Here is an interview with a black liquidator that got quite famous in Russia thanks for the show and that british tweet. Some details:
>As for the black actors in the series, I do not know... The British scriptwriter wants them to be there. If the director knew that I was in Chernobyl, perhaps, a character similar to me would have appeared in this series. But he did not know, could not have imagined this, probably. There is no need to reach insanity in these matters, you need to be guided by the facts. I did not see any other people with dark skin in Chernobyl. But there were so many people there! The huge territory, a large time period, maybe we just didn't met...
>In 1985, I was drafted from Cherepovets, I ended up in Kiev, in a pontoon-bridge regiment. At about two in the afternoon on April 26, 1986, we were told that a state of emergency was being declared. The general declared an order: the enemy is retreating, and we are advancing. He also said that the enemy used nuclear weapons, so the personnel is ordered to use the means of protection. That was all. We were removed from the duties, and began to prepare the equipment, then had the early dinner. At 20.00 we hit the road to Chernobyl. I was 19 at the time.

>I remember that at the meeting before being sent to Chernobyl, some "old servicemen" (that's the common name for the ones that already served one year out of required two) shouted that he knew about the accident. The company commander heard that, and immediately ordered him to be silent, he said that they could imprison him for it, and added that there could be no accidents at the Soviet stations, because they are the best in the world. When we came to Chernobyl, there were no more people there. They met only a babushka, she carried a three-liter jar of milk and offered it to the soldiers, and we asked where are all the people, because the town was already empty. Babushka said that there was a fire at the nuclear power plant, an accident, and everybody was evacuated. It was on April 27th. Then the policeman came up, also told something about the accident. We worked in Chernobyl the full first day, and then we also stayed the night there. In the morning came the company commander, our trucks were sent to the tent camp three kilometers away. At 12.00 there was breakfast, and again - Chernobyl.
>We had ordinary working days: in the morning there, in the evening back to the camp. In Chernobyl, at the river port, we made a pontoon ferry. Then it was necessary to build the crossing on the channel at the NPP itself. We also engaged in the maintenance of facilities. For an hour a day, the bridge was open for passage by ships, tugs and barges that stood in the roadstead. It was necessary to unload lead at the railway station. We got it out of the wagons, loaded into dump trucks, transported it to NPP. Our guys were there too, they put lead in baskets, then they threw it into the reactor mouth by helicopters instead of water. The fourth unit was located 1200 meters from the railway station, from where it was very clearly visible.
(to be continued)

(Cont.)
>It was the hard work. Imagine: 50-60 kilograms of lead on pallets. We open the railway car and see: if lead glitters, it means foreign, packs of 50 kilograms each, if ingots are dark, then it is soviet, 60 kilograms each. People were always happy for imported lead, for it was lighter to carry... There were still such trifles: if KamAZ is approaching, then the cargo board is low, at the head level, it is easier to throw, and if the Tatra, the back of the truck is tall... The first hours, even days, you do not know how to even approach this lead, but then you get used to it. We joked that we didn't need any gym.
>A tent camp was immediately deployed at Chernobyl. Many high-ranking officers came, they decided whom and where to dispatch. On the first day, we went to work in gas masks, in the OZK (a combined-arms protective kit), but in April it was very warm in Ukraine, and the rubber suit accumulated sweat in shoe covers, it was hard to work with. The next day, we just used the ordinary gear and respirators. And OZK doesn't from radiation, only from dust. We generally did not really try to protect ourselves, we were young and fearless. The weather is hot - jackets were off. The authorities are visiting - they are swearing and ordering everyone to dress properly for protection. The authorities leave - again, everyone undresses. We did not work on the roof of the reactor, so we thought that we were somehow safer or something. There were interruptions in food supply, so we went fishing, but silently so that none of the officers could see. The river was good, lots of fish there. We catch a big one, break the belly of it, measure it with a dosimeter: if it is less than the environment, then cook that one right away.

>The company had a large stationary dosimeter. On the first day, small dosimeters in the shape of a pen were given to everyone, but usually they did not work. They picked up as low as a single Roentgen or even half, the arrow stops and does not move further. Once they brought a mitten which was laying outside the camp. The electric dosimeter rolls over, and the small one nearby for a day still shows one Roentgen.
>The normal level of radiation is somewhere between 13 and 14 milliRoentgen per hour, even one Roentgen is much more. The greatest value that I saw on the military dosimeter is four Roentgens. The guys said that somewhere it was ten. Pieces of concrete were lying everywhere, graphite — there the dosimeter really went off scale. Our trucks accumulated a lot of radiation as well. When leaving the area, the equipment was monitored by dosimetry units, if the background radiation was high, the machines were washed with special solutions. If the background didn't fit the norm even after, the trucks were marked with paint and driven away into the "ghoul sumps".

(Cont.)
>The old servisemen worried most: they was to return home soon, and here it is, the work to do. The rest worried less. I still had to serve for a year and a half. We did not worry about anything, there were no such conversations that someone would not go somewhere, would not do something, because it was dangerous. Nobody even considered themselves as heroes - it was just work at that time, a job someone that needs to be done.
>At some point there, in Chernobyl, a tumor appeared on my throat, about five centimeters, there was a burn of the larynx. Most likely, i swallowed something when removing the respirator. A large red pillar stood in the sky over the fourth power unit, it was not a fire, but some kind of dust from concrete and sand. The temperature was enormous, there was soot in the air, and this dust settleв everywhere: on trees, grass, roads... They say that the radiation does not smell, but I still remember the Chernobyl if I feel the smell of overheated peat, iodine, or melting metal. They gave us anti-radiation pills, and they also said that we need to lie on the ground to reduce the radiation. So then I lay half a day, feel better, then i continued to work. Some guys had their hands terribly swollen.

>Of course, the life of the soldiers could be better organized. But you can understand the high command. This was a huge scale event - a disaster! And there was no experience of dealing with it. It is difficult to think about everything at once. Therefore, I don’t see any reason to blame someone, I don’t see any sense in it, I’m not offended, because it was hard for everyone, for the authorities too. We were given orders, and we carried them. Once we arrived at the power unit, and there were concrete slabs laying there, each two by three meters in size. We arrived with KrAZ truck, its platform is more than a meter high. The plates need to be taken away, but there is no crane. So we surrounded the slab, lift it and carry to the truck. Nobody discussed the order - it is necessary so it must be done, just more soldiers arrived. Then they worked 100 meters from the building of a nuclear power plant...
>I stayed in Chernobyl for two and a half months, then they changed us, and the usual service began. I was transferred to drive a passenger car, I began to carry the regiment's second-in-command officer. He again had to go to Chernobyl, usually on weekends.

>Sometimes, you need to go to the regiment, and the cars are over, all in the septic tanks. They drove BAT-M (a bulldozer on an artillery tractor) across the field, through the forest, one more road was parallel to the highway. On her dosimetric control points and bypassed. Somehow we were going to KrAZ, and on such a road local people were stuck in a car. They returned to pick up their car from a village. We have huge cars, large tracks, sandy ground, they fell into a rut. We got them a car, they started it and drove on. "Zhiguli-five" was unkillable machinery. In general, local people began to come back in a month, they were evacuated, but they are fleeing back, because the house has remained, the farm.
>I was told that in the series soldiers are brought boxes of vodka. This is complete nonsense! I saw drunk people in Chernobyl only a couple of times, and then these were “partisans” (as -conscripts called civilians who worked on liquidation). Once I was driving a ZIL for water along the Chernobyl embankment, KamAZ struck me on the turn. The driver was drunk, hooked us and tore out of the board. He was barely able to stand, said that he was carrying waste from the station and he was supposed to be drunk. There was another case when our cook, country guy, traded cereals for moonshine with locals and got drunk. Such offenses were punished: soldiers were forced to dig trenches instead of watching TV on weekends. The policy was as follows: if a soldier is not occupied with anything, he has bad thoughts.

>In our location a dog lived, big, black, like a diver dog. She was with us all the time, she even ran to work on the bridge, but she didn’t understand that the radiation was all around. Her hair fell on her back, but she still enjoyed life... We washed her, disinfected, measured with dosimeter... Nobody drove the dog away, she slept in a tent with us. We left, others came to our place, the dog lived with them. I learned later that a year after the end of my service the dog died, they buried her behind the camp. Chernobyl was a tragedy. But life in the camp was not tragic: jokes, stuff, as usual.
>Yesterday I watched the first episode of the series. The director approached the movie very seriously. The atmosphere is conveyed exactly as it was, the film creates an impression of reality, at least it seemed to me like it is. There are some excesses, but this is a feature film, not a documentary. I will surely watch it to the end when i will have time. The filmmakers reminded us all that there was such a disaster, and this is the result of its own.
>We keep in touch with some of our comrades, with someone, we do not. Two friends, they live in Vologda and were in Chernobyl, are not alive anymore. Many began to drink after Chernobyl: health is undermined, the mood is bad. I enjoyed sports before the army: skating, basketball, skiing, cross-country running... And after the army I tried to remain active. If you do not do anything, then there will be no good health for you.

I feel too much roof time would have diluted it

Those 90 seconds of pure adrenaline were some of the best of the show, it was good because it lasted exactly how it was for them

(Except in real life it was 5 minutes)

I agree that doggo was too long

In a weird way, the roof scene is a kind of humanizing moment for the USSR. Like generally it's this decaying repressive as fuck state, but when it has an actual monster to fight, it gets its shit together *real* quick.

That's a trait of Soviet/Russian/Slavic people.

Watching people at funerals always makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. I immediately think that if I was to attend a funeral of my loved ones I'd rather refuse and mourn in loneliness because I don't want anyone to see my grief in publicity. Or maybe I just won't be able to properly show any emotion because I am pretty much dead inside and would simply go into a torpor.
Yeah, probably the latter.

they mentioned all three survived at the end

I think it has to do with the fact that attending the funeral is going to be your last chance to see that loved one, despite being in a coffin, and be close to his body, and then he's sealed away underground for an eternity probably.

the 3 guys didn't want any attention and 2 are still alive today.

I genuinely don't understand how the Soviet economy worked. Like, if there is no capitalism, then where does the government get its money from? Governments usually fund themselves by taxing individuals and corporations but all the corporations in the USSR are state-owned so the government would literally just be taxing itself if it taxed the corporations. I don't get it.

>we’re still posting the fuckin’ memes

Some said they should have more nuclear disasters to make TV shows .

I named a few : with what they could call them

SLA-1 was a US Army test reactor -- one of the crew was missing for three days.

he was nailed to the ceiling of the reactor room by a control rod

Three mile Island,

multiple problems of they had just went from full power to scram, -- they had trained for single problems/ two logical problems -- but there were so many alarms going off they lost meaning and got tunnel vision on a set of controls not knowing that the pressurized water was emptying out because of a stuck valve.

both the Nrx and Nru -- they gave the wrong directions to some one and caused an accident--

The Oksama ?sp?-- Japanese one , they bypassed the nice safety equipment to mix the fuel with a mop bucket .

>The party "Communist Parties of Russia"
Wow it's fucking nothing

I was doing research on Chernobyl since I was 12. The whole incident has always been a morbid fascination of mine. Most of the show overblew the danger, and the cleanup was not as dramatic, just a series of babysteps that was handled pretty well.

And it wasnt the fault of Soviet politicians. Just the human nature to save money. And to move up on the chain at the expense of others, Dyatlov is like many bosses, and we've all been in Akimovs shoes.
Hell, Asbestos in the U.S has probably caused more cancer than Chernobyl did.

Its not propaganda imho. And people look a bit too deep into it. Its just a lesson on how much things could go to shit because one small detail, the literal hole in the death star. And to always cherish every day with your family and work together in tough situations. Hence the shot of the crew and firemen enjoying a peaceful life in episode 5.
What was a major cause of the accident? The discourse between dyatlov and Akimov. Dyatlov was aggresive, and Akimov valued career over saftey. But during the accident instead of the blame game, the crew stayed calm and worked to minimize damage, the problem was an accident shouldnt have forced that to happen. I cant say I wouldnt have done what Akimov did, because if he did stand up to dyatlov and refused, he'd be fired, the accident avoided, but no one would ever know what was prevented by doing that. He would fade into obscurity.

And thats the true scary thing. The unforseen consequences we avoid every day.

It's again reinforced with Boris and Legasov, they didnt have time left and so they used each day to their best of their abilities. The clean up went smoothly because they got over their animosity and worked together, Boris' connections with Legasovs know how. Ofc legasov didnt redpill a whole court. But the moral of the story is, if you have the opportunity. Take it, life is unexpected and short.

Things can and will happen that is just beyond our control.

I also would like to add that this actually showed communism at its best. The workers of the world uniting to save the day. Firefighters,miners,soldiers, hunters. All played a key part.

why did the deer go green

>Do you know anything about this town, Chernobyl?
From the first tape:
>A few hours later we reached the city of Chernobyl... So very green, very pleasant, so quiet and rural - it impressed all of us as we drove through. It was quiet, calm, everything was going like in everyday life.
>Remembering this road now, I must say that it didn’t even occur to me that we move towards an event on a planetary scale, an event that will probably forever be remembered in human history as, say, the eruption of famous volcanoes - the doom that came to people of Pompeii or something close to that. On the road, we did not know this yet, we just thought about the scale of the waiting ahead. Will it be easy or difficult there on the spot - in general, all our thoughts were directed towards what was ahead of us.

all governments print money, that's where money comes from.

So instead of working for a business who then pays you less than what they make from your work, and then you use that money to pay rent, and groceries and shit. You get paid by the government, and they also give you housing and groceries and hospitals and the other stuff that you and businesses normally pay for with taxes.

The things you produce from your job at the steel plant or the shoe factory are given to other government places to give to people or used in new buildings etc. You don't tax the business you own, you supply them from other businesses that you own. "ideally" all that stays within your country, you're entirely self sufficient, but in reality and in practice you sell some of those shoes and steel and buy things that you can't get or can't make in your communist country.

>incentive to work came from the fact that you were enslaved by the state

It's pretty much this, you're bound to the state. Although the incentive to work is essentially the same incentive; If you don't work, you don't get housing or your daily allotment of rice and flour or whatever. Just the same as if you're not going to work in a capitalist country you can't afford rent or groceries.

>and you didn't have the right to own firearms.
You could own a firearms for hunting or if you were a farmer etc or member of a shooting club, although if you were a shooting club member your guns were kept at the club. Other guns (non hunting stuff) you couldn't provide a rationale for were not allowed to be kept in your house, which seems to make pretty good sense to me.

Anyone else think Episode 1 would have been better if it had the pre-meltown scenes from Episode 5? I feel like starting in the middle of the incident made it a bit less effective.
Also, I would have liked it best if they also didn't show the explosion happening. It would put you in the perspective of the workers not knowing what the fuck happened.

Friendly reminder that Putin had less people killed than Hillary Clinton and she was not even president

source?

Pretty normal phenotype for many Russians. BTW the asianess doesn't come from Mongols, like many like to meme. But from mixing with various natives Russians colonized/conquered.

The article has a note it being false now.
>I'm really getting the sense far more creative liberty was taken than admitted to.
I'd say too much liberty, there are dozens of outright false moments.

What would happen if they'd just nuked the reactor once it exploded? Sure it would release a ton of radiation but it would stop the reaction and spare all the men labouring to remedy the disaster up close.

>I feel like starting in the middle of the incident made it a bit less effective.

in medias res is supposed to create mystery. Having those pre-meltdown scenes kind of removes a central mystery of the show.

>I would have liked it best if they also didn't show the explosion happening

this might have been cool, but i don't think it'd work. it would have been too confusing, instead of just setting up a mystery of how the reactor exploded. the revisit still in ep 5 wouldn't have been as strong

it's a moronic statement, the data for it literally doesn't exist

Careful with that screwdriver

>they'd just nuked the reactor once it exploded

i'd guess that you're just spreading nuclear debris everywhere, and putting it into the atmosphere. you would just make a giant dirty bomb that is now spreading out over a much larger area. you might disintegrate the core but it doesn't really solve any problems, you still have shit everywhere.

i just wanted to see what the rationale for it is.

>Having those pre-meltdown scenes kind of removes a central mystery of the show.
I don't really feel that, you still don't know why the explosion happened without Legasov's explanation. All you know is that Dyatlov was being a retard. The explosion itself still needed to be explained.

How do you think a morbidly obese man became chief of the miners ?

A lot of Russians do. Russia is a very ethnically diverse country

I doubt they'd know how to properly stage the explosion from the perspective of the people in the control room. Considering what Lyudmila's experienced in her apartment miles away, I don't get how the operators could fail to believe that a catastrophic event had occurred. The shock and sound must've been earth shattering.

Oh fugg1!

You are delusional, comrade.

;__;

Russia is about twice the size of the US borders both norway, north korea and (practically) alaska at the same time. of course theyre going to appear diverse ethnically.

Why didnt chernobyl have those aesthetic as fuck cooling towers, bros?

I swear that this scene is what made Chernobyl notable and a good show.

Too expensive Comrade.

there's just too much fuel for it to work, it would poison the whole country and surrounding areas

He probably was skinny when he was a core miner. Now he does mostly management

Nah that's the whole mystery of the show: how does an rbmk refactor explode?

Yea, the depiction of the denial was amazing.

Eh, I still prefer how we got things. It lets us get a taste of Dylatlov at both the beginning and end of the series, as well making Akimov and the rest's fate more tragic

>all boring compared to fukashima
Yawn

Because his story was the most tragic; a guy who wasn't even supposed to be there being forced to essentially kill himself because of Soviet leadership, and his death ultimately meaning nothing since they still didn't believe him. Fomin and Bryukhanov sent him to his death, and he just had to sit there and take it as they belittled him

I kinda want to write an "Imagine being Sitnikov in this scene" pasta when he's looking down into the core but I can't be fucked

in communism, people are slaves to the state.

Quiet Comrade I know what I'm doing.

>Also, I would have liked it best if they also didn't show the explosion happening
Do you mean in episode 1 or 5? When they showed the control room sequence in ep5, I briefly had the expectation that they wouldn't show the explosion because it would've been too predictable and would seem somewhat cheap. I was still somehow glad that they did, and that they didn't/don't harp on the core itself throughout the series (just a few short shots of the explosion/exposed core) since the core is nigh impossible to observe in real life.
Overall the control room sequences were pretty tasteful and satisfying

Only plebs would like a chronological cut like this.

Episode 1 thrusts you in straightaway and shit never steps being real. It's fantastic.

Some russian journalist interviewed ignatenko's old frail mother and showed her scenes of his son, including hospital scenes where her son is disintegrating alive.
it's on youtube i don't have link anymore.

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH RUSSIANS

>Delusional amerilard

Creating a continental, if not global, disaster does not show Communism at its best.

no

>The spray of water and steam knocked two operators onto the floor, killing one and severely injuring another. The No. 7 shield plug from the top of the reactor vessel impaled the third man through his groin and exited his shoulder, pinning him to the ceiling. The victims were Army Specialists John A. Byrnes (age 22) and Richard Leroy McKinley (age 27), and Navy Seabee Construction Electrician First Class (CE1) Richard C. Legg (age 26). It was later established by author Todd Tucker that Byrnes (the reactor operator) had lifted the rod and caused the excursion; Legg (the shift supervisor) was standing on top of the reactor vessel and was impaled and pinned to the ceiling; and, McKinley (the trainee) stood nearby. Only McKinley was found alive, though unconscious and in deep shock, by rescuers. This was consistent with the analysis of the SL-1 Board of Investigation and consistent with the results of the autopsy, which suggested that Byrnes and Legg died instantly, while McKinley showed signs of diffuse bleeding within his scalp, indicating he survived approximately two hours before succumbing to his wounds. All three men succumbed to injuries from physical trauma; however, the radiation from the nuclear excursion would have given the men no chance of survival even if they had not been killed by the explosion stemming from the criticality accident.

You know, my dear US friend. Not everything in the world is about firearms. Believe it or not, most nations don't share your gun love.

Anyway, let's ask ourselves this. What is our incentive to work? Is it to better ourselves? No, mostly not. We work to survive. We are not that free either. If you a job you love, it's great. But not when you have a shitty job

nice one user

i watched it yesterday with my boomer parents born in the 60s in soviet bloc
they don't really know much about the disaster but they were very impressed with attention to detail
interiors, vehicles, phones, clothes, even pens, everything is so spot on that even I recognize some of it from early 90s
I believe that soviet 80s have never been depicted so accurately in western media before

the show is great, although dog killing arc in 4th episode was needlessly prolonged, and also I think Dyatlov's character was demonized a bit too much - i think depicting him a black and white character at the same time would be much more in taste
nevertheless everything else is close to perfection, but nothing is perfect.

I rate this show 15000 out of 3.6 roentgen

u wut

If they razed forests and killed animals, why is the exclusion zone teeming with plant and wild life?

it comes back over time

Radiation isn't permanent. It just lasts a long time. Any vegetation and phauna residing in the area could potentially hold rare DNA defects but grow accostumed to the low levels of radiation over time.

They razed the fields and killed animals because they were radioactive, big brains. The background radiation still goes away.

No. I've only watched scenes on youtube and it looks like they just kiss when his boyfriend is dying

9.6 on IMDB. Not great, but not terrible.

There's a marxist concept called surplus value.

Basically, if I'm your boss, maybe I pay you ten dollars an hour, and the upkeep/material you use/electricity in your workplace costs another ten for you to do what you're doing. But in order for a profit to exist, the value created by your work must be higher than both these figures combined. Say in an hour of work you create 30 dollars of wealth. You take 10. 10 goes to the costs of production. But 10 goes to whoever owned the company even though you created that wealth. That 10 is the surplus value of your labour that you're not allowed to have even though you made it with your work.

In a capitalist country, the government taxes the 10 you get and a much smaller fraction of the 10 the owner gets in order to fund itself

In the soviet union the 10 that would go to the company owner just goes to the state. So that's how they get their money.

No

Akimov looks like a young Ed Kemper

Attached: KemperonKemper.jpg (618x412, 26K)

Spoilers: It didn't work. Trains would leave coal mines completely full (the miners having worked overtime to produce more than their quota, thus earning them bonuses and medals from the state) and then head to coal power plants, which couldn't take any more coal, so they'd head back to the mines half full. All of that work for nothing. When it's coal, that's fine, but apply that same principle to food. Grain rots in storage, thus causing bread shortages further down the line.

No western reactor with such poor basic encapsulation would ever be built, regardless of how much money the project had. No government or company would ever take the risk. Your argument is invalid.
