Chernobyl (2019) 4 Million Chest X-Rays

A "rock" that can only be found in one place......

American equivalent = Three Mile Island. The coverup of the scale of disaster was complete, that's why ppl consider Chernobyl far worse thanks to Western propoganda.
The only saving grace on Three Mile incident was the reactor had an extra security shielding , that prevented a super f'k up like Chernobyl. Even then there were huge Mishaps that were suppressed by the Media.
The Netflix documentary on it tells all about the larger scale of issues that got hidden from public.

The nature of the Soviet Union… damn nude fucked the entire damn world… thank God there were some honest hearts there…

Gorbachev had the sense to listen and not just hide behind what the party wants people to see. Reason 2532 why the USSR collapsed.

Jared Harris:
- I give you the crown my daughter cough cough 😷 but we must leave the errebus and the terror, you must understand it's not ice it is the pack, because the core is open

Chernobyl is probably what "Red Pilled" Gorbachev

Such a good series.

Just imagine the scale of the disaster is Legasov hadn't spoken up and the Soviet government bureaucrats had kept on with contain and cover up plans and had waited another month or six months before actually trying to solve the problem. How many millions would have died, what condition would the world be in if that reactor had continued to pump out radiation unabated.

It is fascinate how scientist know what probably would cause to him being on that place, and he still doing his life job

It's the best anti Soviet TV series ever!

nothing has changed their mindsets then and now.

russia run by complete fools

Ещё не смотрела, но знаю, что окуп будет приличный

boris: i know i am sure what i have been told is true due to coming from party officials, so everything is good
legasov: no, we are in danger
gorbachov: go check
boris is told the place is radioactive af
boris: professor right, everything dangerous
gorbachov: darn it

The guy was soo smart about convincing them that the core may be exposed that he got Gorbachev to send him to the scene for a massive dose of radiation.

....."No!"

"Take professor legasov with you"
The start of a friendship has begun.

Amazing show just watched all episodes in a row, bravo HBO

"Reported by party officials." = BS

Fallout fact: the radioactive winds went towards eastern Europe, several of those countries were producers of milk. After the incident the western European countries stopped buying it. So they sold it to corrupt officials in Mexico and it was distributed to thousands of households by Conasupo. Needless to say months and years later there was a large number of young mexicans with leukemia and other issues that were not reported in the northern part of Mexico before. It took years to figure out why.

Gorbachev sent both these men to their deaths in this scene, although only Legasov knows it.

This is happening in United States. Trump is the exploded reactor, spewing poison all over the country. If that poison is not stopped the country will die. And many would want you to believe there is Nothing to worry about.

If the poison is not stopped, the country will die, and it can not be healed any More. This is your last chance.

Being born in 1990, basicly Legasov is the reason i'm sitting here writing this message.

Since Gorbachev is hardly in the series, it always bothered me how much the actor looks nothing like him. And then I realized, no one actually looks like Gorbachev lol.

The fact that this happened during Gorbachev and not someone more terrifying and party-philic like Stalin is a strange winding of fates.

didn't know Bubbles was communist

"'I'm not hearing facts (despite the fact that the smartest an in the room is speaking) because they contradict what some Party apparatchiks told me"

Truth triumphs

everything from the acting to the choice of color palette is perfection

This show was INCREDIBLE. Bloody hell I need to watch it AGAINNNNNNNNNNNN

Good thing gorbatov was heading it up. it could have been much worse.

Leonard really tried his best here.

This actor did so so damn good on this show.

These children weren’t ready for this kind of responsibility.

Harkonnen prequel is amazing

Funny how the head of a scientific institute that they called in to be involved with this case almost got shut down because he disagreed with a bunch of government officials and told the truth.

Just like Putin in the war room with his generals in the first few weeks of war.

If Stalin was in charge instead of Gorbachev when this happened, the entire planet would be irradiated and we would all be dead.

Russia never changes.
Well, unless it gets worse

Are not rocks!
They are minerals!

Ostrich Algorithm stonks

Gorbachev was the best leader the ussr/russia ever had

Chernobyl is the Best series ever made. It is PERFECT

The great chest X ray of 1986.

Imagine this scenario with Stalin as the General Secretary

Legasov face was like “I don’t want to look at the reactor, didn’t i just explain how deadly it is to be near it!”

I'm sure it must've occured to Boris later that if Legasov hadn't been sent with him, he probably would have died horribly after taking a look-see directly into the flaming reactor core.
