Those jokes here are not right. People in the USSR were killed for less, and it's like Legasov says close the end of the movie; 'Accidentally the party sent their only good man.' He went from not understanding the situation, but willing to risk his life from the start, to going all out to contain the disaster, even if that would kill him, which it eventually did.

@@rascallyrabbit717 If you read the script for this episode, Scherbina himself says that he's a dead man. The dialogue in the script is altered from what we actually saw on TV. Instead of him screaming, "I DON'T GIVE A F***!!!!" he instead screams, "YOU THINK I CARE!? I'M A DEAD MAN!!!!" He already knew that his exposure to the radiation likely spelled his doom, so he had nothing to lose at this point. So he was unrestrained with his anger at the government that hamstrung their efforts to mitigate the disaster every step of the way. For me, it's my favorite moment in his character arc. It's when he truly realized that the state was not on their side. They would rather keep their secrets than do what needed to be done to protect the people. When a government is more interested in its own power than doing right by its citizens, it is inevitable that such a government fails in the end.

I recommend the documentary 'The Battle For Chernobyl'. It really shows the struggle of these men and the lengths they had to go to trying to clean up this insane level of contamination.

This is one my favorite scenes from the whole series. It also provides an abject lesson on the danger of substituting orthodoxy for fact. I love when he comes walking out of the hut with what's left of the phone in his hand.

What i liked about Boros is that he was a realist. Like he knew how the game was played in the USSR, even aknowledged the stupidity of it all, yet he still played within the rules because he knew he could never accomplish anything if he didn't. This scene was basically him saying the quiet part out loud. They are in a situation where they may not have to admit the reality of it to the rest of the world but to not admit it to even themselves is beyond stupid. They expect them to solve the problem yet deliberately hamper their efforts and can't see the correlation between that and their inability to solve it. I think the only reason Boris didn't get in any trouble for that phone call was that on some level, everyone listening knows he's right to be angry.
