I love how the series not only shows that Chernobyl was caused because of incompetence and lies. But also celebrates the heroism and sacrifice of the Soviet people who did everything they could to minimize the damage. In the end, thousands would suffer the effects of radiation. Thousands more would never return to their homes. But it is through their great struggle that they saved millions more from sharing such a fate. A true testimony to the pursuit of truth and selflessness in the face of a deadly element

@agsystems8220

The heroism is a strength of the series, but I really wish it didn't exaggerate the damage and further threats as much as they did. We have released 1000x the fallout from Chernobyl in nuclear tests over the years. The 'third explosion' would have been bad, but not world ending bad. It would have been 'don't play outside for an extra week' bad, maybe increasing the fallout from the disaster by 30-60%. The biggest problem that was badly mitigated was Iodine, but that was only a problem for a few weeks. Millions were never at risk and the total deaths and injuries caused by the accident are likely less than the Bhopal disaster. Meanwhile we continually release mercury by burning coal doing far more damage in longer timescales, and we accept that! My understanding is that many of the efforts were ineffective*. This does not make them any less heroic, but the portrayal of the event as a lucky close call to something much worse is scaremongering. It is actually hard to dream up a worse worst case scenario that doesn't involve deliberately bad design and operation. *Very little of the sand hit it's mark, the fire mostly burned itself out. The miners stopped digging when it became clear the heat exchanger would not be needed. The tank the divers helped to drain was never badly breeched, and was partially breeched before any draining could occur. Many of the firefighters were killed by beta burns that were exacerbated by failing to remove their contaminated gear (shown in the series, but not emphasised), and could have been saved. Their breathing gear kept them from inhaling particles. Interestingly, the divers were actually safer than generally assumed. Pools of water are great absorbers of radiation, and given the dust in the air it is likely that the radiation levels in the water were lower than in the air outside the building due to the dust not settling on their gear. Still balls of steel on them, but they would have been grateful for the water. It is actually a concern in spent fuel pools that diver's radiation detectors will not spot something dangerous before they pick it up, with the idea that spent fuel pools would have divers in them giving you an idea of how good water is at the job.

@Ordinary Sessel the effect of radiation over the body can be categorised in two categories: Deterministic are shown immediately or in the aftermath of the exposure and are shown in the miniseries (the fire fighters). They are threshold triggered; they only appears when exposure reaches or goes beyond a certain level of radiation. And most importantly, in this topic, they are sure 100% Probabilistic they are not threshold triggered. If there are two people, one exposed to 0.1 and the other to 10, they have even likelihood to develop the disease (neoplasm). In the real world: you can have a chest x-ray and develop cancer and another person visits Chernobyl and not developing it. So if they survived the deterministic effects of radiation, they are likely to develop cancer. So far no one of them has suffered from it and one died because of a cardiac disease. Anyway, they are heroes. But science is science.

These are some that died within a year due to radiation (minus the divers) Divers: Alexei Ananenko Valery Bespalov Boris Baranov Firefighters: Vasily Ignatenko (1961 - 1986) Leonid Telyatnikov (1951 - 2004) Vladimir Pravik (1962 - 1986) Yakaterina Ivanenko (1986) Viktor Kibenok (1986) Yuriy Konoval (1986) Klavdia Luzganova (1986) Nuclear engineers: Aleksandr Akimov (1953 - 1986) Valery Khodemchuk (1986) Toptunov (1986) Vladimir Shashenok (1986) Aleksandr Yuvchenko (1986) Valeriy Perevozchenko (1986) Vyacheslav Brazhnik (1986) Viktor Degtyarenko (1986) Aleksandr Lelechenko (1986) Anatoly Kurguz (1986) Aleksandr Kudryavtsev (1986) Viktor Lopatyuk (1986) Oleksandr Novyk (1986) Ivan Orlov (1986) Kostyantyn Perchuk (1986) Georgi Popov (1986) Pyotr Palamarchuk Razim Davletbayev And the 400 miners, in which over 100 are thought to have died before the age of 40, working day and night to stop a catastrophe from happening. The total death count is frightening and shameful, considering the Soviet Union only claims 31 as the official count.

I salute for those heroes, for those who were working silently to save others, for the crew of all the helicopters helping to extinguish the fire, for those firefighters who died because of the radiation and for many other people who tryed their best to help everyone else. I salute them.

Im proud of my grandfather who was one of the volunteers liquidating the consequences of nuclear plant. These people didnt fight with death itself not for country, not for government but for life and future. Maybe that sounded weird or too pretentious.. But anyway, USSR was a strange place where lying and indifferent nomenclature lived next to ordinary people, heroes and self-sacrificing altruists. The series is perfect, it 100% deserves to be memorised and rewarded. Id even suggest to add it into history teaching materials. Ive read all S. Alexievich' books and I must say its a worthy literature. Stay safe, people.

My grandfather was also one of the first responders that was called in. He was from the lviv region and they called in a bunch of people to help with the disaster. He was a director of a construction firm for the Soviet union and they called him and his co workers to help with their trucks to assist in the area.Unfortunately he passed away in the early 2000s to cancer and I never got a chance to ask him specifics on Chernobyl. At least this show is bringing light to this catastrophe and more people are shown what happened and how the responders suffered.

I'm an American but I can clearly see the sacrifice made by those men to save others, not just in Russia, but worldwide. May they rest in peace with the tears and heartfelt thanks of the people they saved.

I've read a lot about Chernobyl and the engineering teams and firefighters who died during the early hours after the explosion fighting the blaze, but I never knew of those who essentially buried themselves alive to save the rest of Ukraine and the USSR. There is not enough the world can ever do to thank you, but the least we can do, is to tell your story true and give your names to our future generations. Thank you...

Every time the higher ups at your work lie, it's your duty to stand up and bring it up to the forefront, and tell the truth. Don't think the future disasters won't impact you, and even if it doesn't, you owe it to speak the truth. That would be your sacrifice.

The fact that they had to bury the bodies in lead coffins and cover them with cement is scary enough.

There are many who are willing to sacrifice a little. There are some who are willing to sacrifice much. Then there are the few, the rare few, who are willing to sacrifice everything, for everyone. That is the mark of a true hero.

I have said it before but I'm going to say this again. This mini series is something that I have never experienced before, and most likely never will again. It's an incredibly rare combination of horror, heroism, history, biography and documentary. I enjoyed everything about it and I mean it. The story, the cinematography, the characters, the script, the actors and the most standout, the music, is just captivating as hell. This series somehow managed to execute both hopelessness and hopefulness in the most brilliant way. How the hell did this production team managed to do that I have no idea. RIP to all that died and still suffered because of Chernobyl. Your death and suffer is not in vain.

Just having the agony of slowly literally melting from the radiation is terrible, and through what people have gone through

“Real heros don’t wear capes or medals, they wear lead shielding.”

“Every generation must know their own suffering.”

Seriously this edit made me cry, very well done

In this video you didn’t see graphite. You saw heroes. 💪

It is the story telling of this caliber that enables us to remember our past so as to “hopefully” not repeat it. We can also actually “know” those people that did their best when faced with insurmountable road blocks and still pushed forward. While it seems of little comfort for all those that died or are still dealing with the after effects and the families that lost so much. From one human being to another thank you for your sacrifice to save so many. I would like to challenge other film makers and studios to do movies like this. I say it so not to give praise or recognition but so we as a global society will know what happened. Stories like this are our history and give our future generations a better grasp of past events both good and horrible. Again great video and the segments where nicely chosen.

Remember, Alyosha, the roads of Smolenshchina, Remember the rain and the mud and the pain, The women, exhausted, who brought milk in pitchers, And clasped them like babies at breast, from the rain. The whispering words as we passed them - "God bless you!" The eyes where they secretly wiped away tears! And how they all promised they would be "soldatki", - The words of old Russia from earlier years. The road disappearing past hills in the distance, Its length that we measured with tears on the run. And villages, villages, churches and churchyards, As if all of Russia were gathered in one. It seemed that in each Russian village we passed through, The hands of our ancestors under the sod Were making the sign of the cross and protecting Their children, no longer believers in god. You know, I believe that the Russia we fight for Is not the dull town where I lived at a loss But those country tracks that our ancestors followed, The graves where they lie, with the old Russian cross. I feel that for me, it was countryside Russia That first made me feel I must truly belong To the tedious miles between village and village, The tears of the widow, the women's sad song. Remember, Alyosha, the hut at Borisov, The cry of the girl as she mourned, and the sight Of the grey-haired old woman, her velveteen jacket, The old man, as if dressed for death, all in white! And what could we say? With what words could we comfort them? Yet seeming to gather the sense of our lack, The old woman said "We shall wait for you, darlings! Wherever you get to, we know you'll come back!" "We know you'll come back!" said the fields and the pastures, "We know you'll come back!" said the woods and the hill. Alyosha, at nights I can hear them behind me. Their voices are following after me still. By old Russian practice, mere fire and destruction Are all we abandon behind us in war. We see alongside us the deaths of our comrades, By old Russian practice, the breast to the fore. Alyosha, till now we've been spared by the bullets. But when (for the third time) my life seemed to end, I yet still felt proud of the dearest of countries, The great bitter land I was born to defend. I'm proud that the mother who bore us was Russian; That Russian I'll fall as my ancestors fell; That going to battle, the woman was Russian, Who kissed me three times in a Russian farewell!

Even though the series may not have been the most accurate, this still portrayed the sheer devastation of Chernobyl and did what many disaster movies failed to implement into their films.

They gave their own life for ours... What we can give back is honor and to remember their names!

that exact moment of goosebumps when the General says "It's not 3 roentgen , it's 15000"

Because 35 years ago today, brave men and women chose to sacrifice to save many. May God bless them.

How painfully beautiful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for making this!

One of the most horrifying movies I've ever watched. Im a hard bitten military, police, emt. This totally touched me in a way that I never thought capable. The depth of the emotion is indescribable.

I’ve seen a ton of edits/mixes like this on KZread on this show and this is far and away the best one. Well done.

I read the 3 people that went into the water, 2 of them are still alive. And they went in the most hazard part knowing they will die. That’s hero shit to look at death a mean death right in the face.

My heart bled for those brave people and yet I am so proud of those firefighters and selfless others who gave their lives to save others. I love the Russian people they are a breed apart.

It's amazing these people sacrificed everything to save lives. It wasn't about money, social status, or what's in it for me. they did it because it had to be done , and it was the right thing to do. A rarity these days. Such bravery... true hero's!

I believe those are lead-lined coffins, which help stop emitting radiation.

Great video but I'm kind of dissapointed that you didn't include Leonid Toptunov and Aleksandr Akimov. They warned Dyatlov several times about the risks and they were the first that went into the radioactive water to switch on the valves, knowing that it would probably kill them.

"For God Sakes, Boris.. You were the one that mattered most.."

Brilliantly done, brought tears to my eyes.

My mother, grandmother and grandfather lived through this moment. Brings tears to my eyes when I think about the fact that this was a horrible thing at the time.
