The roofs were named for the General's nieces. I think it's safe to say that Masha was a...problematic child...

I once read about one of the animal exterminators at Chernobyl who described in an interview one of his patrols. They encountered a strange creature they'd never seen before. It had no fur, it's skin hung to the ground, they thought they'd found an alien from space. And then it meowed at them.

To me that sounds like a fat egyptian kitty that then suddenly starved to the point of having skin flaps plus perhaps some other illness.

Note that when the young man came across the puppies and their mother, His supervisor knew he did not have it in him to kill them. So, he sent the youngster outside and did it himself. That is leadership.

One of the most important lessons from this episode is learned from the old woman at the beginning. She tells a great deal about the people of the USSR. They have been through much and are a proud, strong people. And as you continue watching, think back to what the horror COULD have been to the world. They cleaned up their mess as best they could. I have watched this series many times. I love it. Ultimately so very sad what they all went through.

"That was you all along" The deadpan delivery gets me every time. Bačo almost tops the miners level for badassery.

This episode dealt with what Legasov called "The Long War". Where as the previous episodes focused on the problems that needed to be solved urgently this episode was about the slow almost torturous cleanup effort. I think it dragged to help represent that.

The popular myth is that all the liquidators died after going out on the roof for 90 seconds. The reality is that they were mostly fine, after their trip to the roof, they worked in the camps in support roles where they wouldn't get much more radiation. General Tokorov (the one giving the soldiers the briefing) made numerous trips out on the the Masha roof and took a near fatal dose of radiation.

A teacher used to explain to us the difference between accidents and negligence. An accident occurs when a person is walking in a field and is struck by lightning. Negligence occurs when a person is walking through the countryside, dressed in metal, in the middle of a thunderstorm, and is struck by lightning. Many of the worst accidents in history, including Chernobyl, Fukushima and others, are the product, to a lesser or greater extent, of human negligence.

The different pace and rhythm of this episode compared to the previous one matches with both the longer aftermath and farther time distance since the explosion. Many months are passed and the "long war" is ahead till the completion of the task and containment. You follow five months of widow's pregnancy, the entire job of rovers and thousands men on the roofs (several months depicted in just a couple of significant shots), and of course an endless task of animal control, environmental damage reduction and large scale evacuation through the eyes of just three guys (and the soldier with the elder lady). So pace has to seem slower and slower than the beginning. It's a great directing and writing choice. Knowing more and better than before, people and characters learn to cope with their awareness at psychological level. Fear is far different. No more panic, just waiting the final acts (both personal and collective). And dealing with it. Same for the audience, who need to take a breath, start to digest information and be prepared for the finale. Great reaction along this journey by the way. I felt you felt it. Thanks

I kinda think it was supposed to drag, to make you feel like you can't just move at a comfortable pace and solve the problems in front of you so easily.

I think this was actually my favorite episode. Never imagined that a scene of men spending 90 seconds on a roof shoveling graphite could be so intense.

Cali B, I can see you being thrown off by the change in pace of this episode from the 3 previous ones. The other episodes had constant problems that needed solving, and human anguish and pain on full display. ----- This episode starts to slow down and get into the technical parts of the clean up and the emotion was to be delivered in killing pets scenes, as well as the anxiety of the 90 seconds run on the roof of Marsha. -------- Understand the show is winding down and the writers had to shift gears to get you ready for the end. ------ I personally love this episode, but episode 3 is probably my favorite.

3 500 soldiers cleaned the roof, and everyone spent 90 seconds up there, that was the scope of their service - and many of them died some years later.

The focus on the animals was a drag. It's a shame animals had to be killed but in the grand scheme of things, its insignificant.

7:05 he ordered the others to go turn the pumps on so they all got sick being so exposed to the core. He was in the bunker so he was given a lesser dose

I’m in love with your intro bit 😊❤

14:21 ask and ye shall receive. 1kg is equivalent to 2.2lbs. It's actually quite easy to remember. Just take the amount you have in kilograms and double it. Then take that number, move it one decimal point left and add it. So 40kg becomes 80lbs. Move one decimal point over and you get 8lbs. Add that and you get 88lbs. 40kg = 88lbs. 50kg = 110lbs.

You are my favourite reactor on KZread by far. So glad I found your channel!

The actor playing Bacho is Fares Fares (sic!) who plays an awesome cop character in the Danish thriller series "Department Q". If you like murky detective stories, those movies are worth watching.

There's a charity called Dogs of Chernobyl that looks after the stray dogs around Prip'yat and the power plant. They trap new ones, give them their shots, spay or neuter them, and turn them loose. They get fed at the guardhouse and like to follow tourists around. They put a plastic tag in their ear so people know which dogs are the tame ones, and having human-friendly dogs around keeps the wild ones away. This is also done in cities and major towns all over Ukraine at normal times. That's why there was that video of stray dogs lining up to use a feeder on the street. It's routine for them.

Oh Honey it wasn't random, the draft took EVERYONE who wasn't sick, old (in their 70s), or a woman.

Haha she said dog doody. Great reaction as always. I always start to feel sick when I watch this.

Radiation most affects cells which are dividing rapidly, like those in a fetus. Another place in the human body where cells are dividing the most rapidly are in the gastrointestinal tract. That’s why you have the vomiting earlier.

40-50kg ≈ 90-110lbs And I agree, this episode feels kinda off compared to the others.

There is a really good documentary about the Masha roof cleanup called Chernobyl 3828. It shows the REAL rooftop with the REAL men who did the work. It’s available on KZread. I know these men were Soviet soldiers and this was during the Cold War but these men are all heroes who should be celebrated world wide.

My favorite part is how they humanize the soldier. The Afghan vet. That's how we talk.

I think the liquidator scene was excellent, there is real footage of those guys if you go looking. The scale of that operation was completely bananas and ironically could have only been carried out somewhere as nutty as the soviet union. The only thing I dont like about this dramatization is that it slightly stylises the events. When you watch interviews with the people involved it's very flat. They are DOUR

We need episode 5 baby!

Well beautiful, the next one is the best episode out of the series. Be rested when you watch because they're gonna explain all the science behind what happened. &graphite moderated RBMK reactors.😊

The final episode's pacing is surprisingly good considering that it's mostly talking

Just popping in to say that I will be watching all of your Chernobyl reaction videos, EXCEPT THIS ONE!!! I can't deal with the "destruction" of the dogs :( Cant wait for epidode 5 though!!

my granduncle got listed also into one of those who had to go on roof. Fact is also some of them went there more then one time and time was more then 90 seconds.

14:16 - Every kg = over 2lb. So over 80 to 100 pounds. Keep that little conversion in mind for ep5 to get an idea of how absurdly powerful the explosion was. 12:43 - It's amazing to me how many people say this. Despite having watched the previous episode. I'd be skipping through posies with a smile on my face every goddamn day if I was on that job. (Granted, I *despise* cats so getting *PAID* to put those little hellspawns in the ground would be a goddamn _DREAM_ but that's not even remotely the point.) Wind blew radioactive dust and ash over the countryside and, as shown with that meter over the puddle with the bike in it, rainwater carries it and lets it accumulate into dangerous pockets of concentrated radioactive material. ...What do you think would happen if the animals proceeded to drink from said water source or eat an animal that did? Or became stuck near a dangerous source of radiation? Or just happened to live where the radiation accumulated naturally? Imagine those people whose bodies were falling apart in hospital 6, but instead of being an adult who knows exactly what's going on, you're an animal with the mental capacity of a very young child, your owners abandoned you for months, you're barely surviving, you're nauseous, you're in pain, and you're all alone. (Keep in mind, no, the radiation wouldn't be as intensely and concentrated as it would've been for the firefighters or plant workers, but again, this is assuming continuous and prolonged exposure day after day.) Now tell me I can make sure that *NEVER* has the chance to happen and all it takes is a single well-placed shot that ends them in the blink of an eye??? I'd be like "sign me the fuck *UP!* _Nothing_ deserves to die like that!"

Why do you despise cats? I get it if someone is not that into them, they're introverted little critters and many people (CoughDogPeopleCough) don't get them, but *despise*?

Within liquidators personal were joking ranks like "Your Brightness" and "Your Shiness" for overdosing and helicopter fell on roof (crew assumed MIA they left in a wreckage) in September because of overtime overworking or overdosing noone knows. And between conscripts was even a one black man (probably a father as a student from Africa, and local white mother)

Well the series is in conclusion. The last episode will explain how it all happened, Be sure you play all the ending credits. They did nt do anything in 1975 because that would have exposed the Soviet Union made a ""Mistake" in design.

Besides the fact that the atomic threat STILL is present inside the remains of the power-plant, it is really shameful that THIS disaster is hardly taught in almost ANY school in the world !!!!!! It is therefore no surprise that so many people don't know what Chernobyl has become infamous about...

"Did I enjoy this episode? Yes." Huh.

Strong radiation will damage electronics. Wikipedia: "Dyatlov died of bone marrow cancer in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1995, which was almost certainly caused by his radiation poisoning from the accident."

This is based on actual events and that cleaning phase took years. Not sure why everything should pop as fast as the first 3 episodes since real life doesnt always follow the demands of a purely fiction based thrillers.

@@shawnmiller4781 This is bit different from doing composite characters.

Спасибо, прекрасная реакция.

whats sad here is one of htese actors has since died in RL. adds extra to his performance.

Every man on that roof sacrificed half his life to clean that mess up.

I don't like most shows for a variety of reasons but Chernobyl was well done (script/writing, directing, acting, etc.). I highly, HIGHLY recommend reacting to The Sopranos. It's an incredible & revolutionary show and the best written show of the past 30 years, if not more.

I think the thing that 'doesn't work' about the episode is, as you noticed, the first really big time jump in the series. It's no longer got the momentum of the unfolding crisis, it's got the enervating weight of the monumental clean-up on display. There's no narrative through-line, just unrelated elements there to show the extent of what has to be done, with a slow deliberate pacing to make you feel how slow and insurmountable it all seems. The first three episodes drive through the knock-on effects of the solution to each crisis becoming the catalyst for the next (covering the reactor fire with boron and sand puts out the fire, but creates lava that will burn through to the water tanks, draining the water tanks prevents the thermal explosion but clears the way for the lava to burn through concrete to contaminate the groundwater, etc.), and the final episode has the incredibly compelling look at the events leading up to the disaster and the political fallout of the trials, which caps everything off and brings it full circle. Usually people don't criticize the drag in episode 4 because the killing of animals grabs the attention and is hard not to dwell on. But yeah, it's there, although it *is* there for a reason, I feel

And this really happened...

Next episode is the best

18:20 RBMK reaktor is like car but only have 1 brake. unlike other reactors have 2 or 3 brakes. and at the time of the incident the brakes were slipped by dyatlof # Get out all the control rods

This for MANY is the hardest episode to watch.

The fourth part of this series is very much about the realization among the people that they may save the day, and stop the continuation of the catastrophe. Still, at the same time, they are trapped in a political system that will not do the right thing in the end. That could have created an uneven drama.

"you can feel the weight of it". VERY well stated. I agree...this is probably my least favorite episode...Episode 5 is my favorite. Hang on...answers on the way. Stay tuned through the credits on Ep5...as there is a LOT of information regarding all of the people who were involved...including the "liquidators". IT will also illustrate why the design of the RBMK reactor is so very different than what we use in the west. Good review...as always.

7:39 But, but _we_ do🔫 🐕🐈💀

This series made loose faith in me, but gained faith in humanity at at once.

I watched a video about Chernobyl this morning. First, a "sarcophagus" was built over the reactor, but due to a number of reasons, it was poorly built. Realizing this, they built a second structure near the reactor that was much better built. It was then moved on rails until it covered the entire reactor. It is only thought to last 100 years and by now, we all know, that is nowhere near long enough. The sarcophagus within is slowly being disassembled.

@David_C_83

11 ай бұрын

Except for some kids alive today, we will never really know if it's enough or not but my understanding of the New Safe Confinement structure is that it was meant to be built over while we disassemble and dispose of everything below relating to reactor 4. So technically if we manage to destroy the sarcophagus and encase the nuclear waste underneath it before the lifespan is over, it might serve its purpose. I don't think it was ever meant to be a long lasting encasing solution like what might've been originally thought of the sarcophagus.

It was until the Russians invaded last February. I don’t know if they have started up again. Still only very basic work in dismantling was being done prior to the invasion of the Ukraine. They are still waiting for it to cool down a bit more

Those dogs were already dead,radiation poisoning is a horrible way to go. The liquadators were given a choice, 90 seconds on the roof or 1 year in Afghanistan. They were all volunteers.

The character development in this show…

The main reason that Chernobyl was such a disaster was the Soviet system of infrastructure. the Soviets convinced themselves they didn't need containment vessels in their nuclear reactors because of their Superior scientific expertise. at the same time promoted people not for their competence and expertise but ONLY their loyalty to the Communist Party.

HBO portrayed Dyatlov as a selfish villain. In reality, he spent hours going around the plant trying to figure out what happened, and then spent the rest of his life trying to make the truth known. Chernobyl blew up because of shoddy design.

As much of a shit show that Afghanistan was for us, it was way worse for the Soviets, and it was still going on at this time, it didn’t end till 89.

"A nation obsessed with not being humiliated." This sentence right here... it explains everything happening in Ukraine right now in 2023. The current political leader of Russia and their government is obsessed with recovering Russian lands and prestige.

Radiation is a funny old thing, you can be exposed to a lot and live a happy long life or it might kill you. The type and amount of radiation released at Chernobyl changed over time, just after the explosion it was very, very bad, over time it reduced to when it was just very bad. The long term effects are unsure and estimates of deaths are only estimates, but are likely to be in the region of 10 to 30 thousand deaths. In comparison to deaths caused by fossil fuel, Nuclear reactors are very safe, especially when not built or run by Russians.

No. It was not an accident. It was poor design.

Brilliant reaction! I have to say one thing though. HBO wanted a spectacular show, with its villains and heroes. Dyatlov wasn't a villain. As soon as the disaster occured, he was all over the plant trying to find out the truth. Please watch his last interview here on KZread. It was the Soviet system that blew the reactor up, not Dyatlov.

Not gonna lie, I ain't usually rude on the internet, but your overplayed comedy, cheerfulness, and mocking throughout this show is a little disturbing, even though I know you probably don't mean it. This literally happened. Not too long ago. We have family members affected by this.

40- 50 kilograms is roughly 88-110 pounds

EPISODE 4 WAS ALSO MY LEAST FAVORITE EPISODE BUT NOT FOR THE SAME REASONS!! MY ISSUE WITH THE EPISODE WAS JUST THE THOUGHT OF KILLING THE PETS, WHICH WAS NECESSARY BUT NOT VERY EASY TO COMPREHEND OR WATCH!! WHAT YOU HAVE TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE DECISIONS THAT THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MADE IS THAT IN 1975 WHEN THIS FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED THAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT, WE WERE AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR AND RUSSIA WAS TRYING TO REBOUND FROM AMERICA LANDING A MAN ON THE MOON AND RETURNING HIM TO EARTH, WHICH WAS WHAT THE WHOLE 1960S PRETTY MUCH WAS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND SOVIET RUSSIA!! AS BORIS HIMSELF SO APTLY STATED RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT WAS OBSESSED WITH BEING NUMBER ONE AND NOT BEING HUMILIATED!! RUSSIAN CITIZENS WERE DEATHLY AFRAID OF SPEAKING OUT AGAINST ANYTING IN FEAR OF EITHER GULAG OR EXECUTION!!! SO YOU HAVE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVEN IF SOMETHING IS DISCOVERED FAULTY, THE POWERS-THAT-BE DO NOT WANT IT EXPOSED THAT THEY MADE A MISTAKE!! SO BASICALLY THEY GAMBLE THAT THE MISTAKE WILL NOT EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING TRAGIC, AS IT DID, AND NOT CAUSE EMBARRASSMENT OR HUMILIATION TO THE SOVIET UNION!! THAT PREMISE IS THE BASIS OF THIS WHOLE HORRIBLE INCIDENT AND WHAT OCCURRED FROM THE MOMENT OF THEM DECIDING TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS SAFETY TEST, EVEN THOUGH THE CONDITIONS WERE NOT IDEAL!!!! EVERYTHING FROM THAT MOMENT FORWARD WAS DRIVEN BY THE FEAR OF EITHER BEING EXECUTED FOR MAKING A MISTAKE OR EXPOSING GOVERNMENT SECRETS THAT THEY DID NOT WANT EXPOSED!!! AS I'VE SAID FROM THE START THE ONLY THING POSITIVE ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION WAS THE WAY THAT THE ORDINARY PERSON OR ORDINARY SOLDIER REACTED WHEN THEY WERE NEEDED!! THEY STEPPED UP KNOWING THAT IT COULD BE THEIR OWN DEATH AND DID WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO SAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF LIVES!!! FOR THAT, THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE GRATEFUL!!!!

40-50 kilograms would be something like 80-100 pounds roughly, more than I would want to lug on my own in a hurry!

cali blend, i'm not a big fan of that show, but it's fun w/ you.

I agree that this episode is the weakest in the series, but it's the only one that is weak.

First comment

40 kilograms is about 90 pounds, 50 kilos is a 110 pounds.

It was pretty far from the control room and the core in that reactor so those that stayed just there did not get badly irradiated, like Dyatlov. But he was closer too and had previously been in another accident...

I'm happy everyday. Proceeds to kill dogs 😂😂😂
