My favorite moment is Shcherbina yelling into the phone he "knows they're listening". This is officially the moment he fears the radiation more than fearing the State. Each character has their own moment of this, some sooner, some later. Radiation is difficult to imagine it's danger, but everyone knew the punishments disobeying the state can bring. Fascinating to see them switch priorities as they understand situation.

Some people numerously returned to the roof to clean up the graphite, so their younger comrades won't risk their lives. They are the real heroes!

Oppenheimer is not responsible for this as a result of his work. What you two took away from that movie about him is wrong. His task didn’t result in nuclear power plants. He didn’t even discover the way to split the atom, which is ultimately how a nuclear power plant works. It was a British and Irish physicist, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton. Oppenheimer was only responsible for overseeing the Manhattan Project that was responsible for creating the atomic bomb. His role in the actual hard science of even the Manhattan Project is disputed, as over 130,000 people were directly involved. Oppenheimer’s main position was overseeing the other main science teams. It doesn’t mean he was the one crunching numbers and experimenting with machines. What was really responsible for Chernobyl was Socialism/Communism almost always taking shortcuts or cost saving measures to achieve the same goals as a Capitalist society (if you want me to type out an entire book as to why this has always happened throughout history, I unfortunately cannot as KZread has a limit on how long a comment can be). The cheaper graphite tipped fuel rods combined with general incompetency combined with the continuing cycle of blaming someone else is the real reason why this disaster happened. You will find out.

You need to tell us all the snacks you and your dad are eating every episode XD

This man asks the real questions!

Very Good guys. Well this was the most emotional episode as you saw. In the last episode you will finally learn how and what and why it happened. BE SURE you film all of the ending credits

Nice reaction Gentlemen! Great show

I Wish those reactions were longer 😅 unfortunately I can't afford to pay a patreon, but I live ur and u dad reactions ❤ keep the good work!

Hope you don't mind me copy/pasting this one from another recent reaction to this episode, Oh boy...episode 4...most folks find this is pretty much the toughest episode to watch...hope it is not too bad for you folks. Something that does not often get mentioned is that many of the men who went out onto those incredibly radioactive roof sections actually volunteered to go back out more than once in order to save others from having to be "biorobots". Also, that huge revelation that the Soviet State knew about the fatal flaw in the shutdown system and both covered it up and did nothing to fix it, all the while lying to even the plant operators about the safety of the RBMK reactors, is something that could only happen in a totalitarian state like the USSR...where there is no free press or free scientific establishment for whistleblowers to talk to when they know about wrongdoing by the State.

Such heroes that went on that roof ❤️

Chernobyl is in Ukraine and was (maybe is, im not 100% sure) occupied by Russia at some point. During the initial stages of the war I remember seeing articles about Russian soldiers being ordered to create defensive positions in that area, and Ukraine released drone photographs of emplacement construction evidence (before/after photos, which were geolocated pretty easily). Those articles also mentioned Russian soldiers getting sick, and I couldn't believe that they didn't know WHERE they were and that what they were doing was a death sentence. Basically digging up radioactive material in order to make trenches/dugouts. Regular Russian people have already forgotten about Chernobyl.....sad
