Your grandfather was a hero. Much love from America.

One symbolic moment that might not be exactly clear in the translation - when he asks her what she sees from the window in the hospital she says: "Kremlin". Everybody is picking upon that she is saying this probably realising that he is not going to see it himself ever again. Then he goes on "St.Basil's?" - meaning whether she sees the St.Basil's Cathedral. Basil in Russian is Vasily (St.Basil's Cathedral is the Cathedral of Saint Vasily in Russian). His own name happens to be Vasily. So the question sounds like whether she sees Saint Vasily in Russian. She looks directly at him and says "Yes".

That's how I understood it, and how it seemed obvious to the Russian (born and live near Moscow). Many people, if not most, living far from the center dream at least once to get to Moscow, to visit the Red square (comes from the word beautiful, not blood as many think) St. Basil's Cathedral and TSUM (Central Department store, where you can buy different things that were not in the place where they live, especially during the deficit, although few people bought, it was expensive). So, this fireman promised his wife, like many other men to his wife, to take her to see the red square and this Cathedral because it is very close, at the end of the square and it should be seen, he has his own whole story, built it under Ivan the terrible , I think the Italian architects and it is really very beautiful and And so Lyudmila decided to make a positive note in this situation, although Vasily is now very weak and can do little, was able to fulfill the promise and still brought his wife to Moscow on red square and she looked at this Cathedral. At the end he said this phrase I told you that I will take you to the red square.

Не совсем так, хотя второй ваш смысл действительно красив, может такой подтекст и хотели придать американские сценаристы. Вот как понял это я, и как это показалось очевидным россиянину (родился и живу около москвы). Многие люди , если не сказать большинство, проживающих далеко от центра мечтают хоть раз попасть в Москву, посетить Красную площадь (происходит от слова красивый, а не кровь как многие думают) собор Василия Блаженого и ЦУМ (центральный универмаг, где можно было купить разные вещи которых не было в том месте где они живут, тем более во время дефицита, хотя мало кто покупал, там было дорого). Так вот, этот пожарный обещал своей жене, как и многие другие мужчины своим жена, свозить ее посмотреть на красную площади и этот собор ведь он совсем рядом, в конце площади и его должно быть видно, у него своя целая история, строили его при Иване грозном , помоему итальянские архитекторы и он действительно очень красивый и вторго нет. И вот Людмила решила внести положительную нотку в эту ситуацию, хотя Василий сейчас очень слаб и мало что может, смог выполнить обещание и все таки привез жену в москву на красную площадь и она посмотрела на этот собор. В конце он сказал такую фразу я же говорил, что отвезу тебя на красную площадь.

Now since my comment seems to peak an interest, lets think about this further: lets say that in 3, 4 or 5 thousand years, people know as much about the 20th century, then we know about the classic greek era. They have a general idea what happen in the century but not necessary detail knowledge. they dig up buildings and cities of the 20th century before and they are familiar with our graves. Now they find this block made of concrete. First they think maybe it was a foundation, but then they wonder why is no building on it or around it (at the same timeline). Then they scan block, see the coffins in it. They open the block to review the coffins (not realistic since we today do alot through Scanning and never oping somethings) They will begin to wonder: why lead? Lead isn't common in this era for coffins, why use it here? They will wonder about the people inside... were they villains sentence to a horrible death? Heroes would coffins were to be secured for the ages? and they would still detect radiation. Now I don't know how much would be left of them and what bones show by victims of radiation, but I sure you would still find. They begin to understand some things. They would understand the lead, they would understand the concrete. What they would never understand, would be Chernobyl.

Their bodies were made so poisonous that they couldn't even be returned to the dirt and had to be sealed in lead lined coffins and concrete.

My favourite scene is probably her recounting the sights from Vasily's window even though all she could see was the dirty walls of the hospital. It's so subtle and touching.

I'm gonna spare you the details, but the deaths of the first responder firefighters were even worse than they show here. Let's just say organs went where they are not supposed to be. As for the miners, about a quarter of them have since died of cancer or other radiation related illnesses. All in all this show is incredibly accurate while simplifying some things that need to be simplified, like for example condensing all the scientists advising into one representative fictional person. And the different radiation doses? If it's mostly alpha radiation, that gives horrible radiation burns, but you can recover. Beta gives you cancer and all the longterm stuff (but doesn't have to, depending on dosage and depth of penetration). Gamma radiation or even worse, neutron radiation? Dead in days.

But also the small moment's of humour that doesn't last long slightly breaking the ice before the hard-hitting reality comes back into play.

Actually the divers wasted their time also, once Legasov was able to get cameras inside the basement a month or so after the accident he realised that the molten core didn't get anywhere near the basement as it had begin to solidify in the room directly below the reactor pressure vessel, the control rod assembly room - this is where the notorious "elephant's foot" is located. Obviously he had no way of knowing that in advance so the draining of the basement and the mining beneath the plant were considered critical to avoiding disaster.

Hi, I'm Russian and I want to thank you for these reaction videos on Chernobyl. It's always a pleasure to see how people overseas are being interesting in our history and culture. I enjoyed this show too and get a lot of information about Chernobyl disaster.

Hi American friends, I live not far from Moscow, as for my opinion, despite some inaccuracies, this is probably one of the best shows captured amerekantsy about Russia, particularly attaches importance to the serious study of the texts in rear plans, no errors and other language (polisci and other), all the equipment really, the Soviet Union, the story and the whole timeline worked out in detail, images from the series almost copied the real footage Chronicles and keeps naprijenie throughout the series. It was especially nice to see Jared Harris in the role of scientist Legasov, I remember him on the TV series FRINGE, where he also played a scientist. On account of the opinions that we are making a film about Chernobl to declare someone guilty spies, not believable. Ask anyone in our country about Chernobyl, practitioners everyone knows about this event, someone is familiar with the liquidators, my parents remember how that summer brought children from the Gomel region for the summer in our region, of course of current importance and passing events at that time, no one knew. Since it was filmed a lot of documentaries a lot of them on ruskoyazychnoy ytuui (kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYGJm5RthLStj5M.html) ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4qoyrmLZMa4Yco.html) ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqZlmaRydqzXmKQ.html ) , can be translated in the translator, the word Chernobyl and paste it in the search if interested , there is an interview Dyatlov later not many years after the accident, and other. Summing up I will say that the series is gorgeous, filmed at a high level and personally I really liked it.

По поводу художественности, прикрываясь этим словом можно так извратить факты и выставить нас дебилами и говорить: хей это ж не документалка, это ж художественый фильм - мы так видим! Конкретно по этому сериалу, повторюсь, мне он понравился,считаю что он крут, по мне так это лучший сериал снятый англоязычными про Россию (Украину дл я придирчивых) мир всем:)

This episode was brutal. The next might be the toughest, though. Actually can't wait to rewatch the series, knowing what I know by the end. The speed that this channel is growing is awesome, though; you guys definitely deserve it.

You're both wonderful. Thank you for going beyond the fun and reacting to the stuff that hurts, too. Sometimes, we just need someone to cry along with us. Much love to you!

I thought that was Ben Mendhelson, too!

In addition to the camera, sound, music, & acting; How about the effects and the makeup! The make up / CG on those burn victims is insane. The shots of the smoke column and the burning core are terrifyingly beautiful!

I finished the series but watching your videos makes me wanna rewatch the whole thing again! Cant wait for your next reaction, cause the show only gets better.

I finished the series today and although I have heard of Chernobyl before I was completely unaware of the horrific extent of it. I have seen many people in the comments saying they personally knew some of the victims - my sympathies to all of you. Words cannot describe the tragedy your people endured. Love from South Africa

You know, i'm glad to see tears, because it's true enotions. Great video! Waiting for next episodes👍✌

I promise you will be blown away by the last episode. It got rated 10/10 on imdb, I don't think this has ever happened before, but it's totally deserved.

I also whispered “...A scientist” just a millisecond before he said it. I was hoping you would do it too and you did! Greetings from a fellow scientist 👩🏻‍🔬 Great reaction btw 👍🏼

YAYYY, scientists unite! Thank you 🥰

Thank you for reacting to this show! It has quickly become one of favourite shows of all time and I am so glad you are also enjoying it despite the subject matter. Keep up the great work!

During the funeral, you can see the wives carrying pairs of shoes each. Craig Mazin, the creator and writer of Chernobyl explained that it's a customary thing to dress your passing loved ones in their best pair of shoes but since her husband is highly radioactive and had to be concrete sealed in a lead box, she couldn't do that, so they all held them in their hands during service..

To be honest, this is the only reaction channel that I’ve found and thoroughly enjoyed. You guys are awesome. 👌🏻👌🏻

What's crazy about it is that it's a watered down version. In reality what happened to Vasily and the rest of the fire fighters / night shift was much, much worst than what they showed in the mini series.

Great videos. Love the reactions, and especially the background photo's that you have used thusfar. Keep it up!

I appreciate the fact that there's less talking and all we see is your genuine reactions. Awesome work.

Nice reaction through and through. Especially Kat getting really emotional and in touch what tragedy brings to people.

I only started this show over the weekend so I was looking forward to seeing your reactions to these episodes as I enjoyed the honesty and authenticity in your GoT reactions as they were pretty understated compared to most. This was a tough episode to watch and I can't imagine it will get any easier but the thing that stood out to me was the strength of character of the miners. Knowing what was being "asked" of them and for them to do what had to be done to potentially save millions was amazing. Same goes for the 3 men who volunteered to go down into the contaminated water. It really makes you wonder that if you were put in that same situation, what would you do?

The human drama. I keep coming back to the human drama that has been so superbly portrayed in this series. I have not watched award shows in years. But I just may this next time around in order to see how well Chernobyl does. Your reactions have been on point. So genuine.

Know how you feel, I also let a tear couple times during this episode. All the sacrifices willingly made make it all the more emotional. Can't wait for the rest from you! :)

It's the exactly the same with me. I recommended it to my family and they simply won't watch it, maybe because of not being interested or because they forget but it's why I also search for specific reactions on specific mediums. To talk about it.

You guys are amazing. One of the best react reaction channel I've seen. You deserve much more subscribers. Greetings from Brazil!

Really been enjoying your reactions, if you haven't already watched it I would recommend The Leftovers as a good show to watch/react to.

Holy crap, I have such a hard time watching this miniseries. I was in high school when this horrific event happened. I remember being so in shock and trying to reconcile this event in my brainmeat. It was just far too much to handle. Now, it just makes me so angry.

I really feel bad that I told you to watch episode three now... Although I cried my eyes out as well... You guys are awesome at this. I love you and I watched all your GoT reactions. 💕

@@KatSonny after watching this episode I took a break from work and go to outside because I needed some time to come to terms with what I had seen. But then it hit me. At the point where we see Ludmilla giving her husband the sunglasses so that the light will not affect his eyes and then the camera moves away, we see Vasilli lying on the bed with the sunglasses on. The remarkable thing is that I had seen almost identical photos (in black-and-white of course) of people who had been sick after being exposed too so much radiation. So I got intrigued and I looked for the book which the screen writer has used as a source of information for this story. It is called " Voices of Chernobyl" and in it exist the account of Ludmila Ignatenko. at some point she says that when she would leave the room to go get clean sheets for her husband, photographers would come in and they would take photos of him. She would then drive them away but the photos had been taken anyway. So I think that this shot was paying homage to these photographs. I swear it was almost the same. The thing is that since the photograph was black and white I couldn't really understand the depth of the damage but here ... I was actually shocked. Thank you so much for taking the time to react to Chernobyl. Despite the fact that some scenes are indeed hard to stomach I believe the show does justice to the people who suffered to save the world. I hope you will have a great day!!

Ha. Prepare now for Episode 4.

Another great vid! I too was heartbroken when I saw some of those scenes. Although, I did enjoy the "Russian machine designed to split an apple" joke. (I binge-watched the full series on the weekend - the next episode has some very difficult to watch scenes.) The final episode is where they pull everything together. - An excellent series!

You guys might be the only ppl to respond to Chernobyl. Must respect to you 4 that

Those three divers are unsung heroes of Chernobyl and whole world....two of those are still alive today one of them even works in industry and third died in 2004-5 of heart attack......I don't know what to say about these mini series,its just WOW......all of those firefighters,nuclear plant workers,doctors,nurses and first responders deserve a big THANK YOU from all of us,cuz they gave their lives and died in horrific pain to ensure a better life for generations to come....

There's this Exploring With Josh video about abandoned chernobyl last year where they went down the basement of pripyat hospital and the firemen suits are still there. His geiger counter (radioactivity measuring device) went nuts. It's still super radioactive to this day. And that was such a creepy basement.

What a wonderful channel! I found it four days ago and I’m loving it!

As the old adage goes, reality is stranger than fiction.

Kat, your reaction really moved me because it's true, sincere, and coming from your heart. You look tough but inside of you, there is a very sensitive woman. I've been watching the show on the same dates you watched it, but 428 miles away from Pripiat, in a country that suffered many of the consequences derivated from the nuclear cloud, where many buildings are still the same as Pripiat, and where many people still think in the same way the senior leaders of the Soviet administration, but at the same time, with many people with the courage and strength to do what needs to be done.

Great reaction guys, not over the top and respectful to the subject matter. 👍

I've been waiting to see your guys' reaction to this one

Heads up if you love animals Ep 4 is tougher than all GoT Direwolf death

You two are amazing! Just subbed.

This three divers really is heroes. They really safe Europe !

I love your gaze towards Kat during the last scene. Says a lot without words.

Agree with your thoughts..were so tiny...omg episode 4 left me numb for days...brace yourselves...yalls reactions are so awesome...human and genuine...what is is about this kind of art that compells us to watch despite it being mentally jarring?! Yes were all compelled now to watch...

Your reaction is priceless during the episode, compared to afterwards. Girl actually cried during the episode everytime Igantanko is mentioned. Like me. Love from India..❤️

I don’t know if you guys have seen it, but there is a series called The Terror, ostensibly a survival horror but it’s done with a similar level of intelligence and sophistication.

Yay! I've been waiting for this :D thanks for all you do guys

@2:30 One of the saddest things about acute radiation sickness is that at first you appear to be getting better, then you just fall apart. No pain killer will help, and anyone you touch will be contaminated. It's a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Excellent heartfelt reaction. Found the discussion about science and the ethics involved very powerful. Reminded me of the Expanse and the whole debate with Strickland, and what is the price to pay for understanding, and potentially saving multitudes. Speaking of which, you should really consider doing at least season 3 if both of you have seen 1 and 2. There is a large community of fans desperate for expanse stuff waiting until S4 drops later this year :)

"Did I doom these men?" The horrible part is; the fuel didn't even burn down through the concrete and into the ground/water. The miners took those risks for "nothing". Or so we know now. At that moment 40-50% was just way too high a risk. I find it so petrifying for everyone involved.

A risk worth it. That ground water getting exposed would've been just as bad or worse as the explosion the 3 tanks would've caused. Better safe than sorry.

The scientists estimated a 40 percent risk. They died because the risk was unacceptable.

The miner chief was one of my favourite characters. So much over the show we keep hearing the story that the russian state/party conceal things, dont tell the truth, etc. And here is a straight talking, no bullshit kind of character.

Great reaction channel guys! No needles comentaries, just pure emotion!! Wish you all the best and hey I'll be glad to watch your reactions on "Lucifer" anytime soon :)))

Don't forget the thing that humans caused the whole thing. Animals can't be evacuated. Tho, some of them ate less Gr than humans. They were sentenced to death immediately just to further protect humans. No chance on being hospitalized or taken care of. This doesn't take away any attention and weight from the tragic fates of many people. It's a cruel and dreadful job... even more terrible than being a biorobot on the roof. But it had to be done like everything else there. The difference: people had their chances and choices.

Jacob McMillan Scary as hell. Imagine treading heavily radioactive water while being in the dark, as the Geiger Counter goes off the charts.

I feel like I’ll be seeing the last shots of Vasily Ignatenko for the rest of my life Just like I’ll constantly be seeing the melting people from Barefoot Gen for the rest of my life Feeling so much pain for those that had to go through that, and also terrified that it could happen to me, the whole world Chernobyl’s fallout release was much worse than Hiroshima, but due to the realities of war, tens of thousands died of acute radiation sickness. A 15 kiloton bomb. What happens if some idiotic or suicidal leader goes ahead and does it, and starts a nuclear war? Hundreds or thousands of megaton-range weapons. And what does that mean? Hundreds of millions of Toptunovs. Hundreds of millions of Ignatenkos. That doesn’t even cover the horror of the severe flash burns, or the entire surviving world starving to death. Nuclear weapons literally weaponise the horrors seen in this episode. They are far, far worse than even the most dangerous nuclear reactors.
