me explaining to everyone why chernobyl is a masterpiece and deserves all the awards
everyone else
Legasov was a rather zealous member of the party. he was considered a real Soviet, and a loyalist, somebody that you could count on to just toe the party line. this was a pretty avid Communist. his father was not just a Soviet true believer, he was more almost like one of the inquisitors, somebody whose job was basically to make sure that you were Soviet enough. that’s the environment that Legasov grew up in. […] the dissemination of his tape memoirs essentially gave everybody the courage to stand up and starting talking about this, but only in combination with his suicide. that it was his suicide that was just not possible to ignore. somebody like Legasov should not commit suicide in the Soviet Union. and that statement was not something you could repress. […] in his memoirs, he speaks quite clearly about the need for reform in the scientific community, and by extension, the people that control the scientific community. and so, following that, there are increased efforts for transparency within the community, and the RBMK reactors do undergo procedures to reduce the possibility of something like Chernobyl happening again. a lot of new rules are put into place. essentially, a lot of rules that you would have thought wouldn’t need to be there, are now there. —craig mazin

For all the people who are dismissing the first episode of Chernobyl because it's too unrealistic and dumb, go and listen to the Chernobyl podcast.
Craig Mazin explains all the events that happened in the first episode and the podcast delves into the accuracy of all the events portrayed in the episode. It's a really great mini series and very relevant in our time when our entire planet is fighting this invisible war of bringing the truth to the surface. The series is a stunning, detailed and emotional retelling of a horrific event that most of us chose to ignore blissfully and has shaped modern history. It reminds us, how humanity is our worst night mare and best hope.
I want to know what happened here 😭
How does the series differ from the book?
