In this story full of incompetence, delusion and arrogance, the only inspiring element is the heroism of the men and women who fought to overcome the disaster. Firefighters, electricians, doctors and nurses all rushed to the scene without any protective gear and sacrificed themselves to radiation so intense that in some cases they returned brown, the colour they used to call ‘nuclear tan’, and were incapable of further action.
‘Counting lives’ was the jargon of bureaucrats of the Soviet Union. Coldly and accurately calculating how many men could expect to die completing a specific task. The mathematics was as simple as the task was hard. The lives of three men weighed against those of hundred of thousands, if not millions of men, women and children. ‘Panic is worse than radiation’, Alexander Akimov said.
Over the previous days Soviet military helicopters had been flying over the exposed reactor, whose roof had been blown off so it resembled a half-shut eye, one whose pupil glowed blue and was emitting devastating doses of radiation. Beneath them was the graphite ‘moderator’, 2500 tonnes of radioactive carbon, which was ablaze and if unchecked would burn for the next three months, sending more radioactive material into the atmosphere with each passing hour. The damaged reactor was sinking and burning through it’s strengthened floor and was in danger of collapsing below into rooms flooded with water. This would then trigger another nuclear explosion that, so Soviet physicists calculated, would vaporize the fuel in the other three reactors, level 200 square kilometres, destroy Kiev, contaminate the water supply used by 30 million people and render Northern Ukraine uninhabitable for more than century.
This major and significant task had three volunteers, also called ‘Chernobyl Divers’. These three men were required to suit up in scuba-gear and swim through the flooded chambers of the basement to the gate valve, twisting it open to allow the trapped water to drain out. It was called a ‘suicide mission’ as radiation was at lethal levels.
By the sixth day, when the Soviet authorities required three men to step forward, all were aware of the risk. According to Grigori Medvedev, author of The Truth About Chernobyl, a group of soldiers were briefed on the stakes if the valves were not turned, the water not drained. There was also a degree of bribery. While they were unlikely to survive, their families would be richly rewarded.
Three men volunteered: Alexei Ananenko, an engineer who knew the location of the valves, Valeri Bezpalov as a colleague, also employed at the power plant and Boris Baranov, who never descended into the water, was a soldier of the Soviet army, whose mission was to light their way underwater. The trio suited up and entered the radioactive waters of the flooded chamber. However, Baranov’s lamp failed and so Ananenko and Bezpalov were forced to find their way by touch and by following a main pipe.
All three returned to ground level suffering severe radiation poisoning, but were pleased to see their colleagues jump with joy at the news that the valves were now open. Over the next day 20,000 tonnes of radioactive water was pumped out and a subsequent report revealed that if this had not been done, a thermal explosion would have taken place. Having been exposed to lethal doses of radiation 15 Sv (15,000 roentgen), all survived. The first one of the three divers died of a heart attack in 2005, others are still alive, one even working still in the industry.
Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov and Boris Baranov. These three men saved most of Europe from becoming a radioactive wasteland.

Skvelé, prepracované video, človeka až mrazí.. Klobúk dolu pred Vami, muselo to dať veľa práce natočiť a zostrihať, máte môj obdiv!
Lenka Baricova ďakujem, áno natáčanie bolo náročné ale už ten strih šiel akosi sám. Mal som to vopred premyslene, aj hudbu vybratú a to sa potom dobre striha :)
Super video, těším se na další! :-) Muselo s tím být strašně moc práce!
Tomáš Ptáček diky, najväčšia makačka bola to natáčanie... už ten strih šiel sám :)
Such bravery, beautifully produced 👌
Super 👍👍👍
Impressive movie, Tomáš - thank you for captured memories and sensitive message!
Matus Morong thanks, btw that your shot is one of my favorite :)
@@TomasGolej just hire me anytime for future shots :)
All around fantastic video!
Josh Bolt thank you Josh
Úžasné zábery, s tou hudbou to dodáva veľký efekt a oceňujem aj efekty vŕzgania, detského smiechu, a ďalšie k predmetom, ktoré v nás tieto zvuky vyvolajú. Skvelá práca! :)
Ďakujem, na sound designe si dávam záležať, väčšinou si nahravam zvuky na mieste ale ako na potvoru ta 35 ročná hrdzava hojdačka nevrzgala 🙈
@@TomasGolej Je to veľmi vidieť, super 😊 Haha, zákon schválnosti 😄
Zimomriavky všade. Tlieskam za odvahu, no i za spracovanie tohto videa.
Najlepsie spracovane, wow
MaYo Beňo dakujem :)
Nebejt nich tak Evropa A Skandinávie je několik jet neobyvatelná... Borci a děkuji....
Dom jj tak je. Aj keď určite nechcem minimalizovať zásluhy ostatných...hasičov, vedcov, likvidátorov.
@@TomasGolej ano v tomhle máš pravdu ale holt prostě USSR to celý pooazil...ale ta realita je už známá a důvody co kdyby to řekli dřív atd... Je už také známo
Ked to takto vidim vsetko pokope, tak mam zimomriavky este horsie ako v Cernobyle
Martin Danis to som veľmi rad, som na tom podobne. Myslím že tam nebol taký priestor vstrebávať atmosféru, ale pretaviť ju do videa nebolo náročné.
