Chernobyl dramatizes the story of the April 1986 nuclear plant disaster which occurred in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union, telling the stories of the people who caused the disaster and those who responded to it.[6] The series depicts some of the lesser-known stories of the disaster, including the efforts of the firefighters who were the first responders on the scene, volunteers, and teams of miners who dug a critical tunnel under Reactor 4.
The miniseries is based in large part on the recollections of Pripyat locals, as told by Belarusian Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich in her book Voices from Chernobyl.

I rather die by taking a shot for disobeying the order than by looking directly into THAT
Knowing that by looking at that "thing".. you just chose an extremely slow, gruesome and painful death..
If taking a shot is on the table you might as well have a peak at the Satan’s eye before you punch the clock.. why not
@@risraid9324 Like what Legasov said to the helicopter pilot: "You will ask for that bullet."
Would you also rather have your entire family shot or deported than looking into that thing?
Well you can always look into it, and than feel and taste the radiation and then you have enough time to shoot yourself.
At least you knew how radiation poisining feels
When he turned back...thats a man that knows he is already dead.
the second he agreed to look is when he was already dead
I would rather bite the bullet.
Yeah, off memory he didn't even survive a month afterwards.
I think everyone on site was a dead man walking from the incident. Some were lucky to go quickly.
Why did he look into tge reactor
As someone who went to college for nuclear engineering I can say with 1000% certainty if a dosimeter ever read out anything more than 0 at a nuclear reactor control room you have fucked up beyond all repair.
Are you still in nuclear engineering? How's the job prospects?
@@PikaPetey bad field hard to find a job
@@PikaPetey oof, animation not paying out like it used to, huh?
Well, the sad part is, it will read more, because of natural radiation all around us. :P
Depends on the dosimeter (Medical physicist here). You'd expect background radiation, especially if you're measuring accumulative dose
That soldier that forced him to look at the reactor probably died a week later.
No probably 5 days later.
@@prometheusvenom7189 how long till Sitnikov died?
@@Futterknight It depends on how much radiation he was exposed.
@@Futterknight May 30 1986
@@prometheusvenom7189 dude, by just standing there looking over the edge you recieve thousands of lethal doses a second, look how his face turns red instantly
He stared into the core. Death, stared back.
Well that's basically what it is, at this point
When you look deep into the abyss...
With a giant glowing radiated middle finger... yeesh.
@@Kamina.D.Fierce ssiuuuuu
gonna need less edge on that buddy
They also had the courage to scream against him,after he reported what he saw & already knew...madness!
And them cowards call themselves soldiers that's an outrage a scandal
HE WAS DELUSIONAL!
all three were on a death sentence already anyways
that's soviet school of management. still very popular.
@@chornobylreactor4 Soviet fell long ago
To me; 2:25 is the most horrifying scene of the entire series. When even the people sent there to rescue you are collapsing in front of your eyes, shit is fucked up way beyond control.
That moment is a text-book of "you already knew and screwed yet you kept on denying what happens"
@@risraid9324 Sometimes its just the fear of disaster
Kinda like the current state of the U.S.
RIP Firefighter Vasily Ignatenko
They knew what they were doing. They wanted him dead.
This scene absolutely broke my heart.
That's the whole point. And now you're one of the solar/wind-NPC:s right?
@@Gonken88 what a retarded NPC commment.
@@Gonken88 so you are one of the "i call everyone an npc" npc... how ironic...
@@peaveyst7 I really pissed you off here 😮
@@Gonken88 Follow your leader.
Just tell the guard: "Want to look over the edge? No? Neither do I. So let's just say I did and go back downstairs"
Hahaha same as my filipino style😂😂😅
they were both dead the moment they stepped out of the vehicle that drove them there
@@christopherhall5361 Not true - plenty of people on site that day survived, for a long while including Dyatlov - albeit he did die from bone marrow cancer 9 years later, at 64 years old, which obviously was almost certainly caused by the radiation dose he did receive that day on site. Depends on how long they were there and how close to the reactor they were. Honestly, 64 wasn't far off from the average life expectancy in the USSR then and literally 1/3rd of people will die from cancer, but anyway, some people survived longer.
@@JET7C0 Dyatlov died in 1995
@@krajt1999 Right, thanks. I just edited - I think I had it in my head that the Chernobyl disaster was in '88 instead of '86 or something, but the point is, tons of people who were on site when the core exploded, and got significant radiation exposure survived, sometimes for quite a while. Some are still alive.
The immense Fear you can see in his eyes is incredible, as if he was really standing infront of an explodet reactor. Such great acting!
Is this a joke or
@@grzyb11 no it’s the truth😅
I wonder where/how they shot this scene. Obviously not over an exposed nuclear Reactor, but what I mean is... What do you think they actually had him looking at for the reaction? A green screen or a set?
@@Kamina.D.Fierce I am pretty sure they shot the series in an actual nuclear power plant that’s similar to Chernobyl in Lithuania
More like realisation that he is probably dead from all that radiation.
This has to be one of the most horrifying series/movie that I’ve ever seen. The exposed reactor was easily the most horrifying movie monster in recent memory.
And it was real and still exist now
I remember as a teenager going to school and was immediately informed by a teacher of this nuclear accident. It was just unreal.
True. I can’t imagine something like this happening irl. Adds more to the horror when it’s something actually plausible and not some alien monster or demon
it was literally a gateway to Hell, with humans forcing other humans to LOOK AT IT, obviously meaning DEATH; realist horror.
I completely agree. The scariest, most horrifying films and series are those, not based on fiction, but real life.
if a dude in a suit tells me i'm going to be fine and a dude in a uniform escorts me out of the room then i know i'm dead
I would say you go because you said it
That soldier got rad blasted too
Never once the show tries to depict radiation in it’s molecular level form to help explain to the viewer but instead uses the horrific effects of radiation poisoning to the human tissue in such a masterful way in making the viewer feel scared of something they can’t even understand or put a face to the threat.
What are you proposing? If you were near that exposed core you would end up just like the other first responders regardless of whether you think this level of radiation is scary or not.
@@imirish4702 what are you on about? Did the post really went over your head that high? It wasn’t suggesting or proposing anything I just appreciate how the whole premise of the show revolves around essentially a invisible disaster.
@@xKarma_411sorry.. some people take safety a lot more seriously than others. Do you agree that level of exposure would have taken you out just like the other first responders and the engineers near the core itself?
@@imirish4702what does that have to do with their comment? All they’re saying is that the series managed to make something invisible into something that terrifies the audience.
@@Cybermat47well yeah not being afraid of a deadly dose of radiation doesn’t make you immune to it. I’m all for nuclear power though if it can be operated safely.
I would have straight refused to do it. Better be shot or put in jail than living through the pain of decaying alive.
Soviet Russia didn’t have a very nice jail system, especially for party traitors like they would have called him.
@@greganderson6371 So you would prefer a short but immensely painful radiation death?
@@arminxvs3372 no, bullet.
during Stalin's days, his family would be in danger as well. thats what he was probably afraid of.
@@DH-bt4kj you misunderstand what im trying to say.
The whole series made you feel how an exposed nuclear reactor is the closest thing to a portal straight to the deepest pits of hell that humanity will ever see
Yeah cuz it is
In hell there’s no radiation only fire, God said it
@@EdithTorres-2210 the heat given off by fire is a from of radiation ya dingus
@@EdithTorres-2210the pope said there is nothing down there, didn’t you read the patch notes ?
@@RuneVolpe i didn’t know he went down there to see if there was fire, he’s human and he’s saying what he understands about God’s word, but there’s definitely fire, because the fire in the human body is the most painfully feeling in the world, radiation at the moment maybe you won’t feel it, but fire you will feel it immediately
2:25 is the scariest part of the series, the firefighters collapse in front of him when they should be helping him, not needing to be helped.
If it makes anybody feel better Anatoly volunteered to go to the roof but no evidence he actually made it up there. Instead he was helping pump water in the core with Akimov and Toptunov.
If it makes anyone feel better these are actors and didn't actually die.
@@carclain123 If it makes anyone feel better, this is an adaptation of the real thing, and was made to commemorate the lives lost in this whole ordeal
They even made up one dude to represent the whole group that disagreed with the Soviet Union's official claims that downplayed the incident
@@ItsChevnotJeff not dude but the scientist woman
@@ItsChevnotJeff Absolutely staggering to me how much these people talk about things that are only in the show and didn't happen in real life. Craig Mazin did an amazing job but you can only put so much into 6 hours or so.
@@carclain123 50 people did died from radiation exposure from this accident and an entire town had to be evacuated.
I would've taken the firing squad thank you very much, no freaking way I'd look into the core, ever
They wouldn't have shot him for not going, he most likely wouldn't even have to face any kind of repercussion for it. However if I had to choose between a firing squad and (pointlessly) dying from ARS, I most definitely would have chosen the former as well.
Almost anything is better than death by radiation. Firing squad is actually a reasonably good way to go, certainly next to radiation poisoning.
@Hamoudi Yeah they would have labeled him as a traitor to the Country, and he would have been executed no doubt.
I mean I probably would look into the core if I was forced then kill myself
@Hamoudi yeah, if fuckin stalin was in charge. But it wasn’t, it was Gorbachev. Most light-handed of all of them
This is just unfair. He lived the disaster and would’ve been able to tell the tale. And then they just straight up killed him. They did him dirty
It’s his fault thus all happened
@@Luis-kb8ko no
@@Luis-kb8ko its not
In real life, he wasn't even at the plant when the explosion happened. He was the head engineer for Units 1 & 2, and went to the plant after the accident. He was asked by the director to inspect the buildings around Units 3 & 4 which he willingly did, later telling his wife that he had to do it because he knew the plant better than anyone else and the lives of everyone in Ukraine and Europe were at stake.
Eliminating witnesses. Every country does this to cover up their crimes
IE: Oswald after he killed JFK I bet you don't even know the name of the guy who killed Oswald. And that's the way they want you to remember.
His body wasn't shown in the hospital scenes but it was said that he had no face anymore
Who
That was Akimov they were talking about, one of the two guys that went down to to turn the valves for hours. Pointless endeavor.
@@doutorJalinrabey That second spent looking at the core was enough to deliver a fatal dose of ionizing radiation. Just because the prompt criticality event has passed doesn't mean that fuel isn't still burning and pumping out enough radiation to kill everything nearby. His corpse would likely have been made radioactive as well due to neutron activation. He would have to be buried in a lead casket covered in feet of concrete.
@@doutorJalinrabey do you know what radiation does to the human body?
@@doutorJalinrabey they explain it in the series, the radiation destroys your cells and makes your body decay
Poor man. He absolutely knew he was doomed.
Indeed. Recall how later on they sent men in full gear up to the roof a max 90 seconds at a time. This guy and the soldier escorting him went up there completely exposed and just took their time. Both were already dead going up there, but only one truly understood in this moment.
Much worse
He doomed thousands with his arrogance and desire to meet the Communist Party goals and deadlines no matter the risks
He failed as a leader, as a scientist, and as a human
Is that marsha?
I think that was the 2000 roof the soldier might life for a year
this scene is just bone chilling
the way the audio starts crackling when he gets to the roof and how the geiger counter noise just slowly starts rising
and the way he turns around and his face is already discolored
and how his jaw was quivering and his eyes were watering when they were yelling at him
he was damn near close to crying
jesus fucking christ
Please do not use the Lord’s name like that 🙏🏻

Stop it. The bible was written in the Bronze Age.
exactly, great analysis! at the moment when he turns back to us, the whole audio is distorted, amazing producing, direction and editing!
This scene is made even more poignant by the uncanny speed of the billowing smoke coming out of the reactor. Your eye registers it as unnaturally fast 'Smoke can never be that fast in a normal fire' - it continues to register in your brain that something is uncomfortable and wrong about that billowing smoke.
When it's that hot and that large - graphite burns very, very well - there will be an awful lot of entrained air that's sucked in at the sides and helps loft the smoke. It would have been much hotter down there than some ordinary wood fire.
smoke filled with highly radioactive fission products
2:46 Dyatlov questioning reality: "How do you get that much smoke from feedwater leaking?"
The moment when you realize that even the guard at the door absorbed a deadly dose of Rads.
Actually there was no guard
Yeah bunch of stupids in charge
anyone within a stones throw of that building was pretty much fucked
1:07
I’m guessing that guard would’ve died within the span of 2-7 months maybe a year
Fomin killed him to save his own ass..
Fomin was found guilty of criminal mismanagement in 1988 and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He is still alive now
@@yassinee.3463 are you serious?!
@@DarkSideGaming547 Not to mention after he was released, he went back to work in a Nuclear Powerplant in Leningrad
Fomin just served 3 years, liberated in 1990 and tried to kill himself before the trial, cutting his wrists with the broken shards of his glasses.
@@monofnk6581 “Liberated?” don’t you mean ‘finished his sentence?’
The sheer resignation on his face the whole time really hits me. He knows exactly what's going to happen to him the moment they tell him to go up there, but he doesn't plead or beg, just marches to his death. In real life, they didn't even need the guard escorting him. People were trained their whole lives to passively follow orders, even if they knew they would only end in disaster.
Rather take a bullet honestly.
You realize most of this is embellished right? The irl part you talk about should not be derived from an American made TV series
@@jaalaj6610 Embellished? A miniseries known for its historical accuracy?
Like US soldiers walking to arrest Julian Assange, the only thing that can regulate their assaults on civilians and turn the disaster to themselves. They don't even have the fear of losing score in the drone stike games.
@@Max1996YTFar from historically accurate. In reality Dyatlov’s character alone was immensely embellished. In real life, Dyatlov was reported to have actually been cautious, caring, and downright concerned for the people around him during the incident. He became Chernobyl’s biggest scapegoat, and the miniseries drug is name through the dirt. Do some research into the lives of some these people and the dramatization becomes clear as day. So yes, embellished.
- How much radiation have you been exposed to ?
- Yes.
I’d imagine this is what it’s like looking into the depths of hell. Just something so vastly horrific and destructive both in body and soul, you know you’re doomed. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
God made horrors beyond our comprehension
this man literally looked into the eyes of death
imagine looking into a reactor core blown open that moment that you know your a dead man and there's nothing and no one that can save you now that's a hard pill to swallow a very hard pill to swallow
God made horrors beyond our comprehension
My God, what a horrifying scene.
I wouldn't have done it, that man has much more guts than I would have had. I would have told them to do it themselves. They are a bunch of cowards and should have been made to go look at the core too. That man didn't deserve such a cruel fate but they do for making him do that.
Imagine what they would do to him if he had refused. That in his mind would surely be a worse fate. The soviet era was a terrifying era
@@jeppeniller1106 There is literally no fate worse than death from radiation poisoning
@@jamesbutler8821 yeah im not gonna argue with that one
@@jeppeniller1106 Honestly just put me out of my misery once people want me to look into an open core and die from radiation. Probably one of the worst, or even the worst way to die.
So glad I don’t have to work with radiation lol
@@jeppeniller1106 Soviet gulags were a worse fate. Imagine radiation poisoning but you never die, and all the pain and torture of the soul is inflicted willfully and eagerly by humans.
Just that pull back, slowly showing the billowing black cloud just rushing out the reactor.
Like most others....I was riveted by this series. Was a senior in high school when it happened but as we all know the Soviets were up to their old antics and lied as much as possible so we outside of the iron curtain really didn't know about the extent of this incident until years after. Really scary to see the way firemen first on scene suffered such radiation dose that they ended up turning into jelly (for a lack of better words) basically before expiring.
It kinda reminds me how our own government in the US is covering up the chemical spill in East Palastine, OH. The US up to their own antics and lying as much as possible.
ALL governments lie.
Felt like watching this again after three years. Sublime.
*1:45** Sitnikov watched his death.*
02:00: the expression of his face is like: ok, you have killed me now. Are you satisfied?
The part after he looks back goosebumps. So powerful in a fearful way
You can see his face starting to show signs of burning seconds after he turned around!
Bro that solider must’ve lasted like 3 weeks at best after this being true
I just realized; that's the roof that the "biorobots" had to out onto to clear out later in the show, isn't it? The same roof that was so irradiated that noone, even in a full rad suit, was allowed to spend any more than 90 seconds on it? And, this was right after the explosion, the point when the radiation was at its absolute strongest.
So.... without any protective gear, both Sitnikov and the solider escorting him were probably already dead within... I dunno... maybe 20 seconds of them entering it, regardless if they were to look directly at the core or not.
In real life Sitnikov died about a month later, and there wasn't a soldier escorting him... he did it willingly at the request of the director, later telling his wife he had to do it because he knew the plant better than anyone else (he had helped in the construction). He inspected the buildings around Units 3 & 4, but there is no actual report or evidence that he was on the roof. Regardless, he got a lethal dose and suffered a horrible death along with many others.
@@TheErockaustinHe died 4 days after that
@@mariacarlota4440 He died May 30th 1986, stop spreading misinformation please. If you don't know how to gather first hand info, condolences, but don't resort to bs.

@@metroid-samus There is no movie because you didn't see it.
@@sebcharb7313 its a mini series not a movie.
So a movie chopped up into little bits - still a movie.
The scene that scared me is that when Sitnikov went to the reactor he looked back at the soldiers while his face immediately turned red..
The horror captured in this entire show was chilling. This unnatural force spills up as if from hell. It then spreads unseen and all encompassing, indiscriminately destroying everything - *everything* - it can touch.
The young soldier who took him up to the roof was only following instructions, but holy dang! They were lethal instructions.
A chilling detail at 0:29: the plant worker's eyes briefly dart away from the boss, to the soldier. He knows he has no choice. He must go to the roof, or else ...
The fact that he still did what they told and reported back what he saw and then STILL GOT YELLED AT…
He looked inside of hell.
Hell looked back at him.
Ooohh. Deep....
*This series had me glued to the seat and increased my interest for this horrific human tragedy*
The face turning red that fast... you know you're as good as dead...
The people who were in charge of the reactor should have been sentenced to just one week imprisonment. Right next to the totally not exposed reactor they were so sure about.
This series has the best background music/sound effects ever, it fits it so perfectly and captures the horror and creepiness of nuclear disasters.
Fun fact: The soundtrack was entirely recorded in a nuclear power plant. Y'know, an RBMK nuclear power plant. It's just noises of machinery and white noises, but when I learned that I......holy shit
@@emilys.6610 yes!! I read that too!! I love that it’s from real sounds.
@@emilys.6610DAMN how did they edit those noises so well lmao
The security guard dies. His picture is held up at the concrete burial scene. I couldn't find any matches for who he is, however. My guess is, the guy being attended by the nurse, bleeding from his face, is Klavdia Luzganova.
it's beyond tragic. Sitnikov was sentenced to death for nothing.
respect for the code lyoko pfp
HBO doesn’t give this man a break. First stabbed by jaime lannister through the eye and then a slow, painful radioactive death
This is my favorite show by far... simply outstanding from beginning to end.
Gotta love how Fomin is implied to be yelling at a guy who just stared into hell and telling what he’s saying isn’t true.
That subtle static/fizzling of the radiation adds so much to the horrific atmosphere.
The fact that all of the guards look in their early 20s and the one who forced him to look in the reactor probably died at a very young age
R.I.P. Paul Ritter aka Anatoly Dyatolov
Nicely done Apex!! I subscribed and liked....
I love that you can hear the giger counter practically screeching the closer the camera gets to Sitnikov.
212,000 roentgen, not great but not terrible.
"We don't believe you that the core exploded! For some reason we'll believe you if you go up by yourself and look."
*goes up and looks, comes back with severe radiation burns*
"We still don't believe you!"
considering how irradiated that roof is even the guard is dead
His face turned red as he new he was going to die
I also think that was the radiation burning his face. Scary stuff…
@@nacey-movies Correct
Yeah he was so embarrassed
I like any time there’s extreme radiation, the music sounds like a geiger counter
this has a very weird color shift compared to the original, intentional or obs malfunction?
video probs got downgraded when it was exported
Yea i have the same my whole screens colour changed
This is an AWESOME series. Loved the acting and was almost 100% factual as to what happened.
Just now watching this for the first time. Crazy intense from the get go.
Few episodes later “Akimov doesn’t have a face”
The truth of what happened is arguably even worse. Sitnikov didn't need any convincing to go up to the roof. In reality, he readily accepted Fomin's request - so unwaveringly confident in the propaganda that a disaster such as what happened could never occur in the Soviet Union. He was as much a victim of the Soviet state's propganda machine as he was of the radiation itself. RIP.
2:48 amazing view!
Such a good series dude.
This escene is just amazing, when they finally accepted the reality by seeing it by themselves
Americans at 3 mile: We can’t have any employees anywhere near this place for their own safety!
Soviets at Chernobyl: *Get On The Roof*
Except the reactors at Three Mile Island:
1. Had containment units specifically because a steam explosion, while highly unlikely, was very much possible
2. Did not use graphite as a moderator; they used water, as do all BWRs and all other PWRs. In a light water reactor like the ones at Three Mile Island, water is used as both a moderator and a coolant.
So the Soviets were taking lessons from Walmart....
Thanks supervisor!!
“You’ll be fine you’ll see”. Haunting knowing the outcome
First Jaimie Lannister shoved a dagger through his eye. Now this.
He's like Sean Bean, almost everything he stars in he dies in 😂
Ironically the guy who caused all of this lived. I forget how many lifetimes of radiation he got at Chernobyl and apparently Chernobyl was the second time he came into contact with a very high dose of radiation.
the moment both of them stepped out on that roof they were dead even without looking over the edge. sitnikov most likely knew before, so he continued anyway.
The mournful, broken-sounding music, the otherwise calm ruins, and then the incredibly rapid billowing of smoke.
I love how, unlike how one may expect from the general setting and sound design (relative to other media), the smoke isn't calmly rising in its silence but is instead rapidly filling the sky.
To personify inanimate indifference, it's as though the reactor's sole focus was on poisoning the world. Not being a spectacle, not being scary, just plumes pure withering decay.
Sitnikov probably died very soon after this. Going up the roof right next to what we know to be Masha, where people fully clad in protective suits couldn’t remain for more than two minutes if they didn’t want to die in as many months… it’s horrifying to contemplate.
before he died, his face dissolved, if one can believe the eyewitness accounts
He looked into the yawning gates of Hell, and they berated him.
Unbelievable.
He should have told the guard what would happen to them both if the door was opened and to just say they went up there and report back what he already knew was the case up there.
2:27 that one guy that was holding the stretcher : Ima take a nap *some seconds later* literally dies from radiation
Was this part of the roof they were on, Masha? the most dangerous place on earth Scherbina was talking about?
Yes, same place where the “biorobots” are later seen shoving debris into the core.
I just don't understand why would they obey such nonsense! They know they would die in agony so the bullet for not obeying an order would be mercy.
The shot with Sitnikov approaching the breach and peering down into the reactor, black smoke billowing from the core completely dwarfing his silhouette is absolutely hair-raising.
Chernobyl is probably the closest thing to Hell on Earth that has ever occurred
The core be like - I need more fuel . To continue fission.
The Firefighters collapsing just broke my heart
I’m genuinely surprised he didn’t just ask for the bullet. Unless he did it to take the soldiers with him to the grave out of spite.
What’s the soundtrack called? Can’t find it in the OST on Spotify
hildur guðnadóttir: Evacuation.
@@MrHidayatSyariv No, it is not the same.
If Fomin and Brukyanov was so sure that the reactor was intact, why they didn't gave a look by themselves on it? Even just going in front of the building, still remaining in the car, was sufficient to see that the reactor had blown up.
Poor bastard. It's basically a death sentence.
The behavior of so many of these apparatchiks after they signed his death warrant is just infuriating. The guy's face is literally peeling off as he's sitting there knowing he's gonna die and they're still trying to f*cking argue with him about what's real.
What do you mean the reactor burning is over there we are here
*famous last words*
I would have at least told the soldier that if we go anywhere near that roof, we'll both be dead in a few days/weeks. Maybe the fear of dying horribly and needlessly might sway his loyalty to the Party.
