"You were the one that mattered most."
That scene just cuts like a knife.
It really does. So well done.
Boris actually lived 4 years instead of 1 and he helped in the 1988 Armenian earthquake before dying in 1990. He proposed the invitation of international rescuers with thermal vision and dogs to help locate survivors. It sounds like he helped a lot before he died, he and Legasov and so many others were heroes as far as i'm concerned. That Talk between Boris and Legasov was brillant.
schapman235 yes! He made a huge difference!
I think the talk between them was my favorite scene in the whole show tbh
Omg, first time in my life i hear someone talking about the armenian earthquake in the 1988 (i am half armenian, and a lot of my relatives died bc of that earthquake) thank for giving me this information about boris
pretty sure legasov shown Boris what really matters in life not just politic points
Am proud that I have the same surname.
Remember in the earlier episode, where Legasov says to Shcherbina 'yes we are staying, and we will be dead in 5 years' Tragically, he was right
Vichnaya Pamyat - it means Eternal Memory.
(corrected)
Thank you, comrade.
Tnx comrade Komandorov hahahaha
Everlasting - is more accurate
@@dariosepulveda4445 Haha lol :D

If I look back on this series, TWO things stood out as positives...
1. The miners' leader. That's how a boss should be.
2. That the 3 heroes who went down into that water actually survived for a lifetime. That was happy tears.
@Jeremy Brookes A-and there is another nuclear disaster happening right now in Severodvinsk. Russian government under Putin went fully Soviet style denying truth. What would you expect from ex-KGB officer?
@Jeremy Brookes Check this out:
www.cnbc.com/2019/09/11/russian-nuclear-missile-with-unlimited-range-to-be-ready-by-2025-us-intel.html?&qsearchterm=skyfall
The crash of this missile caused radioactive contamination of the area around. Nearest radioactive monitoring stations have been shut down after the explosion and not giving any information about the levels of radiation in the air. This shit is crazy. As if nothing changed in 30 years.
The Russian general going into the tank himself and of course the bravery of Valerey
I love the line “every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.”
I agree, very profound. I fear we in the west have incurred a very great debt that must one day be paid in full.
@@toddcytra Much of the world is literally burning, and this is the least combustible fire season you will see in your lifetime. We've already seen the first climate war in South Sudan, and possibly even before that. The debt is already overdue, and the payments are being extracted from those least responsible for it and least able to afford it. And still, we lie.
Why are you still supporting Trump then? And his lackeys on social media. You dont care about the truth.
AND THAT DEBT AGAIN IS ABOUT TO BE PAID I FEAR... :(
@@toddcytra east and west are both no strangers to the truth. Whether it's the modern US or the Chinese or even Japenese or Russian. Most all big countries tend to tell a lot of lies to protect their image and to keep control of the people. In the theme of Chernobyl, Fukushima in Japan is making headlines lately but what's interesting is all the coverup going on there. The guided tours ban you from bringing personal dossimeters along the last part of the tour (in which they even bother to give a speech) meanwhile radiation levels are over 100x higher in the tour that right outside the tomb of the elephant's foot in Chernobyl, which is a testament to how well this has been taken care of... now. Too bad it cost so many lives due to so many lies. Lies cost lives.
"That is how an RBMK Reactor Core explodes... Lies." Now that is a wham line.
Especially when he got a "How does an RBMK reactor explode?" from Fomin as a way to discredit him
@@Mr.Sparks.173 And when he was asked that he knew the answer..
@@Vahisofficial not entirely. He knew that AZ-5 could trigger a brief power spike, but he didnt realize that if you had a power spike at the wrong time, under certain conditions, it could cause an explosion. It was only after Khomyuk mentioned that info about AZ-5 and the positive void coefficient was censored, along with all the rest of the reactor's conditions at the time of the disaster did all the puzzle pieces fall into place.
And even though we have seen this now, we are still lied to now, we are still not told the existing ongoing damage still happening.
I was born with a septal defect, during the summer of 86, in Hungary, one of the many newborns who had the same issues around that time. I was four when they finally had to repair my heart, with the help of surgeons from Germany. It was forbidden to mention Chernobyl as a cause of this defect, right 'till 91, when the last soviet troops left the country. Even i had no idea of the extent of the corruption and lies. Breaks my already somewhat broken, and stiched up heart.
How are you doing now?
"To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for truth we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it."
The same thing is also happening in our present times. I think this is the reason the series resonated with people so much, because it's not only a thing of the past but also a warning for the future.
That was my favourite line in all of the series
@@strateg4play - Mine too, from.Climate Change deniers to Anti-Vaxxers, the lesson of Chernobyl is clear, it is the lies of science and truth deniers, that will kill us.
If that doesn't ring true even today in this current attack science climate..
I don't know what does!!
That's so true considering today's climate change denial
Spot on.
My father is the liquidator of this accident. I could not persuade him to watch this series. Thank you for your reaction.
So sorry your father went through that. To your father: Thank you and God bless you from USA.

I’m Russian, my friend’s grandpa worked with Legasov before the incident.
Thank you for your reactions. It’s incredible how HBO made this masterpiece of a series, but not us. It’s heartwarming to see foreigners truly feeling every aspect of this tragedy, which has affected us so much, even tho our government tried to hide it (as always)
Спасибо вам.

I too cried a lot when I read that... I just couldn't help it.
@Akin Khoo There is an interview where she stated that she was with him that long.
But they are both sick.
She also didn’t agree to her family’s story being told and when this came out the media tracked her down and harassed her so she had to move to the country

Command: 🖐

After managing Chernobyl accident, Boris Shcherbina made an another great job in 1988 Spitak Earthquake in Soviet Armenia. Probably he was the best canditate to handle problems after this, in Soviet Union.
As far as the central government was concerned, this was true, so long as it was a natural disaster.
The 23 people that disliked are in shock, get them out of here
They have been exposed to the feedwater...
I have seen worse.
YOU DIDNT DISLIKE IT!!! Because the dislike is not there!

Its not great, its terrific!
I live in Ukraine and am very grateful to the director of this film for the work he did to make such a masterpiece. I am very grateful to your channel for what you see and understand what a catastrophe happened on our land. And you mourn the dead of Chernobyl with our people. My uncle was a liquidator in Chernobyl, and he is no longer alive.
Eternal memory and respect for your uncle!

@@Wassabee Thank you very much
@@2naturalist дякую Вам
Thank your uncle for his service to humanity!
A small fun fact about the part where Legasov drops the blue plate in his presentation, that was actually an unscripted accident but they decided to let it stay in the episode because it worked so well. Also the soldier moving the microphone closer was improvised on the go!
SuomenPaska Interesting! I really liked that part - it made the show come alive, as if we saw the actual trial.
It was good too it was very well told
And Boris Shcherbina's caterpillar was also not scripted.
the most bizarre thing is that....... THIS ACTUALLY HAPPEN NOT LONG TIME AGO.
There was another incident in the in the Soviet union that contaminated a lake and a town too it was after ww 2
@@darenyoung1872 Семипалатинск.

I don’t think that’s bizarre at all. What’s bizarre is that the Russian people still trust their government, despite knowingly causing all of this death and suffering.
Thank you.
And the eternal memory for heroes of Chernobyl.

Shcherbina says that he is an inconsequential man. But Legasov is right about him when he's trying to comfort his friend. Just two years after Chernobyl there will be an earthquake in Armenia that kills 50,000 people and Scherbina oversees the relief effort. He may have been inconsequential in his youth, but he made up for it with his noble deeds in the last few years of his life.
This is a show that I never want to see again, but also a show that I will never forget.....
Never Forget...
yeah... same here!
I've already watched it three times, the second time to show it to my GF, the third to my parents, and each time was... painful, indeed, but at the same time wonderful. The story is tragic, but the series is waaaaay too good to be watched only once. ^^
@@SCharlesDennicon same. Second time re-watch after reading all the wiki, then with my sister, then to the whole family during eid night.
Still, it’s a fast food - much more interesting events took place in USSR,etc. I know greatest show- drama, unfortunately lol
@@llothar68 I meant life lol. Yeah, this is modern Russia/Ukraine. Unprecedented crime war, bandits in the authority.."Narcos" are just boys
Thank you chernoby's Heroes.
your sacrifice and bravery never be forget.
Much respect from Brazil.
and Kat and Sonny,great rection from you guys.
There was an interview with Alexei Ananenko, one of the 3 divers, on Ukrainian TV yesterday, he is still alive and kicking ;) He is actually surprised that the world-wide fame suddenly hit him.
Loved the caterpillar scene, I think it shows a parallelism between Boris and the caterpillar: like an alive caterpillar is a rarity in the middle of an enourmosly polluted area, good men like Boris were alone in the corrupted soviet bureaucracy, but Boris has won this struggle, surviving.
You guys seem like two well hearted people. Crying at things just shows how genuinely good you guys are as humans.
What is the cost of lies?
It's not that we will mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.
This statement was true back then. And it is still true today. It is the most important lesson that we should learn from Chernobyl.
Best scene in this episode was when Boris was told he was the most important man
"They mistakenly sent the one good man." True for Legasov himself, as well.
The song gives me chills every time I hear it..it’s a song they sing at funerals here in Ukraine..
Both Legasov and Boris were heroes to humanity. I found Legasov's statement so compelling, and powerful . I know he knew he was going to die, but still I think he must have thought he would be immediately shot for telling the truth. Also the KGB tend to go after your family as well.
The scene between Legaslov and Boris was also so deeply moving. They first met on opposite sides, and yet in the end became close friends. There is a saying from Game ofThrones that you find your true friends on the Battlefield. Well, we should also add, or when you are staring into the abyss of an open nuclear reactor. Together, they saved so many lives.
It's also frightening to think how close the world came to a catastrophe where a whole continent could have become lifeless. If those brave men had not been able to open the water drain valves, it would have been the end for millions of lives.
We should be erecting statues to honour them all.
Thank you for you reaction to full season! You are gerat, guys! Hello from Ukraine)
А будет второй сезон?
@@andrew2k2 да это так слухи расплескали издания, а так видно что режиссёры поставили точку
I watched probably 10 different channels reacting to the show, and your reactions are the first one I watched more then one episode of. You do a great job. Keep up the good work.
Greetings from Lithuania, place where they filmed most of the scenes.
Hello from Ukraine) I watched various foreign reactions to this series, but only here I saw impressions similar to mine. As a Ukrainian, I am pleased to know that this tragedy has touched your hearts too.
Kat & Sonny, you are very nice, I wish you all the best!
I hope your doing ok now with all the crap going on now, just watched this vid and read your comment.
I would say one of the hardest scenes in the fifth episode is watching the flashback with Vasily holding the baby and Lyudmila watching.
That's true. And a talk between Legasov and Sherbina in a middle of a court. This "big" man seem to me as a boys, who are only pity for their ruined lifes...
"In memory of all who suffered and sacrificed"
So many brave people saved the lives of millions. Amazing stories. Thank you.
Lviv Municipal Choir "Gomin" - 'Vichnaya Pamyat'.
Hello from Ukraine;) The 20th century was very difficult for Ukraine. On our territory there were First and Second World Wars, the Holodomor 32-33 years, repressions and the Chernobyl disaster. We are very grateful that other countries do not close their eyes to such crimes. Thank you for your emotions.
Reading this comment 4 years later makes me sad, Ukraine deserves better 😢
@@ST4MPLM4DBlicvidators is soviets people
Vichnaya Pamyat is a well established phrase, you can usually find it on graves in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.
Vichnaya Pamyat is also name of prayer by Orthodox Christian religion in Ukraine. It sings for the dead.
Lmao, I watched your entire chernobyl reaction series without realizing that you guys were danish, until I heard you say "Jeg ved slet ikke, hvad jeg skal sige nu" at 14:10. It's nice that danish youtubers are moving up in the world, lots of love from Copenhagen
He fucking left the band!!!!!!!
What does that mean in English?
@@noooname it means "i really don't know what I'm supposed to say now"
Episodes 1-4 were a good telling of what was going on at Chernobyl. Episode 5 was a great wrap up of the story. It was more dramatic interpretation but it was good and a heavy weight on the soul. Watching you guys react to it weighed on my heart and only reminded me of my favorite quote: "The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking .. the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker." A. Einstein. This was a story about truth. We have to be brave to accept the truth as people. Lies, omissions and manipulation is a danger to us all. We in the USA are learning this lesson right now. I hope we make it back into the light. The solution is in our hearts.
well said!
You had no idea how true that was when you wrote this. At the time of this writing over 149,000 Americans have died of COVID-19, with no end in sight.
Thanks from Ukraine for your reation, we live with this during last 33 years...
Terra Terrarium yep, 120 km away from the reactor. I speak for Kyiv citizens.

@@themagetone4184 interesting, thanks
Ep5 really delivered. After so much darkness, suffering, and cynicism, the broment at the end was really beautiful. I liked Boris from the second he used his limited knowledge of reactors he gained in the helicopter to call out the directors. I knew he had some depth to him. He loved Valery Legasov by the end of it and he respected him almost immediately. Beautiful, beautiful scene.
Absolutely agree with this. The way they showed Shcherbina's and Legasov's characters as the two pillars of the disaster, both political and scientific was brilliant. It showed the effect of the political entity willing to put truth and intellect above a party mandate.
The growth of their respect for each other throughout the ordeal is one of the best jobs I've ever seen done to not over-do it, but still give the poignant moments that confirm their respect to the audience.
Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgård both deserve praise (and awards) for their performances...
After Chernobyl in 1988 Sherbina was sent to really devastating earthquake in Armenia where he also was very helpful. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Armenian_earthquake There the Soviet government called for international help . In Spitak so many victims were also because the Soviets build houses that were not suitable for such region .
@@Rina-ie2sz That's awesome to know. I have no doubt he would be an asset in any crisis.
In my eyes, every single one of the people who risked and sacrificed everything should receive a medal named "Hero of Humanity" As I doubt any of them were rewarded with the Hero of the Soviet Union.
They were but not much of them. For example general from episode4 was nominated, but got just became a cavalier of Order of the Red Banner, just because he disrespected higher rank general (four stars, in comparison of his one star), that came to Chernobyl to check medal and order nominates.
Just in case of heraldics medals wearing at left side of the chest, and order at right. Hero of Soviet Union is the highest Order, and there was over 11000 cavaliers, over 800 twice cavaliers, 11 triple cavaliers, and 2 four times cavaliers of Order of Hero of Soviet Union (Zhukov and Brezhnev).
@UCphisLSOrWlRwODrpSa917g Actually Soviet Union was a very bad country that committed huge ammount crimes against Humanity. In comparison with for example with Third Reich - Theird Reich was very humanistic.
@@ZhekUA Third Reich was very humanistic? Tell that to those who were burned alive or died suffering in gas chambers. Are you idiot? This is a rhetorical question, no need to answer.

I am Ukrainian and you nailed it! Here is how it looks in cyrillic alphabet:
Вічная (Eternal) пам'ять (memory)
Thank you. Because of this series, I have learned Cyrillic, and can now read a few words written using it.
You guys have the best reaction video, really emotional. I was the same. The story is truly meaningful for me, I was six when this happened, I still remember the taste of Lugol's liquid (iodine solution), which was given to us in kindergarten in Poland. This show is great comemoration for the heroes and victims. Vichnaya pamyat, wieczna pamięć, eternal memory! Greetings from Poland!
Legasov's end narration about truth gave me 1984 vibes.
i thought the same thing
Well 1984 was pretty much based on the regime in the Soviet Union
Even now I'd say
@@mist5273 Yes, but I think 1984 is more meant to specifically criticize Joseph Stalin and his way of ruling, rather than the Soviet Union in general.
When you look at the past writing credits of Chernobyl writer Craig Mazin, it's a bunch of stinkers. The Hangover 2 and 3. Scary Movie 3 and 4. Rotten Tomatoes scores in the teens. Then he creates Chernobyl. Sometimes the guy who barely made the team hits the grand slam that wins the World Series. I'm so glad HBO took a leap of faith and made this happen. We live in the Twilight Zone.

Such a tragic story, so artfully told. Everyone involved in it's production should be commended. I'll say it again. The best show I've seen on TV in years. Thanks for sharing your reactions with us all.
Greetings from Kyiv, Ukraine. Love your channel. "Vichnaya Pamyat" - Вічна Пам'ять is a church hymn they sing in Ukrainian churches to commemorate the dead. "Eternal Memory".
That was the best mini series I've ever seen. Might be the best work on film of our generation so far. Are there some inconsistencies with what really happened? Sure. It's a mini series with 5 hours of time to tell a story that's still being written to this very moment. It can't be 100% perfect. But to encapsulate the experience of so many people in every facet of this disaster in such a meaningful way... Scientists, Politicians, "Liquidators," Nurses, Firemen, children...their children's children... It's one of the most powerful stories that can universally touch people and yet because of where,why and how it happened, we hardly knew of it. We've all heard of Chernobyl, but only those close to it knew the reality of the day by day grind and fight against the radiation and what it did to them. It was a story in DESPERATE need of telling and the timing was right. It deserves every award it can possibly be eligible for.
All in this movie true.

People already said this but name of the episode and song that plays at the end is Vichnaya Pamyat (Eternal Memory) and is sung in eastern christian religions (mostly slavic) as one of last songs during a funeral. It sings about eternal memory of the dead.
Chernobyl produced heroes but there were no winners 😔 The show portraits this so well.
Thank you for your excellent reactions and insight to this series!! Looking forward to more of your content.

Great review and reaction, thank you!
As a firefighter I fear stuff like this happening again, I dont mind the idea of dying, but atleast make it quick ARP is so slow and painfull, its one of my biggest fears
That heavy feeling in the chest, that's precisely 100% how I feel and it doesn't go away for days now. This story is harrowing for everyone but it's downright dangerous for empathetic people. So much suffering...
In 1988 (2 years after Chernobyl) Boris Shcherbina went to Armenia. There was a catastrofical earthquake in december. He was there for a fiew months, is was cold, he got sick cus his immunal system was damaged by Chernobyl events. So he got sicker everyday while remaining in Armenia, yet he didin't leave untill his duty there was done. Amenians built a monument of him.
Anyone who was in the Exclusion Zone immediately after the incident for as long as Legasov and Skarsgaard were developed ARS (Acute Radiation Sickness). While they may no longer be outwardly contaminant, their cells were still irrevocably altered by the radiation. When Stellan Skarsgaard spits up blood basically the radiation he absorbed is literally burning and rotting some part of him from the inside out. This is why this fucking series is such good horror: It's Lovecraftian. It's an unknowable energy we've barely harnessed yet use everywhere today and what's worse...Man created this terror, like most.
Another amazing video guys! Thank you.
It's really lovely to see how much you both care. Some very emotional moments in this show.
Chernobyl was incredible wasn't it. I think it's the best piece of TV I've ever seen.
Paul UK
I think that this storytelling is a monument for Legasov and Shcherbina. I did not know their names before although I was 15 when it happened and have lived through the fear, now I will remember them.
Enjoyed your thoughtful review/reaction to the whole series. Thank you for the video.
Your stunned silence at 14:00 speaks volumes and my reaction was much the same. This is a series the like of which I've never seen before - horrifying and at the same time grimly fascinating. An utterly mesmerising series that deserves all the awards and plaudits it will rightly receive.
Love your reactions guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much guys for your genuine reaction, you are very deep and you felt it all. Follow your channel after those reactions. You are so so great!
I loved your intelligent and honest reactions to this whole series. You were swept up in what you were seeing and became emotionally invested as the tragedy unfolded. In many ways it mirrored my own. Thank you.
Your faces are so expressive, when there's reactions to tv shows or movies I normally just play it in the bg while I do other stuff, but not with you guys, i feel like I miss a lot if i as much as turn around, and not many people can engage their audience like that
Thanks so much for your powerful reactions. I looked forward to each one. Love from Australia.
Thanks for all you do Sonny and Kat! Your hard doesn't go unnoticed! :D
The line Skarsgard said 'it's beautiful' was entirely improvised when the actor noticed the caterpillar on his clothes. The director thought it was perfect and kept rolling.
Given the timing, part of me likes to think that's a sign from the actual victims who passed on showing gratitude for everything
I realized after watching the series and then watching your reaction videos that the five episodes of the series follow the five stages of grief. One- denial. The entire episode is devoted to the disbelief and denial of the explosion. Two- anger. Most people are angry about the explosion, and even their actions against the core and to prevent further catastrophe were aggressive. Three- bargaining. Here they set aside much of their anger and set determinedly about the task of damage control, and begin exploring the cause. Four- depression. This episode focuses on the depressing reality of the aftermath, the fallout, and the effort to deal with the consequences. And five- acceptance. The courtroom shows what happened and shows the varying levels of acceptance of flaws and errors following the Chernobyl disaster, even in the post-script scenes at the very end.
Love your reactions guys, I’ve said before how they’re not over the top, and they’re genuine.
It was a remarkable emotional journey we all experienced with you. And thank you from all of us.
Cried as well during that last scene... So glad you finished this show and shared your thoughts with us!
Love you guys, looking forward seeing you more after this :)
I loved your reaction and discussion on this series. I am subscribing to watch other shows with you two :).
Great job lads!
Loved watching your reaction from the very first till the last second.
Big thanks and best wishes from the dude living 130km away from the exploded reactor. Not great, not terrible out here😁
felt so bad for legasov 😭 he died 2 years after this by hanging himself. he must be feeling depression from being lonely and they didn't even award him anything when he was alive :( . did Boris used to meet him secretly? any idea? rip legasov and Boris😭
He had a family in RL.
@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll he had a wife plus daughter still he hanged himself because of he was ill and really depressed. imagine his pain brother. they ruined his image completely when he was alive . people outside his family used to hate him for no reason and people who liked him were not even allowed to meet him. in 1996 russian president Boris Yeltsin posthumously conferred on Legasov the honorary title of Hero of the Russian Federation for the "courage and heroism" shown in his investigation of the disaster. they gave this award in 1996 but he died in 1988. they treated him like shit when he was alive :(
The friendship between Boris and Legaslov is fictitious.
@@Ryan-mv2hx right man. feel so bad for legasov. he was so depressed and he was suffering from radiation too. according to his daughter he didn't even sleep or eat during his last days. government ruined his image , everyone got their awards when they were alive even his batchmates who did nothing!! they treated legasov so badly and they even took his tittle 😭😢😢
@@Ryan-mv2hx He was expected to be awarded this when he was alive but he didn't. It made him realize that he would never get out from under the fist of the government.
That was the best scene, it was so very heart felt and moving. Everytime I see it I cry.
Thank you.
Hi Kat and Sonny
There's no better episode title than "Everlasting Memory ".
The way that the reactor incident was explained was brilliant, with the use of Red and Blue plates. I Liked the fact that those plates were written in Russian, giving almost the idea that were the actual plates he used during the Trial.
For me there are a couple of quotes that will be engraved in my memory:
"Every lie we tell, incurs a debt to the truth"
"...of all Ministers and all of Deputies.. Entire congregation of obedient fools, they mistakenly sent the one good man. For god's sake Boris. You were the one that nattered the most"
"Why worry about something that isn't going to happen?" -"That's perfect! They should put that on our money"
I don't know if these people actually said those words. I don't care! They still represent a cosmic truth, or at the least, what was on those people's minds.
Technically, i loved everything about this series. Color palette, sound, music and in particular the acting. Everything looked like the 80's on a communist Soviet Union.
Thanks for these 5 times you shared what you felt with us.
