15:14 the fucked up thing is that according to the actual wife of vasily, he looked much, much worse
Yes. They said that Akimov was so bad that parts of his skull bone were exposed even though he was still alive
Ive heard that the writers have talked about how much they had to downplay their conditions due to how grotesque and disturbing it was that even for HBO standards they couldnt show that so they had tone it down.
What's terrifying is that their actual physical condition was much worse, but it was so graphic that they toned it down for the show
They had shot the scenes with Akimov, but it was deemed too much even for HBO standards, so they edited it out
Fallout more or less got it right visualwize. Walking zombies, slow cancer, all of them awful ways to die. The first responders and volunteers of chernobyl are not military, but by every definition of the word are heroes.
damn so no dvd special features for those scenes?
@Donsposts it was never filmed
@@Donsposts Nope.. I know it's not the same but you can find some info in google.. for example:
According to his wife Lyudmila, who was at his side while he died, Ignatenko excreted blood and mucus stools more than 25 times a day, before eventually coughing up pieces of his own internal organs.
I keep thinking of what Legasov said to the helicopter pilot in episode 1: "I promise you that If you fly over that building, by Iomorrow you'll be begging for that bullet."
The backup flashlights were for the show and audience. In reality, they actually had to do it blind in the dark
@@Big_Bag_of_Pus Catch the official companion podcast. The director speaks about it. It was a pretty interesting listen. He's very honest about what they changed and why.
@@Big_Bag_of_Pus they mention it in the director commentary. not technically a source but they were going over many of the changes they made and why
Well that’s just not true. You really think they found their way through that maze and found the right valves to close in complete blackness? Use your brain. Also dynamo flashlights are real.
@@Big_Bag_of_Pus hmm. Could swear I heard it there. If not that then could be any number of videos and articles I was looking up afterwards. I'll see if I can find a source if I have time
I don't have the source, but my understanding is that the lights were iffy, but there was a lot of hand navigation. Following the pipes by hand.
The reason they didn't show Akimov was because in real life he was missing parts of his face. He couldn't really talk by that point and communicated mostly through taps or other means. What he was able to say had to be translated by his wife because she was the only one who could sort of understand him.
The thing is, the effects of the radiation on the people who got the highest doses was actually played down a bit on the show. That's always what really disturbed me, IT WAS WORSE in real life. May those poor souls RIP 🙏
Ive heard that the writers have talked about how much they had to downplay their conditions due to how grotesque and disturbing it was that even for HBO standards they couldnt show that so they had tone it down.
Episode 1, shocking. Episode 2, horrifying. Episode 3, disturbing. Episode 4, heartbreaking. Episode 5, full circle truth. One of the greatest mini series shows of all time
I'd say it goes 1. Shocking. 2. Disturbing. 3. Horrifying. :)
What kind of idiot tells whats going to happen?
@germcdunphy4566 who told you what would happen on this 4 year old show? Who would spoil the the surprise from 2019, damn that person
In real life, the Minister of Coal looked more like one of the miners and had started working as a miner when he was a teenager
Miners were known to mine naked when conditions were unfavorable (ie summer months), so that was definitely a thing, but at Chernobyl they stayed clothed and just dealt with it. It was changed for the show to make it more dramatic and possibly to show the miners’ nature of being against the grain.
Soviet miners at the time had a unique position. Because they were a vital component of the state industrial power, as long as they kept their end up by producing good and timely results, they were able to get away with a lot more social transgressions than that of other professions - including mouthing off to party officials and doing jobs their own way versus prescribed instructions.
The nekkid miners were included to grant some comic relief. I'm sure you noticed that this show is a bit of a downer. People need something other than grimdark or they'll switch off.
Sorry this took so long to upload! The copyright claims were strong with this one lol. Enjoy us crying again :(
very well edited. great reaction.
Such radiation sickness and 0 chance of recovery the best thing is overdose or bullet in the head... it`s more respectful than suffering.
I know it’s long but please read my whole comment 🙉😂🙏
Want to give a big hug to both of ya. This is a hard watch. Definitely not something you would watch for funsies 😅 It’s a great series about horrifically tragic subject matter but deals with very important AND STILL RELEVANT themes (crisis management, political climate, battling denial and delusions, confronting skepticism, trusting experts, etc).
Episode 3 and 4 are the hardest. It’s a toss up which one is worse. Episode 3 is hard because it shows the horrific effects of radiation and how you die from it. Episode 4 is hard but in a different way as the cleanup efforts (especially pets and wildlife 😭), the cleanup / liquidation efforts are really sad and theres no other way to fix it. Definitely have a box of tissues ready for episode 4.
Episode 5 is the best as it deals with the trial, and what caused the accident, and how it actually happened. Followed by a nice epilogue explaining which characters were real, which were merely representative, etc. And tells what happened to all the key players in the years after the events.
Plan ahead and have some Kleenex handy for the next episode. And for the "update" at the end of Episode 5, maybe.
Glad you overcame the uploading issues.
50 degrees Celsius is roughly 122 Fahrenheit. Highest recorded temperature in the Sahara Desert is something like 48 degrees Celsius.
Just to break your heart even further: It's a tradition in Ukraine and Russia to be buried wearing your best shoes, but the corpses were so deteriorated and bloated that they physically couldn't get the shoes on. Which is why Ludmila is holding them.
Episode 4 is even worse, but episode 5 is much kinder.
episode 4 is not worse, unless you value animals more than men, and i find that westerners do that for some fucked up reason
@@koigxiritb7ttgyuvtrueee it's such a dumb mentality
48°C is a common occurrence in every summer in the most desert countries around the world. the highest temp was actually recorded in eastern California in the Mojave Desert.
@@koigxiritb7ttgyuv Dogs activate the same hormonal response human babies do when we look at them. A literal maternal/paternal instinct. People tend to care more about children than random adult strangers. So it's no wonder many people value dogs so much.
@@koigxiritb7ttgyuv First of all, we humans are animals, stop acting as if we're seperate from them. Second of all, I see no reason why we should value their lives less than ours.
Chairman Charkov is an amazing character: a bureaucrat who is terrifyingly good at his job.
he looks soulless. probably a requirement for the job.
There is a lot of controversy about the depiction of Lyudmila Ignatenko, and the very closely related topic of how she interacted with her husband and how much radiation that exposed her to beyond the high dosages she received by being so close to the reactor at the start. The makers of the show say that they just showed what Lyudmila herself is recorded as saying in the book Voices of Chernobyl, but she has also been critical of how she was portrayed in the show, as I understand it. Suffice it to say that the way things went with the Ignatenkos as shown on the show is not necessarily based on scientific facts, and is much more a reflection of one person's memories as interpreted by multiple writers after the fact. One thing that the show makers do say is that they did not show the full extent of the radiation sickness, and that they toned it down from what the eyewitness reports said.✌
Yes. Patients throwing up their internal organs, for example. A bit much for most people.
There really should be no controversy. Being around her husband and interacting with him didn't expose her to any additional radiation.
@Gerald H While that is certainly true, those in a medical setting would have had a better understanding. They would have instructed her not to touch him, but for his protection. The bigger problem is that this series very much portrays what happens as her fault when her actions had nothing to do with what happened.
There is some truth, All the patients had some internal doses and particles emitting radiation that is fact, but the internal doses were much lower than external doses, thr highest was Degtyarenko who received 2Gy or 200 rad internally, and he was a huge hazard so much so someone had to move office on the same floor he was on due to the contamination, but still not super dangerous, the amount of radiation Lyudmila received from vasily was trivial she would of received over 1000 times more from being in Pripyat, for context Guskova the head nurse of hospital number 6 who was with all the patients for weeks and months received a 40 millisievert dose from her time in hospital number 6, which is nothing.
Episode 5 isn't too difficult. 3 & 4 are the toughest 👍
I am Ukrainian. I was born in 1989, after Chernobyl. But, my father was a firefighter. Moreover, he studied in the same course with those guys who extinguished the station. So I know a lot about the accident.
First: why it was built. To provide energy to 2.4 million residents of Kiev (as of 1986, more than 3 million now live there) as well as industrial enterprises. At that time, coal was mainly used in Kiev. At that time there were 5 nuclear power plants in Ukraine, and Chernobyl, with its four reactors, was the most powerful. The fourth reactor was the newest. It was connected to the network in December 1983, less than 3 years before the accident.
Second: a little bit about the Soviet Union. Nuclear technology in the USSR became a victim of propaganda. In practice, accidents with nuclear facilities happened quite often. The most dangerous was Kyshtym disaster in 1957. An explosion at a nuclear weapons factory. The history of Soviet nuclear submarines is even more revealing. Well, the most ridiculous case was Kramatorsk radiological accident: a capsule with radioactive cesium-137 was lost during the construction of a house and it turned out to be walled up in the wall and successfully irradiated the owners of the apartment for 9 years. Four people died from it. I hope you can now imagine the level of mess in the nuclear industry of the USSR.
As a Canadian, I can tell you that our hottest Summers have barely eclipsed 40C let alone 50. Id be fucking boiling.
By contrast folks, a Winter in Northern Ontario and Quebec or Southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba can drop so low that engines dont start without a block heater (-35C).
Southern BC rarely drops below -15.
Hospital #6 specializes in radiation sickness. They actually held back on showing what the patients went through, but I won't tell you unless you ask. The "I told you I'd show you Moscow" plays like pure Hollywood, but it really happened. I recently saw an interview with Gorbachev who said he'd personally ordered the scientists tailed, not because he didn't trust them, but because he didn't trust the information he received through official channels any more, and wanted an independent source. Buckle up for episode 4. It's the roughest one. But in episode 5, you get all the answers,
How was it worse than that. The dudes are essentially rotting while still alive. I mean I guess you can visualize what missing a face would look like though. Can’t believe he was still alive and conscious enough to respond after such pain and trauma
@@jaydubs6354Ive read somewhere that part of Akimov's skull were exposed and also some of them were throwing up their own internal organs.
@@BaldwinIV_of_Jerusalem yep. It was certainly much much worse than anything they showed in the series.
the animal scenes get to me too! I am a cat lover, it always gets to me just seeing a picture of a sick cat! The scene with the puppies really got to me though. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to have to kill an innocent animal. Cheer up, the final episode is not nearly as emotionally heavy. It explains a lot about what happened & how a nuclear reactor works.
I literally had to skip it, I can't handle animal deaths. Don't look up what happened in real life , it's harrowing. I don't Blame the Soviet people, I blame their Communist government. Let's just say, not only were they responsible for this disaster but they didn't supply their people with the proper equipment leading to very inhumane practices
@@lucianaromulus1408 The Soviets were communist in name only, as is typical. When actual communist countries appear the CIA destroys them.
What a way to end an episode. This series was gripping from the beginning to the end. One of the best.
"What is the cost of lies".
I quickly just wanted to state that the soundtrack of this series is magnificent.
For context on the temperature. ~38-39 Celsius is probably slightly over 100 Fahrenheit
50C is 120F so it's insane.
A very good reaction.
Ludmilla did not in fact touch her husband. Any radiation she suffered was from being in Pripyat for 48 hours after the explosion.
Some miners stripped down, not all.
And...the meltdown never reached that level. The miners did not in fact have to dig that hole at all.
Be warned--the next episode was the more heart-rending.
Also your question (in the wrap-up / outro) about why they were taken to that hospital in Moscow is because that particular hospital, hospital number six, was one of several different hospitals that they had set up with teams that were familiar with nuclear and radiation sickness!! They had been in existence since the beginning of the construction of nuclear power plants in the Soviet Union!! So yes they would be getting the best treatment possible at the time at that hospital.
Glad you two kids are back reacting! Thanks for, well, putting yourselves through this; it's a great series, but such a harrowing watch. The music and score are quite impressive too, really meshes with the whole feel. Happy to know I'm not the only one crying (well, man-sobbing, really.)
The bald guy with the mark on his head is Mikhail Gorbachov, the leader of the USSR. He was leader when the USSR disintegrated.
This, to me, is the hardest to watch. Thank you for your reactions. I remember when this all happened. And I had a co-worker from Belarus who died young of a very rare thyroid cancer. It almost certainly was because of Chernobyl. He was a wonderful person and left behind a wonderful wife and two kids.
A movie I recommend, which discusses what a meltdown is, is "The China Syndrome." It was fiction, but essentially somewhat reflects a real event at Three Mile Island.
Oh, nd 50 degrees Centigrade is the temperature where a lot of the proteins in the human body start denaturing...essentially unfolding and no longer working.
Not all firefighters 6 died from ARS, the other 26 weee plant workers.
Thank you for bringing attention to this with the battle of Ukraine happening currently.
You guys are so good at editing these! Love your channel!
I just want the coal mining crew chief in more movies mouthing off bureaucrats and cutting through bs. Type cast that man for life Hollywood!
I've never felt so guilty about recommending a TV series in my life. I wish I could just tell Sarah a joke, make a funny face, ANYTHING to cheer you guys up! You know, I did the opposite! I watched the first three...and the last two. I had to get it over with, pull off the band-aid! It must be excruciating having to go back to it. You're probably done by now, anyways. Fuzzy comedies, short ones: Paper Moon, classic. Royal Tenenbaums will make you feel great. Just saw two reactions to that one that are fantastic, you guys would kill on that one. "Singin' In The Rain", that's the most feel good, dazzlingly entertaining movie I can possibly think of. And for your next TV show, make it a comedy! Whatever classic (or current) comedy show you've never seen but have always wanted to!
13:19 - You get a good handle on Celcius with two simple facts and a short rhyme: 0 is the freezing point of water, 100 is the boiling point.
30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cold, 0 is ice.
Congratulations, you now have just about all the knowledge you need regarding day-to-day applications of an entire alternate measurement system.
there will be some clarity later in the show around which characters are based on real people and which ones are symbolic, so not to worry there
Its not that they didn't evacuate the people far enough. It's that they didn't evacuate people from a larger area
32:28 "taken care of" means money, pensions, stipend.
50°C is a whopping 122°F
I can agree, I cryied so much watching this ❤
of those 3 volunteers, two are still alive
15:27 😢 ❤️
beautiful sarah. the reason i watch reaction videos is to see emotion just like that.
50 degrees Celsius is 122 degrees Fahrenheit exactly
The podcast that went with this show was very good as well.
Watching this whole series takes ....fortitude.... but it's worth hanging in. It gets worse - but then it gets better. It's a worthy ride.
I'm old enough to remember Chernobyl (and 3 Mile Island and of course Fukushima) Chernobyl is in a class by itself. By the end of the series you will understand. It was as if - at every possible decision point, they made the worst possible choice. Yes, it was "inconceivable" because if one or two things hadn't been the worst possible choice, none of this likely would have ever happened. There might still be a USSR. The consequences of Chernobyl can not be understated. Which is why I am even more anxious about what's going on in contemporary Ukraine - still home to this (currently diffused) ecological timebomb.
How big is Sarah's heart! ❤️ 😢
huge
I'm Belgian. I was about 11 when it happened. We were told not to go play outside for too long and we couldn't eat certain veggies because they were grown in our own country and could've gotten contaminated. You guys are strong working your way through this series. This event was beyond horror and when i watched this series as a grown up... i though it was even worse.
This is event caused me to think we are way too depending on energy consuming technology and should return to some more basic lifestyle. Because when these events happen, people will suffer in ways that should never have to occur.
22:26 conscripts, part of the 750K
You probably know by now but the leader is Gorbachev. Check his forehead. :D
I would imagine they moved them to Moscow because it's a much better hospital and could do more for the victims than the hospital in Pripyat. Remember the doc there wanted to treat them with milk -- obv no expert on radiotion sickness.
Also for anyone who hasn't watched the series yet, the last episode is much lighter and fills in a lot of the unknowns.
I feel I should expand on what Legasov said happens to those that die from Acute Radiation Syndrome. In essence it utterly obliterates your body’s DNA. After receiving a 100% fatal dose, your cells lose the ability to replicate. When they attempt to undergo mitosis (dividing and multiplying) they basically fall apart. But until that happens, they continue to function, hence the “latency period”. But our bodies are undergoing mitosis constantly, so the damage starts presenting itself very quickly.
What makes this so insidious, however, and why it is so unimaginably painful, is that mitosis rates are different for different cell types. Those which replicate most frequently will be the first to die away, specifically the intestinal lining. But the last cells to start being affected are the nervous system, and the cardiovascular system. Even as your body is literally decomposing, your nerve endings are still sending pain signals, your brain is still receiving those signals, and your heart is still pumping blood throughout your body, futile as it may be.
The whole thing about close contact with radiation poisoning victims being dangerous is one of the inaccuracies in this series. You can't transfer radiation poisoning from person to person by hugging or holding hands. Unfortunately though, the fear that radiation victims were dangerous to be close to, was real and it was a big problem after the evacuation of residents from around Chernobyl, because people in the towns and cities where they were resettled would refuse to host them in their homes.
20:16 double camera glance ✅
This is a living nightmare. Simply horrifying.
Sorry you folks had so much trouble getting this one uploaded...glad to see it posted regardless of delays.
Something the makers of the show changed for entertainment purposes in this episode is the way the coal minister and coal miners interacted. The Deputy Minister of Mining met with the miners, and basically gave them 24 hours to be ready to go to Chernobyl...there was no humorous coal dust on the suit moment. The meeting between the Minster and miners is covered in the History vs Hollywood article I recommended...as is the fact that the miners did not work in the nude.
50c is about 122F
I love the miner. He's also an incredibly irritating, indulgent character. Just a tool to insert a little humor, but in a "respectful" way, by making him super smart. The character's serving two purposes. First, as one of the miners who made installing the heat exchanger possible, and second, as the working class hero trope, smart folk-wisdom, the court jester, the one who can speak truth to power, which is such a handy, tired, and lazy tool used by writers, and super condescending to the "working class".
The wife is based on real person. Her story is described in the documentary book Chernobyl Prayer, that is an oral history compiled by journalist Svetlana Alexievich. The most difficult book to read in the universe. You read it and just cry non-stop. :(
You guys should RUclips - Liquidators and learn more about the people who had to go to Chernobyl
The next ep was worst than this! It make everyone cry ^^ that's exactly what scares you!
At the end of the show, they show pictures of real people like Legassov, Cherbina, etc... The fireman's woman is a real people, and it is her real story
The only people who is not real on the mains cast is Ulyana Khomyuk
Sarah, I thought of something similar that it would be more humane to end their suffering now instead of making them go through all that pain. Still, that would be each person's choice & in the Soviet Union it might even be impossible. Remember in the first episode Legasov hung himself? He knew he was sick & would likely die soon. As a scientist he knew that if he waited for the illness to take him, it would be much more painful than he was willing to endure. That's why he hung himself. He did it on Chernobyl's anniversary to connect his death to the tragedy.
During that same episode if you look at the clock it says 1:23:45 the exact same time the core exploded two years prior.
@@BaldwinIV_of_Jerusalem that's a great observation! I noticed the clock said 1:23 but had not paid attention to the 45 seconds.
The irony with the shutdown button (AZ-5/Scram) is that in essence the plant workers were right. The plant should have never exploded but ah, I'm getting ahead of myself. You will get all the answers soon :-)
Episodes 3 and 4 are the hardest. 5 is the best.
Episode 4 is brutal
while it seems cruel, keeping the firemen and other radiation victims alive is an opportunity for further study and treatment of radiation sickness. the prognosis is grim, but not everyone dies and no one can tell who the lucky ones will be.
Um they tried their best to keep them alive, out of 299 people admitted to Moscow hospital and over 50 in Kiev only 28 died from ARS, treatment was highly sophisticated and those who died had received several times a lethal dose and had no hope, yet Anatoly tormazin received 860 rad and survived. He is the only one who was placed in Degree IV that survived. (21 categorised in that degree which is Extreme ARS, and 20 of the, died.) apart from those people everyone else had a relatively good chance of surviving.
Eric is a much bigger man than me for not making a stupid joke when Lluydmilla met Vasily in the hospital. I was kidding around with my girlfriend saying "Will you still love me if I was irradiated?" and she hit me lol. The ending of this episode makes me feel worse for saying that.
9:45 what a bullshit 😆they made him look like a scared mouse in a suit
The real Minister of Coal Industry was very famous person among miners because he started as simple miner himself
People knew and respected him. He personally led rescue operations after accidents in mines several times and each time all people were saved
In reality when he came to call people to Chernobyl he simply said something like " It is a deadly task but it is a necessary task. Country need your help. Volunteers one step forward." Almost everyone volunteered. Bullying and chatter was not required lol
The skin goes black because of necrosis. It is a horrible painful way to die, but the bravery of these folk made the difference to the wiping out of Western Europe. The danger was that the three other reactors could have melted down as well. The miners and the firefighters were the true heroes.
You're right,...it gets worse.
Some rough parts in this episode.
Don't worry. It gets worse
50 C = 120+ F
Well I enjoyed your reactions. I wish you would show a little longer parts of the clips with the voices. Like at the end of the last episode when they briefed Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev, I think it was the most important scene in the whole series, so I wished you showed all of it. They overdid the firemen's reactions.(film makers license) Most die in an atomic bomb blast from the heat of the explosion, not the radiation. Radiation effects take longer. Once the exposed persons clothing is removed the only chance of secondary contamination would be from their internal fluids, blood, sweat, semen.
Hospital #6 was the ONLY hospital that had Doctors and experts to deal with radiation after effects..Thats why they transported the worst victims there.
If you watch the reaction videos made by the ""Media Knights"" and ""Nikki & Steve Reacts"" to the first 3 episodes you will get a good idea of how to make a better reaction video. I think they do a great job of reaction videos to this series.
Be ready for the worst, emotional draining episode #4 I wont give you any more spoilers other than that. In #5, the last episode you will get the explanation of how and what happened. Be sure to watch all of the ending credits when they give facts about all the people in this series and general comments. Maybe make Eposides 5 in a part 1 and part 2 to get all of the stuff in..up to you..Some suprises! Ok keep it up, Im enjoying it!
Hank Green made a terrific (and accessible for laypeople) video explaining the basics of how the reactor at Chernobyl exploded, even though that was supposed to be impossible. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a background in particle physics:
ruclips.net/video/hIGtTImeYU4/видео.html
Anyone who does have a background in particle physics will likely find it oversimplified.
Yeah, the case with the wife being allowed to stay is one of those rare exceptions where any compassion is alas the absolute wrong choice…
Except that was one of the major inaccuracies of the series. The patients weren't radioactive. The plastic barriers were up to protect the patients because their immune system was destroyed. It's not to protect the people from the patients.
The most important point is that you could see how catastrophically the ideology had failed. In socialism-communism, the blame always lies with the individual but never with state institutions and politicians.
They had a raw material that was used without hesitation, as was so often the case in the USSR. They were people, and there were enough of them.
The second was the lie, tried and tested over the centuries, even if the dirt had long since fallen abroad. As a German in West Berlin, you could see in pure terms what happens when this ideology fails completely.
The Swedes, us Germans and others, fell squarely on their heads with socialist dirt.
Last spring, when the Russians overran Northern Ukraine, they captured Chernobyl. They forced the Ukrainian maintenance crews to stay on and keep working. They decided to maintain a security garrison there. The troops dug trenches and were surprised when they started feeling ill.
Yep. When the Russians took over the plant the vibration from their tanks and other vehicles, plus the trenches dug by the soldiers on foot, all that shook loose the dirt and released the isotopes that had been buried during the liquidation and so the area became like “re-radiated” and the Russians started getting radiation effects and were forced to retreat.
If the Russians had just held off until 2085, they'd have had far fewer problems. Cough, cough...
Please watch all rambo movies please watch 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Всем ликвидаторам ЧАЭС🥀
A little help please......I'm learning English and I don't understand why the lady started to say: "Today, we are watching....". This sentence is confusing to me because they are talking, not watching. In my mind, she has to say: we will watching the episode or we are going to watch the episode.......Can someone tell me what I do not understand? thank you.
It is common in english to use present tense if someone is about to do something. Using future tense or "going to" are both correct as well..
But english is not my first language as well, so... maybe someone else will answer that better
@@Refixul Thanks for your answer.
"It is common in English to use present tense if someone is about to do something.". I've always been told that -ing describes what you are doing now, not what you will be doing. I can say: I am writing to Refixul......but I can't say: I'm writing to Gotreactions, because it's not true, even if I intend to do in few secondes. So, when she says we are watching, I only see a lady who are talking.
@@gotreactions Hi from Brussels, Belgium.
@B C Hi! Riccardo is right, it is often still considered correct if you use present tense to talk about something you're ABOUT to do, and especially works if you provide extra information in relation to time. With "Today, we are watching..." a key part of the sentence is "Today" which is specifying the time in which the verb (watching) will take place, so present tense works because there is information indicating when the verb will be happening. In the same way, it would also work if someone said: "Next Thursday, we are watching..." because again, it specifies the time in which the action will take place.
You're right in saying you couldn't say "I am writing to Gotreactions" as you described, as it would feel strange. But I think it's because if you wrote that while actively writing to someone else, it comes across as a lie because there's not enough clarity about when each action takes place, so what you're saying and what you're doing would contradict each other. But if you said "Next, I am writing to Gotreactions" still present tense, but it gives an idea of when things will happen, and works a lot better.
However, in all of these situations future tense also works (and perhaps is more formally correct?) so if it's confusing you will sound natural enough using future tense yourself when speaking/writing, but when other people use present tense in this way you can also understand it as correct :)
I hope that makes sense!
@@Kerlsayer Hi, thanks a lot for your message. Is it correct if I answer this: I think I got it all but tomorrow I'm reading again your explanations.......good English?
I'M GOING TO SAY THAT MY MAIN TAKEAWAY FROM THIS SERIES AND THIS EVENT IS THAT AS HORRIBLY ATROCIOUS AS THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT'S REACTION TO THIS INCIDENT WAS, THE SOVIET PEOPLE ROSE TO THE OCCASION AND PRETTY MUCH SAVED THE WORLD!!! MY HAT'S OFF TO THE SOVIET CITIZENRY AND THE PEOPLE WHO STEPPED UP AND SACRIFICED KNOWING THAT IT COULD/ WOULD BE A DEATH SENTENCE!!!! MAD RESPECT, LOVE AND THANKS!!!!
Sorry, but this is a perfect example of why humane human euthanasia should be legal and available. No reason to go through this horribly slow and painful death. OD me on morphine or shoot me. It was very clear many of these victims were not going to survive and, if they wished, they should have been provided a quick end rather than having to endure such a horrible death.
If it adds to your opinion, I’ll explain why the pain is so horrible. Fatal radiation exposure across the entire body destroys your DNA, so your cells lose the ability to replicate. In the short term, they continue to function, hence the latency period. But as they try, and fail, to replicate, things go downhill quickly. The truly insidious part is that the replication rate is different for different cell types. The intestinal lining is fastest, so that part dies first. But the nervous system, and the cardiovascular system, have slowest rate of mitosis. The effect of this is that, even as the rest of your body is falling apart on a cellular level, your nerve endings and pain receptors are still firing, your brain is still receiving the signals, and your heart continues pumping blood to keep your body alive. In short, you feel every bit of what’s happening to you.
you are wrong, with radiation unless someone exceeds a certain threshold we cannot say for sure someone is going to die, Guskova was highly experienced in treating radiation and out of the 299 admitted to moscow, 27 died, that is a lot of survivors for example Sitnikov received 600 rad, and died, yet Tormazin received 860 rad and survived.
The liquidation of the Chernobyl accident was painful not only due to the loss of lives and the enduring consequences we continue to face but also because it cost the Soviet Union its entire GDP
now a soviet angent, putin is rules russia
they didn't get their fans so unwanted fanservice
Nothing is allowed to shed light on anything that makes The Party look bad. This is how totalitarian parties such as the Communist party operate. 1986 was the beginning of the end of my faith in the system. The following year I became conscious of this reshaping when we did a study in a book by Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
