.@clmazin Here is an interview with two liquidators from the Urals. They both worked on clearing the graphite from the roof as well as clearing the ground around Pripyat. They both have nothing but high praise for #ChernobylHBO. e1.ru/news/spool/new…
Both of them tell the same story as my stepfather did: 25 roentgen was considered the maximum allowable level, so everyone was just marked down for that @ the end of the day. They also loved the Tula miners scene. One of them said Glukhov is an exact copy of a miner he befriended
Finally: "We were just soldiers following orders. It was our war. But after watching the series, I realized we were a part of something great. It has raised my self-esteem, even. I even thought to myself: "It's better that it wasn't made in Russia..."
"We'd never shown the government's actions this honestly. It would've been another local show with actors we are used to seeing as cops and bandits. Here, the actors really make you believe. I want this film to be seen all over the world. And I want it to be believed!"
