"I totally did not expect this to blow up. With that said, I would love to make another one." - the party officials involved in the Soviet nuclear program

More of Chernobly please!

I would eagerly watch any heavy drama that you can make as funny as this, the editing here is absolutely perfect

Prolly should’ve expected it to blow up, in hindsight.

You did an excellent job.

Hahaha

fucked up thing is, in reality he didn't know this was a possibility. He was a victim of fucked up soviet design. In real life he send the 2 persons who looked into the reactor core, when they were still in the operating room. But they refused. Ukrainian workers are made of some otherworldly stuff man.

Kills me every time

Why is that the “Best thing to ever happen?”

@@coimbralaw it’s hilarious that’s why

Any time you hear someone saying such things your immediate reaction should be to RUN, get as far away from that idiot before he gets you killed

Titan submarine: this sub won't implode

Not only this reactor, no reactor can be exploded.

US banking system- "It cannot fail"

He’s delusional

its the party logic

3 trillion IQ answer

That line of thinking is actually quite common for individuals with strongly held beliefs. If you can't disprove their line of thinking, then you must be incorrect.

of course lol

Well, in reality it wasn't a toilet, I think, but he was rather making rounds around the power plant. When he returned to the 4th block's control room, the power had already dropped and Akimov with Toptunov were trying to rise it. He gave them his blessing to continue and continue they did. At least that was Dyatlov's version of events. You have to take it with a grain of salt, but the HBO series with the spoon of salt. It's American made series, after all. 🙂

​@Eltanin25 its true, the cia hijacked the reactor to make it seem like the ussr was at fault for the world's worst nuclear catastrophe

​@@cubankid1959He didn't listen because he was incompetent, that is why he should have stayed in the shoe factory, that's why his point stands.

Sounds a lot like the Biden Administration right now “Supreme Court Justice nominee can you tell the definition of a woman?” Supreme Court nominee now judge “no I can’t “

Venezuela has a bus driver as President.

There's everything wrong with that. You don't hire such people for posts like this. Under-educated, under-qualified factory workers are not material that is useful for anything other than their base jobs.

@@Raven72 and the people there were eating the zoo animals to survive

More like they all knew this special task was lunacy but they couldn't overrule the idiot who supervises them that only wanted it done no matter what the cost.

Well hopefully no lunatics can make these kinda of decisions alone these days to his "reactor"

This is a bi-product of Marist regimes in which everyone is forced to conform and any form of decent is punished.

Yupp

This is like Mayorkas and democraps telling everyone U.S. border is under control lol

I wanted to make his eyes glow red in that part lmaoo

Please make a short of it

Stalinist Russians

If there’s one thing Dyatlov was good at it was _denial_

To be fair to them, none of the people in that room had been close to the reactor after it exploded, so they themselves didn't actually see it. The control room was in a completely seperate building on the other side of the complex, amd I expect the conference room to be somewhere there as well. Both far away from the actual reactor buildings.

@@xxnightdriverxx9576 that’s literally not true at all. The control rooms were relatively *close* to the reactors. Which is why we see so much graphite on the ground from Dyatlov’s perspective in one of the upstairs corridors. If the control room was as far away as your comment suggested, then Dyatlov couldn’t have seen graphite from his position. The control rooms in RBMK plants were in the same buildings as their reactors.

@@dancingcarapace The five stages of grief: 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance The five stages of grief, according to Dyatlov, Bryukhanov, and Fomin: 1. Denial 2. Denial 3. Denial 4. Denial 5. Denial

it's definitely how the pizza I previously ate eventually explodes into the toilet

🤣🤣😅

Did that on purpose LOL

Dyatlov's shit, both metaphorically and literally, caused Chernobyl.

​@@aregmirzoyan869😂😂😂😂😂 underrated comment..

One of my favorite parts too

@@friedyt thanks buddy I just LOVE how you emphatized to hilarious levels the skill of these guys to deny the clear absolutely disastrous reality. Plus, the actor which plays the manager/constructor chief of the VLADIMIR LENIN NUCLEAR POWER STATION (let's not call like a capitalist pleb would or they will cut our internet too...) has that kind of deep cigarette-crippled voice with a particular pitch that turns every said thing into gold. Let's don't talk also about the shoe factory worker in charge because that's just ART. Well... cheers comrad. *To the KZfaq Red Banned Workers of the World...* * *FAT VODKA SIP INTENSIFIES* *

Dyatlov: "he he.... Core goes booooom".

so real

Worked for a company during covid was like this work environment

Props to the explanation. It’s almost a shame the names of the incompetent aren’t etched in history as well

thanks!!

I actually wish he included the whole old man's speech. It starts with this slow "greatest generation, blah blah, we've been called on to mark hard choices" and being in the west you think this is going to end with some selfless declaration of doing the right thing and immediately working the problem...but hes an old-assed Stalinist so he immediately wants the phone lines cut and to hold the civilians in the toxic radiation zone.

Stalinist Russians

We'll cut off the spread of misinformation. Muahahaha. Fkn guy is scarier than any horror movie character.

I swear I said it in class one time when I was 15 after a chemistry group project and was in charge to write the essay but since I suffered of imsomnia I hadnt slept for 2 days and fell on the PC exhausted so my mother took me to bed and so... "No one can blame me guys, I WAS SLEEPING!" (for one day and half right until the morning when we had to give it to the teacher).

Pretty much every scene in this video could use that title lol

Yes exactly, they had no idea what was really happening until they died.

Wife: there’s graphite in your pocket! Dyatlov: she’s in shock, take her to the infirmary

Youre wasting our time..

@@friedyt I apologize... 🤮

Devil's advocate but I imagine that meetings in the United States Department of State are not far off from that also.

Not really, this is how the American and English government is lol.

​@@feeblemonster8174when they planned to take Kuwait, they took it. When they planned to take Afghanistan, they took it. When they planned to take Iraq, they did. When the Russians planned.... Oh wait, they didn't....

@@sjonnieplayfull5859 don`t discuss with loosers like him. Just think about how Wagner swept thru russia with 25.000 troops like a hot knife in butter. Russia is a joke.

Um, you aren’t correct there. They didn’t take Kuwait, the Iraqis did. Iraq wasn’t a victory because as soon as Saddam was removed it descended into sectarian and ethnic civil war which even the journalists in America and Britain feared would happen. Iraq if you haven’t checked lately is far worse than before we bombed it as was Libya. Afghanistan, if you consider your enemies taking back control of the entire country with capturing vast hordes of your equipment while fleeing the country with your tail between your legs and the Taliban restoring everything as it was before a victory then at least when Russia actually wins they do win. Hence, Georgia, Crimea and eventually Ukraine.

I totally should have haha

exactly. he gets it.

I see this kind of attitude everywhere. People, who think that they know more about any subjects than a professional, who studied the subject for years on a university and then published numerous peer-reviewed works.

@@CZpersi First of all, darling. If you know something, you know something. The state of having knowledge has nothing to do with how many articles you publish, in which corruption is a major factor, but it's bound to understanding and knowledge. Using credentials to justify shortcoming is not how real science works. Published articles do not make you an expert, a deep understanding of the problem makes you an expert. In this show, Legasov is an expert not because he's a professor or he published articles, he's an expert because he knows and understands the science. Do not confuse the two.

Or go to university, and end up with less wisdom than someone in a shoe factory. Not here, clearly, but it happens more often than you'd think.

@markarmage3776 So, one does not need to be educated as a nuclear physicist? One does not have to pass tests, exams and write papers to become recognized and known as a nuclear expert? You can have all the knowledge in the universe, but you need to prove it first, if you want others to believe your advice. Otherwise, it is just your "trust me, broh". Diplomas and publications have many shortcomings and academia is indeed nepotistic and corrupted in many ways, but I will always prefer a properly educated nuclear physicist in charge of my nations nuclear power plants, thank you. I myself would rather prefer my surgery to be done by a properly trained and experienced medical doctor with qualification in surgery. But, what can I know? Perhaps somebody, who saw couple videos on KZfaq would do it better? The freedom of choice is yours. Also, I am not your "darling". If you are unable to discuss politely, then you automatically lose the debate.

Yes indeed

I totally agree

Critical Drinker does that with the Tyrion clip a lot lol.

Hahaha

akimov actually meant, it was too much to ask for. lmao

thank YOU!

Well he wasn’t wrong

Tragedies are supposed to be tragic? Lies!

I think it’s been long enough to make jokes.. but I also feel the gravity of the whole situation and as a Russian myself, many family members were affected by it

Comedy = Tragedy + Time

Dark comedy is kinda a Whole Thing.

Fauci at 03:21

*Mental sickness* Put twitter logo image.

Antivaxxers think they are Legasov, but everyone else knows they're Dyatlov.

sharp elbows. make sure to take a portion of the responsibility when things go well and avoid the brunt of the blame when things go bad, be hard on those under you, owners like that. for some reason it shows loyalty and leadership capabilities

true, now imagine those retards have control of full aspects of your life lol

Bluff, bluster, 'self-promotion', manipulation, opportunism. Don't EVER take your 'boss', 'supervisor', 'manager', 'CEO' seriously.

@@RideAcrossTheRiver nor your president

They kicked ass at lower rungs of the ladder. A LOT would improve if the coorporate culture allowed for returning people who get promoted beyond their competence to return to the job they did well with no shame attatched to it.

*2022

I put this in my presentation actually! The Russian troops exposed the radioactive dirt which the liquidators buried and increased the radiation in the exclusion zone by more than 10x.

@@friedyt week ago I read a report of Russian Docters seeing more radiation problems with those soldiers. It's actually a fear of those who bury the stuff that it will be found in some far future by people who have forgotten what it was Sadly, the far future was very near...

@@sjonnieplayfull5859 Very sad indeed. And many of the soldiers got ARS - many didn't even know the history of Chernobyl, surprisingly.

@@friedyt not too surprising: they were raised by people who got educated in the Soviet Union, by those who were told that the State does not make mistakes and there are no serial killers in the Soviet Union. Those people raised and trained these soldiers, and the last years they have only been told bad things about Ukraine so any truth should be ignored as much as possible. And then it hits them in the face like an open door hits a blindfolded guy

Real Communism has never been..🤣🤣 can't even type that shit lmao.

Thank you, this was one of my favorite moments to make haha.. i actually reversed a little bit of that stare so it was awkwardly long!

Yes, of course it was in no way his fault :)

I didn’t know that, cool!

I've seen this in corporations as well. Corporate, government, it's human bureaucracy.

@@Blashmack the difference is t he at corporations can't deploy the military to cover up a monumental fuck up like this the government can

​@@Blashmack ​​​When a corporation fails, it eventually ceases to exist. When government fails, it can go on failing forever.

Can you provide an example of the US trying to cover up a disaster that occurred in front of millions?

@@jshepard152not true.

Nuclear catastrophe is like any job?

@viracocha Management constantly trying to cover their ass. Not telling people what they are doing at appropriate intervals or letting them examine plans ahead of time. Being against people asking questions. Hostile environment. The people at the top of the chain not being knowledgeable on their subject matter. Yes, most jobs, at least in the US, are exactly like this.

It infuriates me when clueless americans like you bagatelize how fkin horrible the communist leadership and the whole system were, where the only requiememt for any position of power was being the biggest bootlicker and snitch, no matter the expertise. This rot was in every corner of society, never knew who to trust, everybody could be a snitch, you could be jailed just for something your child said in the school because he/she heard it at home. you had to talk about anything “political” or anything that could be deemed as such (asically almost everything) in a hushed voice, never on the street, workplace, pub or you faced jail, loss of job, loss of education for your children, etc… everybody was afraid if everybody, this series depicts it solidly, but not in it’s full darkness. Yeah, just like in america🤦‍♂️

Well, the fact that you haven't died from radiation poising makes you one of the luckier former employers of your old workplace.

@@danielk5780 not really.. nuclear powerplant workers today are exposed to very little radiation. This movie and media has made it seem as though nuclear engineers just drop dead as soon as they enter a power plant.

Thank you!

Super great actor for sure

I was thinking about that actually, The 2 have a lot of similarities in that they portray the Soviet Union, Use mostly British actors with varying regional accents instead of Faux Russian accents, and are somewhat comedic and portray the general events quite well, but specifics and the characters are inaccurate.

Thank you so much! This means a lot to me ❤

Thank you so much :)

Yeah, he wasn’t a completely horrible person. There are a few reviews you can find on KZfaq from when he was still alive

I totally should have!

Thank you very much :)

*Benvenuti nel bel paese.*

brotha was fumin

We all did!

5:19 **SLURPS LOUDLY**

Legend says he smoke so much that his lungs were radiation-proofed. You are right he has that kind of calm (he slept too much clearly) deep yet weird pitched voice that makes you laugh only for a simple sentence. 😅 BTW his voice I-II-IIS WELL UNDER CONTROL! Just like his own designed power plant.

I cant see how you can tell that from here

@@friedyt yes we should just pass over the reactor core several times until we puke to make sure it's exposed. That smoke may just be Brjuchanov relaxing himself inside the RMBK with a cigarette.

@@grandicellichannel Nono I don’t think you understand. bryukhanov IS the exposed rbmk.

@@friedyt lol you said it dude! XD No wonder the ACTUAL Bryukhanov died of lungs cancer, not even for a long term radiation exposure illness, because unlike the the HBO miniseries character, he basically staid in the Nuclear Plant bunker (yes there was a bunker in case of a foreign nuclear attack to the power plant, but well... they nuked themselves so...legit 🤣) until KGB dragged him off there! I bet they were also wearing fireproof cloaths and gas masks more for all the cigarette smoke pouring off the plant (so Boris is somehow right...) rather for the RMBK extreme radiation doses!

“The situation I-I-I-is WELL under contro-“ BOOM

so real

Any of us who have had some experience in the “working world” (or who have even just OBSERVED how institutions and their internal political hierarchies and power structures work) have PROBABLY dealt with upper management like this at some point.
