Putin’s Media Struggle to Deal With HBO’s Chernobyl - The Moscow Times

Interesting read on Russian views of the series

That was a wild read. They're so insecure.

Still, an attempt will be made to put an entirely different spin on those events. Russia’s NTV channel has already announced that it is shooting its own “Chernobyl” series based on the premise that the CIA sent an agent to the Chernobyl zone to carry out acts of sabotage.

As justification for the story, the film’s director, Alexei Muradov, cited fringe conspiracy theorists: “One theory holds that Americans had infiltrated the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and many historians do not deny that, on the day of the explosion, an agent of the enemy’s intelligence services was present at the station.”

shyt was masterful.

Six or so hours of absolutely depressing but compelling TV. I was literally loading up streams every week like 'They're all fukked'

I got a small measure of joy from Dyatlov trying to pull the 'I was in the toilet ' trick only for man to say 'Nah, fam - you were in the room '

They're gonna come award season.

Sound like some North Korea shyt.
If it wasnt for their military and natural resources, they wouldn't have shyt. I think they wanted Trump or any repub in there to help them financially and to weaken alliances. Obeezy was eatin at them Oil profits. Republican policies on oil and military intervention keeps Russia afloat.

I really need a Putin series to explain how he cane to control all of this. Word is he just started checkin oligarchs and gangsters like it was nothin and let them know it was his show now. Can u imagine the ruthlessness it takes to lead Russia like he has

Or maybe it shows how weak they really are if he's allowed to do that.

Aint nobody gone call a Russian weak. This series definitely displayed their courage. They aint no bishes. Also showed how they reward unqualified ppl with powerful positions within the government.(Trump again) I can kinda see how a cunning individual that understands the ins and out of the system and also the ins and out of the kgb,so would know the ppl he had to kill that he thought would be a challenge and just ease on in that top spot.

Their courage is top notch but a lot of them just follow orders too and were afraid to go against their superiors. Like they said on the podcast, if something like that happened here, the cleanup and evacuation would be a lot messier. It could be argued that people in the control room would have told Dyatlov to go fukk himself instead of blowing the reactor.

Americans are confrontational; a lot of other countries aren't. I read some articles about plane crashes and that was a reason Asian airlines would have crashes: second in command pilots wouldn't be vocal enough when impending doom was coming because their culture was to be submissive to authority in basically all situations.

Funny to read some of the reviews that jumped the gun before the last episode showed and explained the details leading up to the events. Everyone trying to be first to report without the whole story

There was this flight over in Pakistan I believe that had a similar fate. The captain of the plane was just like Dyaltov, an unpleasant a$$hole and the co pilot who was new to the airline was afraid to correct him. Long story short, the captain didn’t know how to fly this plane and the co pilot knew the plane was going to crash dead ahead into the side of a mountain but whenever he voiced his opinion, the captain would dismiss him and curse him out. They ended up all dying when the plane slammed into the mountain...

Americans take that freedom of speech thing to great lengths

Who knew watching a digital display where the numbers were rising would be so suspenseful?

That is masterful directing right there.

He basically controls the economy of a nation. It his to do what he wants. We're talking oil and natural gas. Supposedly the russian mob pays him. I have no doubt he's richer than Bezos/Gates/Buffett amd whoever else. Probably combined.
