Pro-Kremlin media have criticized the series, with some describing it as pro-western propaganda.

Former workers at the Chernobyl power plant have disputed how the world's worst nuclear accident was portrayed in the hit TV series.

"Possibly, Anatoly Dyatlov became the main anti-hero in the show because that was how he was perceived by the power plant's workers, his subordinates and top-management, in the beginning. Later this perception changed,""The operators were afraid of him. When he was present at the block, it created tension for everyone. But no matter how strict he was, he was still a high-level professional," he added.

Tourists photograph one another on the remains of a merry-go-round in the ghost town of Pripyat not far from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on August 19, 2017, in Pripyat, Ukraine. Another point of contention in the miniseries is when the residents of the town of Pripyat, where the plant was located, were seen rushing to a railway bridge, known as the"Bridge of Death" to get a closer look at the fire, oblivious to the radiation danger.

It just portrays the Soviet Russia

Just an FYI : The show stated that the 3 divers survived, and that 2 of the divers are alive today. They did not say when/how the 3rd diver died.

In 1994, I read Grigori Medvedev's book, 'The Truth about Chernobyl', published in 1991 and I reread it again yesterday. He is a nuclear engineer that worked on building that plant. Mazin's series was not a documentary but drawn from actual events and attitudes at the time.

They should be charged with crimes against humanity, they irradiated half Europe. And covered that, instead of telling what happened. They exposed millions to their crap and now they have the nerve to criticize a movie?

Just because comrade doesn't like or appreciate how an actual event is portrayed doesn't mean he's right. Remember that the official death toll is still officially 31. We know that's not true.
