"The real tragedy is the 'Chernobyl' series is ideological manipulation by HBO," the party — a splinter group formed by an extremist fringe of Russia's traditional Communist Party — says. "The television series about the dramatic events of April 1986 is an ideological tool designed to defame and demonizes the image of the Soviet government and Soviet people."

HBO They can never erase the truth 😒

HBO Of course they do. They should talk to voxdotcom about how to position their objections so that HBO appears sexist, racist or homophobic. They could use the fact that there were no black people on the show. That might work.

HBO Not surprised. Truth hurts. Congratulations to HBO and the team of Chernobyl.
