This show was absolutely amazing and showed the world the complete truth and how one man saved the entire world!!! We should thank the group of women and men who saved us all from Europe to America!

Careful, this is what the DNC is supporting....

Yes, banning a TV series would show everyone how tolerant and open for discussing things the communists really are.

Soviets used to edit past events by removing/blacking out old party members from photos and magazines who had been designated 'enemies of the State' in never ending purges... There is no MemoryHole, time to face the music. Russia can't sensor this massive fuck-up Chernobyl

Chernobyl engineer says HBO show Is full of Russian ''vodka' and 'KGB' stereotypesPro-Kremlin media have criticized the series, with some describing it as pro-western propaganda. 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. 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? 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.
