100% on loving Stellan Skarsgard (Boris) - he is amazing. A big reason I'm hoping we see Andor eventually! Boris's character arc is very good, and one thing I do love is the beats they have in the show with people stepping up. There are so many leaders only worried about protecting themselves, but a nice reminder that were people who tried to protect others.

Three workers Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bespalov, and Boris Baranov that entered flooded areas beneath Reactor 4 to open valves and help prevent a possible steam explosion. Many reports claimed they died shortly afterward from radiation exposure. In reality, all three survived the mission. Ananenko and Bespalov lived for decades afterward, while Baranov died in 2005 from heart-related causes, not acute radiation sickness.

Imagine being one of the nurses and having to remove the radioactive clothing from the patients, transferring the radiation to yourself. Of course Russia claims none of them died from radiation or the cancer they got thereafter. I'm sure that's an accurate statistic... Edit : Nick, I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought Minsk was in Russia based on David from Friends haha to be fair, Belarus wasn't an independent country at this time and was part of the USSR.

In 1986, 400 rubles probably would have been equal to several hundred dollars, but the Soviet ruble wasn't on the gold standard so it was never directly convertible to western currencies. Probably anywhere between 500 USD and 2000 USD in today's purchasing power.

The actor who plays Boris (Stellan Skarsgård) won the Golden Globe for this performance. He's been in a million things, including The Hunt for Red October, Good Will Hunting, Pirates of the Caribbean, Baron Harkonnen in Dune and Luthen Rael in Andor.

I think you guys forgot this takes place in communist USSR. "Do you think there were people who refused to leave?" Everyone left, you had no choice. "Why were they just staring at the explosion?" Information was kept secret. They likely knew it was a power plant and most likely didn't know it was even nuclear. The government also didn't tell them or warn them of the dangers. You also at one time said, "Do you think they take it to the press?". I think you forgot that there is no free press. You only got the government narrative through the state media. This also shows how bad the cover up was. They were slow to react in order to protect everyones individual job and blame others in the command tree. Human life was more or less expendable. Only until they saw it first hand and the radiation was detected outside their borders did they start to take real action. They didnt want the world or their people to know an accident occured, but once the outside world discovered it was gameover. This is said to be the beginning of the end for the USSR.

Nick: “Do you think they were told no pets?” Episode 4: “Hehehehe….”
