It shows how the Soviet government did more to divide its people than unite them as true comrades. Initially you can tell Boris was trying to throw his weight around because he may have thought Legasov was trying to undermine him. When he fully realizes not only is that not Legasov's intention, but also the severity of the situation and how poorly the rest of the Government has been reacting to it, that's when he becomes friendly toward Legasov and the generals on-site seeing as they're the only ones truly doing what needs to be done to save not just the Soviet union, but the entire world potentially.

yes but you are downplaying it. the Swedes had such high readings that they thought they had been nuked, they reset their gauges like 3 times or smth and then realized the severity of what happened.

@Leafsdude_ Год назад

@@13gan "The problem with climate change is that none of the model of it is accurate." Actually, pretty much all the models have been accurate. Look at "Climate model projections compared to observations", where Gavin Schmidt compares models dating back to 1981 to observed data. Heck, just look at James Hansen's 1988 Scenario B, which almost perfectly follows CO2 trends, and has predicted temperature trends as well as a result. "In fact, based on what the climate alarmists have said" It's not alarmist if it's a fact. "back in 2000-2010, several island nations would have been underwater by now." Please cite these "alarmists" and present the published, peer-reviewed scientific papers they based their predictions on. To note, documentaries and newspaper clippings are not peer-reviewed scientific papers. "As such, even if climate change are based on facts, not only is the credibility of it is damaged but also its apparent that it is not the whole picture on how the earth climate system works." Climate change _is_ based on facts, as any and all demonstrable evidence supports the scientific theory. In reality, the credibility has been damaged by groups like Koch, who fund "thinktanks" like Heartland Institute, which intentionally muddy the waters so that gullible individuals reject the same process and methodology that gave them all the technology in the world today. Worse, they have the gull to call themselves "skeptics" when in reality they are nothing more than contrarians.

@RushyoRifle Год назад

@@Leafsdude_ The fact that excessive CO2 causes the earth to retain more heat is not in debate however the predictions of how this increase in temperature will affect the earth as a whole are not entirely known, some models predict more catastrophic results others milder results, unfortunately the politicians on both "sides" always muddy everything some deny, some act like the sky is falling and none of it helps. As a moderate on this issue both sides are quite frustrating to deal with. These "green" people act like all we need is more wind turbines and solar panels, but because they are both intermittent power sources they will never be able to be used as our primary source of power production they only practical solution is to diversify and nuclear has to be a major component. France actually has some of the lowest CO2 emissions largely because 91% of their power is nuclear and France also touts a very competitive cost of living and they are seeing an increase in immigration and despite Germany investment in green about 50% of their energy is fossil fuel so I think a middle ground between the two would be good for America. Unfortunately China and India the two largest producer of CO2 has shown no interest in green technology and Africa is going to see a huge increase in industry powered almost exclusively by fossil fuels, so I absolutely think the West should do its part, but even if we go super green the net amount of CO2 produce global will still be as high or more so than today 30 years from now, so along side green tech we need to also prepare for continued climate change with things like storm barriers and food stores.

@Corristo89 Год назад

Gorbachev did the right thing by sending Legasov and Shcherbina to Chernobyl: One had the political authority and commanding presence to get things done, one had the understanding of how extensive the catastrophe was and how to get it under control. Legasov lacked authority, Shcherbina lacked the required knowledge. Shows you how you can still accomplish something with totally contrasting people on your team, when each team member knows what he or she is doing and everyone agrees on what the goal is.

@meetbpatel5065 7 месяцев назад

Gorbachev was one of the most reasonable guy from USSR prospective

@CumminsHerb 12 дней назад

He also sent Shcherbina so it could be an excuse to kill him as such radiation exposure on the basis of an exposed reactor core is suicidal. It happens when there are disagreements in communism. The premise for communism is lies, just like how the series opens with the powerful quote, “What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we’ll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.” Lying becomes such commonplace that through several lies about the reactor's completion, safety tests, and procedures, the reactor consequently explodes. Chernobyl has a larger moral lesson than just nuclear reactor explosions. Let me know what your views are - I'm happy to discuss further. Thanks.

@KnapfordMaster98 Год назад

@@ReichLife I don't know. Breschnev? Andropov? Chernenko? They haven't been known really for their open communication here and honest view on situations. Khrushchev might have taken it really serious I guess and trying to solve the matter. But it would have been also a lot more secretly under his rule I think. However, it's not only about the leaders which the Soviet Union had. I am also talking about potential leaders. Like if Gorbachev never became head of the state and someone else would have ruled in his place. Maybe there might have been someone who would have done a better job. But I don't think there are many within the communist party which could have done it. Because in my opinion one characteristic that sets Gorbachev appart from many others around him, even with all his flaws, is that he could recognise when he didn't know something. He could step back and listen. Take advice and actually reflect on his decisions. So many things could have ended far worse if there was a hard-liner in place. From Tschernobyl to Afghanistan and of course the End of the Soviet Union. I am not trying to say Gorbachev was a perfect statesman and he made plenty of errors - mainly that he could "save" or "transition" the Soviet Union trough reforms. But still. He probably was well the right man for the wrong job.

Meanwhile Legasov is genuinely just trying to get all the facts straight so that they can solve the damn problem and stop a potentially apocalyptic catastrophe from escalating.

1:40 this is the start of his explanation and theory but when he said " the equivalent of holding 4 million chest x-rays in his hand" i got chills because this board meeting is too naïve and arrogant to be believe that their reactor has exploded, they want to believe everything is fine and here is this man telling them " yo we is fucked"

No one knows that an RBMK1000 reactor can also make high quality Plutonium239 to make atomic bombs..!! These were VERY unstable when at low power…. Xenon is a metal that is made from Uranium235 after its fully burned through…. The safety test that Dyatlov carried out had his workers STALL the fourth reactor before pushing “A3-5” to lower MOST of the control rods back in place…. The graphite tips on the control rods caused a SPIKE in reactivity and caused the two huge explosions that caused a FOUR MILLION kilogram lid to FLY for TEN seconds like it was a paperweight….

@h.a.9880 Год назад

The scene is so perfectly scripted and acted. Scherbina, that has no clue what he's talking about, shares the information that was given to him. He's boastful, confident, cause he knows, they wouldn't put him in charge if it was serious. Then Legasov can't contain himself any longer, he voices his concerns and point out the wrongfulness of the infos given by Scherbina. And Scherbina glows with hate for being shamed in front of Gorbachev like that... intentionally or not. Skarsgard and Harris play off one another wonderfully.

@maximusjackassicus3042 11 месяцев назад

Just imagine the scale of the disaster is Legasov hadn't spoken up and the Soviet government bureaucrats had kept on with contain and cover up plans and had waited another month or six months before actually trying to solve the problem. How many millions would have died, what condition would the world be in if that reactor had continued to pump out radiation unabated.

This scene reminds me of so many staff meetings I've been in. First, you have Legasov, the junior technical guy brought in to a meeting he's never been to because his boss' boss (or however many bosses above that Scherbina is) needs a guy to answer any random technical questions that Gorbachev might ask but that Scherbina believes aren't actually important for Gorbachev (or even himself for that matter) to worry about because they usually aren't, who doesn't yet know the 'proper' meeting etiquette of only disagreeing with your boss' statements to their boss in private either before or after the meeting. Then you have Scherbina, the mid-level manager who's pissed off that one of his random junior underlings is making a big deal about something that in his mind 'of course' isn't that big of a deal based on his more senior underling's reports and can be handled within his own division and that the Big Boss doesn't need to hear about because it'll just mean way too much attention from the top and is making him look stupid in front of all the other managers. And finally you have Gorbachev, the office head who has had his interest piqued because one of his manager's underlings finally spoke up about a problem instead of sweeping it under the rug, and he has to treat it as a serious issue in the off chance that this isn't just a junior employee jumping the gun.

@dangottlieb5383 6 месяцев назад

I want to mention something no one else has in the comments that I think is noteworthy. It happens at about 4:02 after Gorbachev says "...from the description of a rock." Watch how the camera shifts to Scherbina and we see a very subtle grin on his face. He thinks Gorbachev is ridiculing Legasov, which satisfies him because at that point it appears Legasov is showing him up and undermining his authority. In the Soviet system that might, in former times under different leaders, have signaled Legasov's arrest or at least the end of his career. Contrast Scherbina's initial pleasure at what he expects to be a dressing down of Legasov by Gorbachev with his bewilderment a moment later when Gorbachev asks him if he knows how a nuclear reactor works. I think he's shocked that Gorbachev would act so rationally when the system he has risen in was so based upon absurd posturing and corrupt decision making. I just think these moments capture the shock of a Soviet apparatchik confronted for once with intelligence. Only later, in the helicopter do we get a sense of how he resents Legasov for this embarrassing encounter in the Central Committee. Brilliantly acted by the fellow playing Scherbina, in my opinion.

Gorbachev was not a good or nice man, but he sure wasn't an idiot either. In a room full of known lickspittles and asskissers, the one man he's never met tells him something completely opposite to what everyone else keeps assuring him is the truth, and punctuates it by describing the consequences of inaction, despite his superior trying to shut him up. Instead of ignoring him as an alarmist or opportunist, he sends the guy off to check it out for himself, along with the brown-nosing boss trying to silence him. The only good decision made by USSR leadership during the entire chain of events, and it quite likely saved the world.
