Chernobyl TV Series Characters in Real Life 

When you realize vasilys birthday was 2 months earlier and he was only 25, you will realize that he did not deserve that.

Absolutely terrifying when you realise some are still alive. To those of us in the newer generations it seems so long ago. Looking at how recent some of these disasters are is astonishing

Uncanny how similar some of the actors look with their real life counter part

Akimov died 5 days after his birthday. Damn.

It’s crazy that alexandar is still alive even that he was in the reactor hall

They really did send Sitnikov to his death...That's disgraceful

Ananenko and Bespalov are still alive. With Baranov, They literally saved the world.

It’s sad that they couldn’t recover the one worker from where he was. But it’s great where they made a memorial for him inside the plant

Respect to the heroes!

2 things that should never happen. A repeat in nuclear disasters of this scale. And forgetting those who sacrificed themselves to save the world. Even though we never knew them personally we are all grateful for doing what the did!

Mikhail Gorbachev passed away 30 August 2022

I watched the mini series because I was always aware of Chernobyl but if you asked me why I was wary of Chernobyl I couldn't tell you, we just knew it is a place of death. After watching the mini series I am now more aware and subsequently more afraid. Nuclear power is a god tier level technology, and it should be handled as much. Quite literally with great power comes great responsibility. Although a fatal lesson, it is a lesson the rest of the world hopefully has learned from and will do better, with such awesome access to this level of power, we must always be vigilant. ALWAYS.

Come on people Wikipedia does have some uses: Gen. Nikolai Tarakanov (19 May 1934-) (age 87) Viktor Bryukhanov (December 1, 1935 - October 13, 2021) (age 85) Nikolai Fomin (1937-) (Age 84)

Every victory comes at the cost.

Vladimir Pikalov died exactly on my birthday, I didn't know that until now. It is very sad and painful to experience this

1:50 pause it

Nice work 👍

To be honest some of other videos have more views than yours but they are not that much perfect and informatic than yours....Keep it up👍👍

THANK YOU! THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A VIDEO.

Bryukhanov died in Kiev at 13th October 2021. He was born 1st December 1935.

Bryukhanov is 85 Years old Good Video :)

Good video just one mistake Alexander yuvchenko died on 2008

General Nikolai Tarakanov's age is 88 today.

They all look spot on, except for Leonid Toptunov, the actor doesnt even look like him, blonde, slender face...other than that, great casting!

There's error in 2:50, Yuvchenko died in 2008 from leukemia. Wikipedia that

you see photos pop up of common folk that look like celebrities, here are celebrities that look like common folk who were just doing their job, except well some (looking at you Dyatlov)

For anyone who wonders the song is called the sleeping prophet

Dear heroes of the chernobyl

I haven't watched it yet, maybe I should.

Would love to know what choral piece you set to the video.

Boris stolchurk STILL WORK THERE TO 1986 TO 2019

Impressive. Very interesting. The serie is great.

They nailed Akimov

Bryukhanov died at 85

now you look like the minister of coal :'D

Alexander Yuvchenko died in 2008 at the age of 47

The compilation of sacrifice (death) " except dyatlov is hateful" and Experience (alive)

I pay my respects and sympathies to those who gave their lives to prevent a global fallout and help containing the remaining radiation from the power plant.

To all sacrificed theirselves to save continent. Turkey also affected from radiation wave coming from Chernobyl Power Plant but now I see they tried to fix it with all they had. Respect from Turkey!

It is quite sad knowing that some of these people are still dying today. Bryukhanov died last year..

Of the Chernobyl 3, as confirmed in the HBO Show ending, 2 are alive today, and one died to radiation or old age, probably a mix.

That music sound like #Gylala Countryballs School!

İts very impressive boris stolyarchuk is still alive

4:44 were these firefighters who were first responders?

THIS VIDEO ITS SO SAD FOR WATCH, BUT THATS GRATES MENS WHO WANTS TELL THE TRUE TO THE PEOPLE AROUND THERE..

Александр Ювченко скончался в 2008 году от последствий большой дозы облучения

Hey, good video, but Alexsandr Yuvchenko died in 2008...

What about Valery Khodemchuk? (The Guy Who's Body that's Buried in the Plant)

Unfortunately, Bryukhanov is no longer alive

Yuvchenko isn’t alive and wasn’t either 3 years ago. He died 2009 in leukemia.

True aleksander yuvchenko died in 2008

Sad about toptunov

4:43 I'm pretty sure those guys are alive. 2 of them.

I though Akimov and Sitnikov were the same actor!

Akimov Died 5 Days After His birthday 1986

Akimov last words : i do all thing good i dont know how it happens . Toptunov last words : i do all what i could . Dyatlov last words : that reactor should not have been put into gear at all . (Sorry for english)

Bryukhanov is 86 today, his age isn't unknown
