The chemistry scientist and first deputy director of the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. Right after the accident, he was called to Chernobyl to liquidate the aftermath of the exposure. It was him who decided to pour a mix of boron and sand onto the burning reactor. He took his own life two years after the accident, leaving audiotapes with pr...
A wife of a fireman called to extinguish the fire. She was pregnant but still went to the Moscow’s hospital where he was transferred to and spent his last days by his side. She didn’t know this exposure was dangerous and, consequently, her baby died shortly after birth. Ignatenko still lives in Kiev and eventually managed to have another, healthy c...
Lyudmila’s husband took a day off on April 26, 1986 - they planned to have a picnic in the countryside. However, during that fateful night, he was called to put out the fire at Chernobyl and never came back home. Lyudmila held her husband’s shoes at the funeral, because it wasn’t possible to put them on his swollen feet.
When the Chernobyl catastrophe happened, Shcherbina was a Deputy Chairman of the Soviet government and was sent to arrange the liquidation of the accident aftermath.

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but due to having a radiation syndrome and multiple letters penned by human rights p...
People who witnessed the accident first-hand criticized the series for showing Bryukhanov one-sided - namely, as a jerk. The real Bryukhanov didn’t understand the scale of the tragedy. It was the first nuclear disaster in Soviet history and nobody knew how to act. Then again, Bryukhanov was clearly afraid to report the true circumstances of the cat...
According to one of his subordinates, head engineer Fomin was not a ‘thief’ at all (which was how he was portrayed in the series). Still, he was also sentenced to 10 years in prison, like Dyatlov and Bryukhanov. During the investigation, he was taken to a pretrial detention center where, according to media, he tried to commit suicide. He is still a...
This senior reactor control engineer was in the control panel room when the first blast rocked the building. He was the one who tried to object to Dyatlov proceeding with the testing, because the reactor was not ready. While trying to restart the feedwater flow into the reactor, he was exposed to a deadly dose of radiation and died several weeks af...
Gorbachev’s portrayal in the show was one of the most criticized topics in the Russian media - mostly for being one-sided and grotesque. Some commenters said he looked more like Stalin in the series, a comparison he was far from (just to remind you - the Chernobyl catastrophe happened on the eve of glasnost and perestroika, initiated by Gorbachev)....
