Show, podcast 5-stars!
I was graduating high school and soon to be in the military when the Chernobyl accident occurred. Within two-years, I’d find myself stationed in Northen Bavaria defending the West German-Czech border and just a day’s drive from Chernobyl. Until now, I had no idea the extent to which radiation had made its way into Western and Southern Europe, nor did I know just how close the plant came to total destruction which would’ve instantly killed 10’s of millions and many more than that over time. How could I have known? The flow of information was stifled by the Soviets. This is a highly informative, remarkably dramatic story! And I agree with Mazin that the subservient Russians were uniquely qualified for the kind of suicidal heroism required to ‘solve’ the crisis. This probably could not have happened in America. But if it did, we could not have done what had to be done to mitigate the damage.

Having this commentary available is so helpful to the story. The background and resources where the information is found is astounding and very well done. They point out the lack of information and the real life events that occurred. It really is eye opening. Well done!

I was curious since I remembered little about this moment in history. After watching the first episode and listening to this podcast, I’m ashamed it’s taken me this long to pay attention . Historically-respectful story telling at its finest. I’m already mourning the end of the series!!
