We have a very well studied incident, with all the actions of all the people involved studied by the minute. We have all the protocols in English as well. Veryfied and cross verified. Many hours of video and audio recordings. Interviews and accounts of participants.
And yet these guys distort the facts to sqeeze in an anti-Soviet agenda.
People volonteered to die there knowing the danger because they were preventing greater harm to others. And these series just diminishes their heroism. Smears both professionals, soldiers, miners and all the Soviet people.
Because USSR is evil, gloomy, vodka drinking gulag with psychopats in any post higher than a janitor. That's the basic impression these series try to give you.
Adapting history always requires results in modifications and the target is authenticity instead of complete pedantic accuracy.
As someone from Eastern block I feel like Chernobyl captures live in those times with authenticity - it somehow manages to capture attitude of population and their leaders to the point that's eerie for anyone who lived though it.
Perhaps step back and try seeing what the story is trying to show/warn about instead of being lost in checklist pedantry.
