у истории русской страницы хватит для тех, кто в пехотном строю смело входили в чужие столицы, но возвращались в страхе в свою.

The authenticity of Chernobyl didn’t just come from research, but the shooting locations. The show was shot near the real-life events in Lithuania and Ukraine. Even the crew were tied to the area’s tragic history. “Many of the local Ukrainian and Lithuanian crew members had grandparents, even parents, that had been part of this,” Ihre says.
The exterior façade of the damaged Chernobyl reactor was, in particular, created in a distinct way at a film studio. “They made the front of the film studio into the reactor. When you went inside the reactor, it was the actual film studio inside,” Ihre says. “When we approached the façade, you could actually enter the reactor, you could enter the core, and it became a maze of corridors and rooms.” The ability to take the camera from inside to out was a major boost to making shots of environments feel more believable.

Well, i have to do it. Really. That’s what happened in my country and my grandfather was one of those people who built a sarcophagus over the reactor. So Chernobyl tragedy affected my family like many others.

this is stupid and sentimental and overly personal but: with the last episode of chernobyl coming, i don’t want it to end. i want to keep being seen, feeling seen, i want my reality and my home and my memories and my parents’ and grandparents’ reality to appear on screen again, the suffering and the history and the tragedy of this bitter country and its people. it’s a degree of respect and admiration and careful attention to mundane visual detail and grand moral qualities that i have never seen before even in any form of contemporary russian, let alone western media. it is painful and heartbreaking and horrifying, and it is ours. we need to see ourselves through others’ eyes without feeling humiliated or invisible for once, since we cannot do it through our own eyes, with our intrinsic bias and our government’s bullshit clouding the vision. it is, suddenly, a flash of understanding oneself through recognition. oh, you think as you see the carpets and the glasses and the houseplants and the cutlery, the panel blocks and the clothing and the solemn songs, the utterly despicable lies and the utterly selfless courage, oh, this is all mine and i have been carrying it with me, always, unthinkingly, and it is heavy.
