Extended reading: About Chernobyl
Producer rusley mentioned that the inspiration of the play came from Chernobyl. What kind of TV play is Chernobyl?
HBO's thriller Mini drama Chernobyl tells about the 1986 nuclear reactor disaster, which turned a large area of the Soviet Union into an empty city. At that time, the incident was covered up by the Soviet Union. Now, more than 30 years after the tragic events, we know more about the series of events that led to the disaster, the damage caused by the disaster and how it killed people.
No one in the play is black or white. Chernobyl enlarges all kinds of small roles in the disaster and reminds today's audience of that not far away but vague history.
The play also caused a lot of controversy in Russia. Some Russian media believe that the play truly reproduces history, while others believe that Chernobyl is suspected of deliberately discrediting the Soviet Union.
