38 years since the accident at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant
On the night of April 26, 1986, the biggest disaster in the history of nuclear energy has happened. At first, government of the ussr tried to hide the scale of the tragedy, until the increase in the radioactive background in other countries caused concern.
Historians emphasize the political responsibility of the communist regime, which put the lives and health of millions of citizens at risk for the sake of ideological interests.
At first, the blame for the disaster was placed only on the staff. However, in subsequent years, explanations of the causes of the accident were revised. The main reasons are considered to be an incorrectly designed reactor, the production of which the soviet union tried to make cheaper. This caused insufficient awareness of the personnel about the principle of operation of the equipment. And because of the desire of the Soviet authorities to speed up the experiment and its results, the test program was not properly agreed upon.

My article about why you should keep in mind this tragedy alongside with other ussr crimes, when you decide to play russian video games:
Little reminding: Chornobyl is a Ukrainian toponym, so it is logical to pronounce/write it according to the rules of the Ukrainian language.

The production designer came off HBO's Chernobyl and that explains some of the mood of the show

Now that I've finished the Terror I really want to watch Chernobyl but I'm afraid the combined allure of Jared Harris and Con O'Neill's voices will cause my ovaries to explode
