“The team hypothesizes that at the time of the accident, frogs in the area that happened to be darker suddenly had an advantage in the new extremes of this environment, meaning they were more likely to survive and reproduce. After three and a half decades and more than 10 generations of frogs, dark skin is now the norm in the exclusion zone.”

“There was nothing sane about Chernobyl. What happened there, what happened after. Even the good we did, all of it. All of it… Madness.” - Valery Legasov, 1:23:45

First pic: sweet desperate Boris, Tarakanov, Valery's cigarettes and the vodka he refuses to drink. That pic and the sixth one are the only ones, I think, we haven't seen before.

They were looking at each other, their heads lazily lying on the wall behind them. They understood each other. As two scientists, they understood.
Ulana blinked a few times, looking at Valery.
Their eyes met.
They were looking into each other's deep eyes, Valery feeling a tingling sensation in his stomach. He couldn't keep a straight face anymore and as unnoticeably as it happened his lips curved into a small smile. It lasted only for a part of a second, but for what it was worth, it was a smile...
Okay, I probably need a therapist, but I really see a small smile forming on his face. Am I right or am I just way too in love with them?

On April 27, 1988, Academician Valery A. Legasov died by suicide at 52. He is most well-known for his service as chief scientific advisor of the Chernobyl Commission.
This man’s contribution to the liquidation of Chernobyl is immeasurable. Yet, instead of a solid, unquestioned legacy that honors Legasov for both his accomplishments and his humanity, his name is continually erased from history.
After the release of the HBO series in 2019, Legasov was finally known to the world as one of the heroes of Chernobyl (sadly, the show came out a year after Legasov’s wife, Margarita Mikhailovna Legasova, passed away). Still, there are active campaigns to discredit him and spread misinformation about his involvement at Chernobyl.
These are the dregs of the campaign that drove him to suicide- an orchestrated effort by the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Kurchatov Institute to discredit and humiliate Legasov. They did so knowing of his radiation-induced illnesses and his deteriorating mental health.
The Kurchatov Insitute was never the same after Legasov’s death. It went from the Russian institute that helped Ukraine liquidate Chernobyl to the pro-war organization that renounced their ties with Ukraine altogether.
The Kurchatov Institute can go ahead and destroy their legacy. They won’t destroy Valery Legasov’s.

"And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: what is the cost of lies?” - Valery Legasov, Vichnaya Pamyat

So when I first came across this Russian movie site run by geeks and fans, Dmitri's picture (top) was the first publicity shot I found; as you can tell from my recent Chernobyl posts, this was the first of many to give me severe Stendhal syndrome. 😍
The last pic of Ulana in front of that car is well-known, it's from the last scene of episode five where she stands by Boris' side and they gaze at Valery, their silent goodbyes reflected in their unshed tears. There might be speculation that there's an alternate version of this scene where Ulana stands by the car without Boris, a deviation from the original script that was also reflected in the scene where Boris and Valery are being driven to the trial alone (the original script version had Ulana joining them - but having Boris and Valery alone in the car, not exchanging a single word, worked better on screen, didn't it?). It is my belief, however, that the photographer simply had Emily Watson lean against the car alone just because she was pretty like that, and he wanted to capture the moment, the light o her face, the stillness of it all. I might be wrong but... we'll never know.
As for the rest of her publicity stills they're shots I've never seen before, and she looks badass and determined in all of them.
I'm saving the best for last since Dmitri's photo is obviously my favourite. I think it's the only publicity still we have of Matthew Needham as Dmitri who was later to portray Larys Strong in House of the Dragon. That portrait of his worried face in front of the red alarm is so representative of his character, and I totally wish someone would write a decent fic about him and Ulana, something I would gladly devour.
[Dmitri wakes up Ulana with a thermos full of coffee] "You work too hard." "It's Saturday [...] why did you come in? "I work too hard."
In other words, "I look up to you, I want to work round the clock with you, I love you."

"she wouldn't say that" moment in chernobyl is when ulana khomyuk (who isn't a real person, she's a fictional character meant to represent numerous soviet scientists) says that lyudmilla ignatenko's fetus saved her mother's life by absorbing all the radiation lyudmilla was exposed to from being around her husband, & the reason she wouldn't say that is because she's a nuclear scientist & that's not how nuclear science works. she would know better. unfortunately the show writers did not.
