One Good Man Chernobyl - Every Lie We Tell Incurs A Debt To The Truth - Legasov's Speech with Vichnaya Pamyat
"Boris
“Do you anything about this town, Chernobyl?
Valera
“Not really, no.”
Boris
It was mostly Jews & Poles.”
The Jews were killed in pogroms, and Stalin forced the Poles out.
And then the Nazis came and killed whoever was left.
But after the war people came to live here anyway. They knew the ground under their feet was soaked in blood, but they didn’t care.
Dead Jews, Dead Poles. But not them. No one ever thinks it’s going to happen to them. And here we are.”
Valera
“How much time?”
Boris
“Maybe a year.”
They call it a (coughs) They call it a long illness.”
It doesn’t seem very long to me.
I know you told me and I believed you. But time passed and I thought, it wouldn’t happen to me.
I wasted it. I wasted it all for nothing.”
Valera
“For nothing?”
“Do you remember that first morning when I first called you how unconcerned I was? I don’t believe much that comes out of the Kremlin but when they told me they were putting me in charge of the cleanup and said it wasn’t serious, I believed them. You know why?”
Valera
“Because they put you in charge”
Boris
“Yeah.
I’m an inconsequential man, Valera. That’s all I’ve ever been. I hoped that one day it would matter, but it didn’t. I just stood next to people who did.”
Valera
“There are other scientists like me anyone of them could have done what I did. But you did everything we asked for everything we needed. Men, material, lunar rovers. Who else could have done these things. They heard me but they listened to you. Of all the ministers and all the deputies the entire congregation of obedient fools they mistakenly sent the one good man. For God’s sake, Boris, you were the one who mattered most.”
Boris
Green caterpillar on hand.
Ah, it’s beautiful."
In 2006 Mikhail Gorbachev wrote , “The nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl… was perhaps the true cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union."
Will the COVD-19 pandemic and the efforts to cover it up be the cause of the collapse of the United States?
Meeting with Gorbechev. Ulana Khomyuk : We estimate between two and four megatons. Everything within a 30 kilometer radius will be completely destroyed, including the three remaining reactors at Chernobyl. The entirety of the radioactive material in all fo the cores will be ejected at force and dispersed by a massive shock wave, which will extend approximately 200 kilometers and likely be fatal to the entire population of Kiev, as well as a portion of Minsk. The release of radiation will be severe, and will impact all of Soviet Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Byelorussia, as well as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, most of East Germany.
“Have you ever spent time with miners?”
“No.”
“My advice tell the truth. These men work in the dark. They see everything.”
“We need to install a liquid nitrogen heat exchanger underneath this concrete pad. There’s no way to reach it from the interior of the building. We have to get at it from underground.
Mining chief,
“And what’s above the pad?”
“The core of the nuclear reactor.”
Mining chief,
“Melting down.”
Final trial scene of Chernobyl
HBO Chernobyl, Valery Legasov vs KGB Chairman Charkov -- Episode 5
KGB Chairman, “When the bullet hits you skull what will it matter why? No one’s getting shot Legsov. The whole world saw you and it would be embarrassing to kill you now… You will live as long as you have but not as a scientist, not anymore.”
Valery Legasov,
“And if I refuse.”
KGB,
“Why worry about something that isn’t going to happen?”
Valery,
“Why worry about something that isn’t going to happen? Ah, that’s perfect. They should put that on our money.”
"What is the cost of lies"
"Valery Legasov took his own life at the age of 51 on April 6, 1988 exactly two years after the explosion at Chernobyl.
The audio tapes of Legasov’s memoirs were circulated among the Soviet scientific community..His suicide made it impossible for them to be ignored.
In the aftermath of his death, Soviet officials finally acknowledged the design flaws of the BBMK nuclear reactor.
The reactors were retrofitted to prevent an accident like Chernobyl from happening again.
Legasov was aided by dozens of scientist who worked tirelessly along side him at Chernobyl
Some spoke out against the official account of events and were subject to denunciation, arrest and imprisonment.

If you watched "Chernobyl" on HBO watch it again.
If you don't have HBO get it. Just this one series is worth the price.
