Broadcasting and distribution of the US cable television station HBO drama “Chernobyl” (5 episodes), which has been revered in Europe and the United States and won the Emmy Awards this year, has started in Japan. “Too real and cruel” “Looking at the moment of world destruction”. On the net, these impressions fly. What exactly is that? A reporter based in Moscow who has experience in coverage of the former Soviet Union will review it to the extent that it does not “spoil”.

The accident handling was carried out by a worker called “Liquididattle” with the nuances of “overcoming” and “liquidation”, and fire extinguishing work that dropped sand, boron and lead from the helicopter.
