Very useful and worthy film, which is quite surprising, since it was made by the Americans (because of their dislike for everything that happened in the USSR). Fortunately, here they avoided reconstruction of events on the control room-4 that were disastrous for films of this kind. It was this that significantly spoiled the other films about the Chernobyl accident, because they gave too emotional and, quite possibly, incorrect assessments to people and their characters (as, for example, in Dyatlov’s German “Minutes before a catastrophe” they put a downright villain, - angels).
The main plus is informational content and documentary shots. Shooting a smoking reactor, a red forest, a story about measuring radiation levels, showing the liquidation itself and the construction of the Sarcophagus. Another question is that they used Soviet materials taken by courageous operators who were not afraid to climb the roof of the fourth power unit, together with the liquidators themselves, who cleaned it of graphite fragments. A huge number of interviews with participants of events are also a significant plus. Particular attention is paid to the unique work of Igor Kostin, a photographer and cameraman, the conversation with which takes up a considerable share of the film. Of course, it was not without the “cranberries” in the form of a discussion on whether the liquidators were given vodka, but on the general background it looks like a trifle.
Considerable emphasis in the film is made on the technique for elimination, on the people themselves, called "biorobot", at least some protection that they could use. Especially memorable is shooting on the roof and shots taken from a helicopter on the first morning after the accident. Tula miners who dug a tunnel under the station. The dedication of these people, who understand that if they do not, no one will do it at all.
But when viewing it becomes sad. And it’s a shame that this really great country has collapsed. After all, then hundreds of thousands of people were sent to eliminate the consequences of the largest radiation accident during the entire existence of mankind. Not everyone knew how it would affect them, not everyone knew about the effect of radiation on the human body. Is it possible now? Will someone go to such a hell? The answer is one. NOT. Because there is no single spirit (even if it is sometimes out of fear of power), there is no such enthusiasm on which life was built during the times of the Union. For comparison, remember how the whole summer `2010 fought only with fires that are not compared with the work at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, where a person could be less than a minute, so as not to get damage to health, not compatible with life.
Killed city. Yes, just the city itself. But pay attention to him - a small, neat, clean. Where there were schools, and hotels, swimming pools. Just a cozy city for living. Of course, there is no guarantee that if this accident had not happened, he would not have become the same as all the small young towns - a gathering of various boors. But then he was. A beautiful city. In a completely different time.
What do we have now? Unhealthy excitement on the basis of radiation disasters and toys "Stalker", excursions to Pripyat, crowds of youngsters who played enough at the same "Stalker" and want to see firsthand the place where the game was designed, graffiti spoiling the picture of the city. Many see here only entertainment. But it is not. This is a memory, this is an experience. Negative - yes. but still experience, which, perhaps, will allow to bypass similar situations in the future.
Events at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant are a kind of monument to the USSR with its negative and positive sides. Of course, the experiment itself and its course are hard to call something good even for science, but the elimination of the consequences of its failure is the personification of all that was considered the strength of the Union, the courage and dedication of the people who then lived. And, looking at it, it is impossible to blame the system somehow. Yes, there were cons. But only the very "system" was able to grow and educate these people. People who were able to defeat fascism. People who were able to eliminate the consequences of an accident of such magnitude. People who, in spite of everything, believed in a bright future, even in the allotted 40 seconds fighting radiation on the roof of the 4th power unit ...
In this situation, the system, operators or designers of the NPP itself or RBMK reactors of this type cannot be blamed. Not. The reason is precisely the totality of circumstances. Consequences - the same set of various factors. Including modernization and change of the RBMK themselves in order to eliminate the “end effect” and prevent such consequences. This is our story. Therefore, a big thanks to the creators of the film for an adequate look and statement of facts, and not speculation and subjective opinions.
