Zhukov nailed it when he said they'd never forgive the USSR for defeating Hitler

i think abt this a lot bc honestly. real. the way chernobyl is framed as the USSR purposely killing everyone and not how the soviets sacricifed themselves ONCE AGAIN to prevent europe from turning into an irradiated wasteland actually makes me INSANE
God is that what the show did? I didn't watch it because I figured it was going to be anti-communist trash but I didn't think they'd go that far.
The show is loosely based on Alexejevich's telling of the whole incident and yeah, she's a fervent anti-commie. Damn, Legasov was a convinced communist who didn't just go "our whole system is fucked". The whole caricature of an obnoxious old commie councilman also lol
It wasn't as anticommunist as i expected but that's not saying much
