HBO Max airs "most obvious Hasbara ever", asked to leave streaming industry
you just wait, it will be lib canon akin to chernobyl "what really happened™"
I think the worst part is that they try to follow the Soviet reports, while putting an anti-Soviet spin on it. They character assassinate Dyatlov, like how the Soviets initial investigation blamed the operators, while still exaggerating the victims and portraying the systemic issues, some real and some made up (like how they portrayed higher ups like the Coal Minister as obnoxious suits, when the Coal Minister was a career coal miner who was genuinely respected).
INSAG-7 is very different.
Basically everything about Legasov and Dyatlov ends up false because they're trying to hold up those contradictory positions.
Legasov was no hero, he covered up the reactor flaws. And he didn't even hide it for the Party, he was mostly hiding it from the Party.
