Chernobyl
dramatizes the story of the
April 1986 nuclear plant disaster
which occurred in the
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic
,
Soviet Union
, telling the stories of the people who were involved in the disaster and those who responded to it.
[
7
]
The series depicts some of the lesser-known stories of the disaster, including the efforts of the firefighters who were the first responders on the scene, volunteers, and teams of miners who dug a critical tunnel under Reactor 4.
The miniseries is based in large part on the recollections of
Pripyat
locals, as told by Belarusian
Nobel laureate
Svetlana Alexievich
in her book
Voices from Chernobyl
.
[
8
]
Researchers have documented Alexievich's insertion of her own words into the testimonies of her interview subjects in this and others of her books, as well as her extensive revision—even from one edition to the next—of her interviews, which suggests that her works should not be taken as verbatim oral history.

Chernobyl
.
Development and writing
[
edit
]
In 2014, writer
Craig Mazin
began researching for the project by reading books and government reports from inside and outside the
Soviet Union
. Mazin also interviewed nuclear scientists to learn how a reactor works, and former Soviet citizens to gain a better idea of the culture in 1986. Mazin also read several first-person accounts to bring additional authenticity to the story. He explained, "When you're reading the personal stories of people who were there—people who lived near the plant, people who worked at the plant, people who were sent to Chernobyl as part of the effort to clean it up—in those individual accounts, that's really where the story came alive".
[
22
]
Mazin's interest in creating the series originated when he decided to write something that addressed "how we're struggling with the global war on the truth right now".
[
23
]
Another inspiration is that he knew Chernobyl exploded, but he did not know
why
. He explained, "I didn't know why, and I thought there was this inexplicable gap in my knowledge ... So, I began reading about it, just out of this very dry, intellectual curiosity, and what I discovered was that, while the story of the explosion is fascinating, and we make it really clear exactly why and how it happened, what really grabbed me and held me were the incredible stories of the human beings who lived through it, and who suffered and sacrificed to save the people that they loved, to save their countrymen and to save a continent, and continued to do so, against odds that were startling and kept getting worse. I was so moved by it. It was like I had discovered a war that people just hadn't really depicted, and I became obsessed".
[
24
]
Mazin said that "The lesson of
Chernobyl
isn't that modern
nuclear power
is dangerous. The lesson is that lying, arrogance, and suppression of criticism are dangerous".
[
25
]
In preparation for the miniseries, Mazin visited the
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
.
[
26
]
Mazin made the decision in the early stages not to use Russian or Ukrainian accents, and instead, have the actors use their natural accents. Mazin explained, "We had an initial thought that we didn't want to do the '
Boris and Natasha
' clichéd accent because the Russian accent can turn comic very easily. At first, we thought that maybe we would have people do these sorts of vaguely Eastern European accents—not really strong but noticeable. What we found very quickly is that actors will act accents. They will not act, they will act accents and we were losing everything about these people that we loved. Honestly, I think after maybe one or two auditions we said 'OK, new rule. We're not doing that anymore'".
[
27
]
Mazin also did not cast any American actors, as that could potentially pull the audience out of the story.
[
28
]
In early 2017,
Carolyn Strauss
joined the project as producer, and pitched the show with Mazin to HBO's
Kary Antholis
. According to Antholis: "It was the best pitch I've heard in 25 years of listening to pitches — there's nothing that really comes close to it".
[
29
]
Regardless, viewership expectations remained low during development, and the series was eventually assigned a Monday night time slot. Antholis convinced
Sky UK
to co-produce, lessening HBO's financial burden to around $15 million of the show's $40 million budget.
[
29
]
On July 26, 2017, it was announced that HBO and Sky had given a series order to
Chernobyl
. It was HBO's first co-production with
Sky UK
. The five-episode miniseries was written by Craig Mazin and directed by
Johan Renck
. Mazin also served as an executive producer alongside
Carolyn Strauss
and
Jane Featherstone
, with Chris Fry and Renck acting as co-executive producers.
[
7
]
[
30
]
On March 11, 2019, it was announced that the miniseries would premiere on May 6, 2019.
[
31
]
On June 4, 2019, Craig Mazin made the original scripts of all episodes available for downloading as
PDFs
(see
External links
below).
[
32
]
A companion
podcast
for the miniseries had new episodes published as each TV episode aired on HBO.
[
33
]
The podcast featured conversations between Mazin and host
Peter Sagal
including discussions of where the show was as true as possible to historical events and where events were consolidated or modified as part of
artistic license
.
[
4
]
Simultaneously with the initial series announcement, it was confirmed that
Jared Harris
would star in the series.
[
30
]
On March 19, 2018, it was announced that
Stellan Skarsgård
and
Emily Watson
had joined the main cast, marking their second collaboration after
Breaking the Waves
.
[
34
]
In May 2018, it was announced that
Paul Ritter
,
Jessie Buckley
,
Adrian Rawlins
, and
Con O'Neill
also had joined the cast.
[
35
]
The Soviet-era district of
Fabijoniškės
in
Vilnius
,
Lithuania
was used to portray
Pripyat
.
In April 2018,
principal photography
began in Lithuania.
[
30
]
Initial filming started on May 13, 2018, in
Fabijoniškės
, a residential district in
Vilnius
,
Lithuania
, which was used to portray the
Ukrainian
city of
Pripyat
, since the district maintained an authentic
Soviet
atmosphere. An area of densely built panel housing apartments served as a location for the evacuation scenes. Director Johan Renck heavily criticised the amount of diverse and eye-catching modern windows in the houses, but was not concerned about removing them in post-production.
[
36
]
At the end of March, production moved to
Visaginas
,
Lithuania
, to shoot both the exterior and interior of the
Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant
, a decommissioned nuclear power station that is sometimes referred to as "Chernobyl's sister" due to its visual resemblance and the nuclear reactor design used at both Chernobyl and Ignalina, both being
RBMK
nuclear power reactors. In early June 2018, production moved to
Ukraine
to shoot minor final scenes.
[
36
]
The filming of
Chernobyl
took 16 weeks.
[
37
]
The series has a reported production budget of $40 million, as part of a $250 million deal between HBO and Sky.
[
38
]
According to series cinematographer Jakob Ihre, various Soviet-era films–namely
Andrei Rublev
,
Stalker
and
Come and See
–inspired the look of the miniseries.
[
39
]
The musical score was composed by Icelandic composer
Hildur Guðnadóttir
. In August 2018, she began recording the score with
Chris Watson
at the
Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant
, where the series was being preliminarily shot.
[
40
]
She used the recordings from the power plant, deciding not to depend on instruments and pre-recorded material to create the score, as she wanted to experience from a listener's perspective on what it is like to actually be inside of a power plant.
[
41
]
The original score album was released by the record labels
Deutsche Grammophon
and
WaterTower Music
on May 31, 2019,
[
42
]
[
43
]
with a vinyl edition released by Decca on September 6, 2019.
[
44
]
Historical accuracy
[
edit
]
The series was praised in the media for being exhaustively researched,
[
45
]
but some commentators noted inaccuracies or liberties were taken for
dramatic purposes
, such as Legasov being present at the trial.
[
46
]
[
47
]
The first episode depicts Legasov timing his suicide down to the second (1:23:45) to coincide with the second anniversary of the Chernobyl explosion. Legasov actually died by suicide a day later. The
epilogue
acknowledges that the character of Ulana Khomyuk is fictional, a composite of Soviet scientists. Journalist
Adam Higginbotham
, who spent a decade researching the disaster and authored the non-fiction account
Midnight in Chernobyl
, points out in an interview that there was no need for scientists to "uncover the truth" because "many nuclear scientists knew all along that there were problems with this reactor—the problems that led ultimately to an explosion and disaster".
[
48
]
Artistic license was also used in the depiction of the "Bridge of Death", from which spectators in Pripyat watched the aftermath of the explosion. The miniseries asserts that the spectators subsequently died, a claim which is now generally held to be an
urban legend
.
[
49
]
[
50
]
[
51
]
The series also discusses a potential third steam explosion, due to the risk of
corium
melting through to the water reservoirs below the reactor building, as being in the range of 2 to 4
megatons
. This would have been physically impossible under the circumstances, as exploding reactors do not function as
thermonuclear bombs
.
[
52
]
[
53
]
According to series author
Craig Mazin
, the claim was based on one made by Belarusian nuclear physicist
Vassili Nesterenko
about a potential 3–5 Mt third explosion, even though physicists hired for the show were unable to confirm its plausibility.
[
54
]
The series' production design, such as the choice of sets, props, and costumes, has received high praise for its precise accuracy. Several sources have commended the attention to even minor setting details, such as the use of actual Kyiv-region license plate numbers, and a
New Yorker
review states that "the material culture of the Soviet Union is reproduced with an accuracy that has never before been seen" from either Western or Russian filmmakers.
[
55
]
[
48
]
[

]
[
56
]
Oleksiy Breus, a Chernobyl engineer, commends the portrayal of the symptoms of radiation poisoning;
[
57
]
Robert Gale
, a doctor who treated Chernobyl victims, states that the miniseries overstated the symptoms by suggesting that the patients were radioactive.
[
58
]
In a more critical judgment, a review from the
Moscow Times
highlights some small design errors: for instance, Soviet soldiers are inaccurately shown as holding their weapons in Western style and Legasov's apartment was too "dingy" for a scientist of his status.
[
59
]
In a 1996 interview, Lyudmilla Ignatenko said that her baby "took the whole radioactive shock [...] She was like a lightning rod for it".
[
60
]
This perception that her husband, Vasily, was radioactive and caused the death of her daughter soon after birth was recreated in the miniseries. However, Ukrainian medical responder Alla Shapiro, in a 2019 interview with
Vanity Fair
, said such beliefs were false, and that once Ignatenko was showered and out of his contaminated clothing, he would not have been dangerous to others, precluding this possibility.
[
61
]
During an interview with
BBC News Russian
in 2019, Lyudmilla Ignatenko described how she suffered harassment and criticism when the series was aired. She said reporters hounded her at home in Kyiv and even jammed their foot in her door as they tried to interview her, and that she suffered criticism for exposing her unborn daughter to Vasily, despite the fact she hadn't known anything about radiation then and that risk to a fetus from such exposure is infinitesimally small.
[
58
]
She said she never gave HBO and Sky Atlantic permission to tell her story, saying there had been a single phone call offering money after filming had been completed. She thought the call was a hoax because it came from a Moscow number and hung up. HBO Sky rejects this, saying they had exchanges with Lyudmilla before, during and after filming with the opportunity to participate and provide feedback and at no time did she express a wish for her story to not be included.
[
62
]
The portrayal of Soviet officials, including the plant management and central government figures, received some criticism. Breus, the Chernobyl engineer, argues that the characters of
Viktor Bryukhanov
,
Nikolai Fomin
and
Anatoly Dyatlov
were "distorted and misrepresented, as if they were villains".
[
57
]
Some reviews criticized the series for creating a stark moral dichotomy, in which the scientists are depicted as overly heroic while the government and plant officials are uniformly villainous.
[
55
]
[
63
]
[
64
]
[
65
]
The occasional threats of execution from government officials were also seen by some as anachronistic: Russian-American journalist
Masha Gessen
argues that "summary executions, or even delayed executions on orders of a single apparatchik, were not a feature of Soviet life after the nineteen-thirties".
[
55
]
[
59
]
Higginbotham takes a more positive view of the portrayal of the authorities, arguing that the unconcerned attitude of the central government was accurately depicted.
[
48
]
The miniseries premiered on May 6, 2019, on HBO. In the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, it premiered on May 7, 2019, on
Sky Atlantic
.
The miniseries was released on
Blu-ray
and
DVD
on October 1, 2019.
[
66
]
A
4K
Ultra HD Blu-ray
was released on December 1, 2020.
[
67
]
Chernobyl
received widespread critical acclaim. On review aggregator
Rotten Tomatoes
, the series has an approval rating of 95% based on 103 reviews, with an average rating of 8.9/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "
Chernobyl
rivets with a creeping dread that never dissipates, dramatizing a national tragedy with sterling craft and an intelligent dissection of institutional rot."
[
68
]
On
Metacritic
, it has a weighted average score of 82 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".
[
69
]
Reviewers for
The Atlantic
,
The Washington Post
, and the
BBC
observed parallels to contemporary society by focusing on the power of information and how dishonest leaders can make mistakes beyond their comprehension.
[
70
]
Sophie Gilbert
of
The Atlantic
hailed the series as a "grim disquisition on the toll of devaluing the truth";
[
71
]
Hank Stuever
of
The Washington Post
praised it for showcasing "what happens when lying is standard and authority is abused".
[
72
]
Meera Syal
praised
Chernobyl
as a "fiercely intelligent exposition of the human cost of state
censorship
. Would love to see similar exposé of the
Bhopal disaster
".
[
73
]
David Morrison
was "struck by the attention to accuracy" and says the "series does an outstanding job of presenting the technical and human issues of the accident."
[
74
]
Jennifer K. Crosby, writing for
The Objective Standard
, says that the miniseries "explores the reasons for this monumental catastrophe and illustrates how it was magnified by the evasion and denial of those in charge," adding that "although the true toll of the disaster on millions of lives will never be known,
Chernobyl
goes a long way toward helping us understand [its] real causes and effects."
[
75
]
In a negative article titled "Chernobyl: The Show Russiagate Wrote," Aaron Giovannone of the American left-wing publication
Jacobin
wrote that "even as we worry about the ongoing ecological crisis caused by capitalism, Chernobyl revels in the failure of the historical alternative to capitalism, which reinforces the status quo, offering us no way out of the crisis."
[
76
]
Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian response
[
edit
]
The miniseries was well received by some critics and audiences in Russia.
[
77
]
[
78
]
[
79
]
Vladimir Medinsky
, Russian culture minister, whose father was one of the
Chernobyl liquidators
, called the series "masterfully made" and "filmed with great respect for ordinary people".
[
80
]
It was reported that Russian state-run
NTV
television channel has been producing its own "patriotic" version of the Chernobyl story in which the
CIA
plays a key role in the disaster.
[
81
]
[
82
]
The Russians then claimed that the series in question had been in production since before HBO's miniseries and was not created in response to it.
[
83
]
An apparent trailer for the series was uploaded to
YouTube
but was later deleted following negative reaction from the Russian viewers.
[
84
]
In a statement,
Sergey Malinkovich
, the head of the executive committee of the central committee of the
Communists of Russia
party, called for a criminal libel lawsuit to be brought under the
Criminal Code of Russia
against
Chernobyl
'
s writer, director and producers, describing the show as "disgusting".
[
85
]
[
86
]
[
87
]
He also demanded that Russia's
Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media
(Roskomnadzor) block access to the "filthy" miniseries.
[
88
]
Marianna Prysiazhniuk of
Vice Media
noted that multiple Russian media outlets describe the miniseries as one-sided, incomplete, or anti-Russian propaganda.
[
89
]
Argumenty i Fakty
dismissed the show as "a caricature and not the truth" and "The only things missing are the bears and accordions!" said Stanislav Natanzon, lead anchor of
Russia-24
, one of the country's main state-run news channels.
[
90
]
In Ukraine, Anna Korolevska, deputy director at the
Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum
in Kyiv, said "Today young people coming to power in Ukraine know nothing about that disaster in 1986. It was a necessary film to make and HBO have obviously tried their best; as for us, we are going to create a special tour about Chernobyl's historic truth, inspired by the HBO series."
[
91
]
Bermet Talant, a Kyrgyz journalist, noted that "In Russia, a state that still takes
pride in the Soviet legacy
, the series has faced criticism from the official media. Meanwhile, many in Ukraine appreciated the series for humanizing a tragic chapter in the country's history. [...] Ukrainian viewers also appreciated HBO's
Chernobyl
for praising the heroism and self-sacrifice of ordinary people."
[
92
]
Belarusian Nobel laureate
Svetlana Alexievich
, whose book inspired the series, said "We are now witnessing a new phenomenon that
Belarusians
, who suffered greatly and thought they knew a lot about the tragedy, have completely changed their perception about Chernobyl and are interpreting this tragedy in a whole new way. The authors accomplished this, even though they are from a completely different world – not from Belarus, not from our region." She also noted its popularity with young Belarusians.
[
93
]
At the onset of the
COVID-19 pandemic in China
, Chinese
netizens
drew parallels between the Soviet response to the Chernobyl disaster and the initial handling of the coronavirus outbreak by the Chinese government.
[
94
]
[
95
]
As a response, the page for
Chernobyl
on
Douban
, which by that point had amassed more than 200,000 ratings with an average of 9.6 out of 10, was taken down.

The release of each episode was accompanied by a podcast in which Mazin and [NPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR "NPR") host [Peter Sagal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sagal "Peter Sagal") discuss instances of artistic license and the reasoning behind them.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Greene-5) While critics, experts and witnesses have noted historical and factual discrepancies in the series, the creators' attention to detail has been widely praised.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-rferl.org-6)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-7)
## Premise
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: Premise")\]
*Chernobyl* dramatizes the story of the [April 1986 nuclear plant disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster "Chernobyl disaster") which occurred in the [Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic"), [Soviet Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union"), telling the stories of the people who were involved in the disaster and those who responded to it.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder1-8) The series depicts some of the lesser-known stories of the disaster, including the efforts of the firefighters who were the first responders on the scene, volunteers, and teams of miners who dug a critical tunnel under Reactor 4.
The miniseries is based in large part on the recollections of [Pripyat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat "Pripyat") locals, as told by Belarusian [Nobel laureate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_in_Literature "List of Nobel laureates in Literature") [Svetlana Alexievich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlana_Alexievich "Svetlana Alexievich") in her book *[Voices from Chernobyl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voices_from_Chernobyl "Voices from Chernobyl")*.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-9) Researchers have documented Alexievich's insertion of her own words into the testimonies of her interview subjects in this and others of her books, as well as her extensive revision—even from one edition to the next—of her interviews, which suggests that her works should not be taken as verbatim oral history.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-10)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-11)

| Exactly two years after the [Chernobyl Nuclear disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster "Chernobyl disaster"), Soviet chemist [Valery Legasov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valery_Legasov "Valery Legasov") secretly records a series of memoirs, then hangs himself in his Moscow apartment. At 1:23:45 am on April 26, 1986, Reactor No. 4 explodes at the [Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Nuclear_Power_Plant "Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant") near [Pripyat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat "Pripyat"), [Ukrainian SSR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-17)[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-18) Inside the control room, Deputy Chief Engineer [Anatoly Dyatlov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly_Dyatlov "Anatoly Dyatlov") denies initial reports that the core is exposed, believing this to be impossible. He orders [Aleksandr Akimov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Akimov "Aleksandr Akimov") and [Leonid Toptunov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Toptunov "Leonid Toptunov") to control the core by manually adding water and Emergency Services, including [Vasily Ignatenko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Ignatenko "Vasily Ignatenko"), to extinguish the fire. All are unknowingly exposed to lethal radiation doses, as are Pripyat civilians who gather to watch the fire from a [nearby bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_of_Death_\(Pripyat\) "Bridge of Death (Pripyat)"). Dyatlov meets with Plant Manager [Viktor Bryukhanov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Bryukhanov "Viktor Bryukhanov") and Chief Engineer [Nikolai Fomin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Fomin_\(engineer\) "Nikolai Fomin (engineer)"), who decide to lock down the city and cut phone lines to prevent panic and misinformation. Dyatlov witnesses dozens of first responders already suffering from [ARS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome "Acute radiation syndrome"). Legasov is summoned to the Kremlin to advise [USSR General Secretary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_Soviet_Union "President of the Soviet Union") [Mikhail Gorbachev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev "Mikhail Gorbachev") on the disaster response. | | | | | | |

| Seven hours after the explosion, nuclear physicist Ulana Khomyuk detects a radiation spike in [Minsk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk "Minsk"), [Byelorussian SSR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byelorussian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic "Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic"), and infers that it is from Chernobyl. At Pripyat Hospital 6, Lyudmilla Ignatenko learns that her husband Vasily is being transported to [Moscow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow "Moscow") with other severe ARS patients. At the Kremlin, Deputy Chairman [Boris Shcherbina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Shcherbina "Boris Shcherbina") meets with Gorbachev and the [Soviet Central Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Committee_of_the_Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union "Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union") and echoes Dyatlov's false report. Legasov deduces that the core is exposed and persuades Gorbachev to send him and Shcherbina to investigate. Bryukhanov and Fomin blame Legasov for spreading dangerous misinformation, but Shcherbina arrests them after [Vladimir Pikalov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Pikalov "Vladimir Pikalov") provides an accurate [dosimeter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosimeter "Dosimeter") reading that proves Legasov correct. After lying about the region's safety to innocent civilians, Legasov convinces Shcherbina to evacuate Pripyat by revealing that they have already been exposed to a fatal radiation dose. Legasov and Shcherbina smother the core fire with [sand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica "Silica") and [boron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron "Boron"), unaware that the underlying water reservoirs are full. Speaking in code with another nuclear physicist, Khomyuk learns of these efforts and informs Legasov that the superheated sand will volatilize the water tanks, triggering a catastrophic [steam explosion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_explosion "Steam explosion"). Gorbachev authorizes three plant workers to drain the reservoirs, but the radiation disrupts their flashlights, leaving them in darkness. | | | | | | |

| The three workers use hand-pumped flashlights and drain the basement reservoirs. Gorbachev authorizes using a team of miners from [Tula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tula,_Russia "Tula, Russia"), [Russian SFSR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Soviet_Federative_Socialist_Republic "Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic") to excavate an area beneath the core and install a [heat exchanger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger "Heat exchanger"), preventing a [nuclear meltdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown "Nuclear meltdown") and contamination of the surrounding watershed. Shcherbina takes a private walk with Legasov to inform him of overt [KGB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGB "KGB") surveillance. Legasov instructs Khomyuk to interview Dyatlov, Akimov and Toptunov and investigate the cause of the explosion. Lyudmilla arrives in Moscow, where Vasily seems to be recovering. Legasov explains that this is a "[latency period](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_period_\(epidemiology\) "Latent period (epidemiology)")", after which the body systems will melt from within. Vasily, Akimov and Toptunov die within weeks, but only after the latter two willingly share their accounts with Khomyuk. She learns that the emergency shutdown procedure (button AZ-5) triggered the explosion, which was deemed impossible. Khomyuk witnesses Lyudmilla with her irradiated husband and threatens the nurse for allowing it, but instead Khomyuk is arrested by the KGB and released only on Legasov's insistence. Lyudmilla watches as the bodies of Vasily and several others are entombed within zinc caskets, lowered into a mass grave, and buried in concrete. | | | | | | |

| At Legasov's demand, the [Chernobyl Exclusion Zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Exclusion_Zone "Chernobyl Exclusion Zone") is expanded, and hundreds of [liquidators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_liquidators "Chernobyl liquidators") are conscripted to decontaminate the forests, topsoil, and wildlife. This includes a team dispatched to kill all the surviving pets. Legasov and Shcherbina attempt to clear [Nuclear graphite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_graphite "Nuclear graphite") and other debris from the Chernobyl rooftop using a German robot. However, its circuitry is fried instantly by the radiation, which is falsely reported by the [Soviet Central Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Committee_of_the_Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union "Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union") to avoid humiliation. Shcherbina and General [Nikolai Tarakanov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Tarakanov "Nikolai Tarakanov") are forced to enlist 3,828 liquidators in 90-second missions to clear the debris by hand. Even with protection, many liquidators later develop cancers or have children with [birth defects](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_defect "Birth defect") due to [radiation exposure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_exposure "Radiation exposure"). Despite Soviet State [redactions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redaction "Redaction") and secrecy, Khomyuk learns that AZ-5 causes a brief spike in nuclear reactivity. Legasov knew this fact from a colleague who discovered that the control rods in RBMK reactor cores are tipped with graphite, who then warned the Kremlin 10 years before Chernobyl, but was rebuked. Khomyuk urges Legasov to broadcast this design flaw to the [International Atomic Energy Agency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Energy_Agency "International Atomic Energy Agency") at a conference in [Vienna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna "Vienna"). Shcherbina warns Legasov of the personal dangers of exposing State secrets, proposing a deal with the KGB to quietly fix the reactors. Lyudmilla gives birth, but her baby dies within four hours due to radiation exposure from Vasily. | | | | | | |

| Twelve hours before the explosion, Bryukhanov, Fomin, and Dyatlov learn that a planned safety test must be scrapped, but hoping to win promotions, decide to simply delay it. The KGB awards Legasov for omitting the AZ-5 design flaw from his testimony at the Vienna conference. They also insist that design reforms must wait until after the trial of Dyatlov, Fomin and Bryukhanov, whom the [Soviet State](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_the_Soviet_Union "Government of the Soviet Union") is hoping to blame for the disaster. Legasov and Khomyuk do not trust the State to follow through. At the trial, Legasov explains how Bryukhanov, Fomin and Dyatlov's mismanagement of the safety test pushed the reactor to the brink of meltdown. He then details the fatal design flaw of the AZ-5 emergency shutdown button, admitting that his Vienna testimony was a lie and that Dyatlov, Akimov and Toptunov rightly believed the button to be infallible because the Soviet State concealed the flaw. As punishment, the KGB strips Legasov of his titles, awards, and social community. Legasov's suicide causes his memoirs to be widely circulated and forces the USSR to admit the truth and retrofit its remaining nuclear reactors. | | | | | | |
## Production
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=7 "Edit section: Production")\]

[Craig Mazin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Mazin "Craig Mazin") was the writer, creator, and producer of *Chernobyl*.
### Development and writing
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=8 "Edit section: Development and writing")\]
In 2014, writer [Craig Mazin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Mazin "Craig Mazin") began researching for the project by reading books and government reports from inside and outside the [Soviet Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union"). Mazin also interviewed nuclear scientists to learn how a reactor works, and former Soviet citizens to gain a better idea of the culture in 1986. Mazin also read several first-person accounts to bring additional authenticity to the story. He explained, "When you're reading the personal stories of people who were there—people who lived near the plant, people who worked at the plant, people who were sent to Chernobyl as part of the effort to clean it up—in those individual accounts, that's really where the story came alive".[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-26)
Mazin's interest in creating the series originated when he decided to write something that addressed "how we're struggling with the global war on the truth right now".[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-27) Another inspiration is that he knew Chernobyl exploded, but he did not know *why*. He explained, "I didn't know why, and I thought there was this inexplicable gap in my knowledge ... So, I began reading about it, just out of this very dry, intellectual curiosity, and what I discovered was that, while the story of the explosion is fascinating, and we make it really clear exactly why and how it happened, what really grabbed me and held me were the incredible stories of the human beings who lived through it, and who suffered and sacrificed to save the people that they loved, to save their countrymen and to save a continent, and continued to do so, against odds that were startling and kept getting worse. I was so moved by it. It was like I had discovered a war that people just hadn't really depicted, and I became obsessed".[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-28) Mazin said that "The lesson of *Chernobyl* isn't that modern [nuclear power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power "Nuclear power") is dangerous. The lesson is that lying, arrogance, and suppression of criticism are dangerous".[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Shellenberger-29)
In preparation for the miniseries, Mazin visited the [Chernobyl Exclusion Zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Exclusion_Zone "Chernobyl Exclusion Zone").[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-30) Mazin made the decision in the early stages not to use Russian or Ukrainian accents, and instead, have the actors use their natural accents. Mazin explained, "We had an initial thought that we didn't want to do the '[Boris and Natasha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_and_Natasha "Boris and Natasha")' clichéd accent because the Russian accent can turn comic very easily. At first, we thought that maybe we would have people do these sorts of vaguely Eastern European accents—not really strong but noticeable. What we found very quickly is that actors will act accents. They will not act, they will act accents and we were losing everything about these people that we loved. Honestly, I think after maybe one or two auditions we said 'OK, new rule. We're not doing that anymore'".[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-31) Mazin also did not cast any American actors, as that could potentially pull the audience out of the story.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-32)
In early 2017, [Carolyn Strauss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolyn_Strauss "Carolyn Strauss") joined the project as producer, and pitched the show with Mazin to HBO's [Kary Antholis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kary_Antholis "Kary Antholis"). According to Antholis: "It was the best pitch I've heard in 25 years of listening to pitches — there's nothing that really comes close to it".[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-NYT-33) Regardless, viewership expectations remained low during development, and the series was eventually assigned a Monday night time slot. Antholis convinced [Sky UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_UK "Sky UK") to co-produce, lessening HBO's financial burden to around \$15 million of the show's \$40 million budget.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-NYT-33)
On July 26, 2017, it was announced that HBO and Sky had given a series order to *Chernobyl*. It was HBO's first co-production with [Sky UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_UK "Sky UK"). The five-episode miniseries was written by Craig Mazin and directed by [Johan Renck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Renck "Johan Renck"). Mazin also served as an executive producer alongside [Carolyn Strauss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolyn_Strauss "Carolyn Strauss") and [Jane Featherstone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Featherstone "Jane Featherstone"), with Chris Fry and Renck acting as co-executive producers.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder1-8)[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder2-34) On March 11, 2019, it was announced that the miniseries would premiere on May 6, 2019.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-ChernobylMay2019-35) On June 4, 2019, Craig Mazin made the original scripts of all episodes available for downloading as [PDFs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF "PDF") (see [External links](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#External_links) below).[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-36)
A companion [podcast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast "Podcast") for the miniseries had new episodes published as each TV episode aired on HBO.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-37) The podcast featured conversations between Mazin and host [Peter Sagal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sagal "Peter Sagal") including discussions of where the show was as true as possible to historical events and where events were consolidated or modified as part of [artistic license](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_license "Artistic license").[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Greene-5)
### Casting
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=9 "Edit section: Casting")\]
Simultaneously with the initial series announcement, it was confirmed that [Jared Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Harris "Jared Harris") would star in the series.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder2-34) On March 19, 2018, it was announced that [Stellan Skarsgård](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellan_Skarsg%C3%A5rd "Stellan Skarsgård") and [Emily Watson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Watson "Emily Watson") had joined the main cast, marking their second collaboration after *[Breaking the Waves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_the_Waves "Breaking the Waves").*[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-38) In May 2018, it was announced that [Paul Ritter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ritter "Paul Ritter"), [Jessie Buckley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessie_Buckley "Jessie Buckley"), [Adrian Rawlins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Rawlins "Adrian Rawlins"), and [Con O'Neill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con_O%27Neill_\(actor\) "Con O'Neill (actor)") also had joined the cast.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-39)
### Filming
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=10 "Edit section: Filming")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%88%D0%BA%D0%B5%D1%81_-_panoramio.jpg)
The Soviet-era district of [Fabijoniškės](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabijoni%C5%A1k%C4%97s "Fabijoniškės") in [Vilnius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius "Vilnius"), [Lithuania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania "Lithuania") was used to portray [Pripyat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat "Pripyat").
In April 2018, [principal photography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography "Principal photography") began in Lithuania.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder2-34) Initial filming started on May 13, 2018, in [Fabijoniškės](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabijoni%C5%A1k%C4%97s "Fabijoniškės"), a residential district in [Vilnius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius "Vilnius"), [Lithuania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania "Lithuania"), which was used to portray the [Ukrainian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic") city of [Pripyat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat "Pripyat"), since the district maintained an authentic [Soviet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union") atmosphere. An area of densely built panel housing apartments served as a location for the evacuation scenes. Director Johan Renck heavily criticised the amount of diverse and eye-catching modern windows in the houses, but was not concerned about removing them in post-production.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-location-40)
At the end of March, production moved to [Visaginas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visaginas "Visaginas"), [Lithuania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania "Lithuania"), to shoot both the exterior and interior of the [Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignalina_Nuclear_Power_Plant "Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant"), a decommissioned nuclear power station that is sometimes referred to as "Chernobyl's sister" due to its visual resemblance and the nuclear reactor design used at both Chernobyl and Ignalina, both being [RBMK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBMK "RBMK") nuclear power reactors. In early June 2018, production moved to [Ukraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine "Ukraine") to shoot minor final scenes.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-location-40) The filming of *Chernobyl* took 16 weeks.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-41) The series has a reported production budget of \$40 million, as part of a \$250 million deal between HBO and Sky.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-42) According to series cinematographer Jakob Ihre, various Soviet-era films–namely *[Andrei Rublev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Rublev_\(film\) "Andrei Rublev (film)")*, *[Stalker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_\(1979_film\) "Stalker (1979 film)")* and *[Come and See](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_and_See "Come and See")*–inspired the look of the miniseries.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-43)
### Music
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=11 "Edit section: Music")\]
Main article: [*Chernobyl: Music from the Original TV Series*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl:_Music_from_the_Original_TV_Series "Chernobyl: Music from the Original TV Series")
The musical score was composed by Icelandic composer [Hildur Guðnadóttir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildur_Gu%C3%B0nad%C3%B3ttir "Hildur Guðnadóttir"). In August 2018, she began recording the score with [Chris Watson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Watson_\(musician\) "Chris Watson (musician)") at the [Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignalina_Nuclear_Power_Plant "Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant"), where the series was being preliminarily shot.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-:2-44) She used the recordings from the power plant, deciding not to depend on instruments and pre-recorded material to create the score, as she wanted to experience from a listener's perspective on what it is like to actually be inside of a power plant.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-45) The original score album was released by the record labels [Deutsche Grammophon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Grammophon "Deutsche Grammophon") and [WaterTower Music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WaterTower_Music "WaterTower Music") on May 31, 2019,[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-46)[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-47) with a vinyl edition released by Decca on September 6, 2019.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-48)
## Historical accuracy
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=12 "Edit section: Historical accuracy")\]
The series was praised in the media for being exhaustively researched,[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-bh-49) but some commentators noted inaccuracies or liberties were taken for [dramatic purposes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_license "Artistic license"), such as Legasov being present at the trial.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-50)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-51) The first episode depicts Legasov timing his suicide down to the second (1:23:45) to coincide with the second anniversary of the Chernobyl explosion. Legasov actually died by suicide a day later. The [epilogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilogue#In_film "Epilogue") acknowledges that the character of Ulana Khomyuk is fictional, a composite of Soviet scientists. Journalist [Adam Higginbotham](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Higginbotham "Adam Higginbotham"), who spent a decade researching the disaster and authored the non-fiction account *[Midnight in Chernobyl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_in_Chernobyl "Midnight in Chernobyl")*, points out in an interview that there was no need for scientists to "uncover the truth" because "many nuclear scientists knew all along that there were problems with this reactor—the problems that led ultimately to an explosion and disaster".[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-cbsaccurate-52) Artistic license was also used in the depiction of the "Bridge of Death", from which spectators in Pripyat watched the aftermath of the explosion. The miniseries asserts that the spectators subsequently died, a claim which is now generally held to be an [urban legend](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legend "Urban legend").[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-53)[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Nicholson-54)[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-55)
The series also discusses a potential third steam explosion, due to the risk of [corium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corium_\(nuclear_reactor\) "Corium (nuclear reactor)") melting through to the water reservoirs below the reactor building, as being in the range of 2 to 4 [megatons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent "TNT equivalent"). This would have been physically impossible under the circumstances, as exploding reactors do not function as [thermonuclear bombs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon "Thermonuclear weapon").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-56)[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-57) According to series author [Craig Mazin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Mazin "Craig Mazin"), the claim was based on one made by Belarusian nuclear physicist [Vassili Nesterenko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassili_Nesterenko "Vassili Nesterenko") about a potential 3–5 Mt third explosion, even though physicists hired for the show were unable to confirm its plausibility.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-58)
The series' production design, such as the choice of sets, props, and costumes, has received high praise for its precise accuracy. Several sources have commended the attention to even minor setting details, such as the use of actual Kyiv-region license plate numbers, and a *[New Yorker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker "The New Yorker")* review states that "the material culture of the Soviet Union is reproduced with an accuracy that has never before been seen" from either Western or Russian filmmakers.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gessen-59)[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-cbsaccurate-52)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-rferl.org-6)[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-60) Oleksiy Breus, a Chernobyl engineer, commends the portrayal of the symptoms of radiation poisoning;[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-BBC_Shramovych-61) [Robert Gale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Peter_Gale "Robert Peter Gale"), a doctor who treated Chernobyl victims, states that the miniseries overstated the symptoms by suggesting that the patients were radioactive.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gale2-62) In a more critical judgment, a review from the *[Moscow Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Times "Moscow Times")* highlights some small design errors: for instance, Soviet soldiers are inaccurately shown as holding their weapons in Western style and Legasov's apartment was too "dingy" for a scientist of his status.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-MoscowTimes-63)
In a 1996 interview, Lyudmilla Ignatenko said that her baby "took the whole radioactive shock \[...\] She was like a lightning rod for it".[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-64) This perception that her husband, Vasily, was radioactive and caused the death of her daughter soon after birth was recreated in the miniseries. However, Ukrainian medical responder Alla Shapiro, in a 2019 interview with *[Vanity Fair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_Fair_\(magazine\) "Vanity Fair (magazine)")*, said such beliefs were false, and that once Ignatenko was showered and out of his contaminated clothing, he would not have been dangerous to others, precluding this possibility.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-65)
During an interview with [BBC News Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_News_Russian "BBC News Russian") in 2019, Lyudmilla Ignatenko described how she suffered harassment and criticism when the series was aired. She said reporters hounded her at home in Kyiv and even jammed their foot in her door as they tried to interview her, and that she suffered criticism for exposing her unborn daughter to Vasily, despite the fact she hadn't known anything about radiation then and that risk to a fetus from such exposure is infinitesimally small.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gale2-62) She said she never gave HBO and Sky Atlantic permission to tell her story, saying there had been a single phone call offering money after filming had been completed. She thought the call was a hoax because it came from a Moscow number and hung up. HBO Sky rejects this, saying they had exchanges with Lyudmilla before, during and after filming with the opportunity to participate and provide feedback and at no time did she express a wish for her story to not be included.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-66)
The portrayal of Soviet officials, including the plant management and central government figures, received some criticism. Breus, the Chernobyl engineer, argues that the characters of [Viktor Bryukhanov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Bryukhanov "Viktor Bryukhanov"), [Nikolai Fomin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Fomin_\(engineer\) "Nikolai Fomin (engineer)") and [Anatoly Dyatlov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly_Dyatlov "Anatoly Dyatlov") were "distorted and misrepresented, as if they were villains".[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-BBC_Shramovych-61) Some reviews criticized the series for creating a stark moral dichotomy, in which the scientists are depicted as overly heroic while the government and plant officials are uniformly villainous.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gessen-59)[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-csmonitor-67)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-68)[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gale4-69) The occasional threats of execution from government officials were also seen by some as anachronistic: Russian-American journalist [Masha Gessen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masha_Gessen "Masha Gessen") argues that "summary executions, or even delayed executions on orders of a single apparatchik, were not a feature of Soviet life after the nineteen-thirties".[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gessen-59)[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-MoscowTimes-63) Higginbotham takes a more positive view of the portrayal of the authorities, arguing that the unconcerned attitude of the central government was accurately depicted.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-cbsaccurate-52)

Reviewers for *[The Atlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic "The Atlantic")*, *[The Washington Post](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post "The Washington Post")*, and the [BBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC "BBC") observed parallels to contemporary society by focusing on the power of information and how dishonest leaders can make mistakes beyond their comprehension.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Saunders-74) [Sophie Gilbert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Gilbert "Sophie Gilbert") of *The Atlantic* hailed the series as a "grim disquisition on the toll of devaluing the truth";[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-75) [Hank Stuever](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Stuever "Hank Stuever") of *The Washington Post* praised it for showcasing "what happens when lying is standard and authority is abused".[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-76) [Meera Syal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meera_Syal "Meera Syal") praised *Chernobyl* as a "fiercely intelligent exposition of the human cost of state [censorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship "Censorship"). Would love to see similar exposé of the [Bhopal disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster "Bhopal disaster")".[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-77) [David Morrison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Morrison_\(astrophysicist\) "David Morrison (astrophysicist)") was "struck by the attention to accuracy" and says the "series does an outstanding job of presenting the technical and human issues of the accident."[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-78)
Jennifer K. Crosby, writing for *The Objective Standard*, says that the miniseries "explores the reasons for this monumental catastrophe and illustrates how it was magnified by the evasion and denial of those in charge," adding that "although the true toll of the disaster on millions of lives will never be known, *Chernobyl* goes a long way toward helping us understand \[its\] real causes and effects."[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-79) In a negative article titled "Chernobyl: The Show Russiagate Wrote," Aaron Giovannone of the American left-wing publication *[Jacobin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobin_\(magazine\) "Jacobin (magazine)")* wrote that "even as we worry about the ongoing ecological crisis caused by capitalism, Chernobyl revels in the failure of the historical alternative to capitalism, which reinforces the status quo, offering us no way out of the crisis."[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-80)
#### Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian response
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=17 "Edit section: Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian response")\]
The miniseries was well received by some critics and audiences in Russia.[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-81)[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-82)[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-83) [Vladimir Medinsky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Medinsky "Vladimir Medinsky"), Russian culture minister, whose father was one of the [Chernobyl liquidators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_liquidators "Chernobyl liquidators"), called the series "masterfully made" and "filmed with great respect for ordinary people".[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-84) It was reported that Russian state-run [NTV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTV_\(Russia\) "NTV (Russia)") television channel has been producing its own "patriotic" version of the Chernobyl story in which the [CIA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency "Central Intelligence Agency") plays a key role in the disaster.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-85)[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-86) The Russians then claimed that the series in question had been in production since before HBO's miniseries and was not created in response to it.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-87) An apparent trailer for the series was uploaded to [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") but was later deleted following negative reaction from the Russian viewers.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-88)
In a statement, [Sergey Malinkovich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Malinkovich "Sergey Malinkovich"), the head of the executive committee of the central committee of the [Communists of Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communists_of_Russia "Communists of Russia") party, called for a criminal libel lawsuit to be brought under the [Criminal Code of Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_Code_of_Russia "Criminal Code of Russia") against *Chernobyl*'s writer, director and producers, describing the show as "disgusting".[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-89)[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-90)[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-91) He also demanded that Russia's [Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Service_for_Supervision_of_Communications,_Information_Technology_and_Mass_Media "Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media") (Roskomnadzor) block access to the "filthy" miniseries.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-92) Marianna Prysiazhniuk of *[Vice Media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Media "Vice Media")* noted that multiple Russian media outlets describe the miniseries as one-sided, incomplete, or anti-Russian propaganda.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-93) *[Argumenty i Fakty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumenty_i_Fakty "Argumenty i Fakty")* dismissed the show as "a caricature and not the truth" and "The only things missing are the bears and accordions!" said Stanislav Natanzon, lead anchor of [Russia-24](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia-24 "Russia-24"), one of the country's main state-run news channels.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-94)
In Ukraine, Anna Korolevska, deputy director at the [Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_National_Chernobyl_Museum "Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum") in Kyiv, said "Today young people coming to power in Ukraine know nothing about that disaster in 1986. It was a necessary film to make and HBO have obviously tried their best; as for us, we are going to create a special tour about Chernobyl's historic truth, inspired by the HBO series."[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-95) Bermet Talant, a Kyrgyz journalist, noted that "In Russia, a state that still takes [pride in the Soviet legacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Sovietism "Neo-Sovietism"), the series has faced criticism from the official media. Meanwhile, many in Ukraine appreciated the series for humanizing a tragic chapter in the country's history. \[...\] Ukrainian viewers also appreciated HBO's *Chernobyl* for praising the heroism and self-sacrifice of ordinary people."[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-96)
Belarusian Nobel laureate [Svetlana Alexievich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlana_Alexievich "Svetlana Alexievich"), whose book inspired the series, said "We are now witnessing a new phenomenon that [Belarusians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusians "Belarusians"), who suffered greatly and thought they knew a lot about the tragedy, have completely changed their perception about Chernobyl and are interpreting this tragedy in a whole new way. The authors accomplished this, even though they are from a completely different world – not from Belarus, not from our region." She also noted its popularity with young Belarusians.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-97)

The release of each episode was accompanied by a podcast in which Mazin and [NPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR "NPR") host [Peter Sagal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sagal "Peter Sagal") discuss instances of artistic license and the reasoning behind them.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Greene-5) While critics, experts and witnesses have noted historical and factual discrepancies in the series, the creators' attention to detail has been widely praised.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-rferl.org-6)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-7)
*Chernobyl* dramatizes the story of the [April 1986 nuclear plant disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster "Chernobyl disaster") which occurred in the [Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic"), [Soviet Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union"), telling the stories of the people who were involved in the disaster and those who responded to it.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder1-8) The series depicts some of the lesser-known stories of the disaster, including the efforts of the firefighters who were the first responders on the scene, volunteers, and teams of miners who dug a critical tunnel under Reactor 4.
The miniseries is based in large part on the recollections of [Pripyat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat "Pripyat") locals, as told by Belarusian [Nobel laureate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_in_Literature "List of Nobel laureates in Literature") [Svetlana Alexievich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlana_Alexievich "Svetlana Alexievich") in her book *[Voices from Chernobyl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voices_from_Chernobyl "Voices from Chernobyl")*.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-9) Researchers have documented Alexievich's insertion of her own words into the testimonies of her interview subjects in this and others of her books, as well as her extensive revision—even from one edition to the next—of her interviews, which suggests that her works should not be taken as verbatim oral history.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-10)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-11)

[Craig Mazin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Mazin "Craig Mazin") was the writer, creator, and producer of *Chernobyl*.
### Development and writing
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=8 "Edit section: Development and writing")\]
In 2014, writer [Craig Mazin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Mazin "Craig Mazin") began researching for the project by reading books and government reports from inside and outside the [Soviet Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union"). Mazin also interviewed nuclear scientists to learn how a reactor works, and former Soviet citizens to gain a better idea of the culture in 1986. Mazin also read several first-person accounts to bring additional authenticity to the story. He explained, "When you're reading the personal stories of people who were there—people who lived near the plant, people who worked at the plant, people who were sent to Chernobyl as part of the effort to clean it up—in those individual accounts, that's really where the story came alive".[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-26)
Mazin's interest in creating the series originated when he decided to write something that addressed "how we're struggling with the global war on the truth right now".[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-27) Another inspiration is that he knew Chernobyl exploded, but he did not know *why*. He explained, "I didn't know why, and I thought there was this inexplicable gap in my knowledge ... So, I began reading about it, just out of this very dry, intellectual curiosity, and what I discovered was that, while the story of the explosion is fascinating, and we make it really clear exactly why and how it happened, what really grabbed me and held me were the incredible stories of the human beings who lived through it, and who suffered and sacrificed to save the people that they loved, to save their countrymen and to save a continent, and continued to do so, against odds that were startling and kept getting worse. I was so moved by it. It was like I had discovered a war that people just hadn't really depicted, and I became obsessed".[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-28) Mazin said that "The lesson of *Chernobyl* isn't that modern [nuclear power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power "Nuclear power") is dangerous. The lesson is that lying, arrogance, and suppression of criticism are dangerous".[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Shellenberger-29)
In preparation for the miniseries, Mazin visited the [Chernobyl Exclusion Zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Exclusion_Zone "Chernobyl Exclusion Zone").[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-30) Mazin made the decision in the early stages not to use Russian or Ukrainian accents, and instead, have the actors use their natural accents. Mazin explained, "We had an initial thought that we didn't want to do the '[Boris and Natasha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_and_Natasha "Boris and Natasha")' clichéd accent because the Russian accent can turn comic very easily. At first, we thought that maybe we would have people do these sorts of vaguely Eastern European accents—not really strong but noticeable. What we found very quickly is that actors will act accents. They will not act, they will act accents and we were losing everything about these people that we loved. Honestly, I think after maybe one or two auditions we said 'OK, new rule. We're not doing that anymore'".[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-31) Mazin also did not cast any American actors, as that could potentially pull the audience out of the story.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-32)
In early 2017, [Carolyn Strauss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolyn_Strauss "Carolyn Strauss") joined the project as producer, and pitched the show with Mazin to HBO's [Kary Antholis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kary_Antholis "Kary Antholis"). According to Antholis: "It was the best pitch I've heard in 25 years of listening to pitches — there's nothing that really comes close to it".[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-NYT-33) Regardless, viewership expectations remained low during development, and the series was eventually assigned a Monday night time slot. Antholis convinced [Sky UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_UK "Sky UK") to co-produce, lessening HBO's financial burden to around \$15 million of the show's \$40 million budget.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-NYT-33)
On July 26, 2017, it was announced that HBO and Sky had given a series order to *Chernobyl*. It was HBO's first co-production with [Sky UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_UK "Sky UK"). The five-episode miniseries was written by Craig Mazin and directed by [Johan Renck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Renck "Johan Renck"). Mazin also served as an executive producer alongside [Carolyn Strauss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolyn_Strauss "Carolyn Strauss") and [Jane Featherstone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Featherstone "Jane Featherstone"), with Chris Fry and Renck acting as co-executive producers.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder1-8)[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder2-34) On March 11, 2019, it was announced that the miniseries would premiere on May 6, 2019.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-ChernobylMay2019-35) On June 4, 2019, Craig Mazin made the original scripts of all episodes available for downloading as [PDFs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF "PDF") (see [External links](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#External_links) below).[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-36)
A companion [podcast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast "Podcast") for the miniseries had new episodes published as each TV episode aired on HBO.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-37) The podcast featured conversations between Mazin and host [Peter Sagal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sagal "Peter Sagal") including discussions of where the show was as true as possible to historical events and where events were consolidated or modified as part of [artistic license](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_license "Artistic license").[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Greene-5)
Simultaneously with the initial series announcement, it was confirmed that [Jared Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Harris "Jared Harris") would star in the series.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder2-34) On March 19, 2018, it was announced that [Stellan Skarsgård](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellan_Skarsg%C3%A5rd "Stellan Skarsgård") and [Emily Watson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Watson "Emily Watson") had joined the main cast, marking their second collaboration after *[Breaking the Waves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_the_Waves "Breaking the Waves").*[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-38) In May 2018, it was announced that [Paul Ritter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ritter "Paul Ritter"), [Jessie Buckley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessie_Buckley "Jessie Buckley"), [Adrian Rawlins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Rawlins "Adrian Rawlins"), and [Con O'Neill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con_O%27Neill_\(actor\) "Con O'Neill (actor)") also had joined the cast.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-39)

The Soviet-era district of [Fabijoniškės](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabijoni%C5%A1k%C4%97s "Fabijoniškės") in [Vilnius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius "Vilnius"), [Lithuania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania "Lithuania") was used to portray [Pripyat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat "Pripyat").
In April 2018, [principal photography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography "Principal photography") began in Lithuania.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-SeriesOrder2-34) Initial filming started on May 13, 2018, in [Fabijoniškės](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabijoni%C5%A1k%C4%97s "Fabijoniškės"), a residential district in [Vilnius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius "Vilnius"), [Lithuania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania "Lithuania"), which was used to portray the [Ukrainian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic") city of [Pripyat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat "Pripyat"), since the district maintained an authentic [Soviet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union") atmosphere. An area of densely built panel housing apartments served as a location for the evacuation scenes. Director Johan Renck heavily criticised the amount of diverse and eye-catching modern windows in the houses, but was not concerned about removing them in post-production.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-location-40)
At the end of March, production moved to [Visaginas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visaginas "Visaginas"), [Lithuania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania "Lithuania"), to shoot both the exterior and interior of the [Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignalina_Nuclear_Power_Plant "Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant"), a decommissioned nuclear power station that is sometimes referred to as "Chernobyl's sister" due to its visual resemblance and the nuclear reactor design used at both Chernobyl and Ignalina, both being [RBMK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBMK "RBMK") nuclear power reactors. In early June 2018, production moved to [Ukraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine "Ukraine") to shoot minor final scenes.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-location-40) The filming of *Chernobyl* took 16 weeks.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-41) The series has a reported production budget of \$40 million, as part of a \$250 million deal between HBO and Sky.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-42) According to series cinematographer Jakob Ihre, various Soviet-era films–namely *[Andrei Rublev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Rublev_\(film\) "Andrei Rublev (film)")*, *[Stalker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_\(1979_film\) "Stalker (1979 film)")* and *[Come and See](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_and_See "Come and See")*–inspired the look of the miniseries.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-43)
The musical score was composed by Icelandic composer [Hildur Guðnadóttir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildur_Gu%C3%B0nad%C3%B3ttir "Hildur Guðnadóttir"). In August 2018, she began recording the score with [Chris Watson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Watson_\(musician\) "Chris Watson (musician)") at the [Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignalina_Nuclear_Power_Plant "Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant"), where the series was being preliminarily shot.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-:2-44) She used the recordings from the power plant, deciding not to depend on instruments and pre-recorded material to create the score, as she wanted to experience from a listener's perspective on what it is like to actually be inside of a power plant.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-45) The original score album was released by the record labels [Deutsche Grammophon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Grammophon "Deutsche Grammophon") and [WaterTower Music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WaterTower_Music "WaterTower Music") on May 31, 2019,[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-46)[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-47) with a vinyl edition released by Decca on September 6, 2019.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-48)
## Historical accuracy
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=12 "Edit section: Historical accuracy")\]
The series was praised in the media for being exhaustively researched,[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-bh-49) but some commentators noted inaccuracies or liberties were taken for [dramatic purposes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_license "Artistic license"), such as Legasov being present at the trial.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-50)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-51) The first episode depicts Legasov timing his suicide down to the second (1:23:45) to coincide with the second anniversary of the Chernobyl explosion. Legasov actually died by suicide a day later. The [epilogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilogue#In_film "Epilogue") acknowledges that the character of Ulana Khomyuk is fictional, a composite of Soviet scientists. Journalist [Adam Higginbotham](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Higginbotham "Adam Higginbotham"), who spent a decade researching the disaster and authored the non-fiction account *[Midnight in Chernobyl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_in_Chernobyl "Midnight in Chernobyl")*, points out in an interview that there was no need for scientists to "uncover the truth" because "many nuclear scientists knew all along that there were problems with this reactor—the problems that led ultimately to an explosion and disaster".[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-cbsaccurate-52) Artistic license was also used in the depiction of the "Bridge of Death", from which spectators in Pripyat watched the aftermath of the explosion. The miniseries asserts that the spectators subsequently died, a claim which is now generally held to be an [urban legend](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legend "Urban legend").[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-53)[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Nicholson-54)[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-55)
The series also discusses a potential third steam explosion, due to the risk of [corium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corium_\(nuclear_reactor\) "Corium (nuclear reactor)") melting through to the water reservoirs below the reactor building, as being in the range of 2 to 4 [megatons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent "TNT equivalent"). This would have been physically impossible under the circumstances, as exploding reactors do not function as [thermonuclear bombs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon "Thermonuclear weapon").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-56)[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-57) According to series author [Craig Mazin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Mazin "Craig Mazin"), the claim was based on one made by Belarusian nuclear physicist [Vassili Nesterenko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassili_Nesterenko "Vassili Nesterenko") about a potential 3–5 Mt third explosion, even though physicists hired for the show were unable to confirm its plausibility.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-58)
The series' production design, such as the choice of sets, props, and costumes, has received high praise for its precise accuracy. Several sources have commended the attention to even minor setting details, such as the use of actual Kyiv-region license plate numbers, and a *[New Yorker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker "The New Yorker")* review states that "the material culture of the Soviet Union is reproduced with an accuracy that has never before been seen" from either Western or Russian filmmakers.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gessen-59)[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-cbsaccurate-52)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-rferl.org-6)[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-60) Oleksiy Breus, a Chernobyl engineer, commends the portrayal of the symptoms of radiation poisoning;[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-BBC_Shramovych-61) [Robert Gale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Peter_Gale "Robert Peter Gale"), a doctor who treated Chernobyl victims, states that the miniseries overstated the symptoms by suggesting that the patients were radioactive.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gale2-62) In a more critical judgment, a review from the *[Moscow Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Times "Moscow Times")* highlights some small design errors: for instance, Soviet soldiers are inaccurately shown as holding their weapons in Western style and Legasov's apartment was too "dingy" for a scientist of his status.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-MoscowTimes-63)
In a 1996 interview, Lyudmilla Ignatenko said that her baby "took the whole radioactive shock \[...\] She was like a lightning rod for it".[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-64) This perception that her husband, Vasily, was radioactive and caused the death of her daughter soon after birth was recreated in the miniseries. However, Ukrainian medical responder Alla Shapiro, in a 2019 interview with *[Vanity Fair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_Fair_\(magazine\) "Vanity Fair (magazine)")*, said such beliefs were false, and that once Ignatenko was showered and out of his contaminated clothing, he would not have been dangerous to others, precluding this possibility.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-65)
During an interview with [BBC News Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_News_Russian "BBC News Russian") in 2019, Lyudmilla Ignatenko described how she suffered harassment and criticism when the series was aired. She said reporters hounded her at home in Kyiv and even jammed their foot in her door as they tried to interview her, and that she suffered criticism for exposing her unborn daughter to Vasily, despite the fact she hadn't known anything about radiation then and that risk to a fetus from such exposure is infinitesimally small.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gale2-62) She said she never gave HBO and Sky Atlantic permission to tell her story, saying there had been a single phone call offering money after filming had been completed. She thought the call was a hoax because it came from a Moscow number and hung up. HBO Sky rejects this, saying they had exchanges with Lyudmilla before, during and after filming with the opportunity to participate and provide feedback and at no time did she express a wish for her story to not be included.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-66)
The portrayal of Soviet officials, including the plant management and central government figures, received some criticism. Breus, the Chernobyl engineer, argues that the characters of [Viktor Bryukhanov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Bryukhanov "Viktor Bryukhanov"), [Nikolai Fomin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Fomin_\(engineer\) "Nikolai Fomin (engineer)") and [Anatoly Dyatlov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly_Dyatlov "Anatoly Dyatlov") were "distorted and misrepresented, as if they were villains".[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-BBC_Shramovych-61) Some reviews criticized the series for creating a stark moral dichotomy, in which the scientists are depicted as overly heroic while the government and plant officials are uniformly villainous.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gessen-59)[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-csmonitor-67)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-68)[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gale4-69) The occasional threats of execution from government officials were also seen by some as anachronistic: Russian-American journalist [Masha Gessen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masha_Gessen "Masha Gessen") argues that "summary executions, or even delayed executions on orders of a single apparatchik, were not a feature of Soviet life after the nineteen-thirties".[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Gessen-59)[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-MoscowTimes-63) Higginbotham takes a more positive view of the portrayal of the authorities, arguing that the unconcerned attitude of the central government was accurately depicted.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-cbsaccurate-52)
The miniseries premiered on May 6, 2019, on HBO. In the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, it premiered on May 7, 2019, on [Sky Atlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Atlantic "Sky Atlantic").
The miniseries was released on [Blu-ray](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray "Blu-ray") and [DVD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD "DVD") on October 1, 2019.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-70) A [4K](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution "4K resolution") [Ultra HD Blu-ray](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray "Ultra HD Blu-ray") was released on December 1, 2020.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-71)
*Chernobyl* received widespread critical acclaim. On review aggregator [Rotten Tomatoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_Tomatoes "Rotten Tomatoes"), the series has an approval rating of 95% based on 103 reviews, with an average rating of 8.9/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "*Chernobyl* rivets with a creeping dread that never dissipates, dramatizing a national tragedy with sterling craft and an intelligent dissection of institutional rot."[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-72) On [Metacritic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacritic "Metacritic"), it has a weighted average score of 82 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-73)
Reviewers for *[The Atlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic "The Atlantic")*, *[The Washington Post](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post "The Washington Post")*, and the [BBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC "BBC") observed parallels to contemporary society by focusing on the power of information and how dishonest leaders can make mistakes beyond their comprehension.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-Saunders-74) [Sophie Gilbert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Gilbert "Sophie Gilbert") of *The Atlantic* hailed the series as a "grim disquisition on the toll of devaluing the truth";[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-75) [Hank Stuever](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Stuever "Hank Stuever") of *The Washington Post* praised it for showcasing "what happens when lying is standard and authority is abused".[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-76) [Meera Syal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meera_Syal "Meera Syal") praised *Chernobyl* as a "fiercely intelligent exposition of the human cost of state [censorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship "Censorship"). Would love to see similar exposé of the [Bhopal disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster "Bhopal disaster")".[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-77) [David Morrison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Morrison_\(astrophysicist\) "David Morrison (astrophysicist)") was "struck by the attention to accuracy" and says the "series does an outstanding job of presenting the technical and human issues of the accident."[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-78)
Jennifer K. Crosby, writing for *The Objective Standard*, says that the miniseries "explores the reasons for this monumental catastrophe and illustrates how it was magnified by the evasion and denial of those in charge," adding that "although the true toll of the disaster on millions of lives will never be known, *Chernobyl* goes a long way toward helping us understand \[its\] real causes and effects."[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-79) In a negative article titled "Chernobyl: The Show Russiagate Wrote," Aaron Giovannone of the American left-wing publication *[Jacobin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobin_\(magazine\) "Jacobin (magazine)")* wrote that "even as we worry about the ongoing ecological crisis caused by capitalism, Chernobyl revels in the failure of the historical alternative to capitalism, which reinforces the status quo, offering us no way out of the crisis."[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-80)
#### Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian response
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)&action=edit§ion=17 "Edit section: Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian response")\]
The miniseries was well received by some critics and audiences in Russia.[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-81)[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-82)[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-83) [Vladimir Medinsky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Medinsky "Vladimir Medinsky"), Russian culture minister, whose father was one of the [Chernobyl liquidators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_liquidators "Chernobyl liquidators"), called the series "masterfully made" and "filmed with great respect for ordinary people".[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-84) It was reported that Russian state-run [NTV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTV_\(Russia\) "NTV (Russia)") television channel has been producing its own "patriotic" version of the Chernobyl story in which the [CIA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency "Central Intelligence Agency") plays a key role in the disaster.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-85)[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-86) The Russians then claimed that the series in question had been in production since before HBO's miniseries and was not created in response to it.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-87) An apparent trailer for the series was uploaded to [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") but was later deleted following negative reaction from the Russian viewers.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-88)
In a statement, [Sergey Malinkovich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Malinkovich "Sergey Malinkovich"), the head of the executive committee of the central committee of the [Communists of Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communists_of_Russia "Communists of Russia") party, called for a criminal libel lawsuit to be brought under the [Criminal Code of Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_Code_of_Russia "Criminal Code of Russia") against *Chernobyl*'s writer, director and producers, describing the show as "disgusting".[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-89)[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-90)[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-91) He also demanded that Russia's [Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Service_for_Supervision_of_Communications,_Information_Technology_and_Mass_Media "Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media") (Roskomnadzor) block access to the "filthy" miniseries.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-92) Marianna Prysiazhniuk of *[Vice Media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Media "Vice Media")* noted that multiple Russian media outlets describe the miniseries as one-sided, incomplete, or anti-Russian propaganda.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-93) *[Argumenty i Fakty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumenty_i_Fakty "Argumenty i Fakty")* dismissed the show as "a caricature and not the truth" and "The only things missing are the bears and accordions!" said Stanislav Natanzon, lead anchor of [Russia-24](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia-24 "Russia-24"), one of the country's main state-run news channels.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-94)
In Ukraine, Anna Korolevska, deputy director at the [Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_National_Chernobyl_Museum "Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum") in Kyiv, said "Today young people coming to power in Ukraine know nothing about that disaster in 1986. It was a necessary film to make and HBO have obviously tried their best; as for us, we are going to create a special tour about Chernobyl's historic truth, inspired by the HBO series."[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-95) Bermet Talant, a Kyrgyz journalist, noted that "In Russia, a state that still takes [pride in the Soviet legacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Sovietism "Neo-Sovietism"), the series has faced criticism from the official media. Meanwhile, many in Ukraine appreciated the series for humanizing a tragic chapter in the country's history. \[...\] Ukrainian viewers also appreciated HBO's *Chernobyl* for praising the heroism and self-sacrifice of ordinary people."[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_\(miniseries\)#cite_note-96)
