I support Dyatlov

Nem is vagyok akkor Csernobil fangörl, mert:

Nem akarok Csernobilba menni, mert gyereket jobban szeretnék,

Csak háromszor néztem meg a sorit elejétől a végéig (a Jézuska hozta DVD-m is a nővéremnél van most),

Nukimérnök sem akarok lenni, mert fos vagyok fizikából,

Likvidátor kitüntit sem akarok, mert pofátlanság azokkal szemben, akik az életükkel vagy az egészségükkel fizettek ezért a plecsniért,

Az ötlettelen csernobilos mémektől falra mászom,

Lenya és Szása, na ők megvannak, de Gyatlov elvtihez kötődöm,

A sori zenéje tök jó, de önmagában nyomasztó, ortodox egyházi énekeket szoktam, ha csernobilos hangulatban vagyok,

Oroszul sem tanulok, mert több nyelv már nem fér a fejembe,

A reaktorról sem tudok mindent. Ha az üzemeltető mérnökök nem ismerték ki, mit tudhatok róla én a hármas fizikámmal?

A Nulladik óra tök jó, de a magyar szinkronja vacak, ráadasul a film azt a látszatot kelti, hogy Anatolij Gyatlov személyén múlt az egész.

Én se néztem meg sokszor a sorit, egyben nagyon nyomasztó. Jeleneteket nézek. 

Csak cosplayezni akarok nukimérnököt. A fizika sosem vonzott. 

A likvidátor kitüntetés morbid és kegyeletsértő.

Nem minden vicces, ami Csernobil mém... 

Lenya és Szása is stimmel, de nekem is Gyatlov a kedvencem. 

Egyáltalán nem hallgatom a soundtrackot, önmagában nem szeretem, mert elbőgöm magam rajta. Orosz népdalok <3

Én a sori miatt kezdtem komolyabban oroszul tanulni, ezt bevallom. Mindig is akartam mondjuk, de ez adta meg a végső lökést.

Kivéve, én azért egyszer elmennék Csernobilba, de nem idiótán szelfizgetni, inkább tiszteletadásképp, meg Tolya bácsi sirjára vinnék virágot Kijevben. Szerintem nem is csinálnék fotót Csernobil / Pripjaty területén sem (és Tolyát se vinném, még sugárzást nyelhetne el...)

Nulladik órának van magyar szinkronja...? Én angol felirattal láttam oroszul. Akkor azt megkeresem, mert mégha pocsék is, magyar szinkronos Gyatiorditást akarok. De hagyjátok már békén szegény Gyatit, nem csak rajta múlott... 

I’m not a Dyatlov expert but I know he had a son who died because of the radiation his father brought home. Craig Mazin mentioned that in the podcast but he said he didn’t want to resort to “armchair psychology” to explain Dyatlov’s reasons for wanting to “tame the atom”, that’s why he didn’t include that part of his background in the show. 

Or rather, he didn’t want his Dyatlov to have any redeeming aspects. He wanted a pure villain.

But that’s another story.

“After graduation, he worked in a shipbuilding plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, installing reactors into submarines. He received a radiation dose of 200 rem, a dose which typically causes mild radiation sickness, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue and reduction in resistance to infections, during a nuclear accident there. His son died of Leukemia.”

I read in here that he buried his son on a riverbank.

Btw he wrote a book,  ‘Chernobyl: How it happened’ (Chernobyl: Kak eto bylo).

Also there are excerpts here from Medvedev’s “Chernobyl Notebook”. I’m told it’s one of the first books that spoke about Chernobyl albeit a bit… inaccurate. 

I don’t know the son’s name although I believe that question has been posed before.

A quick look at my saved files and my recent “deleted Dyatlov scene” post makes me think @bewareofdragon @siriuslymeg  @cinemaocd @my-dyatlov  and @the-jewish-marxist  know more than I do on the subject so you might want to ask them for further details…?

Dyatlov and his wife, Isabella Ivanovna actually had 3 children in total. 

He had a daughter also, who was married with a young, kindergarten-aged child by the time Chernobyl happened, so she was already grown up, and Dyatlov was not only a father but a grandfather also.

The girl might have been named Olga, as there is a postcard being auctioned on Ebay, which is written by an “Olya” to her family, the Dyatlov’s for 1st May. The “Vanyusha” she is addressing is her younger brother, Ivan Dyatlov. 

 It was his middle child, a young son, who died of leukemia at the age of 9, and his youngest child, a boy named Ivan Anatolijevich was born in 1967 and died in 2008 at the age of not even 40 yet. Ivan also was a nuclear physicist. 

Here is a photo of Ivan

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AAAAH I found it, the actual clip with Dyatlov’s deleted scene, it was right under our noses all this time.

As for Dyatlov, someone posted this on Insta, seems very interesting. https://instagram.com/_tolik_dyatlov_?igshid=2f8f1inmygw2

About his behaviour towards his co-workers, all I know is what I read in Plokhy’s book, where Mazin seems to have taken his Dyatlov headcanon from.

Here is Plokhy’s source (no 3).

Mazin also copy/pasted scenes and behaviours from TWO Chernobyl docudramas, one with Russian-speaking actors, super-villain Dyatlov among them.

So, although I trust books more than I trust TV shows, at this point I don’t know what to think about his behaviour.

The way he was depicted in the episode one already made me cringe (insisting it’s the feedwater that exploded, despite that from engineers’ testimony the feedwater theory was quickly abandoned as it became apparent this wasn’t the case), but I begrudgingly let it slip, thinking it’s just a one-off thing. And then in episode four they show him badmouthing Akimov and Toptunov, calling them incompetent idiots despite the fact that he was ON RECORD of defending them all the way when giving his testimony to the investigators.

It’s just shitty man. 

And the main problem with this is that the series blends the facts with the fiction extremely seamlessly and some random bloke who didn’t read anything about Chernobyl and never did any research will from now on know Dyatlov not as a harsh but actually competent person who’s been deprived of critical information about the device he was operating, but as a dumb 2D-flat “you didn’t see graphite on the roof” and “go and look into the nuclear reactor” cruel dipshit.

I thought you guys might find this interesting.  It’s an interview from 1992 that Anatoly Dyatlov gave for the Washington Post.  Whether or not you think the man’s portrayal in the Chernobyl miniseries is accurate (and personally I think the writers took a lot of liberties), it’s interesting to hear his side of the story.  

I love the way Bryukhanov reacts on Dyatlov’s collapse, how concerned he is. Without a single moment of hesitation, he rushes to the door to call for guards and orders to provide him with any possible aid. This is something that never fails to warm my heart.
