SUCCESSION (2018 - 2023)

SUCCESSION 2018 - 2023

In the darkness, there be dragons. 

I know that HBO Valery Legasov is not the real Valery Legasov, and that how HBO chooses to show Legasov after the Chernobyl disaster doesn’t really make a difference because it doesn’t impact what really happened, BUT

I am still nervous about the finale because I know there are people who are watching this show that don’t know what happened to Valery Legasov afterward.

There is only 60 minutes to wrap this story up. I’m worried about what might be skipped. The little things that made such a difference.

Things like:

He was in the hospital in spring of 1987 and they told him his bone marrow wasn’t functioning like it was supposed to.

Gorbachev personally crossed out the name ‘Legasov’ every time people were being given awards for their work at Chernobyl. Legasov was given a watch for his work instead as an insult.

He talked for 5 hours and then answered questions for hours more in Vienna and got a standing ovation. He was considered one of the top scientists in the world after that.

He was happy after his speech in Vienna, and then he met with Gorbachev and Party officials, and then he wasn’t the same after that. 

He tried, many times, to improve the safety of nuclear power, only for his proposals to be blocked again and again simply because of who he was.

The Party tried to erase his name from history. They tried to silence him.

As this battle of Legasov vs. the Party went on, he became increasingly an agitator of the Party, exposing the truth as much as he could.

Toward the end of his life, he miserably told his friends, “I told the truth in Vienna, but I didn’t tell the whole truth,” and he beat himself up for not saying all he wanted to say.

Obviously, that’s a lot of things. They can’t possibly hit them all.
