So, "Chernobyl". The joint product of two giant media corporations - WarnerMedia and Comcast. Yes, HBO and Sky are just their small divisions. If you were told that a VGTRK and Channel 1 (Russian government TV channels) are going to produce a TV show, you'd probably call it a propaganda, wouldn't you? Hey, this particular show right here sure seems nothing like it, yeah? One may even say that it was just a business product done in a free market environment and it has no political agenda. Simple as that, right?
The thing that amazes me the most, infuriates me, makes my blood boil - it's how it was received. I'm not talking about the reception of "Chernobyl" miniseries by the audiences worldwide, I'm talking about how it was received in our country. We have a saying in Russia about "God's dew": ignorant people get spat in their face and say that it came from heavens. And here we are, all up in this "God's dew", joyfully screaming and begging for more. What a great TV show! It's so true and realistic! Liquidators were so brave, we sympathize with them! We can't do a show like this! Are you out of your mind? Are you blind? Or deaf? Don't you understand what are they doing to you?
