How is he going to learn Russian history as a whole by reading about Chernobyl

>I just came back from the /lit/ reactor room
>there is no /lit/ core anymore
>the core has exploded
>it's just christcucks and trannies

Voices from Chernobyl

THIS IS HOW OUR FATHERS MINED

After finishing this show, I felt reasonably certain that I could operate a nuclear reactor.

>>19708026
Very simply

I fucking cannot stand it at all that all nuclear power plants do is boil water. The history of humanity is nothing but boiling water.
In the future there will be new ways to boil water and that's it. Fuck it.

Contemporary Russia by Bressler

Just read school book about Russian history

Seinfeld, the Sopranos and Chernobyl. Quite literally the only things to ever be shown on TV worth watching.

Serious answer: Read Ronald Suny's work on 20th century Russia. If you want the most relevant work as to how Russia got to Chernobyl's circumstances in the first place, read 'The Soviet Experiment'

>>19707896
The book is westoid trash. The show is great thanks to great acting.

>>19709502

The acting is literally the shittiest part of the show.

The history of the universe is boiling things, whether it be protons, helium or other compounds. Accept it nigger. We're here to boil things until they boil over.

Fellow /lit/ /tv/ crossovers: Chernobyl or Season 1 The Terror

It's closer than you think (depending on your conscious perspective)

Dumb thing I said, ignore

>>19708045
but how many roentgen?

>>19709020
swap Chernobyl for Mad Men and this is correct

>>19709020
Succession, Mad Men, Deadwood, Rome, and of course the greatest series ever created, oddly enough a spin-off, Better Call Saul.

>>19709020
I watched most HBO shows (30+), both long and short, and Chernobyl isn't even in my top 10.

>>19707865
Best country in the world as far as everyone is concerned. Will remain long after the USA is gone.

Enjoyed this and the New Russians. Reading how hard it was for him to make/keep soviet friends was fascinating.

>>19707865
be wary of russian decay porn (like chernobyl) which trades in tired western cliches about tartar despotism and slavic backwardness
