I tried to watch "Černo-NE-byľ" but the English captions only went so far and my Russian isn't that good yet

The narrative goes that it was the KPSS that tried to obscure what happened, but I want to know the ML side of the story.

In terms of technical/scientific explanations of what happened, I think Scott Manley and Kyle Hill have done great videos on that.

In terms of the political side, I think it was Viki1999 who did a video discussing that a bit more. It could have been another lefty YouTuber though.

I'm hesitant to watch videos on Chernobyl from Kyle Hill.

Wait that nerd science guy makes stuff about real things? I thought he just did superhero stuff

Right before Russia's special operation, Kyle developed a supreme fascination with Chernobyl. I haven't watched any of his videos because I have a feeling it'll be neoliberal nonsense.

not really, he's very focused on the scientific details, i cant remember him talkimg about the political side at all.

i share the same worries, not with that channel specifically but the things in general, we are seeing history being rewritten to demonize russia ever since the SMO.

like i found a channel about aviation, that basically all videos since the start of the smo were about russia/soviet union fuckups or that the red army strength was just a show, not real.

the same principle applies to everything else about soviet union
