Loved the series? You will also love these few quotes:
Legasov: "To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for the truth, we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it. But it is always there, whether we see it or not,, whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn't care about our needs or wants. It doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: What is the cost of lies?"
Legasov: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognise the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories? In these stories, it doesn't matter who the heroes are. All we want to know it: Who is to blame?"
Zharkov: "No one leaves. We cut the phone lines. Contain the spread of misinformation. That is how we keep the people from undermining the fruits of their labour"
Dyatlov: "What does the dosimeter say?"
Akimov: "3.6 roentgen. But that's as high as ..."
Dyatlov: "3.6! Not great, not terrible"
Dyatlov: "You're confuse! RBMK reactor cores don't explode"
Garanin: "I must tell you, this is why nobody likes scientists. When we have a disease to cure, where are they? In a lab, noses in their books, and so grandma dies. But when there isn't a problem, they're everywhere, spreading fear"
Garanin: "Yes, I worked in a shoe factory and now I'm in charge. [raises a glass] To the workers of the world!"
Shcherbina: "Tell me how a nuclear reactor works or I'll have one of these soldiers throw you off the helicopter"
Bryukhanov: "It doesn't matter how it looks. Shcherbina's a pure bureaucrat, as stupid as he is pigheaded. We'll tell him the truth in the simplest terms possible. We'll be fine."
Shcherbina: "You'll do it because it must be done. You'll do it because nobody else can. And if you don't millions will die. If you tell me that's not enough, I won't believe you. This is what has always set our people apart. A thousand years of sacrifice in our veins. And every generation must know its own suffering. I spit on the people who did this, and I curse the price we have to pay. But I'm making my peace with it, now you make yours. And go into that water. Because it must be done."
Shcherbina: "You came of like a naive idiot. Naive idiots aren't a threat"
Legasov: "The atom is a humbling thing."
Tarakanov: "It's not humbling, it's humiliating"
Shcherbina: "We couldn't put a man on the moon. At least we can keep a man of a roof!"
Charkov: "But you know the old Russian proverb [Trust, but verify]."
Legasov: "[Why worry on something that isn't going to happen?] Oh that's perfect. We should put that on our money"
Legasov: "We're on dangerous ground right now, because of our secrets and our lies. They are practically what define us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until it we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there. Every lie incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid. That is how a RBMK reactor explodes. Lies"
Charkov: "Scientist and your idiot obsession with reasons. When the bullet hits your skull, what will it matter why?"
Legasov: "In a just world I would be shot for my lies. But not for this. Not for the truth"
Legasov: "There was nothing sane about Chernobyl. What happened there, what happened after...even the good we did, all of it...Madness"
