Now you look like minister of coal- Chernobyl

The Chernobyl disaster was caused by a nuclear accident that occurred on Saturday 26 April 1986, at the No. 4 reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR. It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history and was caused by one of only two nuclear energy accidents rated at seven—the maximum severity—on the International Nuclear Event Scale, the other being the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan. A series in the same name has been made with brilliant acting and direction from all actors.
This part of the series seems very deep in the context since all workers put their hands in the tidy suit of the Minister of coal and one of them tells "Now you look like minister of coal".....Brilliant !

[GameReaper]

fun fact the actual minister of coal was a ex miner and the miners who went actually respected him

[abloogywoogywoo]

The dry witty smile is wiped off his face the second the minister says "Chernobyl".
"We dig up coal, not bodies."

[owenlewis]

“Tell the truth. These men work in the dark. They see everything.”
What a line!

[zoidberg]

In reality Shadov the minister of mining had been a coal miner and worked his way up. There was no need to bribe of threaten the miners. They knew what was at stake.

Incredible men those miners...they speak more with action than words!

[SoundGGirl]

Alex Ferns (mining crew chief) is an INCREDIBLE actor. He is world class. Still a VERY handsome man too.

[fabiobonetta]

This serie may well be the greatest celebration I've ever seen of the toughness resilience heart and guts of the soviet people

[Balint.Savanyu]

These men were heroes. They did it, becasue, as Shcherbina said "it must be done. You'll do it because nobody else can. And if you dont, millions will die." They were the perfect Soviet citizen. "...go into that water. Because it must be done." The whole series was an ode, a hymn for the Soviet men, who did know, what "must be done".

[lepusistlich]

I like this scene even if it's not accurate.

[patrickradcliffe]

Hope that gentleman kept that suit as a badge of respect for those miners.

[wakdcanuck]

When you tell the truth more can be accomplished

[billlombard]

The Soviet union was already starting to collapse, institutions were already breaking down and respect for Soviet government

[RumbleDelta]

I love the long blink when he says "we dig for coal, not bodies." like even though he's a snarky bastard who was cracking jokes at the USSR just prior, Glukhov is grieved by the tragedy and knows what going there would mean for him and his men. But he goes without further protest because it's this or more people die.

[Paul-iexp]

The miinster may be an apparatchik, but he stands there and faces every miner he's sending.

[alexiscastle]

heroes all those soviet firefighters, nurses, liquidators, scientists who risked their own lives to safe people all over the world.

[InterstateTechno]

A wonderful moment to see; really unexpected. Great acting.

[cheapy]

Best scene in the best bit of TV in the last 10 yrs!!

[mistyo]

"Still wearing the f***ing hats"

[doug]

Doesn’t matter where u go in the world, miners are a breed of people

[TheWelshtrucker]

These Russian mines they must have been played by British miners defiant to the end reminds me off the 1984 coal miners strike
