    For all those wondering how the Russian soldiers could be so completely ignorant of the dangers in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, you have to understand how Russia (and the USSR) operates. We in the West, know about the extent of the Chernobyl disaster because we have no reason not to know about it or talk about it. But remember, this occurred in 1986 during the decline of the Soviet Union. The disaster was an absolute embarrassment for the soviet government. And like any good oppressive communist government, you never tell your people about your government's failures. The extent of the Chernobyl disaster was minimized and covered up in the soviet era to protect the incompetent government. The Soviet Union may have collapsed in 1991, but its text books and teaching curricula continue to live on in post-soviet Russia. If you understand that, it's not at all hard to understand why poorly-educated, mostly rural and impoverished, Russian conscripts educated by pro-soviet teachers would not know much, if anything at all, about the dangers surrounding the Chernobyl reactor site. It was conveniently (for the government) and inconveniently (for these soldiers) deleted from their history books. (Proof that what you don't know CAN kill you.)

      First of all, i,m against of Russia invading Ukraine, but sorry, you’re wrong.
      I’m from east Europe which was still occupied in 1986. Soviet Union was alerting the rest of the world in Vienna, but west downplayed the thread. I remember when i was a kid, getting iodine pills at school with lunch from the government as a countermeasure. They knew and didn't lie about it. We all know about Chernobyl.

    • @k.squared
      @k.squared Před 2 lety +4

      Highly doubt that's the case (I'm a Lithuanian who remembers 1986, even though I was just a kid). Yes, USSR downplayed the disaster dramatically in the beginning, but later it was one of the major reasons leading to the fall of this bloody empire. I would speculate these kids did not know about it not because they were not told about it in school or whatever, but because they didn't know much about anything. This army was conscripted of mostly ethnic minorities (of which there are a lot in RF), underprivileged men (who probably struggled in school and never went for higher education) from remote regions and little known autonomous republics of this fascist empire. These people were murdering pensioners for their old washing machines, what knowledge should we expect from them? I would also speculate many of them did not know what Kyiv or Lviv were, tbh. BTW, not to defend ruskies, but there are such unbelievably ignorant people everywhere and often in bigger numbers that we tend to admit :(

It is a well known fact admitted by Gorbachev that Sweden had detected nuclear fallout and approached the Russians with absolute proof asking what was going on and where? It was ONLY at this time that Gorbachev admitted the truth.
      .
      The plot gets thicker - or should I say sicker.
      .
      The west had detected that the Russians were giving people in the Soviet Union iodine. That story leaked out and it was obvious this was related to nuclear fallout. When Gorbachev was approached on this intelligence - he did what the Russians were good at doing denied and lied. Only when Swedish nuclear alarms began ringing did the world start to realize this was a huge issue for the world at large. And then nuclear alarms started ringing all throughout Europe - the world was on edge and Gorbachev finally admitted to his lies in an attempt to calm down the world - we had no idea what had truly happened and we were beginning to fear even worse things. Reluctantly Russia allowed transparency only when Europe threatened serious reaction to and ever growing radioactive cloud spreading across Europe.
      .
      To say, the "Soviet Union was alerting the rest of the world" could not be further from the truth. In South Africa we were getting news reports of a Radioactive cloud emanating from the Soviet Union and watching experts trying to analyse what they thought it could be while Europeans were starting to fly down to South Africa to escape what they thought was the beginning of the end of the world. It was truly scary stuff. Watching politicians contacting their respective Soviet embassies and watching President Reagan threaten Russia if they did not come clean.
      .
      Truly a ghastly evil nation for how they handled that situation.

    For those who do not know: The plant is no longer producing energy but the systems of the plant still need to run for several years after. This is needed for the radioactive matierials in the reactor to decay and to cool off the exhausted nuclear fuel. A crew needs to check on all systems round the clock and needs to do maintenance. The amount of workers is lower than during full operation, but there still need to be a lot of staff.

      That seems like a gross over reaction... yes, you need to be respectful to the possible dangers, but the amount of radioisotopes in cooling water is very low relative to the actual fuel itself. Short of there being damage to the reactor fuel, you'd be looking at tritium as the primary radiation source from cooling water alone and generally there isn't enough of it made to be a real concern to public health. Most people get exposed to more tritium from watches, night sights for firearms, and emergency exit signs than you would have from that.
      But, hey, sometimes it's easier to just tear out the concrete so people don't have adverse reactions to things they don't understand. Peace of mind, sort of stuff.

The younger generations were not even born then / have other interests. Do all people in your country / the Western countries know about it?

      ruZZian people are stuck in their schizophrenia. They worship the USSR but when the talk comes to the evil side of that regime they immediately say things like "Stalin was Georgian", despite it was all ruSSians who were in leading positions.
      Talk about the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 - they'll spin like it was teh Warsaw Pact responsible for it and they refuse to apologize.
      Again, the Warsaw pact was just another group of vassal states enslaved by evil ruSSia.
      When the tragedy in Chernobyl happened - people in the Ost Bloc learned about it DAYS later because all governments were shitting themselves and waited until Moscow says something.
      Moscow didn't want to admit what happened but had to budge once there was too much information coming from the free world via Radio Free Europe or BBC.

      Yes I think you are correct. I read an interview with a local ( must have worked at the plant) . He said he asked the ordinary soldiers if they knew where they where and the history. And they ALL ( young 20-30 yr olds) said they had NEVER heard of Chernobyl before they arrived, had NEVER heard about the disaster, never learned about it at school( !!!!!!!! ) and had no idea how dangerous digging trenches in the forest could be. He said he could not believe they could have been so ignorant.
      Well they know now as people have become ill ( we don't know if they have died as the Russians will NEVER tell us) imagine all that contaminated equipment , people , clothing all,going back into Russia and being the silent killer in on their own soil.

      @N Fels To lose that many men and vehicles in one fire mission means they were grouped in a way that was militarily unsound.
      Modern armies are able to coordinate these kinds of maneuvers without losing entire echelons.
      Russian command from the top down is incompetent to the point of disaster. That includes command digging its men into soil that is highly radioactive and will kill many of them at the dose rate they received.
      The entire operation is based on totally asinine assumptions like Ukraine is run by Nazis, it isn't. We know from election results that less than 2% of Ukrainian voters supported far right parties in the last elections.
      Or that NATO is a threat to Russia, the only way it would be is if Russia attacks a NATO nation and triggers Article Five.
      Or that all Putin had to do was invade Ukraine and the government, the army and the entire Ukrainian people would collapse like a house of cards and he could simply add them all to Russia.
      "Operation Dumbass" is a vast understatement of how idiotic Putin's entire approach to Ukraine and all his neighbours is.
      Not only has he failed utterly in Ukraine, he completely revitalized NATO which will probably have two new members as Finland and Sweden will announce in two days their decisions to join NATO.

      It's not crazy dangerous anymore but I wouldn't be digging holes and sleeping in them. There are still fully operational reactors there and daily employees.
      Fortunately for the world, there wasn't an artillery duel churning up everything.

      I bet the radiation sickness stories are propaganda.
      Yet I've never seen a modern army so slovenly. I bet they'll get typhus because the Russians seem incapable of digging a proper latrine. My NCOs would have skinned me alive for pooping in a fighting position 🤢

    Thank you, Operator Starsky. I had wondered why the Russians would want to occupy what is probably the deadliest place on earth. Your answer to this question makes perfect sense. The Russians were more interested in their officers, and supplies and they cared nothing for their troops. This is the answer to this question, and it explains why the Russians are losing. No planning, no logistics, no civility, NO morality, and NO regard for any human life. I hope that the Russian officers dug deeper than the enlisted men. I am an American, and I now regard Ukraine as our sister country. Victory and glory to Ukraine! May God protect and keep President Zelinskyy. I will be watching your channel. Jim

    The soldiers being oblivious to the effects snd the history of that place is astoundingly concerning. It's even (somewhat) funny that some kid in highschool from other place would know better about radiation safety (or even just about Chornobyl) than that one guy who spent their time digging trenches in the Red Forest, wallowing in the sPiCyYy DuSt.
    It would be funny to think about, if it weren't tragic.

    • @DoctorM42

      Tragedy is when *humans* suffer or die. Fortunately, only Russian soldiers suffered and and died in this story.

      That's what happens when you live under an autocratic regime that indoctrinates the people to retain control. It's also why most Russians actually believe this invasion was the right thing to do...

      Given the Soviet worship, I'm no longer surprised that they had no idea about one of the biggest failures of the Soviet Union. The craziest part of it all is that they still want to try to erase history.

      The average Netflix subscriber even knows what caused the power plant to explode, that the government had to evacuate Pripyat and surrounding area because it was too radioactive, that the forest changed its color because of radioactive soil.
      I guess soldiers didn't watch the series, though Kinopoisk gave it highest score for a TV series.

      You have to remember that the Chernobyl accident was largely covered up by the Russian media at the time, and is likely not referred to in school in Russia to this day. So rather a case of "you reap what you sow"

    Dear Starsky, I have never before witnessed war from such an upclose and personal perspective as you have brought to us here. It makes me ashamed of the human race to see the terrible destruction and death poured on others for no reason other than incredible hubris. It makes me proud to see the strength of resistance and the courage of those attacked who stand and fight back. It makes me sad and outraged to see the huge numbers of people (in Russia as well as in the USA and other parts of the world) who have given up reality and rely entirely on lies and insanity told them by wannabe-leaders with self-serving agendas. It gives me hope to see people like you and your comrades not only standing up to evil but sharing the fight vicariously with those of us who cannot stand beside you. I want to say Thank you! in the strongest possible way and let you know just how much you are appreciated!!

      All of Russia, US and other parts of the world have not given up reality and know when they are being lied to. Just as you are doing here. Telling lies. You say you can not stand beside them in this war. Many people including many Americans have gone there to fight along side . Just as you are able if you wore not a propagandist coward. I served my country for 6 years. You the propagandist coward is the type of person who gave me the reason to serve and rid the world of people like you who sit at in the comfort of home and pass judgement on others. May God protect the people of the world. In all countries!

      It's awful that so many people prefer to be willfully ignorant of an inconvenient reality.
      The madness that overtook the USA has spread to Russia, where it originally came from. It's like they pretend to have blinders to the Putin personality
