- An episode dedicated to the “military genius” (not really) of russian invaders in Ukraine. And I think that I finally got an answer to the question that bothered me for a while.

The perfect interlude and transition amidst all the surreal. I laughed out loud.
They deserve a collective Darwin Award for this.
i believe russia is the long time record holder for darwin awards
Good idea. I once sent a story to the Darwin Awards, it was turned down - somehow I believe that the Russian army might actually make it. I think I'll send the story to them.
Let's hope we all don't get nuked off of this s***. It won't matter to me I live at ground zero, I'll never know.
Oh yah. This war meets ALL the criteria.
@@Whistlewalk All criteria exept that I think Darwin Awards exclude both war and being drunk. So perhaps no Darwin Award to them anyway. "Sorry, Russians, you might have to try even harder." But I must say they certainly try their best to get the award.
For the people who sent the first person into space, they have really gone backward with their intelligence… thanks for your reports! Stay safe and we all hope that it will all end soon!
The answer is simple: Mr. Korolyov, who sent the first person into the space, was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. Soviet Union was so successful only cause Ukrainians were part of it.
@@StarskyUA It’s become glaringly obvious who the brains of the operation in the USSR were.
@@StarskyUA That and their reliance on Nazi scientists.
@@StarskyUA The plot thickens!
The Vostok capsule was not finished when Gagarin went into space, the parachutes didnt work and so Gagarin had to wait to be 6-7km from the ground and open the hatch to jump and deploy an individual parachute.
Fun fact: During russian retreat from Chernobyl they took their radioactive selves, trucks, tanks, and equipment back to Belarus contaminating their bases.
Do you know that their shits n urines are also radioactive? I know this from a medical perspective. 🤣
Good...let them contaminate away, doing the world a huge favor.
When will Belarus learn to never trust Russian... 'ideas', 'plans' or 'strategies'

This is what happens when your leaders are living in an alternate reality, they keep on preaching the glorious Soviet times while failing to acknowledge their mistakes and now their own forces suffer because of ignorance.
They left Chernobyl but Chernobyl will stay with them.
Thank you for these reports, hopefully pieces like these will inform more people why Chernobyl is called the Zone of Alienation.
Can we vote for Chernobyl being the MVP of the war for Ukraine war with Russia?
Thus the gift of Chernobyl, "What is the cost of lies?"

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.
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 :(
@@polystirenman1 "The Soviet Union was alerting the rest of the world in Vienna"?... really?... where did you get that? 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.
.
I will never forget that experience, and to hear some Russian troll describe it as Russia being the hero is truly dispicable.
they downplayed it in 91... but the whole of europe knew what went down. and people in that part of the world know history a little better then other parts of the world and for them not to know this since the begenning of the internet... its not like chernobyl was in south africa.. was literally few hundreads of metres from them.
@@polystirenman1 i can smell the rubles in this comment 😂😂you(ussr) literally lied to The entire world and Russia still continues to lie to their own citizens abt the reality of it to this day💀

@@vulcrian729 agreed
@@vulcrian729 Do you think that one day war will be something in the past? It’s fucked up because humans can’t evolve without conflict.
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.
I didn't know that, thanks for the info. Also slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Are you sure about that? There are other reactors there that were not damaged by the '86 event.
That power plant is radioactive for almost 100 years. So needs a lot of maintenance
@@bartofilms the other reactors ran until 1999, then they stopped producing electricity for the grid.
It says on Wikipedia that the decommissioning will be complete by around 2065, according to the estimated schedule. Takes quite a bit of time.
My wife is Ukrainian and she arranged for me a private tour of Chornobyl. We went into a few places you were not supposed to go and our dosimeters went absolutely nuts. I can't even imagine the insanity of telling troops to dig there and the insanity of following those orders.
them soldiers are dead or are still dying!
Noone can, becouse this fairy tale is ukranian propoganda.
not going to lie I think your wife was trying to kill you lol. Just joking ofc
@@dewfree5869 To be honest the levels they got likely aren't that high and likely less than an air crew received in 1 year of normal duties in the air. Discussions about these topics are often hugely overexaggerated and there is almost no place outside in Chernobyl that would lead to any type of acute radiation sickness. I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I want to see dosage readings in the area of clearly over 100 millisieverts.
Most people without the specific medical and scientific training to understand radiation and it's health risks cannot assess how much risk they might be in. I'm guessing that also includes you.
"I told them to dig deeper."
I love that guy!
Thanks for the report, Operator Statsky 💛💙
"Yeah I think you need to dig a bit deeper, for safety of course" 🤣🤣
That mural is beautiful!
Whoever told Russian soldiers to dig deeper, needs to be awarded the highest medal of valor and given a comedy special on Netflix.
Real time "Tragic Comedy Award".
No. Many of those soldiers are victims too. They are sons and fathers. Many don't want to be there. There are also soldiers doing unspeakably bad things. The workers on the ground should be able to see difference. That general should be fed the soil that he's making his troops dig in. (It's difficult to believe that a general took Chernobyl simply because he wanted a safe headquarters. But then again, there's no reason that would make any sense.)
@@brianwest2775 look from their point of view: it wasn't the general keeping them hostage, keeping guard outside of their livong quarters, ensuring they can't escape etc. It was all those "victims". Sure you gotta see the difference but it's not like they aren't guilty at all.
Idiots dug trenches in the radioactive hotspots. That's where most of the radioactive isotopes are, in the soil
Thanks OS - Always A Pleasure Mate! - Slava Ukraine - From Oregon USA!
Well described excellent for information untainted by the mainstream press. Powerful work.
The first thing I heard after the invasion is that they took control of Chernobyl. Who in their right minds takes control of Chernobyl? That's when I knew they had absolutely no idea of what they were doing.
The Ukrainians actually anticipated that before the invasion started that the Russians would come trough there and had set up a defensive line forcing the Russians to establish a presence in the contaminated zone
what the general thought makes sense tho, he isn't the one digging anyways
Taking the area was one thing, but when they started digging trenches they were off their rocker. When the rain comes it washes the radioactive dust off the pavement, into the dirt, where it settles. You're fine around there honesty. Just stay on the pavement.
And yea those animals might create a false sense of safety but they only live for 5-7 years. If they cause enough cellular damage to inflict a ton of cancer a decade from now, they'll be dead from other causes before that's a factor.
You ask me, it's a decision from the higher-ups to gain a position that it could be a nightmare to start a conflict in. You start a military situation around the plant and you risk *a lot* going wrong. If they manage to maintain this position, it's a very strong foothold, until all their soldiers get cancer

After being told (by the staff) where they were, why didn't they use their phones to confirm their location and look up how dangerous it was? We know many of them had their phones with them.
His English is so good! Stay safe, stay strong, and be loved. You guys are amazing
I worked at a shipyard in the 1990s on the USS Enterprise overhaul. They were removing some radioactive materials that contained radioactive water It leaked onto the pavement.They had to send in a special team to dig up every section of pavement that the radioactive material touched. Radioactive material is no joke.
Sure isn't. Hope all were safe. No way to die.
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.
@@Whiskey11Gaming good input
@Malcolm Caden they won't find it here. Not the ones that would care anyway. They are censored and directed to choice media on their networks se as we are in the US
My uncle was on the Enterprise in the 70s, as a nuclear engineer!
A brilliant piece of journalism. I love how Operator Starsky has the same questions and natural responses we all do.......this is one the best channels on CZcams.
Sadly, if/when he is hired in to a mainstream media outlet post war he will be silenced just like anyone who gets in the game. I have no doubt allot of folks on the big networks used to be genuine good people also. I wish him the best and am equally impressed as you stated. But the world in general is not going in a good direction fast as it should be considering how fast we are using up natural resources.
If this mess doesn't get on track soon there is bound to be catastrophic war like this across the globe and with Nuclear weapons still being legal for certain countries we are destined to use them on each other eventually.
Why can't political leaders truly work for all of mankind with their great power?
@@ericluffy7970 you covered alot of topics in that statement. I'm sure Operator Starsky will want to just get on with his life after this is over...still it would cool if he kept us informed about ukraine during the rebuilding.

Thank you for your report, Operator Starsky!
yo Operator Starsky! I hope youre as good as the situation allows you to be. Greetings from Finland, its a tough job, personally i cant even imagine how it is there in the battlefield, but youre doing it for the right reason, just like my forefathers did in 1939-1940 and again from 1941 to 1944. There are no words powerful enough to describe what Ukraine is doing right now! All of the nordic/transatlantic people are rooting for you guys!! Give em hell!! Fight for freedom!!! SLAVA UKRAINI!!!
That there are people in Russia that apparently never heard of Chernobyl tells you that the accident (which is engraved in my mind since 1986) is not talked about in Russia as it probably is not aligned with the vision of ‘the good old soviet times, when Russia was great’. Unbelievable…
De-Putinize would not only be better but also necessary.
Soviet reactor never have accident, comrade.
It's a strange logic you apply here. Only because it's engraved in your mind doesn't mean other people should know about it. And why would all people in Russia should know about something that happened more than 30 years ago? The older generations surely know. 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.
Be careful Starsky. Stay safe, you and your comrades. We don't want either of you to be harmed. Much love ❤

Russia managed to play itself by:
A) making more border countries want to join NATO
B) making Western Europe and most of Eastern Europe beef up military and become more against it.
C) Crippling it’s economy by getting sanctions and Europe deciding to ditch its reliance of Russian gas and oil due to its actions.
D) Losing political power in various positions.
E) Getting the US to help Ukraine.

Pretty sure the entire Russian invasion of Ukraine will be known to history as 'Operation Dumbass". This being one of the lowlights. An entire battalion group just got themselves blown up trying to cross a river as well, a truly amazing feat only the Russians could pull off.
Recent news, they are trying to cross that part of the river again, with a third bridge this time. Hopefully, they will be pushed back.
That is a brilliant name for it! It really fits. Putin is trying to use 19th Century tactics while the Ukrainians use 21st Century tactics. Keep feeding the Ukrainians the weapons and watch Russia disintegrate.
@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.
@N Fels absolutely. Demographics and time is against Russia but the bear must not be underestimated.
"The Dumbass War" if you will.
God bless Ukraine from the UK ✌..
Thank u Starsky, stay safe!
The situation at Chernobyl is the perfect microcosm of the Russian military mindset. You couldn't invent a better example.
Yes, he couldn't invent better lie. Have you seen any trench dug by Russian there, don't you think whole world media would show it all the time if it existed? Russians went there because they didn't want to be acused of releasing radioactive materials so thank them for this. I'll pay you 1000eur for good proof of what this agent who can't write Chetnobyl said.

1. There are plenty of videos of Russian digging at Chernobyl on CZcams. A 3 second search isn't that hard. Here's one for you: czcams.com/video/frIe7gk7jRI/video.html&ab_channel=TheSun
2. The Russians set up at Chernobyl because they knew Ukraine wouldn't shell them there.
3. If you're going to criticize someone's spelling of Chernobyl, make sure you don't misspell it yourself. Don't type something wrong like "Chetnobyl" for example. You'll look stupid.

I can’t feel sorry for them. They have created their own mess. Everyone knows that no one was to be there for at least 50 years. They would capture it to be “safe”, 😂 but instead they looked stupid to the rest of the world. Forever Ukraine 🇺🇦
czcams.com/video/_HAuSkW-1ek/video.html
Finally its here.
It’s sad for the ones that had absolutely no idea of where they were or what they were doing.
Who knows? Perhaps they are so impoverished financially that their black and white TV just shows replays of 1945 🤷♀️? They never got the news that this is 2022 and invading toxic wasteland is no longer cool, go figure!
The soldiers didn't know, they weren't told, and thusly weren't equipped properly to take a nuclear power facility let alone one as infamous as this. I do feel sorry for them. Those that were giving the orders, nope.
It worse than when Trump told the American people to inject bleach to kill Covid. I think there were some people hospitalised for ingesting disinfectant and shit.
We're from the opposite side of the planet, furthest from Chernobyl, and yet we know enough to never to mess with it if we get the chance to travel. It blew up more than 35 years ago and there has been countless documentaries and news features about it almost every year. I guess news and facts do not travel well in Russia.
Russia rewrites its history to cover up and deny these events.
Remember that those in the Russian army are not the brightest nor the most educated Russians, not even near... they really are cannon fodder from poorer peripheral areas (so mothers don't make much noise when they die) and dumb enough to sign the contract.
No guarantee every Orc in that herde knew exactly where they were. Good chance they did with all the markings that are up around the area. But there are still people that live in that 1000 square mile zone to this day.
Most of chernobyl is safe enough to be in for weeks to months but then there are places like the reactor and the red forest that are extremely radioactive
As said, you can visit chornobyl quite safely. Just know where you can stay and where not.
Much love to you and your great country starsky from the uk 💙💛💙💛✊✊!!!!

Very enlightening vlog Operator Starsky!
I listened to your cast with times radio at one point you said you try to find interesting things to talk about.

I think in part because the invader wanted actual combat experience in a radioactive environment.
not an accident or an over-sight, they were human guinea pigs.
This makes sense...
Every semi-intelligent person knows what will happen to an animal in a radioactive area - they die. Who needs to be there to find out!
Nah, they did plenty of that back in Soviet times. Just like every single nuclear power did.
This is a case of reckless leadership and ignorant personell. That general knew exactly what was going on but he deemed the safety of his HQ from Ukrainian attacks more important than the safety of all of his soldiers. Its the story of this Russian war, isnt it? The ordinary Russian conscript counts as little as a Ukrainian life to the Russian government and military leadership.
@@johncarroll7585 This is not exactly true. It is a game of jenga - radiation kick out bricks from your organism, the more radiation the more bricks missing. However individual luck is heavily involved. Well if large dose then of course your jenga is on fire.
One of the great advantages of having ignorant, uneducated troops (and citizens) is that the people in power can make them do all sorts of absolutely insane things without any fear of disobedience.
Knowledge is power.
Kinda like the Nazi battalions running around Ukraine that nobody talks about
In this case you mean control of knowledge is power
In Putin's Russia, ignorance is strength.
Because evil equals stupidity. The good will always prevail.
Thank you for your work!
Trying to rationalize this General's thinking... he was smart enough to know Chernoble wouldn't be bombed... but not smart enough to keep his troops from digging their own graves? If I didn't know better, I'd say this General sabotaged his own battalion.
You don't think conscripts are expendable?
He thought the war will be over in less than a week and a little radiation won’t hurt anybody.
@@orexgabriel2448 who needs trenches if it's over in a week though?!
@@aaronsmith4940 good point, but maybe it is just standard procedure to protect troops from potential shelling.

I was skeptical when I first heard about Russians getting sick. I thought that maybe tracked vehicles kicked up some dirt that they breathed in. What they did was beyond anything I imagined.
Thank you for sharing. I would love to compare war notes with you one day. Keep sharing with us. Keep safe God bless you !
Thanks for the update, you are very helpful, stay safe. More power to Ukraine, I feel sad about the war. Keep up the good work.
At the time the Russians captured Chernobyl I asked, sarcastically: "Is this an experiment? Are the Russians trying to get their troops irradiated? Have they brought spiders?" because I assumed they were just being stupid. But this is a whole other level of depravity.
Soviet union secret service reported USA was building some Mutant by exposing people to radio activity...They reported also 1 Green giant. They even have some secret books of that time print with the title "Mutant" . One of the book was reported USA was able to have 4 turtles to become human like look and able to use Asian style fighting!! So yes it was a experiment to create a Russian mutant army!
I always thought they did it to threaten the west and to remind us of the catastrophe...
Orcs will be orcs.
It takes a strong nation to root out Nazis. Russia is that nation. czcams.com/video/0aCf6pmdY7E/video.html
@@MrClaudiuzz9 Pretty much.
I believe the irradiated soldiers were sent to hospitals in Belarus, no idea what happened to them there; one supposes that having soldiers succumbing to radiation sickness wouldn't be a good look if they'd been evacuated to Russia. On a lighter note, Starsky, your English is excellent, so good that it gets across your sardonic sense of humour. Slava Ukraina!
How do you know this? I'm not saying you are wrong, im just wondering how you came by this knowledge?
@@Nuffsed81 Yeah Starsky spent 2 years in the US... his verbs are all over the place but then again so r the verbs of most English-speaking people 🤣
@@susanmargaretwills6432 Internet generation. Harry Potter saved part of it, but that was 20 years ago.
It'd make sense, Ukraine and Belarus have a large amount of experience treating radiation exposure.
@@thomasparkin259 y, of course it makes sense. Did it happen though? Belarus has experience dealing with radiation does not man that the soldiers went to Belarus. It's pure conjecture.
Dig deeper... that's just next level savage🤣🤣
Thanks for the upload and info . Stay safe 👍
Prayers for your safety and Peace for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Ukraine is a bunch of nazis
That has been one of the scariest places on earth for me. I'm even getting anxious seeing you walk around it.
He should have added the sound of a Geiger counter ticking as a soundtrack 😃
@@atomicshadowman9143 Yes!

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.
@AMechanicalSoul
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 🤢
Yuri, this place must agree with you. You are glowing.
Thank you. You also. You look positively radiant.
I might have to get that on a T-shirt… “Dig Deeper”
THEY GOING TO GET WHAT THERE DESERVE!!!! SALVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
It's a shame they all didn't spend some real time there. Stay safe Operator Starsky. You and your men amd women.
A month is plenty if you live in that dirt
You really are amazing dude keep up the great work, btw the SpongeBob transitions kill me ever time 😂😂
As always, sir ,thank you for sharing this with us all, good fortune to you all, best wishes from the wirral..
Cockroaches are not effected by radiation so the russians should be alright. SALAVA UKRAINE🇺🇦💙💛
They're all dead thanks to Putin
"...We do not fight for honour, riches, or glory, but solely for freedom which no true man gives up but with his life...". The words from 1320 in the Declaration of Arbroath seem as applicable today as they were then. Slava Ukraine!
G'day mate from Australia, stay safe.
Another interesting post from Operator Starsky, well done ,keep fighting the good fight, stay safe,good luck✌
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
Thanks for such interesting reporting my friend. I've wondered what that place looked like... You all take care. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Thanks for this, stay safe! ❤️
That man who said -"dig deeper" needs a medal
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.
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!!
T CM: Beautifully put!
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
Cult.
God bless you brother
Glory and peace for UKRAINE 💪👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦Greetings from Poland 🙌👍💙💛💙💛
00:31 "So you probably saw this building in the British episodes of Chernobyl"
