Crosspost "Remember HBO's Chernobyl? It would've an incredibly acurate description of the events, wasn't for Ulana Khomyuk." from /r/MenInMedia:

Completely fake character. Never existed, not even someone that could be similar.

She's ment to represent all of the people whose names were forgoten in the disaster; unfortunatly nobady with a brain cell would believe that.

Ulana Khomyuk shows the actual real characters that they where wrong. She's presented as the most inteligent, the one that always knows what to say, do, think and is always in the moral highground.

Valery Legasov. The man who actually solved most of that disaster is presented as an imbecile who almost causes a nuclear explosion because his tiny brain didn't consider how the plant actually functions.

No, Legasov needed the help of Khomyuk (a physicist that had no info on the actual arquitecture of the plant and whose entire information of the event even ocurring was an indication of radition in her town far away from chernobyl) to know what would happen in the plant.

It was also Khomyuk who told Legasov that he needed to say the truth and stop being afraid. Because of course Legasov was some sort of coward and he needed of the courageous Khomyuk to finally say the truth.

Valery Legasov was the one that took most of the actions to resolve the issue, he continuesly asked for evacuation and pressured the soviet government to tell the truth, he continuesly spread information of the ocurrences to other scientists despite how we all know the soviet government was with information they didn't like. His efforts and self sacrifice as well as disillusion with his government led him to comit suicide.

HBO took Legasov's acomplishment's, courage and heroism to give them to a fictional character for what is evidently feminist propaganda.

What a shame...
