That old dude in episode 1 telling the younger dudes to remember the bravery of Lenin and the duty of the State to protect its “children” was pretty chilling. Seal off the city. Let no one in or out. The people of Chernobyl will be remembered as martyrs of the Motherland.

That’s how autocracies work. The State knows best, even when it completely fucks things up.

Yeah the old guy really stood out to me too. I found it very chilling yet very believable. How old would you say that guy was? Let’s say 70. He would have no memory other than the Soviet regime and unquestioning loyalty to the state.
