I was one year old when the disaster happened, so I can't tell you anything from my own experience. However, when I was a schoolboy, people who were participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the reactor explosion were invited to our meeting. What they told, in particular about how they carried the concrete wreckage of the reactor with their bare hands, clearly corresponds to what is shown in the series. I think this series reflects the truth about the tragic events of 1986 in sufficient detail.

As far as I know, there is still a ban on living in the 30 kilometer exclusion zone around Chernobyl, but many people ignore it.
