PS: if this S**t happens again in these days. The response would be far slower. We saw this with COVID how hard government mobilized. A tragedy like Chernobyl would have a lot more repercussions

Thanks for the reply, there are a lot of great pix here.

Yes, I know about this channel. Another thing is that most of the Soviet films about Chernobyl have not been translated into English. For example, the best films "The Bell of Chernobyl" and "Two Colors of Time" cannot be found even in good quality! And we are also talking about translation...

About disasters. You have a good example - Fukushima. And there is a good, clear example of the actions of the capitalist system in an accident of this magnitude. The USSR was able to eliminate most of the consequences of the accident in six months. Build a sarcophagus, provide new housing for the evacuated population (a whole city was built - Slavutich), decontaminate the territory, return three stopped power units to work.

By the way, I don't understand a lot about this excerpt from the video chronicle. There is a lot of chaos here. There were many protective rubber kits in the Zone, they were constantly worn during decontamination work. But here... One could say that it is hot - in hot weather it is very difficult to use them, no more than twenty minutes. But they are in wadded jackets. In short, everything is complicated.

I will attach photos of posts of special processing (PUSO). Here you can see a soldier in protective clothing. A special powder SF-2U was used to clean the machines. This powder is similar to washing powder, but it gives a very abundant lather, which helps to clean the equipment from dust.

In case of war it would look like this

Heavy engineering vehicle. They were intended for clearing rubble, destroying anti-tank fortifications. In Chernobyl, they were used as bulldozers - they demolished radioactive houses. This car has its own name - "Annushka (Anna)"

More about the economy. The use of machines in a radioactive zone led to the fact that they themselves became radioactive. Fine dust was hammered into various places, under the paint, into the engine, even into microscopic cracks on the rubber. Each machine was processed daily at special points (when the soldiers returned from work to the base). If the car did not reach the required level after three treatments, it was taken to the parking lot. She stood there until the level of radioactive contamination subsided. If the car remained radioactive, then it was dismantled into parts, the dirtiest was buried. Curiously, some units (for example, radiation reconnaissance) ignored special processing posts. These soldiers traveled in BRDM throughout the Zone, often their cars became works of art - in a week comfortable seats from a Volga car, a tape recorder with cassettes and other useful property appeared there. On the one hand, it was a reluctance to modify the car again, and on the other, bravado. They say we are not afraid of radiation, and in general do not touch us - we are shell-shocked.

Soviet pop singer Alla Pugacheva in Chernobyl. The Soviet government paid great attention to the cultural recreation of the liquidators - they tried in every possible way to reduce moral stress. A variety of groups were sent to the Zone - dance, music, singers, comedians were sent.
A new movie was sent daily.

Back to the show again. I don’t know how deeply the stereotype is that all Russians drink vodka, while always in the middle of the day, without a snack and for no reason. These people, I can assume, have never drunk vodka themselves and do not know about the cultural use of alcohol.

In the USSR, they drank alcohol on occasion. Necessarily in the company (drinking alone - they will not understand that way). Necessarily with a snack, necessarily with speeches (usually they wish different pleasant benefits to each other). Moreover, the main goal is to reach the moment when it is good, and not to drink until unconscious. Many do not drink at all - I, for example, do not drink alcohol at all. Drinking vodka in the middle of the day, without a snack, especially in the heat (and in Ukraine it is very hot in summer) is nonsense! At least you will feel bad.

The liquidators were supplied with a lot of bottled drinks. It was Caucasian mineral water (Borjomi), lemonade (Duchess, Golden Key, Tarhun, Baikal) or juice (apple, pomegranate). In the photo: the liquidator drinks pomegranate juice.

Field tent camp. You can compare yourself with the chaos and filth that were shown in the movies.
