“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.”

Agree with @alicanvergin with here. good yet not so historically accurate series.

"My first time-- Afghanistan-- we were moving through a house-- a man was suddenly there-- and I shot him in the stomach.

That's a real war story.

They're never good stories, like in movies. They're shit. Man is there, boom, stomach.

I was so scared, I didn't pull the trigger again for the rest of the day.

I thought, well-- that's it, Bacho. You put a bullet in someone. You're not you anymore. You'll never be you again.

But then you wake up the next morning, and... you're still you. And you realize-- that was you all along. You just didn't know."

- Bacho, Chernobyl, Episode 4

"I have been a part of this system for 44 years, so listen carefully. I have known braver souls than you, Khomyuk. Men who had their moment and did nothing, because when it is your life and the lives of everyone you love, your moral conviction doesn't mean a damn thing It leaves you. And all you want at that moment is not to be shot." - Boris Shcherbina, Chernobyl TV Miniseries [2019]
