Russian communists will denounce the creator of Chernoby …

After the worldwide success of the Chernobyl series, which describes the explosion of reactor number four of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant and the inability of USSR ministers to control the disaster, the Russian Communist Party decided to take action on this issue. topic. Party leader Sergei Malinkovich announced that he would sue the creator and screenwriter of every episode of the HBO series that broke all records. The argument is that Chernobyl demonizes the image of the Soviet government and people.

In a statement, the group first asked Roskomnadzor – the television regulatory institution in Russia – to "limit access" to this production, claiming that it is safe. It was an "ideological tool" whose main objective was to "demonize" the Soviet Union. "The TV series on the dramatic events of April 1986 is an ideological tool designed to defame and demonize the image of the Soviet government and people," Malinkovich said.

The Russian Communists hope to invoke Article 129 of the Penal Code of their country and sue the creator of "Chernobyl" for defamation, alongside the rest of the team of producers and writers of the series. Malinkovich stressed that "although the chronology of the events of the series and the key moments correspond to the reality, the actions of the heroes themselves, the order of relations between institutions and communities and finally the climate moral in Soviet society the first example of an absolute lie ".

Malinkovich acknowledges that arresting those responsible for the series is a difficult task to accomplish. He therefore also suggests "to ban their entry into Russia" and expect that a country like "Cuba and China" will hold them and extradite them to this country. .

The Communists have already sent the respective requests to the Ministry of the Interior. "These gentlemen must understand that they have become fierce enemies of Russia," they said.

For his part, the Russian Minister of Culture, Vladimir Medinski, has already commented that the HBO series had been completed "in a masterly manner" while highlighting the "respect" shown by the creators towards "the l '. act of the people on foot ". "We thought it would be worse," he said a few days ago, so it is likely that demand will not prosper.
