I'm Russian. I'm a refugee. I had to flee from my country because the Soviet Union is not dead. Trust me, it's only spreading its mouldy wings. What Putin is doing right now is the exact copy of the country that gave him life - lies, corruption, shameless propaganda. The Chernobyl he's building right now has a faulty core. I couldn't have asked for a more subtle hint from the makers of this wonderful series. Bravo!

If Jared Harris doesn't receive all the possible accolades for his work, this world won't make any sense. A precise, reserved, carefully thought through performance.

For all the idi... sorry, people here who are asking for the Russian accent in the series: thank God you're not filmmakers.
