Half Lives is a series dedicated to telling the stories of the people who were involved in history's nuclear accidents, from their birth, to the mishap, and their life following. These lives are often mixed up with lies, rumors and controversies. This is their true story.

Anatoly Dyatlov was the Deputy Chief Engineer for Units Three and Four of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and was involved in the April 26th, 1986 disaster, present in the Control Room at the time of the explosion.

There are many fabrications about his actions, and he is generally portrayed as villain, however this episode of Half Lives covers the real story as he and other witnesses tell it, from his birth to his death.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Yes, the microphone is still not the best. I hope to have an actually good one soon. I really didn't expect the Chernobyl Iceberg Explained video to explode in popularity the way it has, and I am grateful to everyone who has watched it, nor did I expect the demand for more Chernobyl content. You wanted it, I hope you enjoy it. :)
