Reply to comment by MissDiem in Is Chernobyl the scariest TV show ever made? by [deleted]

I thought the series was pretty directly based on Svetlana Alexievich's Chernobyl Prayer, which was a collection of interviews with people who had first hand knowledge of the events?

A lot of it was taken from Voices from Chernobyl by her, which I assume is just an alternate title. I own that one but admittedly haven’t read it just yet. She’s an amazing author though and Secondhand Time is one of the best I’ve ever read.
