      <![CDATA[I think this video is just to make people get creeped out by the fact that the Russian gov. could be doing experiments on people. I don't think this film was directed toward the people who were effected by the disaster. I pray no other disaster like Chernobyl will happen to anyone.

      <![CDATA[Im not Russian, but if I was, I would be quite offended by this movie, especially since it deals with a moment that haunts its victims till this day. First introduced to the event in high school, I was shocked to see the after effects of such a catastrophe. All the children being born with missing body parts, the agony they were all in. It was quite traumatizing. To even think about making a horror film that uses a location where tragedy once took place kinda makes me want to throw up. It simply allows me to see that there are people out there, who truly sustain tainted minds. Minds that would film anything in order to grab any little attention possible. Money drives people yes indeed, but there should be a limit to filming certain delicate and tragic events. I honestly would rather see a documentary on Chernobyl, than the depiction of some mockery.

      <![CDATA[The Blair Witch Project offended me, and I am not a witch! It mostly offended be by sucking badly. Given the record of the former Soviet Union when it comes to construction and safety (or lack thereof) of nuclear power plants I am shocked there have not been more terrible incidents. There are a few you don't know about mind you, they were more localized and less public

      <![CDATA[Yes, it was in the Soviet Union, but not in Russia. Those two aren't the same thing, nor are Ukraine and Russia interchangeable. During the Cold War, I used to sometimes hear people say "the Russians" etc. as shorthand for the Soviet Union as a whole, but it seemed especially odd here to see "Russia" used to refer to a specific event that happened in the Ukrainian republic, so I just wondered if the Chernobyl thing had been largely forgotten or something (I mostly see it invoked only in a vague metaphorical way).

      <![CDATA[@Geyser - Because they're right?  It's the Ukraine now, but it was part of the Soviet Union until 1991.  The Chernobyl disaster was in 1986.  <br>

At least, this is what Wikipedia tells me....
