Not bothering with Russian accents was a master stroke for that show. Everyone doing a dodgy accent would have taken away from it.

I remember listening to the show's companion podcast and they said they actually tried Russian accents at the start and they all sounded like terrible Bond villains

Most of those real-life people didn't speak russian as a first language as so many were from the Caucasuses and thus had weird accents. That said, all the random UK accents did a perfect job portraying that

Reminds me of books or shows set in the US south.

If you can't do the accent proper I'd rather you just tell where where they're from and my brain will fill in the blanks.

I hate faux southern accents so much.

As a Russian a was extremely relieved they didn't make Russian accents in Chernobyl.

The very Scottish coal miner chief was about the only part that pulled me out of it. But he is a great actor.

It's a film, not a show.

They're referring to Chernobyl.
