Servant of the People ✡ 1x06

I just love how unimpressed Bella Rudolfivna is. As if... she’s used to these kind of things...

*Turns to Yura*: do you know anything?

Meaning: “I love him”

i have something SO COOL TO TELL Y'ALL

so, my dad is 61 and a physicist. he graduated the physics university from bucharest. he volunteered to help for chernobyl research in 1986. he and his colleagues had to study the levels of strontium and iodine from romania and he had to check the radiation levels from the vegetables and foods. AND WHILE THEY WERE DOING THAT THEY GOT REPORTS FROM VALERY LEGASOV. MY DAD AND HIS COLLEAGUES LEGIT COMMUNICATED WITH VALERY LEGASOV. they had to tell him and the other scientists that worked at chernobyl all of their results. valery sent these communicates to his university every day AAAAAABDJADOAJDVAHB

Still not over this masterpiece

God, Valery, you can’t even have a shot of vodka properly.

He does the same in the scene with Ulana! He sips it like whiskey, whereas the “correct” way to drink vodka as a Russian is by downing the entire shot at once real fast (Russian word is “хлопнуть”, which is literally “to slap” a shot into one’s face).

I am very curious whether this was an intentional touch to highlight Valery’s sweet innocent dorkiness, or an actual acting mistake? (Unlikely, as Jared mentioned working with a literal Russian mannerisms coach and even learning how to properly nod the Russian way!)

Stellan on the other hand drinks his shot just right (in the scene with Tarakanov). I suppose that his Scandinavian Akvavit drinking skills are very much transferable here, didn’t need a coach for that! :)

@litttlesilkworm​ Well that’s really interesting but I was only highlighting the fact that he basically drops 1/3 of the vodka on himself because he’s so so clumsy 😅

Here’s a new gif where it can be seen better:

(fucking Johan why does everything have to be so dark???)

Hu, y'all remember @elenatria 's awesome post with the bts-moment where we saw that Boris owns a vest which turns him into a soft teddy bear?

I never realized he's wearing that vest in the tent-biorobot-scene:

We only see glimpses but it's there!

Boris in his vest and Valery in his turtleneck, it's all so soft 😍.

I imagine how they stood next to each other when they got dressed "it's a cold evening, you need more than just the jacket, Valery." 💙

LEAVE HIM ALONEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lovely photo of Valery from an unused take, and one of Valery and Boris!

They are social distancing 🙊
