About

Anatoly Dyatlov (Анатолий Дятлов) is a character in the 2019 HBO mini-series Chernobyl based on the actual deputy chief-engineer of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Following the premiere of the series, the character, portrayed by the British actor Paul Ritter, gained a significant anti-fandom online, with multiple memes referencing his dialogue and actions appearing on Reddit, 4chan and other online platforms.

Origin

On May 6th, 2019, the first episode "1:23:45" of HBO historical drama mini-series Chernobyl premiered in the United States.[1] In the episode character Anatoly Dyatlov, based on the deputy chief-engineer of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov (Анатолий Степанович Дятлов), was introduced.
