Corrected entry: Dyatlov puts pressure on his subordinate, threatening to fire him. In the USSR it would be very hard for him to do so, because of strong labor unions. So it's unlikely that fear of being fired would force the worker to violate safety precautions.
Chernobyl (2019)
1 corrected entry in Vichnaya Pamyat
Starring: Jared Harris, Jessie Buckley, Paul Ritter
Genres: Drama
The Happiness of All Mankind - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Legasov proposes to use Bio-robots, Scherbina pours 2 glasses of vodka. One glass is about 80% full, another 60%. However, when glasses are placed on the table, they appear to be both filled to 80%. (00:39:27)
Trivia: Despite the overall level of accuracy in the show, one deliberate choice was to use "comrade [surname]", rather than the full name as is typical in formal Russian address. It was felt it would be too distracting for viewers.

Correction: Dyatlov didn't fire anybody but he repeatedly threatened Nikolai Fomin and Viktor Bryukhanov with dismissal if they didn't do what he told them to do. It may have been an empty threat but it is a matter of history.
Bryukhanov was the plant director and Fomin was the chief engineer. Both were Dyatlov's superiors, so he couldn't have threatened them. Most accounts say that he threatened Toptunov, and perhaps others in the control room.

Yes, Toptunov and Akimov mostly.
