Certainly, as the article shows, there were some creative choices (as in the visible black smoke from the plant that didn't exist), but I completely disagree with the assertion that the series implies that the problem was unique to the Soviet system. The entire point of having a series about a disaster in a country that ceased to exist nearly thirty years ago is that there is a lot that is applicable to the secrecy and buck-passing going on by bureaucracies in any system -- whether Soviet, Western government, or corporate.
