Outside of Russia? Come on. Most young people know of Chernobyl because of the TV show. The tourism there spiked after HBO rolled it.
The former USSR is a totally different matter. It's a very well-known and painful, very close part of history. Not knowing about it is a shocking level of ignorance and miseducation, and yet - this is what we have.

It takes a certain mindset and a modicum of appreciation for history to watch Chernobyl. I don't think it's a stretch to think a 22yo Russian farmer signed up for the military is just as disinterested in history.
