In 1986, Felicity Barringer was freelancing for the New York Times in Moscow when the Chernobyl Disaster occurred. She tells us what it was like to be an American journalist in the Soviet Union, talks about being followed by the KGB, and shares what she liked about the HBO miniseries' "Chernobyl" and what it got wrong. This is a fascinating conversation.
