   Summary

   There was something new in him, something Valery hadn’t seen before — a dangerous edge that made it clear Boris Shcherbina was more than he let on.
    

   ---

   I saw Shcherbina, Khomyuk and Pikalov exchange glances while Legasov was busy with the blueprints in "Please, remain calm", and the story wrote itself from there.

   The characters bearing the names of historic persons are fictionalised versions of fictionalised characters from the HBO series and have nothing to do with the said persons.

   If something in the text looks/sounds like a quote from the series, it most probably is.
