That's BS. The Soviets didn't have to send them in there without radiation suits.

Government isn't to be trusted - they will use you and let you die without a second thought.

“The firefighters bore the brunt of that first wave,” Magala said.

Similar to Japanese Fukushima, firefighters encounters up to 100 millisieverts as they were walking... a good investigative movie about it :

The Soviets didn't have to send them in there without radiation suits.

And what pray tell is a radiation suit?

The only way to stop radiation is with shielding and with the levels at Chernobyl, for example on the roofs where many graphite blocks were, the shielding would have prevented the person from moving.

Now there are contamination suits to keep particles of radioactive material from getting on your skin and clothes. But they would have offered zero radiation protection at Chernobyl.
