I didn't see the show but why did the Soviets risked and sacrificed so many people trying to contain the explosion? Like, shit is already out of the bag, how much worse could it get? What's wrong with just evacuating the nearby towns and villages, wasnt Chernobyl out in the boonies anyways? What were they trying to do exactly and how effective it was?

there was a high risk of a secondary explosion that would have made the whole of Europe virtually uninhabitable, so they had to contain it

They needed to put the fire out so it stopped the spread of radioactive material into the atmosphere which went contaminate the whole northern part of Europe.

This. The Soviet Union had a very impressive industry on paper, but in fact most of its production was overreported to some extent. Deficites were common even in such important fields as the nuclear power. Atoms had to be reused.
