Ukrainians vs. HBO’s ‘Chernobyl’ hit series

U.S. pay television network HBO may have violated Ukraine’s law during the production of its award-winning “Chernobyl” miniseries.

Several Ukrainian individuals and institutions have recently accused HBO of copyright infringement: Filmmaker Andriy Pryymachenko, the family of acclaimed photographer Igor Kostin, as well as two state enterprises working with films — all have noticed some of their works being featured in “Chernobyl” with no authorization.
