Voice of Chernobyl is a propaganda piece. It is full of blatant lies and was instantly rejected by everyone having a slight idea about radiation effects - i read a lot about it in the FidoNet days when it first came out - people ranging from Clinic #6 (radiation) doctors down to 19-year old Army soldiers trained in NBC protection - literally laughed their asses off it.
Liquidators actually have longer life expectancy than common folk. Compared to the control group (males of same age starting the same year), more of them are alive today (which is mostly explained by the regular health checkups they all get for free so they are less likely to die from long-neglected chronic diseases Slavic men are very prone to). This is true for 3 liquidator groups out of 4 (that is, to everyone who wasn't on the scene during the first night - of those, and that's a very small group of under 700 people, most suffered radiation sickness or trauma and their life expectancy is of course, shorter).
No one of civilians including Pripyat residents, could have suffered any level of radiation damage at all.
