Where was Chernobyl filmed?

2019 miniseries about the Chernobyl disaster

Chernobyl (2019–) was filmed in Vilnius, Visaginas and Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, 3 places named in its Wikipedia article's Filming section, in Lithuania. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as Lithuania, Ukraine. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Places per Wikipedia's Filming section

Wikipedia’s Filming section names 3 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this series as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this series’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

  “Some scenes of HBO's miniseries Chernobyl were filmed in Kaunas.” Wikipedia

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this series as shot in Lithuania, Ukraine, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
