In this gripping episode, we delve into the dark and chilling history of human experimentation carried out by the Soviet secret services. Known variously as Laboratory 1, Laboratory 12, and Kamera, this covert facility specialized in the development and testing of poisons.

From mustard gas to ricin and cyanide, we explore how these lethal substances were tested on prisoners and other victims under the guise of medical treatment. The episode offers a thorough chronology of the laboratory's operations, revealing how it evolved from its inception in 1921 to its expansion into advanced biological weapons research in the 1990s.

Discover harrowing tales of prominent victims, such as General Alexander Kutupov and Nobel laureate Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and learn about the sinister objectives behind these experiments. We uncover the terrifying effects of these poisons and the overarching goal to create unattainable, undetectable chemicals.

This haunting story serves as a stark reminder of the past atrocities and a call to acknowledge and remember the victims to ensure history does not repeat itself.
