Он искал ДИВЕРСАНТОВ. Но архивы вывели его на генерала МГБ

At first glance, everything looked like a routine inspection at a strategic Soviet plant. An anonymous tip about possible sabotage, a manufacturing defect, and suspicions against the engineers. But the deeper MGB Major Kirill Gnezdilov delved into the investigation, the more oddities surfaced. Why were old archival files connected to what was happening? Who was directing the investigation along a predetermined route? And why did the investigation unexpectedly lead to the person who was supposed to oversee it? This episode features archival materials, classified documents, internal investigations, witness testimony, and little-known details of the Plant No. 12 case. It's a story about how the search for saboteurs led to questions the system preferred not to answer.
