ПРОПАВШАЯ НЕВЕСТА: Девушка вышла за свадебным платьем и исчезла | Советский детектив

On the eve of her own wedding, Lena Sokolova disappears after going to a dress shop to pick up her wedding dress. According to the documents, she received the order and left, but investigator Viktor Karasev immediately notices something odd: the signature on the delivery log is forged, and the employee who supposedly handed her the dress never existed. It soon turns out that the dress itself disappeared several days before the bride's arrival, and an eyewitness saw Lena voluntarily get into a gray Volga car driven by a man she apparently knew well. Karasev's investigation leads him to events that occurred many years ago. It turns out that back in the late 1970s, Lena accidentally witnessed a major corruption scheme at a state-owned factory involving document forgery and the embezzlement of millions of rubles. As the investigator unravels a chain of mysterious deaths, missing witnesses, false identities, and years of cover-ups, it becomes clear that Lena's disappearance was not a kidnapping at all, but a carefully planned attempt to survive and hand over evidence that could ruin the careers of influential people decades later. 📚 SOURCES Archival materials of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.
