CHANNEL PLAYLIST:   • RED MYTH  

In this video you will hear the incredible true story of a man whom the Soviet system officially recorded as dead, yet who managed to escape from Vorkutlag, cross the Arctic tundra and the Barents Sea, and return home decades later. You will learn what was hidden in the files marked “liquidated” and why this name was not supposed to reappear.

In this episode you will learn:

Who Georgy Tenno was before his arrest and how his family’s fate was broken.

What Vorkutlag really was and how prisoners fought for survival there.

How two men dared to escape north, into the empty tundra and toward the Barents Sea.

What happened in Norway, how a new identity was created, and why he still risked returning to Tallinn.

Why his story became a symbol for Estonia and for all former prisoners of the Soviet camps.

All facts are based on carefully collected testimonies, documents and historical research, so you can form your own opinion.
