“He Wanted a Railway Across Siberia — But It Became a Mass Grave”

After surviving one of the deadliest wars in human history, the Soviet Union had barely begun to rebuild.
But Stalin — the dictator who ruled with fear — had a new vision.

A railway across the frozen end of the world.
A track so long it would become one of the most ambitious construction projects in history.

But there was a dark truth behind it:

❄️ 200,000 prisoners were forced to build it
❄️ Temperatures dropped to –50°C
❄️ Workers were starved, beaten, and worked to death
❄️ The railway was abandoned after his death
❄️ Today it is remembered as “The Dead Road”

This is the forgotten story of the railway that cost more lives than it ever saved —
Told in the cinematic, dark, mystery-driven style of Vault of Centuries.
