About this episode
The episode explores the suicide of Evgeny Postrigan in a secretive nuclear city and uncovers a web of corruption and embezzlement.
Senior accountant Evgeny Postrigan hangs himself in the garage of his home in the closed city of Zheleznogorsk. This is a place shrouded in secrecy, where weapons grade plutonium and military satellites are produced. On the surface, Postrigan was just depressed. But we dug deeper and discovered a huge web of corruption and state embezzlement... Jake Hanrahan's projects: www.hanrahan.tv See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
