Imagine a place where the temperature drops to -40°C, but the intellectual heat is hotter than anywhere else on Earth. In 1968, the Soviet Union expanded Akademgorodok—a "Science City" hidden deep in the Siberian Taiga.

It was meant to be a utopia for scientists. A place with French cognac, American jazz, and freedom from Moscow's bureaucracy. But as the city expanded, so did the surveillance.

In this deep-dive episode, we uncover the true story of the "Siberian Silicon Valley." From the genius children of the SESC to the secret military labs and the tragic crackdown of 1968.
