russian empire as gold was set out on a moment journey from this old city nearly a hundred years ago. the bolsheviks had seized power in russia often by nine hundred seventeen revolution the civil war was still raging and at that time there was fighting on the streets between the morning just wants movements and the bolshevik read all the power in the city changed hands many times this photo was taken in early nine hundred eighteen. the red cavalry is marching victoriously along the streets of. the bolsheviks seize this building as a matter of priority at the time it was the case of the national bank. nearly ninety years of paul since then but today too there is a bank behind the stores according to the banks accounts there was some one thousand two hundred eighty tons of valuables here in the one nine hundred eighteen including gold platinum and silva today the gold alone would be worth more than

twenty six billion dollars. in time that russian gold reserve was one of the world's largest if not the largest u.s. a had not yet accumulated. gold reserves it has now. transporting some. the bulky and heavy call go was quite a problem it's wasted no time laying travel tracks leading to the building the idea was to use trams to take the gold to the river pier this old picture shows. street cars keep on the footpath because the rest of the pavement is occupied by tracks the could of least directly to the banks main entrance to the gold was to have been removed from the bike on the fifth hundred eighteen. what prevented the operation

he owns to the question is contained in the archive of all to live in professor of history at university he is drawing witness reports to reconstruct that day's events almost in full could they be attributed to. one of the eyewitnesses who writes that our trials brought team self workman to the beast most of the cars on bank only in evening of august the fifth they were about to start removing valuables from the bank when the city was shelled by the enemy. when four trucks shipped them and fifty armed red army men back to the bank they started moving gold out despite the shelling but they could take out only a hundred crates with gold worth six million roubles and ninety five million rubles worth of my bank now gets. the warrant on me and units of the so-called czechoslovak legion entered. with the seventh nine hundred eighteen the. capital center telegram to only headquarters of the he

visited the bank said the trophies beyond all calculation we have seized russia's gold reserve the whites were in a new mood to repeat the bolsheviks mistake they made swift arrangements for the valuables to be taken out to a safe distance from the front line. here in this yard they brought cards to this backyard and then as. anybody capable of lifting heavy weights help shift those enormous loads. the goal was taken to the pool by trams and translate by the bolsheviks but they never have the opportunity to use them because it was guarded by the russian soldiers well the legion is from the czech and slovak cool with the fust seize the bank. puzzle could have is a military historian as well as the president of the czechoslovak legion as memorial

society but this is the standard uniform of the russian army worn cheering world war one this one is the uniform of the service men of the chant brigade as can be seen from the accrington shorter strips the czech brigade was formed in the summer of nine hundred fourteen and became good basis for the. russian school. during world war one russian emperor nicholas the second backed the idea of forming a military brigade consisting of czechs and slovaks living in russia the legion is what to fight on the side of the russian army against the stray hungary and germany immediately after the nine hundred seventeen revolution the czech slovak legion gave support to the point movement in russia against the bolsheviks but afterwards legal age and as wanted was to get back to their home country these pictures from the colors of the military institute in prague they tell the story of the czechoslovak legions journey by rail from samoa to vladivostok in the country's

east the gold train follows the same route. just a lot of energy costs low max fought in a special sector of the front porch when admiral cole chuck seized power they took a neutral position no they wanted to achieve their initial goal the aim was to get to have lady talk with the intention of returning to europe this means that nobody but admiral cole charke had access to the gold reserve. the n.t. based should be government formed in siberia in live at midnight in a team named alexander culture russia's head of state and supreme commander in chief of the home force of the whites movement culture took control of most of the gold the whites had seized because. the bullshit culture offensive in the summer of ninety nine team forced culture expo me to retreat eastwards. with

the train load of gold so telcel the journey through siberia called check this in his own personal courage mix of the steam locomotive units of the trade slowed by key to make sure the train had free passage throughout the route and that's why they were in control of the entire late to translate period railway. professor of history prologues military institute has traced the route of the gold train based on military reports and accounts by officers of the czech slovak legion blocks in one thousand twenty officials from the ministry of finance a former sars to russia were constantly with the russian gold reserve travelling from two or could. this means they were in control of the gold in one way or another. of course there's much speculation about whether or not some of it was stolen from. the golden train called the long distance by nine hundred twenty

gold is taken from to some lower this. was placed on the train and then sent from homes to go train to cook in the east of the country so we need to train station it was discovered the future mountain gold was missing by that time and caltex orders to go on to the golden train was handed over to the czechoslovakia internet as. ted it is a small station the train loaded with gold came here nearly ninety years ago seventeen crates of bullion were found to be missing on january the twelve months hundred twenty eight days of the legionnaires began guarding the train. this fast was reported by nature koslow x. because the russian guards had disappeared so there was no one else who could

report this theft some of the treasures had also disappeared it was discovered early in the morning by that she khosla max standing guard. when they approached the carriage to find out what had happened they saw that the doors had been broken and that something was missing inside. this document refutes what historian powell cutrone claims the report states of the russian god by the name of shoe caught in a beijing official by the name of keselowski discovered the absence of two seals on one of the carriages they also discovered that thirteen crates of gold were missing the report stresses that the carriages were in good order both inside and outside of the document ricin the old clothes of probes institute of military history. libya bank was in this building years ago it was founded by the men of the czech slovak cool after their return from russia in the one nine hundred twenty it was

the first bank of the newly independent czech state. it's many i'm sure thirteen creeds wouldn't have made much difference today to cost the american economy what's really helped it was the fact that issued its own currency . the train with what was left of the russian interest gold continue to wait east to be or could come to that station in the short crates which disappeared without a trace the next stop on the gold trains route would prove fatal for culture.

culture is that so much knowledge about the field and i think i can give it really . is trying to make our western ideas down the street even democracy in the balance and what model. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news make us. feel this in conspicuous real way hope has a permanent place in the history of the gold of the russian empire today the station is called it a coup too but in general no one hundred twenty it bore the name you know came to. it was here that the offices of the czechoslovak legion arrested their russian ally admiral cole check on this unremarkable platform he and his colleagues were locked

up in this small house and were then handed over to the revolutionaries in this way they were given safe passage to a port of blood of all stock so they could sail home. because a lot of them chuckle slovaks surrendered culture to centrist revolutionaries in their coats they wanted to have them put on trial but with the arrival of the bolsheviks they deposed the centrists arrested culture and executed him. from. having played their role to the excuse of a coup trick the chief slovak dejan is resumed the journey in the direction of the folder but it will stop now the question is where did the gold go and while they looking for it in the lake by cop. this story and alexandra to the. event. i lived in the body call area

holroyd they oh sure the quite a sizable part kolchak's gold ended up in the lake off to one of the trains crushed that eastbound train was moving along the railway what soldier train was it the way it was carrying that girl to according to alexander to the men because the also slowly in a contract made between the chicks live like an engine is and the bolsheviks take you to agreement. regarding to the kitchen agreement half of russia's gold reserves that villagers seized from culture shock was to be handed over to the bolsheviks while their legionnaires kept the other half as a result russia acquired thirteen carriages and the czechoslovak stock seventeen. the chick historians disagrees with the theory of his russian counterpart to the

truce agreement was signed at crewe to the station as a result of the truce the russian gold reserve was handed over to the bolshevik government led by lenin. that the treasure was in the state that it had been while in call chocks custody with the exception of the thirteen crete's unit and disappearing and station. to the link and even called the distance several times before one hundred twenty kilometers it's a flying. locomotive they are looking for evidence that the golden train controlled by the czechs did indeed crash was that after the agreement had been signed the law actually headed on eastwards with the gold quite a common. however it turned out lennon had sent a telegram ahead to local followers in your course at the last moment and you know

his message was blunt blow up the tunnels and bridges and care of the cracks not a single gram of the gold was to be allowed to go any further east. to prove my cold will weigh the world's most dangerous routes and one saw it there was sheer cliffs lake baikal is on the other. there are frequent rockslides here this enormous piece of rock sticking out of the lake has been what caused the crash . the driver of the steam locomotive told event about it when he was still young. according to the driver of the road fragment crashed into the train just when the locomotive that entered the tunnel. just some of the train cars remained on the tracks like others fell in the direction of by call. one of the carriages was on the bank after being ripped apart crates were taken out

of it. in the summer of two thousand and two the linker and other scientists still said that the sent to the bed of lake called on board amid deep sea submersible from here as it did one thousand four hundred meters they found direct carriages and post objects resembling crates this picture shows them in great detail childes all of those crates were filled with gold. yes don this thought that i'm going to try and reports indicate that several trains carry the goal the location of the carriages elemental crates that was so heavy that they couldn't be moved coincides with a crash site because. people in submersibles for only been able to examine the lake bed dragging up heavy objects are an altogether different vessel yes a bus driver it's if the search for gold is put on

a strictly scientific basis success may be achieved. in the east bound train carrying the gold reserve by pulse the siberian city however is in this building that a trace of the so-called siberian share of culture x. gold was found in one thousand nine hundred one. the building used to house the local branch of the soviet k.g.b. today it belongs to russia's federal security service. alexander patrician of the k.g.b. he was looking through secret stating from the civil war when he came across a document pertaining to the nine hundred twenty s. it contained a description of the medal stand before culture came to power the new medals the inscription liberation of siberia. knew the medals had already been stamped more than maps got so they were made of precious

metals he orders them to be added to his gold reserves all of that was all that is to say the russians called reserve. he said it should be kept in church basements intel other additions included a church on a month and possibly valuables belonging to the family of former russian emperor. there are three inches between moscow and to balls to what is a historical russian city it was founded in the sixteenth century and it used to be the capital of siberia with the with siberian potion of culture x. gold kept away did it end. there are many streets and churches around to poles according to alexander patricians theory the siberian portion of culture gold was hidden in one of them the street is several kilometers from two poles during the civil war. of tobolsk had one of his residence is here.

some of the church valuables and valuables and belonging to the siberian white movement were kept here in the monastery and is now being restored what it feels like you're just going to see. you know you find a lot of metal yes we have lots of. i find this quite intriguing and there is a lot of metal here because insurgents taking part in the one nine hundred twenty one peasant revolt were executed here by this wall one finds gold jams and human bones here all in one place which was. cool alexander protrusion of the federal security service now retired has spent a good deal of time in search of culture. his job gave him access to secret transcripts of interrogations relating to. of tobolsk according to his testimony when the rebel army was approaching. one hundred nineteen culture kind of ordered

siberian gold be evacuated immediately. in october one thousand nine hundred. were loaded. onto a steam ship called the pattern yak. early winter and there was alton cold weather compelled the convoy to hold on near the village of turner no close to sir good. course a lot of the valuable credits were deep in the woods but it is not known where the cargo was left those treasures including the prices liberation of siberia metals have not yet been found. for the golden train when he stole the translight period railway truthdig quids the russians railways can. read the full story in the country's east situated no one

thousand chromosome away from. the translight wait ten minutes in the city one theory has it that russians go. to call tracks execution. this picture shows chicken slow. back legionnaires waiting for that turn to him and ships in the pool to flood it full stop future transport ships took some seventy thousand officers and men of the czech slew back to teaching to your. members of the koslow ak army corps were cheering no more arms industry marked on ships personal belongings. even they were not allowed to exceed a certain weight limit this seems to suggest that there was very little room in those ships therefore i cannot honestly believe that the concept of secure itself on the railway cars would have been accommodated dear. this picture from the old cause of the military institution prologue shows legion is sitting on crates as

they prepare for embarkation. and another photo shows loads of packages on the ships what's in them the old want to be found. it's easiest to treasure hunters in but it will stop all along the route of the gold train believe the plot of kolchak's was is hidden somewhere here. say a game at the end co-founder of the motor club began looking for the gold in two thousand and five after he met vic to shoot a local. schimmel promise to take sergei to a cave where he said he had found gold bullion with a coat of arms of the russian empire impulse only. surrogate his friends received official papers is royson them to do it's the finishing work of the sort of the following surrogate then made arrangements for the expedition to go to.

put up with that there was a hillside waste at the signing off of. this knowledge to later to dig up a stone after stone. and they excavated reached a flat surface made of stone it was easy to see that had been made by hand. well. it seems we can get in there now if we could find gold. only. told me that he had seen stacks of guild billion credit union and paintings and. more and even some flags. seemed those were paintings because the tubes were quite long. breuer but he touched nothing for fear of triggering a blast of. team found nothing after two months of work later of the treasure hunters literally collapse the cave to the ground vic to shoot more of the man who found the cave in the first place died under mysterious

circumstances this raises the suggestion that he may indeed have found something valuable but whether that was part of the russian empire as gold reserve is still unknown. well most appear through looking for gold charts gold is something of a hobby for motor club members some evidence suggest that it is here in the premarket territory although screech in our nature. we're going to know more excavation work in the near future. five. hundred twenty the bolsheviks but some of the gold whites have taken from the state banks broach. in that system with the with when all is said and it is a significant fact that the gold returned to this building after it siberian journey so it took several days to bring it here by trams and motivate comes in october and nine hundred twenty the gold reserve was sent to moscow for printing

must. in the early twentieth century trains carrying crosses the goal of the russian empire which would show you the country. every now and then the fascination with cultural treasures they. begin with when you think of many living along the trail and many other parts of russia claimed they know where the gold bullion is to . sit back. these treasure hunts is a term to go on with. the mystery of the girl's disappearance has remained unsold the media.
