western siberia this secret munitions factory became public knowledge after the fall of the soviet union is special capsules known as the kremlin pill will make a hand exclusively for the top brass. of the health of the leaders of the soviet union was always shrouded in secrecy. private doctors looking after them had a very risky job with their very lives not just a career is were at stake. lanie head of the soviet union from one nine hundred sixty fourth one thousand nine hundred eighty two in one thousand seventy six regime suffered clinical death develop estonia and atherosclerosis died on november tenth one thousand nine

when i said i have a sense there is something wrong with that impression if you stop talking nonsense he replied he's ok everything's normal there but she called me back three hours later to say that gresham died or get. the general secretary of the communist party was buried in front of the walls of the kremlin next to the lenin mausoleum on red square. like nearly and only on the founder of the soviet union it was the head of state from nineteen seventeen until nineteen twenty four in may nineteenth wanted to keep became seriously ill and was almost completely disabled until his death according to official accounts he died from cancer those close ups of. the soviet hawkeye footage depicted linin as a cheerful man full of energy capable of working in this round the clock according

to official soviet records lennon was in perfect health because he took an abrupt turn for the worse of the terms of his life by sussan funny clothes in nice in a chain. this is how the episode is shown in the soviet film released in the one nine hundred thirty s. . opinion is still divided on whether all of. those issues at the turn of the assassination attempt on the side was so cool she could hardly see people silhouettes they claim that that is health sharply deteriorated as a result of poison put it is also debatable. spent decades studying and then his medical history the daily said there were plans to fill the bullets for the poison coast curry which is incredibly potent that

later hospitals used it as an anesthetic but the fact is that when the bullet leaves the barrel a cloisonne becomes ineffective when the compound is immediately destroyed by very high temperatures. in one thousand and twenty two lead and moved into his residence limo sky. during the last months of his life he was almost completely insane this picture was taken by his sister. it's in the official gardeners of the call a disease that causes death were hidden from the public for many years. after foreign cultures came to examine lenin they said in letters dated back to one nine hundred twenty two that he had syphilis diagnosis was confirmed in one thousand twenty four with lennon's death lennon's inner circle was aware of this but no one else was supposed to know and the post-mortem report was grossly falsified.

joseph stalin juga shrieking bloody murder lenin successor head of state from nineteen twenty four to one thousand fifty three to four deaths in accuses doctors of the liberal press when he suffered a stroke during the night and did not get up at the usual time for flu so she could not have the courage to check on the paralyzed leader put on the day stellan died on march the fifth nineteen forty three in a coma. jurors are stolen in a tourist twentieth century dictator has a reputation for being overly suspicious of millions of people were subjected to political repression under his rule it was dominated by his prius. one of his residence was merely greets enough because it despite the fact it was high in the mountains it was surrounded by thousands of gods even here stone and dreaded the prospect of any attempts on his life friends stole in always sense with his face

turned to the windows in this way hugh money towards the situation outside because he was afraid of attempts on his life the lamps on the walls of the rooms produced idina glow brands lights if you headaches besides the curtains were trimmed so that she could satisfy himself that nobody outside was going to set and him. a motor boat which shuttles across lake greets a supply of his residence with meals he aboard the smell of cooking there's nothing this is mano free bedrooms of joseph stalin all three looked quite alike this is because during the night stalin might go to another room to make sure that nobody knew where he was at any particular moment you fear to his life. towards the end of his life stolen suspects of his guilt as a spy a. few dozen medics were arrested under his personal orders they were brought to the security ministry where they were forced to say that they had deliberately meted out incorrect diagnosis of a soviet leaders to vent. of the case. who are against the doctors

were not treated yeah a vehement propaganda campaign and cared for in the press and on the radio and television. things went so far worse that many patients turned down surgery for conditions that required treatment in. ukraine on the supreme soviet of the u.s.s.r. dr levy a commercial has been awarded the order of lenin for her assistance to the government in unmasking killer dr. in one hundred forty eight heart specialist libya tunisia sent a letter to the kremlin same she disagree with the way doctors treat as you don't know a high ranking service official but the criminal nor the letter however four years later it was found in archives by that time stalin was already obsessed he thought physicians were trying to harm him to michigan as a now provided the basis of

a criminal case stolen couldn't see the case through however as he died on march the fifth night you fifty three. when he was born i have no doubt but of stalin have lived long enough those doctors would have been executed in light of reports exposing the group of saboteur doctors even stalin's death came off as a bad joke you know many people would say in whispers stalin was being healed to death she. started his close associates degree to accuse the doc this case before the board it would have been hailed as the leader of all nations was even placed in the muslim and red square stonings personality cult was later denounced by his successor nikita krushchev. lazar stalin was very close to the muslim lydia to richard was stripped of the order of living and the alleged servitor daughters were released from prison they were even allowed to resume their work at the kremlin. am.

something for you what is happening on the streets now as the after fighting a wildfire to the south however i thought and this is me i don't even think the parts of baghdad. we're still waiting for the actual resolution to have. a laboratory in tomsk siberia is so-called kremlin pills are made this particular drug is unique it contains no chemicals and doesn't dissolve in stomach acid rather

it is a small electronic device but it's called a chip inside is two by two millimeters with a thousand transistors super microelectronics in those days and the kremlin pill is slightly larger than the pain once it is in the body it starts generating in causes emulating the rhythms of a young healthy body. after the breakup of the soviet union pharmacies began sending kremlin pills the device was hailed as the cure of the future and in the beginning sales skyrocketed. somebody had recommended to me i felt that if they used it in the kremlin it might help my mother so i bought it dimitri's mother has just gone through a complicated abdominal surgery which is all stops as for permission to use the kremlin pill but will it work. fairly well to all of your members live to a very old age their lifespan was about ninety years whereas ordinary people lived

until fifty or sixty on average worldly wisdom put their longevity down some special meds on us including the kremlin pill. yuri andropov general secretary of the communist party of the soviet union central committee nineteen eighty to ninety four diagnosis progress and reach for your requiring kidney dialysis he died on fire in the ninth one thousand nine hundred eighty four. doctor you have any chance of as many political remembers and was on friendly terms with for a long time he knew better than anyone else that andropov was unfit to rule the country however his opinion and that of other kremlin doctors was not heeded. deal i did all i could. i supported him drop off for eighteen years. i think he'd still been alive and in charge. i'm none to nine percent sure that the

soviet union would never have collapsed. at the time he was appointed and through both look different from the other members of the politburo it was younger more energetic and had a high i.q. his work shuttle was filled with meetings with those closest to him you that every day doctors used to connect and propose to a kidney dialysis machine. a. few of them but it was a cumbersome piece of equipment you know talk to colleagues were working on a miniature machine the size of a briefcase but. they did create something of that car and then you would think but regrettably it was too late for them to put its to use. after the collapse of the soviet union the newspaper proved a lame duck to charles over and other kremlin doctors for the space of soviet leaders deaths. when they are

a presenting. it can only be surprising how many fatal contingencies the last soviet leaders had to collide with it would be interesting to know from their going to mission chance to get the rapid health worsening of the soviet leaders could be a result of an outrageous incompetence of doctors for an furley plan subversive back which was accurately calculated well prepared and fulfilled by the so called qualified doctors kill you but i took the newspaper and came to a meeting of academics. where i said to call it school i have to tell you you know but twelve are you sitting here you are probably not going to be subject to prosecution. but in my piece also the hood. they decided to write an official letter to craft a newspaper that said you're making

a second case against stalkers of us using it it. was so intimidated by that's what they decided to publish it. and in the u.s.s.r. from nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty four no chronic diseases were detected in him during his tenure not as the only solution leader removed from power for what was officially described as health reasons died at the age of seventy seven seven years after his resignation. according to his contemporaries crucial was healthier than any of the soviet leader unlike prison if he didn't care much for ready made scripts to be speeches and instead often improvised and talked to did accompany him during his international visits but only to be on the safe side the job was to keep crucial for medical assistance of a special kind the fact is that he was the calmest of politicians the only other person. there in the medical profession and he was thirty young lady

wrote specialist but that had nothing to do with the permanent state of his health it was simply too much and too loudly so it affected his vocal cords so what she had to do with the said this is spray some some stuff in cycles of growth. during his last year at the helm of the soviet union seventy year old crucial spend more than one hundred thirty days travelling inside and outside the country in october nineteenth sixty fourth he decided to go on vacation in the cozy meanwhile a trillion plus was brewing in moscow they culminated in crucial being removed from office as soon as he returned. the official reason be his advanced age which i fully agree with because he was over seventy at the second reason walls and increasing ill health. now i had seen him sort of before the

event in question and i knew perfectly well that he was an excellent state of. the last general secretary in the communist party nine hundred eighty five ninety ninety one came to power at the age of fifty four the only surviving leader from the soviet era. the central committee of the communist party to. which office general secretary. because gorbachev was elected in much nine hundred eighty five a winds of change was in the end to destroy what was announced in the country like nikita khrushchev . but the people with the franken straightforward manner he was far more refined and civilized. gets closer to the people close enough.

often appeared in public together with his wife a practice previously unseen among the soviet leaders. was active in the nation's public life in soviet times many people resented the habit they blame the country's first lady for swaying decisions. racegoer died of leukaemia in september one thousand nine hundred ninety before passing away she said that forming victims of the severe illness and dying would be the only way to get people to understand her this time the kremlin medicine was helpless. i am missing a friend and i have lost during his hard struggle my beloved wife you know that's what is lacking in my life i always remember that. worse yields president of russia nine hundred ninety one thousand nine hundred ninety nine suffered from heart disease eight years after his resignation he died of progressive

cardiovascular and multiple organ failure in april two thousand and seven. in the early one nine hundred ninety s. when he saw yeltsin as a hero in august one thousand nine hundred one he stood at the head of a movement of resistance to places he wanted to preserve the soviet regime he displayed energy and resolution. before long however rumors creeping around moscow were claiming that sharing a banquet table with the olson was full with unpredictable consequences. they were. going to do when they began pouring cognac into these losses that yeltsin grimaced on turned around and stood with those were three cars chip yet there was a side table filled with tumblers and glass holders. yeltsin used to drink tea i'll

have a glass like this. then boris yeltsin reached out for six tumblers and placed them on the table and all of the way to trial from a few of the brilliant stuff of what you. are going to drink from these he declared . when yeltsin was a young man he was an enthusiastic and skillful sportsman this helped his career in the communist party in the year olds here he was reputed to be a no nonsense tough administration knew that he would have a day to pull the lever is always. after he moved to moscow to take the post to president quite a few people among his associates were noted for weird practices one of them you're a man and was a professional psychic. i said it was possible to improve ratings summit so that they would be beyond the reach of opponents give me forty five minutes of any

maintain the state handles and the certain candidate would be elected this is called the management of the collective mind the management of the audience. in the league of the nine hundred ninety six elections president yeltsin was going out of his way to demonstrate as he was physically face from the time of office he was indeed elected for a second stint and he paid a price for his exertions. related heart bypass surgery it was decided that the complex operation would be performed in russia it lasted several hours cardiac surgeon are in that picture and was in charge of the team of doctors. everyone thought the yeltsin would not survive that operation. because of all the stress the contraction function of his heart was a ruin. the only person who said there was a chance of success it was me. i said that we should prepare him for the surgery.

after the operation and stayed at the helm of the nation for nearly four more years he resigned on the last day of the twentieth century. i am leaving and i did what i could yeah. i want to ask for your forgiveness. and the my you as far as i can remember this is the one and only case where a head of state of complete power decided by himself to leave. it was a sign of great courage. the yeltsin era has already receded into history many myths about kremlin medicine are gradually fading sales of the miracle kremlin pill have almost fizzled out despite being described as a cure all. dimitri the young man who bought the soviet device for his

mother only found out a short time ago that it had nothing to do with the kremlin at all it was just a bogus promotional campaign launched soon after the fall of the soviet union of course i was somewhat surprised because there was a legend attached to the pill when you first hear about it but immediately attraction is its name. with a serious take a pill and afterwards you live for two hundred years. and that's just nonsense i don't believe the rubbish. stringent selection procedure is a still applied to doctors wishing to join the system of medical care provided for the country's top most officials it is an established fact that the kremlin's inhabitants no longer turn to healers or clairvoyance however they do to keep fit and how the kremlin's doctors protect them from ill health is still a state secret. most

of the. sounds of technology innovation all the elements from all around russia we've got the future coverage.
