Myths exist from every period in human history and remain powerful even centuries after they are first told. But how much truth is there to myths, and can we separate fact from fiction? Each episode of the riveting series Myths: The Greatest Mysteries of Humanity examines these questions with the assistance of scientists and hobby researchers. Archaeologists uncover ancient graves and go on underwater expeditions in locations across the globe. Follow in their footsteps as they head to ancient Egypt or disappear into the middle of The Bermuda Triangle. From biblical stories such as The Holy Grail, to historical mysteries such as The Search for Attila's Tomb, to modern urban legends such as Werewolves, the series explores inexplicable events and ancient legends.
The Soviet Union was officially formed in 1922, a country, a political experiment, an ideal, a great scar across history. Officially known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR was a one-party state, governed, controlled, and tormented by a single party rule. That of the Communist Party. Complicated, contradictory figureheads would come and go, men who held this impossible country it seemed by sheer will. Stalin the despot-hero whose cruelty knew few bounds who united a nation to defeat Hitler. Khrushchev the crafty libertarian, who preached reform yet allowed an arms race to escalate. Brezhnev, that unreadable member to the old guard, sending history backwards. And of course Gorbachev, who brought vast change, modernisation, and détente, yet saw the Soviet Union collapse under his rule – the untenable nation. The 20th century was shaped by its convulsions, its purges, its wars, and its leaders.
