Russia’s ‘Doomsday Radio’ plays ‘Swan Lake’, dumps cryptic codes, speculations rise about the mysterious message and links to Ukraine war
Russia's UVB-76 radio station, dubbed 'Doomsday Radio,' has reactivated, broadcasting Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake' and a reworked Soviet song allegedly celebrating an attack on Kyiv. This rare musical broadcast, accompanied by unusual muffled voices, fuels speculation about the station's purpose and potential hacks, especially given 'Swan Lake's' historical association with Soviet instability.
