This is the chilling story of The Russian Sleep Experiment — one of the most disturbing tales to ever emerge from the shadows of World War II.
During the height of Soviet scientific ambition, a group of researchers sealed five political prisoners in a hidden military chamber. Their goal? To test a mysterious gas that would keep humans awake for 30 days straight.
At first, it seemed like a success…
