precious payloads travelled from west to east leaving a multitude of secrets and rumors in their wake. because it is a city eight hundred kilometers east of moscow. most of the 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 one 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 army corps cavalry is marching victoriously along the streets of. the bolsheviks seize this building as a matter of priority at the time it was the cause of the national bank.

nearly ninety years have passed 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. but for now the time that russian gold reserve was one of the world's largest if not the largest u.s. a had not yet accumulated because gold reserves it has now. transporting some. a bulky and heavy call go was quite a problem it's wasted no time laying tram 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 bikes main entrance the goal was to have been removed from the bike on the fifth hundred eighty. one prevented people palatial dion's 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 i'm trying to miss broad team self-worth meant to be smith's of the cousin bank only in the 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 notes for. the war it's all me and units of the so-called czechoslovak legion into. the seventh nine hundred eighteen the. capital sent a telegram to only headquarters of the he visited the bank it said the trophies beyond all calculation we have seized russia's gold was of the whites were to repeat the bolsheviks mistake they made swift arrangements for the valuables to be taken out of to a safe distance from the front line. here in this yard they brought a card to the back yard 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 first 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 crimson shorter strips the czech brigade was formed in the summer of nine hundred fourteen and we came to the basis for the. russian school. during world war one russian impression it was the second back 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 a straight hungry 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 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 volleyball stuck in the country's east the gold train follows the same route. just a lot actually koslow x. fought in a special sector of the front porch when admiral cole chuck seized power they took a neutral position and now they wanted to achieve their initial goal the aim was to get to let us talk with the intention of returning to europe this means that nobody but admiral cole charke had access to the gold reserves that our culture. 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 winds 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. when the train load of gold so telcel the only journey through siberia called check was in his own personal courage next to the steam locomotive units of the czech slovak legion make sure the train had free passage throughout the route and that's why they were in control of the entire lake to translate period railway. professor of history prologues military institute the streets 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 of former sars

to russia were constantly with the russian gold reserve travelling from cars and to here could. this means they were in control of the gold in one way or another you know of course there is much speculation about whether or not some of it was stolen from. the golden train called the long distance by nine hundred twenty the gold was taken from to samoa this. was placed on the train and then sent from homes to go train to goods in the east of the country so we need to the train station it was discovered that a huge amount of the gold was missing by that time and caltex borders to go on to the golden train was handed over to the czechoslovakia jeanette's. ten it is a small station the train loaded with gold came here nearly ninety years ago so

team 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 theft was reported by nature koslow x. because the russian guards had disappeared so there was no one else who could report their 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. with this document refutes what historian powell could turn into a news report states a russian by the name of shoe called 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 the documents wrists in the old clothes approx institute of military history. prague ligia bank was in this building. 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. and its manual i'm sure thirteen creates 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 imprint gold continue to wait east to be puts him to the station to assure crates which had disappeared without a trace the next stop on the gold trains route would prove fatal for cultural.

innit. you know.

this in conspicuous railway hope has a permanent place in the history of the gold of the russian empire to date the station is called to but in general no one hundred twenty it bore the name you know king to. it was here that the offices of the czechoslovak legion arrested their russian ally admiral culture on this unremarkable platform he and his colleagues were locked up in the 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. to their chuckle slovaks surrendered culture to centrist revolutionaries in their coats they wanted to have them put on trial. with the arrival of the bolsheviks they deposed the

centrists arrested culture and executed him. from. having played their role to execution of a contract the chief slave back to the gym is resumed the journey in the direction of the folder flooded. now the question is where did the gold and they looking for it in the lake by cop. this story and alexander. events. have lived in the area. they are 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 train was it the way it was a carry go to according to an exalted theory the also slowly in

a contract made between the chicks live. and the bolsheviks cutin agreement. regarding to the carriage agreement half of russia's gold reserve. is seized from culture shock was to be handed over to the bolsheviks. legionnaires kept the other half as a result russia acquired thirteen carriages and the checklist of acts took seventeen. to chick historians disagrees with the theory of his russian counterpart to the truce agreement was signed it 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 disappearing and stations. 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 after the agreement had been signed the chicas love x. headed on eastwards with the gold quite common indeed it however it turned out lennon had sent a telegram ahead to local followers. at the last moment and in it his message was blunted 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 wait for the world's most dangerous routes one saw it there was sheer cliffs lake baikal is on the other. there are frequent brooks lights here

this enormous piece of rock sticking out of the lake might have 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 into the tunnel. just some of the train cars remain on the tracks like others fell in the direction of my 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 name co and other scientists still said that the sent to the bed of late i called on board amid deep sea submersible from here as it did one thousand four hundred metres they found a great carriages and a host of objects resembling crates this picture shows them in great detail childes

as all of those crates were filled with gold. yes the amish thought that i'm going to try and reports indicate that several trains carry the goal of the location of the carriages elemental crates that were so heavy that they couldn't be moved coincides with a crash site because the. 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 a 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 back then alexander patrician of the k.g.b. 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 were got so they were made of precious metals he orders them to be added to his gold reserves although most of that is to say the russians called reserve the boys he said it should be kept in church basements in tumble schools other additions included church on amends and possibly valuables belonging to the family a former russian empire. there are three inches between moscow and tobolsk

to go 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 portion of culture x. gold kept away did it end. there are many streets and churches around poles according to alexander patricians theory the siberian potion of culture gold was hidden in one of them the street is several kilometers from tobolsk during the civil war. of tobolsk one of his residence is here. with 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. you know i mean you find a lot of metal yes we have lots of but. i find this quite intriguing

and there is a lot of metal here because insurgents are taking part in the one nine hundred twenty one peasant revolt where executed here this wall this 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 kolchak and ordered siberian gold be evacuated immediately. in october one thousand nine hundred. and there was alton cold weather compelled the convoy to hold on near the village of turner no close to sir good. unload of the valuable credits and deep in the

woods 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 trans iberian railway trip includes the russians railways can. read the full story in the country's east situation no one thousand promise away from. the transcriber wait two minutes in the city one theory that russian school has reached the city of culture x. execution. this picture shows chicken slow. legionnaires waiting for that turn to him and ships in the pool to fly to full stop snitching the transport ships took some seventy thousand officers and men of the czech slew back to teaching to you're

. not there were you know 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 with them and 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 all cause of the military institution shows legion is sitting on crates as they prepare for embarkation. and another photo shows large packages on the ships what's in them the old likely to be found. is easiest to treasure hunters in but it will stop all along the route of the gold train believe the plot of kolchak's reserve is hidden somewhere here. see

a game at yankee founder of the motor club began looking for the gold in two thousand and five after he met vic to shoot a local. shim of 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. soon gave his friends received official papers is royson them to do its completion 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 of a new year's list malik's debater to dig up a stone after stone. and they excavator 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 we could find gold. only she.

told me that he had seen stacks of guild billion credit union and paintings in teams and even some flags. here seemed those were paintings because the tubes were quite on. tour but he touched nothing for fear of triggering a blast. because team found nothing after two months of work later other 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. almost appears true looking for gold josh gold is something of a hobby for motor club members some evidence suggest that it is here again in premarket territory in the almost screeching are that you're going to reach we're

going to know more excavation work in the near future. to nineteen twenty the bolsheviks but some of the gold the whites have taken from the state banks broach. in that system with it when all is said and it is a significant fact that the gold returned to this building after its 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 to prague. in the early twentieth century trains carrying crosses the gold the russian empire went to the country. every now and then the fascination with treasure. with. many living along the gold trail and many other parts of russia claimed they
