Episode Plague in Irkutsk, Steel on Lisiy: The Biological Labs moscow Hides Behind Nature Reserves
Bottom Line: A suspected pneumonic plague leak in Irkutsk, where a researcher died after reportedly breaking a test tube and nearly 200 contacts were hospitalized, prompted a U.S. Embassy alert urging Americans to leave russia, while Rospotrebnadzor denies any plague link. The case echoes the secret biological complex rebuilt on Lisiy Island, Tver’ region, hidden behind a nature reserve and guarded by the russian Ministry of Defense. Because its reservoir connects to the Volga, a similar breach could contaminate regions’ water.
