Suomenlahden salaisuus

A mysterious naval disaster haunts the Gulf of Finland in 1893. When the Russian monitor Rusalka vanishes during a storm, only a single sailor’s body is recovered, leaving the crew of fifty‑plus men lost to the depths. The incident sparks a frenzy of speculation among French maritime circles, Russian officials, and the local press, each eager to unravel the cause of the tragedy.

Beyond the cold facts, the disappearance becomes tangled with folklore. Tales of the water‑dwelling rusalki—enigmatic spirits said to lure sailors to their doom—grow louder as investigators confront bureaucratic stonewalling and rumors of corruption within the navy. As winter freezes the sea, the mystery deepens, and the Gulf seems to keep its secret well hidden.

Listeners are drawn into a world of early‑modern naval politics, eerie legends, and the relentless pursuit of truth, all set against the stark, icy backdrop of the Baltic waters.
