Description:
The video explores the secret Soviet military intelligence (GRU) unit dedicated to investigating UFOs and potential extraterrestrial contact. It focuses on a hidden “alien division” or “department of men in black” that was reportedly created under Leonid Brezhnev.
- Soviet interest in aliens began as early as the Roswell incident (1947). The GRU has been quietly studying the topic ever since.
- Nikita Khrushchev showed little interest, but when Leonid Brezhnev took power he immediately summoned top GRU leaders and demanded serious study of “unidentified objects” and possible contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.
- Following a major Soviet UFO incident (likely the famous 1977 Petrozavodsk event, referred to here as “Petra Zawad”), the military received orders to register all sky phenomena — even though up to 98 % were considered natural.
- Brezhnev personally ordered the creation of a special GRU department whose sole task was to study and, if possible, establish contact with extraterrestrial representatives.
Recruitment was extremely strict: candidates needed approval from a high-level “committee of five” (senior General Staff officers + KGB) and final sign-off from Major General Aryov (head of the KGB Military Technical College), who also acted as the unit’s curator.
Even decades later, former members of this unit are still reluctant to speak about their work.
