In this video, we explore the fascinating and tragic tale of the Trans-Siberian Pipeline, one of the Soviet Union's most ambitious engineering projects that ultimately turned into a colossal failure. Stretching over 4,500 kilometers from the oil fields of Siberia to Western Europe, the pipeline was meant to assert Soviet dominance in global energy markets.

In this video, we explore the fascinating and tragic tale of the Trans-Siberian Pipeline, one of the Soviet Union's most ambitious engineering projects that ultimately turned into a colossal failure. Stretching over 4,500 kilometers from the oil fields of Siberia to Western Europe, the pipeline was meant to assert Soviet dominance in global energy markets. However, harsh environmental conditions, such as permafrost and freezing temperatures, along with corruption, mismanagement, and political pressures, led to technical failures, delays, and soaring costs. The pipeline, once hailed as a symbol of Soviet power, became a financial and operational disaster, eventually falling into disrepair after the Soviet Union's collapse. Join us as we dive deep into the challenges, missteps, and lessons learned from this frozen energy giant and uncover the lasting legacy of the Trans-Siberian Pipeline.
