THE VIRUS OF GREED

(00:00:00) PART 1: THE MYSTERIOUS EPIDEMIC (00:24:44) THE VIRUS OF GREED In August 1999, a young man was admitted to a hospital in Novosibirsk (Russia), unconscious. His face was pale, and his pulse was almost undetectable. The patient was immediately placed in intensive care, where the doctors assessed his condition as critical. The man could not breathe independently, and the medical team hurriedly connected him to a mechanical ventilator. In the medical history, the nurse, trying not to miss any details, recorded: Igor Yuryevich Vasiliev, 28 years old, Deputy General Director of "Modus N" company. The cause of his severe condition remained a mystery. There were moments when the fight for Vasiliev's life seemed almost hopeless, and the doctors exchanged worried glances, understanding the gravity of the situation. However, by the end of the second day of the exhausting battle against the illness, the doctors' efforts began to yield positive results. They managed to win the first round — Vasiliev's breathing became more confident, and his pulse stabilized. Death retreated, but a troubling question remained: had the crisis passed, or was this just a temporary improvement in the patient's condition? At that moment, no one had the answer. This episode is about investigating a crime that was like an epidemic of a mysterious disease. By listening to this story, you will learn how the truth came out.
