Modern historians have found no solid evidence linking any check bank to Kolchak's bullion, casting doubt on this tale.
JimmyHOST
Another famous legend holds that a portion of the gold was lost in the depths of Lake Baikal.
JimmyHOST
According to this story, one of the gold trains derailed along the shore of this lake during the chaos, and several train carriages full of gold plunged into the lake's abyss.
JimmyHOST
This incredibly deep lake, which despite its relatively small surface area, contains 20% of the world's unfrozen fresh water, may hold billions in gold.

In recent decades, Russian expeditions with many submarines have probed Lake Baikal's depths.
JimmyHOST
They've indeed discovered wreckage of train cars and even boxes of ammunition on the lake bed, which is physical evidence that a train did crash there during the time period.

In 2010, explorers found fragments of railway carriages and reported shiny metal objects that resembled gold bullion near one crash site.

Manaia StewartHOST
Or if you lived in the middle of Europe and it was, you know, 200 AD or something like that, right in the middle, like in Russia somewhere, like in the middle, nowhere near lakes, nowhere near the sea.

So we are told by authorities within Russia that a young person, apparently previously healthy, 28-year-old woman, died of pneumonia.
Paul PottingerHOST
She had been working at the Irkutsk Research Anti-Plague Institute near Lake Baikal.
