Leningrad vs The Winter Pea

During the Siege of Leningrad, as bombs fell and over a million people starved, a small group of scientists protected something extraordinary, something the Germans would have done anything to seize. But the real battle wasn’t just against the enemy at the gates—it was against Stalin’s regime, which threatened to undo everything they fought to protect. In this episode of Plant Murder, we uncover the untold story of resilience, betrayal, and the secrets that held the key to humanity’s survival.
