Three Chilling Messages in One Day
Russia’s infamous shortwave station UVB-76, known among conspiracy theorists as the “Doomsday Radio”. broadcast three cryptic words in a single day, sparking fresh speculation about secret military activity, espionage, or even psychological warfare.
The Words: Strange, Random… or Coded?
On May 26, listeners heard the words “skird” and “württemberg” at 11:24, followed by “arykorift” at 13:10, and finally “bezmotivny” at 14:51.
The words appear meaningless on the surface, but enthusiasts claim they could be coded military signals, sleeper-agent triggers, or something far darker.
Not the First Time: UVB-76 Has a Pattern
This isn’t an isolated event. On May 22, the station broadcast the bizarre words “bezlobie” and “khryukostyazh”.
Just days earlier, on May 19, it aired the cryptic phrases “blefopuf” and “chatter”, eerily timed around a call between Putin and Trump.
December’s Bizarre Broadcast: Swan Lake, USSR Anthem & More
In December, the station shocked listeners by playing the Russian nationalist song “I Am Russian”, followed by Swan Lake, and the Soviet anthem.
This is a mix some believe was meant to signal internal chaos, a military alert, or even a psychological test on listeners.
Russian Expert: “It’s Meant to Sow Panic”
Military analyst Vasily Dandykin downplays the idea of classified data, but warns someone may be trying to stir fear.
“I think it’s designed to spread panic,” he said, suggesting that a foreign actor could be hijacking the signal to target Russia’s border regions psychologically.
What Is UVB-76, Really?
The station, operating since 1976, emits a mechanical buzzing sound nearly 24/7, earning it the nickname “The Buzzer”.
Occasionally, it breaks the buzz to deliver strange words, names, or sounds. Despite decades of broadcasts, its true purpose remains unconfirmed, making it one of the most enduring Cold War mysteries still active today.
