Thread: Russian Scientists drill a hole and hear the sounds of Hell -- TRUE or FALSE story?

It was the cutting edge research project back then, and it's sad that the borehole is abandoned nowadays.

And on a related note. You may have heard that BP drillers inadvertently released Cthulhu, but they're sorry (South Park s14e11 ).

I've found the last interview with Давид Губерман, the main person behind the Кольская сверхглубокая project, who died last year.

He was disappointed when people asked him about that "hell" nonsense, but not about the scientific value of the research.
The article mentions an unnamed Finnish youth newspaper, which allegedly published a joke about the hell for the first time on the 1st of April.
