On February 12, 2025, the mysterious Russian radio station UVB-76, also known as the "Buzzer" or "Doomsday Station," suddenly resumed broadcasting, transmitting a series of strange messages. Over the course of the day, 25 code words were broadcast, sparking a flurry of discussion among radio enthusiasts and analysts studying the station.
The first message was broadcast at 9:09 Moscow time. The word "SYNOPSIS" was clearly heard on the air. It was followed by others, such as "STATOGNOM", "COMMISSIONER", "CHILD", "SUCHENIE", "BUYNAKSK", "ELETSOBAZAZ" and several dozen more words. The final signal was the words "SPIDOKRAT", "UTKA" and "BRAHMAPUTRA", which were heard at 17:15.
These messages reminded many of the events of February 2022, when, before the start of full-scale military operations in Ukraine, UVB-76 also transmitted a series of mysterious signals containing sets of words and numbers. At that time, experts suggested that the station was used to transmit coded commands to military units or intelligence agencies.
UVB-76 is a shortwave radio station that has been broadcasting a continuous buzzing sound for decades, interrupted only by short voice messages. Its origins are shrouded in mystery. Many believe that the station belongs to the Russian military and is used to transmit secret commands.
The periodic appearance of such messages on the air gives rise to many assumptions and conspiracy theories. Some believe that this is an element of the strategic forces control system in case of an emergency or even a nuclear conflict, others assume that this is a way of communicating with intelligence groups.
Experts note that the use of radio signals for military purposes remains relevant even in the digital age. Shortwave communications are highly resistant to jamming and can be used in the most extreme conditions. However, the exact purpose of UVB-76 remains unclear, which fuels interest in each of its broadcasts.
The words themselves that were heard on air raise no less questions than the fact that they were transmitted. Some of them are clearly connected with geographical names, such as "BUYNAKSK" and "BRAHMAPUTRA", while others sound like neologisms or words with unusual semantics, such as "SPIDOKRAT" and "ELETSOBAZAZ". Analysts suggest that this may be part of a code, where each word carries a specific meaning for the recipient.
The mysterious transmissions have attracted the attention of not only professionals, but also radio amateurs around the world. Forums and social networks are filled with discussions about the possible meanings of the messages and their connection to current geopolitical events. Many see this as a warning or a signal of upcoming actions, while others are inclined to consider it just a coincidence.
At the moment, there have been no official comments from the Russian authorities regarding the work of UVB-76. However, experience in past years shows that its broadcasts often coincided with important military or political events. In 2010, after a long period of silence, the radio station went on the air again, which coincided with the reorganization of the Russian armed forces.
