  • This Is Not a Mayday: How a Russian ship sank in NZ waters
    May 31 2026

    In 1986, the Russian cruise liner Mikhail Lermontov sank in the Marlborough Sounds.


    Decades later, questions still float around. Why was the ship sailing through dangerous waters? Why did the captain resist help to save it? And did Vladimir Putin really attend the inquiry?


    Adam Dudding and Eugene Bingham dive into a strange maritime mystery – a tale of tragedy, intrigue and Cold War paranoia.
