genrikh ludvig. No Wikipedia exists for him, and no credible website tells about him. All I have to go off of are an episode of ancient aliens that was on tv in a Chinese restaurant. (Ancient aliens is the LEAST credible show I know of, and I have fact checked then multiple times. They lie, A LOT.)
I would like to find info on this man so I can credibly disprove some of the Internet hearsay.
History is written by the winner. It's never accurate. Even on live TV, three different eyewitnesses to a bank robbery will have three different stories 5 minutes later.
TV shows like the one you saw are very guilty of taking these obscure people that no one has heard about and making a new story. I know, because I happened to be involved with several of them when I worked for National Geographic. They usually find someone just like Genrikh. Someone who pops up with two results on google, but no one knows who he really is. They can make whatever stories they want and put it on the internet, and then that's the only history there is about that person.
The production I worked on for NG was "science of the bible." Since the apostles' only historical record exist in the bible, the production focused on offering hypotheses of what they could have been like just to stir the pot. Today, if you google St Peter, that television show comes up as one of the results. Suddenly, Genrikh is in the same boat as John the Baptist - someone that no one knows about other than one or two historical renderings, and fleshed out with internet speculation.
My guess is that Genrikh was a dude who believed in Aliens, made his tiny droplet in history by being laughed at, and then went about his normal life. The Aliens TV show then likely used that to wildly speculate that "Ludvig knew about the existence of aliens in the 20s, and Stallin had to put him in a concentration camp to shut him up."
Your only real hope is that he left something behind on paper (not google). That means a flight to Russia, I suspect. Trace his genealogy in the library and public records of his hometown. The way to disprove internet hearsay is to not use the internet.
There is none. Nothing is accurate, and the stuff that is, is countered by bullE36 M3.
