In 2005, a Russian documentary Secrets of the Century - Punishers: May 9th (Russian: "Тайны века - Каратели: Девятое Мая") reported that in 1974 Fedorenko visited Crimea as a tourist, where he was recognised and this raised the interest of the KGB. Afterwards, the Soviet government contacted the White House and requested that the case of Fedorenko be reviewed.[13]
