Vozrozhdeniya

'Vozrozhdeniya' was initially a term of unknown yet important meaning. It was enough to get Sophie King killed just for mentioning it, and cause for Irina Polyakov to send Konstantin Denisov to execute Brent Hall for knowing about it. ("Ghosts")
During Denisov's interrogation and torture of Hall, he continually asked his victim about the word. Hall stated that it was an island which, in the 1950s, was used as a test site for bioweapons, but Denisov was uninterested in that, and instead repeated his question but in reference to both 2008 and to the present; however, Hall made no reply and the interrogation was stopped by Sarah Cunnington and Iulya Dalca before it could go any further. ("Masquerade")
Later, the term was revealed to in fact be referencing the Rebirth Beauty Salon in York, which was below the flat in which Carlos Sánchez and Esther Wilson were when Carlos was murdered by Fran Grenouille, an event which set in motion The Ascension. ("Destiny", "Ascension")
