Secret archives. What archival documents are still secret. The murder of Lena Zakotnova

On March 13, 1954, the Chekists were removed from the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, a new department was formed: the State Security Committee of the CCCP - KGB. The new structure was in charge of intelligence, operational search activities and the protection of the state border. In addition, the task of the KGB was to provide the CPSU Central Committee with information affecting state security. The concept is broad, to be sure: it covers both the personal life of dissidents and the study of unidentified flying objects.

To separate truth from fiction, to recognize disinformation intended for "controlled leakage" is now almost impossible. So, to believe or not to believe in the truth of the declassified secrets and mysteries of the KGB archives is everyone's personal right.

The current security officers who worked in the structure during its heyday, some with a smile, some with irritation brush it off: no secret developments were carried out, nothing paranormal was studied. But, like any other closed organization that has an impact on the fate of people, the KGB did not manage to avoid a hoax. The activities of the committee are overgrown with rumors and legends, and even partial declassification of the archives cannot dispel them. Moreover, the archives of the former KGB underwent a serious cleaning in the mid-50s. In addition, the wave of declassification that began in 1991-1992 quickly subsided, and now the release of data is proceeding at an almost imperceptible pace.

Hitler: Died or Escaped?

The controversy has not subsided since May 1945. Did he commit suicide or was the body of a double found in the bunker? What happened to the remains of the Fuhrer?

In February 1962, captured documents of the Second World War were transferred to the TsGAOR of the USSR (the modern State Archives of the Russian Federation). And along with them are fragments of a skull and a sofa armrest with traces of blood.

Vasily Khristoforov, head of the FSB's registration and archival funds, told Interfax that the remains were found during an investigation into the disappearance of the former German Reich President in 1946. The forensic examination identified the partially charred remains as fragments of the parietal bones and the occipital bone of an adult. The act of May 8, 1945 states: the discovered pieces of the skull, "may have fallen off the corpse removed from the pit on May 5, 1945".

"The documentary materials with the results of the re-investigation were combined into a case with the symbolic name" Myth. "The materials of the named case, as well as the materials of the investigation into the circumstances of the Fuhrer's death in 1945, stored in the Central Archive of the FSB of Russia, were declassified in the 90s of the last century and became available to the general public, "- said the agency's interlocutor.

What remained of the top of the Nazi elite and did not end up in the KGB archives did not immediately find rest: the bones were repeatedly reburied, and on March 13, 1970, Andropov ordered the seizure and destruction of the remains of Hitler, Brown and the Goebbels couple. This is how the plan of the "Archive" secret event, carried out by the operational group of the Special Department of the KGB of the 3rd Army of the GSVG, appeared. Two acts were drawn up. The latter says: "The destruction of the remains was carried out by burning them at a stake in a vacant lot near the city of Schonebeck, 11 kilometers from Magdeburg. The remains burned out, together with coal crushed into ash, collected and thrown into the Biederitz River."

It is difficult to say what Andropov was guided by when he gave such an order. Most likely, he feared - and not unreasonably - that even after a while the fascist regime would find followers, and the burial place of the ideologue of the dictatorship would become a place of pilgrimage.

By the way, in 2002, the Americans announced that they had X-rays that were kept by the dentist, SS Oberführer Hugo Blaschke. Verification with the fragments available in the archives of the Russian Federation once again confirmed the authenticity of the parts of Hitler's jaw.

But despite the seemingly irrefutable evidence, the version that the Fuhrer managed to leave Germany, occupied by Soviet troops, does not leave modern researchers alone. They are usually looking for him in Patagonia. Indeed, Argentina after World War II gave shelter to many Nazis who tried to escape justice. There were even witnesses that Hitler, along with other fugitives, appeared here in 1947. It is hard to believe: even the official radio of fascist Germany on that memorable day announced the death of the Fuhrer in an unequal struggle against Bolshevism.

Marshal Georgy Zhukov was the first to question the fact of Hitler's suicide. A month after the victory, he said: "The situation is very mysterious. We did not find the identified body of Hitler. I cannot say anything in the affirmative about Hitler's fate. At the very last minute, he could fly out of Berlin, since the runways allowed this to be done." It was June 10th. And the body was found on May 5, the autopsy report was dated May 8. ... Why did the question about the authenticity of the Fuhrer's body arise only a month later?

The official version of Soviet historians is as follows: On April 30, 1945, Hitler and his wife Eva Braun committed suicide by taking potassium cyanide. At the same time, according to eyewitnesses, the Fuhrer shot himself. By the way, when opening the mouth, glass was found, which speaks in favor of the version with poison.

Unidentified flying objects

Anton Pervushin in his author's investigation cites one illustrative story characterizing the attitude of the KGB to the phenomenon. This story was once loved by the writer and assistant to the chairman of the committee Igor Sinitsyn, who worked for Yuri Andropov from 1973 to 1979.

“Somehow, while looking through the foreign press, I came across a series of articles about unidentified flying objects - UFOs ... I dictated to a stenographer in Russian an extract from them and, together with the magazines, carried them to the chairman.…. He quickly flipped through the materials. After thinking a little, he Suddenly he took out a thin folder from a drawer on his desk. The folder contained a report from one of the officers of the 3rd Directorate, that is, the military counterintelligence, "Sinitsyn recalled.

The information given to Andropov could well become the plot of a science fiction film: an officer, being on a night fishing trip with his friends, watched as one of the stars approached the Earth and took the form of an aircraft. The navigator estimated the size and location of the object by eye: diameter - about 50 meters, height - about five hundred meters above sea level.

"He saw two bright beams emerge from the center of the UFO. One of the beams stood vertically to the surface of the water and rested on it. Another beam, like a searchlight, scanned the waters around the boat. Suddenly he stopped, illuminating the boat. Shining a few more on it. seconds, the beam went out. Together with it, the second, vertical beam went out, "- quoted the report of the counterintelligence officer Sinitsyn.

According to his own testimony, these materials later came to Kirilenko and, over time, seemed to be lost in the archives. This is roughly what the skeptics reduce the KGB's probable interest in the UFO problem: to pretend that it is interesting, but in fact to bury the materials in the archives as potentially insignificant.

In November 1969, almost 60 years after the fall of the Tunguska meteorite (which, according to some researchers, was not a fragment of a celestial body, but a wrecked spacecraft), there was a message about another fall of an unidentified object on the territory of the Soviet Union. Not far from the village of Berezovsky in the Sverdlovsk region, several luminous balls were seen in the sky, one of which began to lose height, fell, then a strong explosion followed. In the late 1990s, a number of media outlets had at their disposal a film that allegedly captured the work of investigators and scientists at the site of the alleged UFO crash in the Urals. The work was supervised by "a man who looked like a KGB worker."

“Our family was living in Sverdlovsk at that time, and my relatives even worked in the regional party committee. However, even there, almost no one knew the whole truth about the incident. In Berezovsky, where friends lived with us, everyone accepted the legend of the exploded granary ; those who saw UFOs preferred not to spread. The disk was taken out, presumably, in the dark, in order to avoid unnecessary witnesses, "- recalled the contemporaries of the events.

It is noteworthy that even the ufologists themselves, people initially disposed to believe in the stories about UFOs, criticized these videos: the uniforms of Russian soldiers, their manner of holding weapons, cars flashing in the frame - all this did not inspire confidence even among susceptible people. True, denial of one particular video does not mean that UFO believers are giving up their beliefs.

Vladimir Azhazha, a ufologist, an acoustic engineer by training, said: "Does the state hide any information about UFOs from the public, I suppose so. On what grounds? Based on the list of information constituting state and military secrets. Indeed, in In 1993, the State Security Committee of the Russian Federation, at the written request of the then president of the Ufological Association, pilot-cosmonaut Pavel Popovich, handed over 1300 documents related to UFOs to the UFO center headed by me. These were reports from official bodies, commanders of military units, messages from private individuals. "

Occult interests

In the 1920s and 1930s, a prominent figure of the Cheka / OGPU / NKVD (predecessor of the KGB) Gleb Bokiy, the one who created laboratories for the development of drugs to influence the minds of those arrested, became interested in the study of extrasensory perception and even looked for the legendary Shambhala.

After his execution in 1937, folders with the results of the experiments allegedly ended up in the secret archives of the KGB. After Stalin's death, some of the documents were irretrievably lost, the rest settled in the basements of the committee. Under Khrushchev, the work continued: America was worried about rumors periodically coming from overseas about the invention of biogenerators, mechanisms that control thinking.

Separately, it is worth mentioning another object of close attention of the Soviet security forces - the famous mentalist Wolf Messing. Despite the fact that he himself, and later his biographers, willingly shared intriguing stories about the outstanding abilities of a hypnotist, the KGB archives have not preserved any documentary evidence of Messing's "miracles". In particular, there is no information in either Soviet or German documents that Messing fled Germany after predicting the fall of fascism, and Hitler appointed a reward for his head. Also, it is impossible to confirm or deny the data that Messing personally met with Stalin and that he tested his outstanding abilities, forcing him to perform certain tasks.

On the other hand, information about Ninel Kulagina, who in 1968 attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies with her extraordinary abilities, has survived. The abilities of this woman (or their absence?) Are still controversial: among lovers of the supernatural, she is revered as a pioneer, and among the learned fraternity, her achievements cause at least an ironic smile. Meanwhile, video chronicles of those years recorded how Kulagina, without the help of her hand or any devices, rotates the needle of the compass, moves small objects, such as a matchbox. The woman complained during the experiments of back pain, and her pulse was 180 beats per minute. Its secret was, allegedly, that the energy field of the hands, due to the superconcentration of the subject, could move objects that fell into the zone of his influence.

It is also known that after the end of the Second World War, it came to the Soviet Union as a trophy, made on the personal order of Hitler: it served for astrological predictions of a military-political nature. The device was defective, but Soviet engineers restored it, and it was transferred to the astronomical station near Kislovodsk. Knowledgeable people said that Major General of the FSB Georgy Rogozin (in 1992-1996, the former first deputy chief of the presidential security service and who received the nickname "Nostradamus in uniform" for studying astrology and telekinesis) used in his research captured SS archives related to occult sciences.

Today, with the restructuring of the state security service, many papers from the secret archives are made publicly available. Of course, no one is going to naively believe that the documents are shown to people in their original form: almost certainly all the most important remains under the cover of secrecy.
However, even from scraps of information, you can get a rough idea of \u200b\u200bthe affairs that happened under the roof of the State Security Committee.

Portable nuclear weapons

Back in 1997, General Alexander Lebed, in one of the rather chaotic interviews, let slip that the special services have about a hundred portable nuclear devices with a capacity of one kiloton each. Literally two days later, Lebed renounced his words, writing it off as fatigue and a slip of the tongue. However, physics professor Aleksey Yablokov confirmed the presence of such devices. According to the information received from him, in the mid-70s, the top leadership of the KGB ordered the development of nuclear warheads for terrorist operations. Moreover, there was information about the presence of similar devices in the United States.

Operation "Flute"

The secret services of the Soviet Union were often accused of developing biological weapons. According to some reports, the first samples of biological weapons were tested on the Germans at Stalingrad - the enemy was infected with rats. In the 90s, microbiologist Kanatzhan Alibekov, who emigrated to the United States, spoke about the KGB's secret operation "Flute", within the framework of which the latest psychotropic drugs were created and tested. Alibekov claimed that the KGB leadership planned to provoke a conflict with the United States and unleash a real biological war.

Blue folder

Any citizen of the Soviet Union knew for sure: there is no God, no devil, let alone non-Polish nonsense. At the same time, any eyewitness reports about UFOs ended up in the KGB special department, where they were carefully documented. In 1967, a prominent physicist, mathematician and staunch ufologist Felix Siegel appeared on television due to someone's oversight. Immediately after that, the group of the scientist at the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was disbanded by an order from above, and all the materials collected by the researchers were sent to the KGB. Here they were filed into the so-called "Blue folder", curated by the head of the Chekists, Yuri Andropov.

With the change in political priorities, many documents from the secret archives of the KGB are now in the public domain. But how much can you trust them? Any state security officer will confirm: business papers are rarely declassified in their original form.

They are preliminarily "cleaned out" by removing information that this department does not want to disclose for one reason or another. And yet, such documents can provide researchers with interesting information - in particular, about the problems of aliens and UFOs, which were also dealt with by our special services.

Double standards

For many years, the USSR had a double policy in relation to unidentified flying objects.

It was explained to the population that UFOs do not exist, this is hostile propaganda. Enthusiasts who circulated samizdat materials about UFOs or aliens were intimidated by accusations of anti-Soviet agitation.

At the same time, many UFO eyewitnesses gave written testimonies, which were carefully kept and systematized in the archives of the KGB. That is, the department itself fully admitted that such facilities exist and may even threaten the country's security.

An interesting story is associated with the activities of one of the founders of Russian ufology Felix Siegel (1920-1988). In November 1967, his appearance on television marked the beginning of a massive collection of information about UFOs. Several hundred documentary evidences came to the address of the scientific group he created at the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. But it was not possible to study them - the group was disbanded, and all its materials were transferred to the KGB.

"Blue folder"

Igor Sinitsyn, assistant to the head of the KGB Andropov, in an interview with the Observer magazine told about how he saw a dossier on the UFO phenomenon in his boss's office. This happened in 1977 - after an incomprehensible huge object appeared in the sky over Petrozavodsk.

Sinitsyn's duties included tracking publications in the foreign press, so he brought Andropov a translation of an article from the Stern magazine about the case in Petrozavodsk.

The head of the KGB carefully studied the material, then took out a blue folder from the table and invited Sinitsyn to familiarize himself with its contents. The folder contained reports from counterintelligence officers about UFO encounters. Andropov asked to take all the materials to the chairman of the USSR military-industrial commission A.P. Kirilenko. He left the documents with him.

After a short time, by order of Andropov, a program was developed that obliges every serviceman to report all cases of UFO sightings. The most interesting information fell into the "Blue folder".

In 1991, at the request of the pilot-cosmonaut Pavel Popovich, then president of the All-Union UFO Association, the Blue Folder was placed at its disposal. There were 124 pages of printed text: reports, explanatory notes, reports on encounters with unidentified objects.

Failed to shoot down

On July 28, 1989, mysterious disks appeared over missile depots located northeast of the city of Kapustin Yar in the Astrakhan region. The numbers of the military units in the documents are smeared with black ink, but the notes of the Chekist who reported on this situation were left. The military personnel of the transmitting center observed three objects, and the military personnel of the liquidation base - one.

UFOs were discs with a diameter of 4-5 meters with a hemisphere at the top. They glowed brightly, moved silently, sometimes dropping and hovering above the ground. The fighter called by the command (the number of the flight unit was also smeared with black ink) did not manage to fly close to any of the objects, they constantly left it.

Reports from Captain Chernikov, Warrant Officer Voloshin, Private Tishaev, and others suggest that the object was emitting signals that resembled a photographic flash.

Other Blue Folder documents describe the 1984 UFO encounter over Turkmenistan. The air defense system noticed a spherical object flying along the coast of the Caspian Sea at an altitude of 2000 meters and heading towards the state border. He did not respond to inquiries. Two fighters were raised into the air, but all attempts to shoot down the UFO failed. Moreover, when they began to shoot at the object, it dropped sharply to 100 meters above the ground - to a height that did not allow fighters to fire at it.

There are several dozen such cases in the Blue Folder. This evidence points to two indisputable facts: firstly, UFOs existed, and secondly, despite their official denial, the KGB was actively engaged in the collection and systematization of information regarding unidentified flying objects.

Letters from another planet

But the KGB would not be itself without secrets and hoaxes. Western researchers consider the so-called Ummite letters to be one of them. In the 1960s-1970s, letters in different languages \u200b\u200bwere sent to different people in Spain (and partly in France). The senders presented themselves as inhabitants of the planet Ummo, inhabited by intelligent inhabitants who flew to Earth.

The total number of letters was over 260, their volume exceeded one thousand typewritten sheets. Each page of these documents was marked with a special purple pictogram.

In the messages, the “Ummites” described the history of their stay on Earth. They flew here in 1950 in three spaceships, six of them, including two women, they are exploring and analyzing our lives.

The French journalist R. Marik, who studied these letters for many years, came to the conclusion that their creators were the employees of the KGB of the USSR. His arguments: the social system of the planet Ummo described in the letters is very similar to the communism propagated in the USSR. The "Ummites" did not hide their sympathy for political figures of the Marxist trend. Their views on the arms race faithfully echoed the classic themes of Soviet propaganda.

But the main thing is that in all European countries there were already legal communist parties, and in Spain the dictator Franco and the communists were banned. In 1975, Franco died, Christian Democrats came to power in the country, and the Communist Party became legal. And the flow of letters stopped! Have the Ummites achieved the desired goal?

Did the USSR have its own alien?

In the West, the topic of a flying saucer of extraterrestrial origin shot down by the USSR air defense system and the study of the corpse of the humanoid that controlled it, which was comprehensively investigated at the Semashko Institute, is periodically raised in the West. A UFO was shot down in 1968 in the Urals - near the city of Berezniki. Now everyone who is interested in ufology knows that this fact is nothing more than a hoax.

However, a number of magazine and television interviews on this topic were given in the United States by a certain P. Klimchenkov, who introduced himself as a former KGB officer and showed his identity card on the air.

His words are confirmed by an article from the newspaper "Vecherny Sverdlovsk" dated November 29, 1968. In it, witnesses claimed that before their eyes, some kind of shiny disk fell on a steep snow-covered slope. Then the military arrived at the scene and thoroughly combed the area.

Klimchenkov claims that the operation to locate the UFO was codenamed "Myth". Further anatomical dissection of the dead humanoid convinced scientists that he was not human.

How reliable is this information? Neither the Blue Folder nor any other released KGB documents say anything about her. But many documents demonstrated by Klimchenkov give the impression of being genuine. For example, the order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR A. Grechko to the commander of the Ural Military District A. Ponomarenko that KGB officers be present at all stages of UFO detection.

Their reports, according to Klimchenkov, were promptly placed at the disposal of the head of the scientific department of the KGB, Colonel A. Grigoriev. The documents shown indicate the scientific institution where the anatomical dissection of the humanoid was carried out, and the names of the doctors - Kamyshov, Savitsky and Gordienko. For unclear reasons, they all died on the same day, exactly one week after the autopsy was completed.

All three were true luminaries of science - and the KGB, with all its power, would hardly have cracked down on the first people of Russian medicine. Therefore, the death of doctors still raises questions.

Some foreign journalists claim that the leak of information about the activities of the former KGB was deliberate. But for what purpose? In response to a similar story about the UFO capture and humanoid autopsy in the US? As you know, in 1995, many American media accused the CIA of covering up this fact for many years, but the official authorities announced that there was no seizure.

Maybe the mercantile interests of the former employees of the once formidable department played a role? The American television company TNT does not hide the fact that documents and videos about the "Soviet alien" were bought in Russia from retired KGB officers.

The activities of the KGB have long been overgrown with rumors and legends. And it is extremely difficult to separate the truth from controlled disinformation. In addition, the existence of UFOs still affects the interests of state security - which means that some documents are unlikely to be published.

There are many legends about the famous Soviet Chekists. What the KGB officers were not accused of - they say, the watchdogs of the regime, capable of taking the lives of a dozen people for the sake of another star on their epaulets. Today, with the restructuring of the state security service, many papers from the secret archives are made publicly available. Of course, no one is going to naively believe that the documents are shown to people in their original form: almost certainly all the most important remains under the cover of secrecy. However, even from scraps of information, you can get a rough idea of \u200b\u200bthe affairs that happened under the roof of the State Security Committee.

Portable nuclear weapons

Back in 1997, General Alexander Lebed, in one of the rather chaotic interviews, let slip that the special services have about a hundred portable nuclear devices with a capacity of one kiloton each.

However, physics professor Aleksey Yablokov confirmed the presence of such devices. According to the data received from him, in the mid-70s, the top leadership of the KGB ordered the development of nuclear charges for terrorist operations. Moreover, there was information about the presence of similar devices in the United States.

Operation "Flute"

The secret services of the Soviet Union were often accused of developing biological weapons. According to some reports, the first samples of biological weapons were tested on the Germans at Stalingrad - the enemy was infected with rats.

Alibekov argued that the KGB leadership planned to provoke a conflict with the United States and unleash a real biological war.id \u003d "ctrlcopy"\u003e

The town of Ostrov in the Pskov region has never been distinguished by a particularly calm atmosphere. Despite the small population, regional militiamen in the 50s of the XX century had to leave for the settlement almost every week. However, one of the crimes already on duty ended in disaster.

The robbers not only took the entire cash register from the store, but also managed to kill two law enforcement officers. The third - captain Yuri Sirotin - was then seriously wounded. Already in the hospital, strange events began to happen to him. At night, as if delirious, the Soviet policeman suddenly shouted phrases in German. How did the Russian captain know a language that was alien to him and why in a dream he quoted the phrases of Mephistopheles from Johann Goethe's "Faust"? KGB officer Ivan Mitin came to Ostrov to sort out the case. It would be better if he stayed at home.

About all the secrets and mystical events that the Chekist Mitin faced - see in the series "Cry of the Owl".In the meantime, we will tell you about five other, no less mysterious cases that the KGB faced.

The case of Zinaida Reich

A popular actress, the first wife of Sergei Yesenin, the wife of Vsevolod Meyerhold, died in July 1939. This happened not in a distant forest or a house near Moscow, but in the elite district of the capital, in the apartment of Zinaida Reich. 17 knife wounds were found on her body. Despite the fact that her window and the windows of the neighboring apartments had been thrown open all night, no one heard a single scream or the noise of a struggle. In addition to the housekeeper, who received a harmless injury, and also chose to remain silent for the rest of her days.

Who and why killed Reich is unknown. Then the NKVD did not even start a case, so no evidence was preserved. Most likely, the criminals got into the apartment through the balcony - the actress lived on the second floor. Then they stabbed the victim several times with a knife and disappeared in the same way that they had come. It seems that it is even known that there were two killers. But all this remained only at the level of rumors.

Of course, there are no official versions. Various historians in books and articles retell events for their own reasons. Now the national issue is intertwined with the matter - Reich was German, then they say that the actress too actively opposed the arrest of her husband Meyerhold, which happened a few months before. It is only known that the motive was not monetary: nothing was taken out of the apartment and nothing was broken. There is only one moment that haunts the supporters of conspiracy theories so far. Just a few months later, Vardo Maximilishvili settled in the apartment of the deceased. An NKVD officer and, as they say, the passion of Lavrenty Beria.

The case will most likely never be solved by the official authorities: all the statutes of limitations have expired, and the witnesses with possible evidence have long since “floated away”. The death of Zinaida Reich will remain one of the unsolved pages of history.

They say that Wolf Messing was originally a project of the Soviet special services. Nostradamus of the 20th century predicted the fall of the Third Reich and the failure of Adolf Hitler, and also actively read minds and showed other skills unimaginable to an ordinary person. And all this, they say, at the behest of Joseph Stalin.

True, there is nothing like this in the KGB archives. No descriptions of miracles, no real contribution of Messing to the victory in World War II, no alleged meeting with the leader of the USSR. But the profile of Ninel Kulagina, who became famous as a telekinetic in the 60s, is accurately documented. The secret services even tested the abilities of a woman who claimed to be able to move small objects with her mind.

Although not Soviet, but Bulgarian special services worked with Vanga, this is also a confirmed fact. All the incredible "superpower" of the woman was that her assistants, including the Chekists, told her all the secret information about the guest - and Wang passed it off as "reading fate and thoughts." In addition, when a woman was mistaken, the security forces persistently asked not to disclose it. How can you refuse.

Believers in the Bulgarian telepathist came to her and told her all the important information, which then the woman's assistants passed on to the special services.

The murder of Lena Zakotnova

The murder of a girl from the town of Shakhty, in the Rostov region, resulted in the death of three more people, guilty and innocent. On December 22, 1978, near the river, townspeople found the body of a second grader. She died of suffocation.

The valiant Soviet militia could not leave such a high-profile case unsolved and quickly appointed the culprit. On the day of the murder, a local resident, Alexander Kravchenko, who was already in prison, was detained. At first, the man was released thanks to an iron alibi, but after only a month, for unknown reasons, he decides to commit theft. And so obvious that it is revealed in a matter of minutes, arrested and again raised the question of him as the killer of Lena.

Kravchenko was shot. Another suspect, who in a state of alcoholic intoxication himself confessed to the crime, committed suicide. Finally, they wanted to hang the case on the serial maniac Andrei Chikatilo. But even here, despite the acknowledged murders of 52 other people, he still did not touch Zakotnova. So the court decided.

It is still unknown who killed the second-grader Lena, the case has been postponed, no investigation is underway.

"Blue package"

In America, there is a legend about the real-life "Area 51", which is in Nevada. Allegedly, they collect all information about contacts with aliens, dissect the Martians and disassemble flying saucers. The Soviet Union did not lag behind. Only the scale is more modest there. You can't hide a whole test range in the basements of the Lubyanka, but the "blue package" is easy.

According to legend, for decades all evidence of the existence of aliens was collected in this folder with documents. Reports, dispatches, notes. No city madmen - just handwritten messages from the KGB, the Armed Forces or the Ministry of Internal Affairs. True, they are no different from the usual messages of ufologists: luminous disks in the sky, moving at high speed. Believe it or not - everyone decides for himself.

In the mid-2000s, most of the reports were published in the public domain. However, conspiracy theorists still claim that the Chekists have revealed only part of the truth to us, the tip of the iceberg. It is not possible to prove or disprove this.
