the air washes away the butter, the metal spreads , the plasma cutter knife was brought here by the russian geographical society to speed up the cleaning process. the summer season on the island is short. there is a lot to be done. alexander, a volunteer front, was getting from moscow no less than a dimensional metal. now we're cutting it up here, stacking the scrap metal. loads into the body. kamaz, he calls in on the landing ship of the pier or pier. no, all the calculated skill of the drivers of military sailors. without the forces and means of the northern fleet. operation by cleansing the island. it would have been impossible, too dangerous and difficult in the nineties, military units were disbanded from here, including the ministry of equipment from here. there remained equipment, written off postal lost funds, which laid everything on this in 2017 by the commander of the northern feet, but that moment the admiral had a decision to

clear this empty in these arctic cleanup program and, as it were, in 2017, the polish military was paid by heterogeneous forces and annually throughout. for the past few years they have been planted here. ecological landings are being cleared to the coast of the barents sea, metal was brought from different parts, the military islands are literally combing the kildin meter by meter, pulling out beams that have grown into the ground. there used to be a street of a house here, about which power lines stretched just recently across the world, even through such strong human ones, what was there? i would go like this, well, most likely, here, uh, some kind of bathhouse was definitely also located, most likely, some kind of military unit was located here and put it after itself. eh, let's just say small mess, of course, of course. i also contributed a little bit of my warehouse, once lived here in the region of

15,000 people, that is, well, imagine the scale that well, you see, here is pavel from st. petersburg on a small patch and for him. this is the second season on kildin before coming here. in the island, he did not hear anything like and most of our fellow citizens, after all, the guilds are not lost somewhere in the ocean for many kilometers from land to the mainland, the kola peninsula. a total of 800 meters. in the narrowest place of the kilda strait, by the way, bears often swim across. this season, they counted five more on the island than people who live here permanently. they call the island an unsinkable aircraft carrier of the polish gulf, indeed, like a patrol ship guarding the island, they are already the barents sea. the first mention of the island dates back to the middle of the 16th century and the island appears in plans to capture russia from the north through lapland . the german of heinrichstadt writes kildin in his

notes about muscovy even then the islands assigned important strategic importance such a kirdin turned out to be a stranger at all times. someone even compared the island with a cork, a kildin flying out of a bottle of champagne. it is located at the intersection of the main sea routes from murmansk, one goes through scandinavia to europe, the other to the northern sea route and the white sea. in 1594, the dutch traveler gene valenchotan drew a map of the island. you can see the lake grave isthmus. between it and the barents sea in the 17-18 centuries, the thoughts of the solovetsky monastery, a bay, a gildina were located on the island. an intermediate stop for warships, it was often attacked; the island lived in constant alarm. what can't you say about him? now calm, silence, broken only by the cries of tea. in the middle

of the 19th century, a norwegian married couple settled on the kildin, their homeland, johan and karolina erikson left in search of a better life and found it oddly enough, they fished in the harsh realities of the arctic island. erikson seals were hunted during this period were the only population of the keledins, the head of the family, johan was called the kildin king, his wife bore him 13 children, johan and karolina are buried. in this land for over 60 years. three generations of ericsson lived here since the end of the soviet regime. they left the president infrastructure development plans. kildins were built in the 19th century, but it was only in the first quarter of the 20th century that a fishing artel appeared here, the collective farm, by the beginning of world war ii, the island was a real military base with battery fortifications and positions of anti-aircraft installations, and now the island is cut off by underground military structures. along the coast, pillboxes and loopholes are visible - the heyday of the island. in wartime, it is hard to believe that these

shores strewn with skeletons of ships were connected with the mainland by a constant communication of life. it boiled here not only in summer, but also in severe kiedin winters. we had a telephone in our apartment, in our three-story pink house, there was a telephone on the ground floor. but when you pick up the phone, there is no dial tone. the military commissar is speaking to you. are you talking to him? hello pink house, third entrance. please connect with the stoker i’ll connect, which means there’s some kind of crack then stoker hello pink house, third entrance. come and dig us out, please, for us there were such winters of metal, up to the second floor. this photo was taken on a guildine a little girl on a snowdrift, our interlocutor of the lump is holding her mother silvira, serga, we meet in moscow, we are colleagues. elvira is in charge of the state television and radio broadcasting company murman her childhood was spent in the forgotten. now father island.

he served in the radio engineering troops and was the head of communications from three to nine years old. elvira with her parents lived in the village of upper kildin, she went to kindergarten on the island, then to school. you know what it was like. a school is when there is one teacher, and he teaches immediately for the first for the second and for the third grade. in the first entrance , the school laughed in a two-room apartment for today's people who are accustomed to comfort, probably, it cannot be said that it is a well-developed infrastructure. well, everything that was needed for life to survive. everything was a sailor's club, where there was a small gym. there was a bookstore the nineties, after the collapse of the union, the kildins the need to deploy a garrison on the island was empty, military vehicles disappeared, as after a man-made disaster they literally grew into the ground. decades later, nature returns its gradually absorbing metal concrete. but the only residential

building today on the kildin summer is spent in it . alexei baranov prefers peace and solitude. it took us almost 12 hours to get here by military aircraft from the airfield. chkalovsky to the closed severomorsk from there on the hydrograph. then transfer to landing ship. here we are finally on the ground. on the first day of the arctic, it is most difficult to get used to hordes of mosquitoes and the sun, which in summer does not set at all, walk high in a circle constantly on the island. now only the military live and serve and clear the client's land. then dismantled a bunch of metal found a nest. bird 's nest, i see. well, not a duck, tina's eggs are more once there were a lot of deer on the island. there are almost no arctic foxes left now, everything was not so the island has changed. now we are seeing all sorts of

transformations of different sand killed everyone ruthlessly. it's been over 100 years now. there were other animals and otters, at least two bears are now nearby. they go here to eat berries, but they try not to catch their eyes. i've been walking for a long time, i didn't see them, but i saw fresh tracks. that is, they are definitely there, but i’m not here , but birds. there are many more than 40 species on the rocks, a bird market is located, a breathtaking sight we go. do not go off the path to apte or be very careful, and most importantly, look under your feet, because there can be seagull chicks. stone ledges are strewn with nests, the rumble is such that it lays ears. every now and then, another flock shoots up the air, makes a circle and returns to their homes. you can't get close. there is a risk of disrupting the habitual way of life of birds is heard. as the seagulls tear themselves up, they circle over

the field and chase ducks to steal eggs and for nests. here are two such abandoned nests, but, of course, i will not touch them with my hands, because, perhaps, the birds will still return here; it is curious that duck nests are being built not from branches or grass, but from own fluff jackets pillows are very valuable , light and warm, but there is no one to collect them here, flora and fauna. kildino exists according to its own rules and regulations. igor popov, an ecologist of the russian geographical society, studied the waters of the grave lake, there are no more than a dozen of them in the world, it used to be a sea bay, and then such an embankment formed behind the current and waves, it separated and turned into a lake, but the fish that was in this bay, turned accordingly, that is, cod, so there is such a rare appearance of christ who lives in the lake.

try it, well, i won’t get poisoned, probably, the water is here, it’s directly salty on top, fresh should not be, it’s also salty. it looks like tarzan, the kilda cod is listed in the red book. this year they even managed to calculate it with the help of an echo sounder, although the numbers have not yet been announced, but this will allow you to monitor the number of fish, by the way, the layers of the lake do not mix from below a layer of hydrogen sulfide, then sea water and fresh kildin from above. the island is fraught with many mysteries at the same time reminiscent of norway, ireland, the alps and this is the real arctic further north, only ice and permafrost. it is interesting for its own described landscapes. there are several very beautiful waterfalls here, if someone was somewhere closer to populated areas. excursions would be taken there, tourists would be shown something about the waterfalls. uh, there's an interesting landform. this is how we see the stones here now, but these stones are close to the pier

in relation to the chests, as they were called by the former inhabitants of the island or damn stones, as they were called the ancient coast-dwellers, like the scenery of a science fiction film, it is hard to believe that these are miraculous colossus, and parts of the rocks have been shaped by salty winds. while getting to this little-known land is difficult and expensive, the russian geographical society believes that kildin can become a national park and a place for responsible ecological tourism. after the large general cleaning of the island is completed, in general this year we planned to remove about 300 tons of scrap metal from the dean construction site. we are uh very active worked this season. yes, we are still

working in parallel on wrangel a island and in a number of other locations, so in fact it must be said that the arctic is polluted in different ways. yes , therefore, for each location. ah used its own developed its own. here is the logic. yes, cleaning. i brought elvira a souvenir piece of slate from the beach, on which giant stone chests are scattered. here is a piece of the island from childhood. beauty is emotion, there are tears. yes , they are welling up. see the years go by and the island in the heart is catching up in many ways through different people. do you think the island will start

a new life on the island? i am sure that enthusiasts will start there, now they are building, this military-historian patriotic center, which is so strategically right, correctly stands that i would not be surprised if after some, there are 5-10 years. there will be people again. there are no random people here . and those who managed to visit say the island, as if watching you and testing for strength the harsh climate of the arctic and the barents sea, but the participants of the general cleaning, opened by the whole storm of the keldins, met with the sun and warm without the wind.

in lipetsk, the fsb prevented a major terrorist attack. what were the detainees prepared for by saboteurs of the legal sector banned in russia? who oversaw them? the exit is blocked on the windows of the lattice fire in the moscow hostel, people could not get out, the prosecutor's office found out the circumstances. they received orders and medals for courage and special services to the fatherland in the capital, new billboards appeared with photographs of fighters who distinguished themselves during a special military operation. the village in yakutia was defended, but the fight against forest fires continues extinguishing complicates the hot windy. the weather, the air group increase the fight against fire in other regions.
