Now, many seek to prove that there were no catastrophe in the Soviet times, there were no trains with rail, the ships did not die and the aircraft did not fall. It is understandable - in the USSR, all these facts were hidden, along with the Soviet catastrophes forgotten and the names of their victims ... No one, for example, does not remember that in 1976 the aircraft fell on a residential building in Novosibirsk ... A catastrophe in Svetlogorsk is better known .

The temple - a monument in honor of the Icon of Our Lady "All Morning Joy" built on the site of the tragic death of a kindergarten on May 16, 1972.

If you are in Svetlogorsk - visit it ...

May 16, 1972. About 12:30 Aircraft An-24T aircraft of the Navy of the Baltic Fleet of the USSR, making a flight for the purpose of the gain of radio equipment, failed in complex meteors, hooking a tree. After a collision with a tree, a damaged aircraft flew about 200 meters and collapsed to the building of a kindergarten in Svetlogorsk. 34 people were killed in the catastrophe: all 8 were in the plane, 23 children and 3 kindergarten employees.

The children's kindergarten of the resort town of Svetlogorsk was filled with cheerful. ring voices. The dinner time came up, the kids returned from the walk. And suddenly - a giant shadow closed the sky, a monstrous blow was heard, the flame shot. In the opening of the collapsed wall, the two kindergartens of kindergarten joined the walls. It was frowning by tenth-grades of the local school along the street ... It happened at 12.30 on May 16, 1972.

The eyewitnesses of the tragedy will tell: in the morning it was clear and warm, but then over the sea with a dense veil. From there, from the sea, from the fog came the hum of turbines. Then the plane appeared over the cloudy coast, hooked the card pine tree, quinged the top, climbed half the wing and with a decrease, losing part of the sheat, flew by another two hundred meters and collapsed on the building of the kindergarte. Twenty meters from the fall place in the house there was a lonely old woman. This house and today is ...
The regional party boss, the command of the Baltic fleet, was examined, took a picture of the tragedy to the place of the tragedy, the remains of the dead were taken away. During the night, the sailors from the nearby part were removed the wreckage of the aircraft, disassembled ruins, cleared the territory and even broke the flowerbed on the site of the former kindergarten. Information about the tragedy was imposed by the most severe veto. Naturally, the rumors and speculation began to walk around Svetlogorsk. A small resort town was shocked by the tragedy, which took twenty-three children's lives. Under the ruins, the cook of the children's kindergarten Tamara Yankovskaya killed, and two more workers - Antonina Romanenko and Valentina Shabaeva-Meltelitsa died from burns in a military hospital.

Military pilots, crew members of the crashing aircraft - captains Viloria Gutgets and Alexander Kostina, Senior Lieutenant Andrei Lyutov, Inportistrators Nikolai Gavrilyuk, Leonid Sergienko, Senior Inspector-pilot Lieutenant Colonel Lion Denisova, Senior Engineer of Lieutenant Colonel Anatoly Svetlova buried at the city cemetery in Kaliningrad. The body of the right pilot of Senior Lieutenant Viktor Baranova's wife took the homeland.

From Moscow, a commission for the investigation of the causes of the catastrophe, which was headed by the Deputy Minister of Defense for Arming General Colonel-Engineer Alexeyev, urgently flew out of Moscow. He was accompanied by a lot of high military ranks. The found "black boxes" was sent to the decryption, suggesting that the disaster was due to the failure of some kind of device. The Commission missed the Aviamol in the "sieve" of a detailed survey of all aviators. When after a few days the data of the "black box" were obtained, it became clear: the technique has nothing to do with it. Having worked out all versions, the Commission finally came to the Unified Conclusion. But this to the general public was not brought to the general public, and the residents of Svetlogorsk were vinyl at the happening of the pilots.

Until now, the anniversary of the tragedy at the cemetery of Svetlogorsk come to honor the memory of the victims of the Baltic Fleet Aviation, are found with the relatives of the victims of the tragedy, which is now known to the true cause of the catastrophe. Every year of the Ninth-May, on the birthday of the Commander An-24 Captain Viloria Gutnik, at the city cemetery of Kaliningrad and fellow soldiers of the deceased crew. And at the place of the tragedy, a chapel was erected.

But there is no local print in the local print and there are articles where the authors question the professionalism of the crew. Say, he did not cope with his task due to unfavorable flight conditions: a high raid coast, a sudden fog, the weather on the weather on the route. The allegedly worked and the "Crimp" factor: a proven reaction of crew members (possible effect of alcohol). One of the authors even rubbing ridiculous rumors about the crew desire closer to see the girls-nudistok on the beach (and this in 1972, and at a temperature plus 6 degrees!). They wrote about the fact that the crew was soaked allegedly ....
What really happened on May 16, 1972? Versions and evidence of eyewitnesses had to hear a lot. But I will only build on official documents. As for the professionalism of the crew, the act of investigating the disaster of the An-24 aircraft is not questioned: a raid from Captain Gutget was about five thousand hours by that time. Yes, and colleagues respond about him as a high-class pilot.

Lieutenant Colonel Stock Vyacheslav Kuryanovich:

After the end of the flight school, Vilor Ilyich Gutetnik passed retraining in the Ryazan Training Center. Then he was in court in civil aviation. Flying by the second pilot in the Yakut airline. I got there experience traveling to distant and supervalted distances. In 1965 he became commander of the aircraft in our part. I flew in his year and a half the navigator. In our regiment, Guttik was considered one of the best pilots ...

Lieutenant Colonel of Stock Vladimir Pisarenko:

Vilor Ilyich was the pilot pilot. Literate,. Disciplined, very scrupulous in everything. And the whole crew was the strongest. The same navigator captain Kostin. He was older than the commander by age was. Very competent navigator. We came to us from a new land where flew in the most difficult conditions.
As for the "beer factor", in the case of the investigation of the catastrophe there is a conclusion of the pathologist, it is completely denying such an assumption.

I carefully studied (thank you so much for the help of the former commander of the Air Force BF Lieutenant General of Aviation Vasily Spakurina) All documents, pictures, drawings, eyewitness testimonies, records of radio exchange, etc. It turns out that, on March 13, 1972, the Commander of the Baltic Fleet Commander of the Baltic Fleet General Colonel Aviation S. Glyaev approved the flight plan. According to him, on May 16, Khravo-Zelenogradsk was to be held on the route - Cape Taran - Spit (landing) - Chkalovsk (landing) - Harbor (landing).
From the report of the Mikulevich's ensign manager: "On the arrival of Captain Gutgets on the CDP, I took my certificate that the crew for the health of the task can be performed. And signed a flight sheet with a planking on the spit."

An-24 took off the brave at 12 o'clock 15 minutes. The overall flight guide was performed by the operational duty officer of the Aviation Lieutenant Colonel Wowly, it also gave permission to perform the task. Having gained a height, the plane went to the point in the Zelenogradsk area, "attached" to her and went to the caraway caraway. Then I made a reversal over the sea to exit the specified bearing. Above the sea was already a dense fog.

The collision of the aircraft with an obstacle occurred for 14 minutes 48 seconds flight. At the same time, black boxes recorded: the altimeter showed a height of 150 meters above sea level. In fact, from the foot of the rippled shore to the top of the pine is not more than 85 meters. There is a scheme for the destruction of the aircraft. "The commander did not have enough some fraction of a second," said Vasily Vladimirovich Proskunnin with bitterness. "- Coming out of the fog, he understood everything and pulled the steered on himself. Alas, An-24 is not a fighter." The scheme to centimeters recorded a drop in the aircraft after a collision with a pine on the sea shore. And almost mystics seems after horizontally dropping corkscrew specifically on kindergarten ...

Why did the altimeter rotate? It turns out that on the eve of this flight in the Navy Air Force, it was accepted, as now it is clear, an ill-conceived solution to replace high-volume with IL-14 on the AN-24. Nobody checked how they would behave on a new plane. The first victims of this ill-conceived solution were the Svetlogorsk children and the shooting carriage. Subsequently, the experiments have shown that the altimeter, rearranged from the IL-14 on the AN-24, gave an error to 60-70 meters.

The announced version of the catastrophe: the unsatisfactory organization of preparation and management of this flight. According to the tragedy in Svetlogorsk, the criminal case was not initiated by the result of the investigation was the order of the Minister of Defense with two zeros, in accordance with which about 40 military ranks were shot from posts.

In 1972, it was not accepted to widely cover the details of the accidents and disasters, especially the happening of the military. And the circumstances of the tragedy that occurred in a small resort town on the shores of the Baltic Sea were covered with a curtain of silence. Let with a great delay, but finally a public accusation with the crew, who himself became a victim of erroneous cabinet decisions.

Sign of European Zodiac Taurus

Dates: 2013-04-21 -2013-05-20

Four elements and their signs are distributed as follows: the fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius), Land (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), Air (Twins, scales and aquarius) and Water (Cancer, Scorpio and Fish). Since the elements help describe the main features of the character of a person, including them in our horoscope, they help to make a more complete picture of a particular personality.

Features of this element - cold and dryness, metaphysical matter, strength and density. In the zodiac, this element is represented by the earth trigon (triangle): Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. The land trigon is considered a materialistic trigon. Principle: Stability.
The Earth creates forms, laws, gives concreteness, stability, stability. The land structures, analyzes, classifies, creates a foundation. It is inherent in such qualities as inertia, confidence, practicalism, reliability, patience, rigor. In the body, the Earth gives braking, passing through tightening and compression, slows down the metabolic process.
People in whose horoscopes expressed Earth elements, have a melancholic temperament. These are people sober mind and calculating, very practical and business. The purpose of life is always real and achievable, and the path to this goal has been scheduled for young years. If they deviate from their purpose, it is very slightly more because of the internal reasons than external. People of this trigon achieve success due to such excellent traits, as perseverance, perseverance, excerpt, endurance, purposefulness, unshakable. They do not have such a fantasy and bright, living imagination, like the signs of the trigon of water, there are no utopian ideas, like the signs of fire, but they stubbornly go to their goal and always reach it. They choose the path of the smallest external resistance, and with emerging obstacles mobilize their strength and energy to overcome everything that it prevents them from achieving the intended goal.
People of the Earth Earth seek to hold matter. The creation of material values \u200b\u200bbrings them true satisfaction, and the results of labor make their souls. All the goals they put in front of them must first bring them benefit and material benefit. If the majority of the planets are located in the land trigon, such principles will spread to all areas of life, right up to love and marriage.
People with the predominance of the Earth's element are firmly on their feet, prefer stability, moderation, sequence. Love a settling lifestyle, tied to home, property and homeland. Lifting periods and well-being are replaced by crises that may be long due to the inertia of the Earth's trigone. It is this inertia that does not allow them to quickly switch to a new type of activity or relationship. Here is their limited ability to adapt to anyone and to anything, with the exception of the sign of the Virgin.
People with severe Earth elements usually choose a profession associated with material values, money or business. Often they have "golden hands", they are excellent artisans, can be successful in applied sciences and applied arts. They are patient, submissive circumstances, sometimes occupy an expectant position, while not forget about the bread. Everything is done with one goal - to improve their physical existence on Earth. There will be care about the soul, but this is from the case of the case. All of the above for them is easily achievable, provided that their energy does not go to such negative features of character, like ultra-humanism, excessive calcality, carefulness and greed.

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius. A fixed cross is a cross of evolution, stability and stability, accumulation, development concentrations. He uses the experience of the past. It gives stability, hardness, strength, resistance, stability. The man, in the horoscope of which the sun, the moon or most personal planets are in fixed signs, is distinguished by conservatism, inner tranquility, unshakable, perseverance, perseverance, patience, endurance, prudence. He violently resists that he is trying to impose, and is able to repulse to anyone. Nothing annoying him as the need to change anything, whatever the field of life it matches. He loves certainty, consistency, requires reliability guarantees to be protected from any surprise.
Although he does not have sharp gusts, ease in decision-making, which are inherent in other signs, but it is distinguished by the constancy of opinions, resistant to its habits and life positions. He is tied to his work, can work without tired, "before falling". It is also constant in their affections to friends and close, firmly and persistently holds for someone or for anything, whether material value, social status, a true friend, a devotee like-minded or a close and beloved person. The people of the fixed cross are true, devotees and reliable, these are knights words. You can always rely on their promises. But it is worth it only once to deceive, and their confidence is lost, maybe even forever. People of the fixed cross are strongly expressed by desires, passions, they act only from their own motives and always rely on their own flair. Their feelings, sympathy and antipathy are unshakable, unshakable. Nevzpectors, failures and blows of their fate are not bend them, and any obstacle enhances their perseverance and perseverance, as it gives them new forces to fight.

The main formatives of the beginning of the Taurus are typical manifestations of the elements of the Earth. This is a female, "Yinsky", sign, sign of the vibration of the Venus planet. Taurus is depicted with appropriate animals that are firmly standing on Earth. This is a bull, as if coming out of the ground with a direct connection with it. The Earth gives the body strength, on the one hand, the opportunity to feel firmly standing on the legs, and on the other hand, the earth, as if attracts the Taurus, not letting him break away from himself.

People born under the sign of the Taurus are often excellent economists, planners, business executives, trade workers. Among them, in world statistics, most of the ministers of agriculture, a lot of large bankers, financiers, and even politicians. This is all due to the fact that in all matters they are guided by common sense, it is very earthly, practical, sometimes pragmatic people. If we talk about the negative qualities of the Taurus, which the Earth gives him, then it is, above all, conservatism, striving for stability. But, on the other hand, conservatism is needed and useful in any serious matter. Therefore, if the Taurus presents healthy conservatism in his desires, it is great in reality, which he is engaged. The same conservatism helps the calves to express themselves as lawyers. Their desire to adhere to the previously established order helps them to achieve great success both in society and in all areas they are engaged in.
It is necessary to emphasize one important nuance: the calves then effectively act when they feel a solid soil, that is, when they have a clear life platform in any form (durable family, a solid position in society, large material accumulations, inheritance; as well as the accumulation of intellectual or energy nature). Tales constantly wink everything to function normally. This is a necessary condition for their lives. In itself, the accumulation of the calf - the trait is not bad, not good, but natural. The rating "good" or "bad" appears when we begin to analyze how this accumulation of the Taurus uses. If he uses the accumulated on good deeds, affected by the evolution of people, large groups or all mankind is good. If the Taurus became Hapuga, then it cannot be worse.

Little child - Taurus will always save something, whether the candy, or a penny, or books, or brands. Parents should be very attentive to these inclinations of children so that they do not move into quality, corrosive the essence of a person. Sometimes the constant needs of the Taurus have always under his legs the basis and some incentive comes to funny, then he cannot be guided in the life of abstract concepts, philosophical concepts, and it is definitely needed clearly and clearly formulated task. By the way, Tales are studying with great difficulty, with great difficulty in their knowledge, but if the information came in mind, then it will not choose anything. Important for them and material incentives in activities and in school, including.
The accumulation is a good feature if it is sent to the right direction. The highest quality of the Taurus, the Earth is the desire for strength, to the accumulation of information. Taurus is very patient, they can seek their own for a long time until he fulfills its program. This is a great quality - perseverance, the ability to achieve the goal by all means when it is associated with constructive affairs, mugness to people. It is for this that are tuned high calves. All calves are typically typical of hard work, perseverance in achieving the goal. Certificates are also characteristic of creative fertility. The most vivid examples are Karl Marx, O. Balzac.

1972: In Svetlogorsk, the plane fell to kindergarten, more than 30 children, educators and crew killed

On May 16, 1972, about 12:30 the An-24T aircraft of the 263rd separate transport aviation regiment of the Baltic Fleet of the USSR, making a flight with the purpose of the gain of radio engineering equipment, failed in complex meteors, hooking a tree. After a collision with a tree, a damaged plane flew about 200 meters and collapsed to the building of a kindergarten in Svetlogorsk. 33 people were killed in the catastrophe: all 8 members of the aircraft crew, 22 children and 3 kindergarten officer.

One of the first, the falling aircraft saw a few holidaymakers who were on the day in the park, and schoolchildren who, in the city stadium, ended the physical education lesson. Next instant the building of the kindergarten shook the monstrous strength. With the fall of both planes and chassis, the pillar fuselage at high speed rammed the second floor, burying under his debris of all. Aviation fuel that flashed from a blow with a new force, during the second seconds absorbed in its flame all living things. Next to the glowing ruins of the kindergarten on the road was filled with a plane cabin. In her, clutching into the steering wheel, sat dead pilot. The second pilot lay on the road. The wind then knocked the flame from him, then he was inflated with a new force. Almost simultaneously to the location of the catastrophe arrived militia outfits, firefighters, military personnel of neighboring military units and sailors of Baltflut.


During the few minutes, a triple cobweb was exhibited. Armed soldiers, tightly clutching hands, barely restrained the unfortunate mothers, which rushed to where their children were killed in terrible fire. Something managed to push them on a safe distance. Along the road, on the handwritten from the soot lawn, the military laid white sheets. Immediately the rescuers began to put the remains of children extracted from the ruins. Many, not withstanding, closed their eyes, turned away. Someone fainted.

For 24 hours in the resort Svetlogorsk, a state of emergency was introduced. Residents were banned not only to leave the city, but even leaving homes. Disconnected electricity and phones. The city froze, people sat in dark apartments, as if in shelters during the war. From the evening on the coast, the orders of militia and the warriors were on duty: there was a fear that someone from the relatives of the dead would decide to be drowned. Works on clearing the duties and the search for the bodies of the dead continued to a deep night. The remnants of Ruins, as it turns out, taken out to the landfill on the outskirts of the city. A long time in its surroundings will find burnt children's books and toys, details and items of military ammunition ...


As soon as the last loaded car left the city's limits, the place where the children's kindergarten was standing on the eve of the day before, laid down the turbulent ground. To hide the tragedy tragedy from prying eyes, it was decided to split a large flower leaf.

- By the morning of the garden, it was never never - flowerbed flourished in his place! - remembers Andrei Dmitriev. - Many parents did not believe their eyes then. The scaled ground is cut, the turf, the paths, sprinkled by broken red bricks. Bloomred and burnt coil trees. And only sharply smelled kerosene. The smell was holding two more ...

At the fact of the aircraft crash in Svetlogorsk, the criminal case was not excited. They were limited to the order of the Minister of Defense, in accordance with which about 40 military ranks were shot. And then the main version appeared: the pilots were to blame, in which alcohol was allegedly found. For this reason, the relatives of the dead children and the staff of the kindergarten were forbidden to bury the pilots at the Svetlogorsk cemetery next to the "their victims". For the same reason in the chapel temple in the general list of those of those killed in a plane crash, there were no places of eight names of the crew members.

In 1972, it was not accepted to widely cover the details of the accidents and disasters, especially the happening of the military. And the circumstances of the tragedy that occurred in a small resort town on the shores of the Baltic Sea were covered with a curtain of silence. Let with a large delay, but finally a public accusation with the crew, who himself became a victim of erroneous cabinet decisions ... "

Hundreds of children burned alive at school: a terrible tragedy, which no one knew about

At the beginning of the twentieth century there was a fire in which more than a hundred children were killed - and no one knew about the 1990s, except for their relatives and neighbors. Russian journalists found information about this tragedy in the Chuvash village Elbarusovo.

A small wooden school appeared in the Chuvash village Elbarusovo in 1914 - she was built by local entrepreneurs who had a sawmill plant.

On November 5, 1961, the school gathered at the concert dedicated to the next anniversary of the October Revolution. While the group of boys performed the sailor dance on stage, physics teacher, together with high school students, started the electric generator in the next room. It was cold, so they threw a few lamps in the stove located in the same room (apparently something like burzhuyki). The firewood was wet, and the teacher decided that they caught fire, add some gasoline - but poured more than necessary. Flame flashed. The fire shifted on the parties and the floor; Almost immediately caught fire and the assembly hall, where there was a concert. The teacher himself jumped out the window.


The hall instantly clouded smoke. Burned walls and ceilings. The crowd rushed to two windows. A spare output was locked and littered with boxes; The windows opened inside the room and were closed with the parties that moved to free the place for the festive event.

"At first, I found a Luce on the flap of a unburned dress, then Kohl on the fold of his panties. I sewed them myself. Tolik and America did not find, "the mother remembered the mother of four dead children. In total, 106 children died in a fire, almost half of them were under seven years old.

Most of the residents of the USSR did not know about the death of more than a hundred children in the fire in Chuvashia before the early 1990s. Public memorial service was held for the first time in 1991.

Every 5 November, schoolchildren read out loud the names of the dead, there is a special site dedicated to the tragedy -

This tragedy that occurred in the city of Svetlogorsk was unknown to the general public for a long time. The plane fell on the pre-school institution here in 1972, they spoke only in the 1990s. The location where the kindergarten was located before, has long been focused on earth.

Fate flight

About 12 o'clock on May 16, 1972, An-24T Civil Aviation Airport flew from Khrabrovo Airport in Kaliningrad. The main goal of the flight was the verification and configuration of radio equipment. The route, which basically ran over the sea, was as follows: the city of Zelenogradsk, Cape Taran, Kosya and Chkalovsk villages, and then brave again.

After about 15 minutes, the plane evaporated. It was not visible on the radar screens. In fact, at this time, An-24 had already fallen on the building of the preschool institution of the city of Svetlogorsk.

The fall

In that May day in kindergarten, life went to her! At 12 o'clock 30 minutes, pupils, returned from the walk, started dinner. However, at that moment, not far from anyone unsuspecting children and educators An-24 already lost height. The plane was a tree, as a result of which part of the wing was destroyed, another 200 meters flew and collapsed on the pre-school building.

After the crash of the aircraft, the kindergarten covered the flame: fuel broke. Almost all (except two) from those who were in the structure died. This is 24 children aged two to seven years and three employees of the children's institution. Failed to avoid death and members of the crew and passengers of the aircraft - only 8 people.

Causes of the accident

The events of the catastrophe investigated the members of the Special Commission, which urgently arrived at the place of the tragedy from Moscow. The main cause of the accident they called the wrong calculation by the crew members of the flight height, as well as the malfunction of the instruments. In addition, on May 16, weather conditions also left much to be desired: a thick fog was standing over the sea.

The criminal case on the fact of the Svetlogorsk tragedy was never initiated.

Erased from the face of the earth

Apparently, in order to avoid a big publicity, for the time of the funeral of those killed in Svetlogorsk, the movement of transport on roads was limited and all trains were canceled. Despite this, several thousand people came to the farewell.

In the evening of the same day, when there was a catastrophe, fragments of the aircraft and the remains of the building were removed. And the next morning, at the place of preschool institution, the townspeople were surprised by a huge flower bed. As if there was no kindergarten, airplane and corpses.

In 1994, a temple-monument was erected at the place of the tragedy in honor of the icon of Our Lady of "All Morning Joy."


After the Curonian Spit in front of Kaliningrad, we were planned a small walk through Svetlogorsk, the former German resort town in which we strongly advised to visit. Svetlogorsk is located on the Baltic Sea of \u200b\u200b50 km from Kaliningrad. The population of the city is about 11 thousand people. The modern name Svetlogorsk received in 1946, until that time, the city was called Rauschen (Rauschen). The popularity of the city as a resort has increased significantly since 1900, when they paved the railway from Königsberg to the Raound / Ort station (now Svetlogorsk-1), extended in 1906 to the Raewene / Dune station (Svetlogorsk-2). Trains could now approach the sea, and the resort became much more affordable for many residents of Königsberg.


Svetlogorsk with Kaliningrad is connected by a highway. It is part of the Primorsky Ring under construction. Surprisingly, this 4-way high-speed road continuous movement with bumps, night lighting and union is not a federal highway. True, only the 2nd turns of Kaliningrad - Zelenogradsk - Khrubornovo and Zelenogradsk Airport - Svetlogorsk - Pioneer is put into operation. After the construction is completed, the ring will clocked with Kaliningrad through the cities of Baltiysk and light.

At 12:29:48, coming out of a dense fog over the sea, the plane cuts down the top of the top of the pine and the damaged wing falls at the kindergarten. At these minutes 22 Children and Three Adults Sitted for Lunch Tables. The cause of the catastrophe is the incorrect testimony of the altimeter, rearranged on the "An-24" with "IL-14". Nobody checked like, he will behave on a new plane. Victims ill-decide steel Svetlogorsk children and crew "An-24".


32. Memorable board.

The gaping funnel for the morning of the soldiers turned into a square with flowers. At that time, official information about such tragedies was not published. Only after 22 years on folk donations on the site of Gorky grave was built a chapel in memory of those who in May day so unexpectedly and so scary left life. On May 16, pilots from "Khraverovo" come to the place of death, there are flowers. There are no other monument to their colleagues. Children come here on Sunday school.


33. ...

For many years about the terrible Svetlogorsk history, it was impossible to mention. When other times came, the collection of funds for chapel began. She was erected in 1994. And since then it always burns a candle. In memory of those who accepted a terrible death here ...



The last minutes (based on Wikimapia).

Today, the kindergarten Sanatorium No. 3 (the current "Svetlogorsk"), probably, would be considered "elite." And then it was called "Blouth". Cozy two-storey mansion. Total 25 children. Soul staff. Many wanted to arrange here their child.

According to the Kaliningrad Hydrometeoobuo, on May 16, the region is expected to cloud with clarifications. Weather without significant precipitation, in the morning fog, the wind is alternating weak to moderate, the temperature is five to ten degrees of heat. " The weather forecasters were not mistaken. The weather on that distant day was really unimportant. Nevertheless, the bastard still enjoyed the traditional walk.

The husband teacher Valentina Shabashova-Metelitsa was in the hospital, where he had an operation. Valentine hurried to Kaliningrad to hold a spouse. And therefore completed a walk twenty minutes earlier than usual. Many believe that if children were still walking, and did not sit in the building, they would have a chance ...

Julia Voron and her husband Vladimir on May 16 went shopping TV. The path lay past a kindergarten. The cook there worked Antonina Romanenko, a friend of Yulia.

I run for a minute to Tosa?

In the locker room of the crow saw two pumped boys.

Why are it you, eh?

In response, those only hurt.

They scared, here and punished, - the teacher explained with the patient rigor. All who knew her, say she was a very kind man.

Come on you, Val! - Guest has become unmarked nearlyagogically. - Well, shoot, the march for lunch!

One boy was rejected to wash his hands, the other in the toilet. The teacher went to the street, meet her Andiffs. He sick, grandmother led him to warming up. And on the way, they decided to go to mom.

The rest of the children were already in the dining room.

They sat quietly behind the tables as angels, waited for the first second-compote, - wipes the thrown tears Julia Egorovna.

Leaving the cutlets in the kitchen by Anna Unzozhanov, Tosya came to the game room from Yule. Talked, stood by the window. Watched on the street Valya hugs the running son.

Waiting for Yuya, the husband decided to pour her lily of her lily. Overlooking the hundred meters, he heard the hum and strange crackle. Wrapped on the sound, measurement: From the side of the sea, breaking the tops of the trees, the aircraft has become ...

At the stadium near the kindergarten just ended the lesson of physical education. Stretching, class returned to school. Seeing the plane, everything seemed to be numb.

To me! - Peeling, Jury Baklanov, shouted the guys who left forward to the guys.

All ran back. And then the plane collapsed ...

Maria Kudreshova then worked in the studio male crucible. The usual Tuesday, it went to dinner. Suddenly - the sound of the explosion. Immediately after that, electricity was gone.

And then - the terrible news:

Sadik exploded!

Mary Grigorievna had a son Aleshka there. Jumped out on the street, I saw the standing motorcycle, I began to shout: "Whose motorcycle?!" The owner came running, rushed. Arrived, and at the site of kindergarten - hell. Everything was burning, even asphalt. A plane cabin was lying on the road. In her, clutching into the steering wheel, sat the dead flyer. The body of another hung on the tree. There were no firefighters yet. Around rushing, not knowing what to do, the first people who came to the rescue.

Among them was Vladimir Moiseevich, the spouse of Yulia Egorovna.

Do not believe it, but for some reason I was sure that my Julia was alive, alive!

Waking up, littered with wreckage of the crow could only turn his head. I saw that there was a dead towing. Julia Egorovna saved the wardrobe. He took on the main blow to the whole thing that flew into her head.

Woman tried to get out. In vain. I began to shout: "Help, help!" Meanwhile, the fire was already chosen to her. Breathe everything is harder ...

And here - an explosion. As it turned out, gas cylinders standing in the kitchen were rushing. As a result, a hole was formed in the dawn. The crow began to wade up the top.

Selling, at random went through the burning ruins. Towards a fireman. Seeing Yuya, he threw a brand and ran away.

Frightened. No wonder, I looked terribly. Yes, and in general there it was happening. Any nerves will surrender.

He pulled her in the end familiar policeman, Peter Zanin. Then I put it on the grass and persuaded not to move. She was all rushed back: "There is also a burning, it is necessary to get it!"

The truth does not scrubly

Eduard Trumpetkov 35 years ago was a secretary on the ideology of the Svetlogorsk Public CupSU. It happened that in those days he remained in the city "on the farm". The first secretary is slying with heart attack, the second - left.

On the morning of May 16, the Trumpetkov was in Kaliningrad - at a meeting in the community dedicated to the affairs of the fishing industry. By noon, the meeting ended, and the secretary went back. Suddenly, his car overtook "ambulance". Behind her is the other, the third.

Let's go and you drive behind them, - having worried, said Edward Vasilyevich Shofera.

When they drove up to the place of the tragedy, the area was already stupid. Military and cadets from the Militia School came to the aid of fire. Some collected the remains of pilots and the wreckage of the aircraft, others disassemble the ruins of the garden, removing from under the bodies of the body.

By the way, on the same day about PE in Svetlogorsk, "Voice of America" \u200b\u200bsaid.

On May 17, there was a meeting dedicated to what happened - continues the Trumpetkov. "And I asked: How did you quickly recognize about our misfortune abroad?" Is there really agents who work for foreign intelligence in Svetlogorsk? One of the kagabeshnikov reluctantly explained: foreigners intercepted negotiations, they have a tracking station here.

Despite the measures taken by the "authorities", the news of the tragedy quickly spread with us.

Shortly after the fall of the aircraft, I got a call from Light, "Larisa Novikova lived in Svetlogorsk recalls. - Like, what happened there? And in the evening, already called from Kiev. By the time I was already slightly not in myself. Around only and conversations, what about what happened. Two died from our house - a girl and a boy ...

Scaret information about the tragedy was distorted, turned out to be converted. Sometimes people knew only that the plane fell on some kind of kindergarten. And fled in a panic to "his" kindergarten, where the child was taken in the morning.

Life after death...

The tragic case has long been in Svetlogorsk the topic number one. Then, as usual, the story has become little to be forgotten. And only the relatives of the dead will always remember May 16, 1972. Some have never managed to recover after that day. Someone opened, someone committed suicide ... Time, of course he treats. And yet it is worth talking to them about that tragedy, as tears appear in their eyes. On the morning of May 16, the relatives of the dead will gather in the chapel on Lenin Street. After serving, everyone will go to the cemetery.
