1996 gave the world a new mystery: the Kyshtym dwarf. The mystery, which is still unsolved, shocked numerous researchers, forcing them to put forward the most incredible assumptions.

The question of where the unusual creature came from can be answered by the story of a resident of the city of Kyshtym.

The appearance of Aleshenka

The summer night of August 1996 was remembered for a terrifying thunderstorm, hail and downpour. In the village of Kaolinovy, located near the city of Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk Region, lived Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina.

According to available evidence, the woman suffered from a mental illness, therefore she was registered at the local psycho-neurological dispensary.

Walking in the dark between the graves of strangers, she suddenly stopped next to the burial place of Ledovskaya Valentina.

In the ground between the trees in the grass was an earthen mound. It was there that Tamara Vasilievna discovered the creature.

Digging the ground with her hands, she saw that the little man had been buried upside down. The mysterious dwarf squealed, staring intently.

Without hesitation, the woman wrapped the found miracle in a scarf and took it home. She had no doubt it was a gift from above, found thanks to the voices.

Already at home, having unfolded the find, the woman decided to call him Alyoshenka Pretty. She fed, washed and swaddled like a baby. Since then, Tamara Vasilievna has settled in her mysterious baby.

What was the Kyshtym dwarf

Later, scientists called the find the Kyshtym dwarf. His external description was so unusual that it still amazes.

Aleshenka's height was about 20-25 cm according to various sources. The torso was very reminiscent of a human, as it had 2 legs and 2 arms, a head. Overall, he was like Small child, but with its own characteristics.

Firstly, the dwarf did not have a navel, which completely excluded the possibility of a human origin. Secondly, Aleshenka had absolutely no sexual characteristics. Photos taken after death and barbaric mummification testify to this.

According to witnesses who happened to see the little creature alive, his body was brown and gray-green in color, and the consistency of the fluid in the body was puzzling.

But the main, most important feature There was a skull consisting of 4 parts. It had a very odd shape.

Tower-shaped, helmet-shaped, conical - the descriptions vary. The pupils and iris of the eyes were absent, as were the eyelids. The eyes seemed to sink into the skull. The nose in its usual sense was also deformed: instead of it there was a skin fold. A thin gap replaced the mouth, and a full-fledged dentition was represented by only two front teeth. The ears were two small holes.

An interesting feature was the fact that the fingers on the hands had very long and sharp claws.

Solid food was not available to Alyoshenka, so he had to be fed something liquid.

According to Tamara Vasilievna, the first food he ate was condensed milk. After eating, the dwarf excreted liquid through the surface of the body, since he could not produce waste in the usual way due to the lack of appropriate organs.

unexpected death

Tamara Vasilievna lived with a Kyshtym dwarf in an ordinary apartment. Daily meals, drinking from a spoon - this is how Alyosha's life went.

The woman looked after her son with extreme reverence, indulged in sweets. The unusual creature obviously understood the woman's attitude and tried to respond with peculiar signals. It reacted to light, made whistling sounds, and occasionally lifted its miniature legs.

Alyoshenka could not walk, so he was always in a lying position, wrapped in a blanket.

People who saw the dwarf said that his gaze was deep and meaningful, but as if very sad.

Trying to make peculiar sounds, he folded his lips into a tube. It is possible that in this way Alyosha tried to express gratitude to the woman who anxiously looked after him.

As previously reported, Tamara Vasilievna suffered from schizophrenia. She was absolutely harmless, only in moments of exacerbation of the disease could she do strange things.

Neighbors who lived nearby got used to her, trying to take care and not offend. But when the woman told several people about her son Alyoshenka, of course, no one believed her.

Tamara Vasilievna loved the dwarf, took care of him and always felt special tenderness at mention of him.

After another story, one of the residents of the village decided that an exacerbation of the disease had begun, because the son Alyoshenka looked more like incoherent nonsense than the truth.

Tamara Vasilievna was hospitalized, placed for a while for examination in a psychiatric clinic.

The woman tried to convey to the doctors that the story about an unusual baby is true, and she needs to be at home, otherwise he will die. But again, they didn't believe her.

The doctors agreed that the story about the unknown son was nonsense caused by illness. Obviously, it was the absence of Tamara Vasilievna, who provided him with food and water, that caused his death. In total, the Kyshtym dwarf lived with her for about a month.

Further developments

After the death of Aleshenka, his story continued. There are several versions of what happened.

1. After Tamara Vasilievna was placed in the hospital, they tried to rob the apartment. The thief, seeing an unusual creature, killed him and cut out everything internal organs, and then hid the corpse in the freezer. Later investigative committee there he found it. However, it is completely unclear why this was done.
2. The daughter-in-law of Prosvirina decided to look into the apartment, to see if everything was in order. The woman knew about the dwarf, since Tamara Vasilyevna told her about him, and once even showed her. Entering the house, she realized that Alyoshenka was dead. The body began to rot, the larvae covered its surface, and a disgusting smell filled the apartment, which was more like the smell of tar than human. The daughter-in-law of Tamara Vasilievna at that time was with a friend and, at the same time, a tenant who decided to benefit from a poor deceased creature. Nurdinov, the man had such a surname, dried the alien dwarf in the sun, intending to sell it later. But this did not happen, as they managed to intervene in the matter law enforcement. Investigator V. Bendlin seized Alyosha's body.

The existing photographs were taken during this period and are authentic.

While in the hospital, Tamara Vasilievna was interrogated, and the testimony was recorded on videotape. At that moment, Aleshenka was dead.

The woman was inconsolable, crying and lamenting, because she warned the doctors. Of course, Tamara Vasilievna experienced the pain of loss: for her, the mysterious dwarf became dear.

In 1999, the women had another seizure. At night, she ran out of the house without clothes, driven again by voices. She was standing on the road at the moment when 2 cars appeared, squeezing her between each other.

Tamara Vasilievna died instantly. But here's what's interesting: later the cars were never found, they seemed to have evaporated. The mysterious death of an elderly woman still raises a lot of questions.

Is the Kyshtym dwarf real?

The discovery of an alien creature aroused wide interest, so the investigation was carried out on a large scale.

The first stage was the study of the pathologist and gynecologist.

The conclusions were clear: the creature was not a human embryo. And the most interesting thing is that the proportions of Alyosha's body were characteristic of an adult individual.

The explanation is simple: in children, the head always exceeds the size in relation to the body. The absence of a navel spoke of an alien origin.

But for detailed answers, DNA analysis was required, which was not possible due to lack of funds.

The unusual shape of the head could be caused by a mutation or underdevelopment. It is possible that the deformation was made on purpose in order to give wide publicity to an unusual creature.

Specific female organs or the signs may not have been formed or eliminated through improper mummification in the sun.

• alien creature. Also, one of the versions is the assumption of an alien origin, although not supported by anything.

Investigation of psychics

In one of the seasons, it was decided to conduct an experiment, during which psychics had to describe the photo, standing with their backs to the screen.

Video footage taken at the time of the investigation showed the mummy of Alyosha. But, despite all efforts, the issue remained unresolved, because the assumptions diverged.

Some believed that he was a sick child, and someone was sure that this was a mutation of a human embryo.
But the strongest participants in the program, Tatyana Larina and Julia Wang, put forward the most significant versions.

Tatyana said that the footage captured something mystical and otherworldly. After watching the film, she was sure that Alyosha was an alien left by his parents on our planet.

Julia said that a dwarf is a type of life form that has nothing to do with the human species or any animals. This creature came to us through a special portal. According to Julia, Alyosha had no soul, and his appearance- these are injuries received during the transition through the worlds.

According to psychics, the Kyshtym find is not the only one of its kind. Other countries also found something similar.

Unusual facts

Strangely, Wang was right in her statement. People like Alyosha were found in other places.

Alyoshenka from Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico: 20 years ago, a young man walking near the mountains noticed several tiny creatures. Their growth did not exceed 30 cm.

Noticing the man, the creatures tried to talk to him, but the guy got scared and killed one of them with a blow from a club. The rest of the individuals hurried to hide in the bushes nearby.

After the shock and surprise wore off, the young man realized that he had killed an alien creature.

Then, turning to the professor for research, the young man gave him the right to dispose of the find.

But the story does not end there, as the life of a young man has changed dramatically after this incident.

He seemed to be going crazy: it seemed to him that he was being watched and peeped through the windows; he could not sleep at night because he was tormented by nightmares.

conclusions

The story of the Kyshtym dwarf spread all over the world. Everyone considered it necessary to speak out about the veracity of history. But no matter how many opinions there are, the authenticity of the find is confirmed and recorded: video clips, photographs and witnesses.

For many years people have been discussing the topic “Who was the Kyshtym Alyosha?”. A creature from another planet or just a clever fake? It's time to find out the truth about the true origin of this mysterious find.

Detection

The world learned about the existence of the Kyshtym dwarf Aleshenka thanks to the investigator Evgeny Mokichev. Investigating the theft of a copper wire, he contacted the suspect and summoned Vladimir Nurtdinov for questioning. After a long conversation, a local resident told the investigator that the body of a real alien was kept in his garage. Mokichev could not believe in such a wild story, but nevertheless turned to his superiors with a request to verify this fact. Having received permission, he went to the indicated place and saw this mysterious stranger with his own eyes.

Nurtdinov said that in order to preserve the creature, he had to remove all the insides from the body and dry it to the state of a mummy. The man did not hide the fact that he simply stole the Kyshtym Alyosha from the house of his neighbor, an elderly woman with a mental disorder. The investigator took the incredible find with him to show to professional experts. At that moment, he no longer doubted that the dwarf was of extraterrestrial origin. It looked too unusual and had a specific smell. An experienced policeman knew how the mummified human body smells.

Appearance of the Kyshtym Alyosha

The mummy of the dwarf was like a small mutilated calf with a disproportionate big head. It is worth noting that the skull itself had only 4 plates, and not 6, as in a normal person. Outwardly, he resembled a premature baby, but the pathologist Samoshkin immediately rejected this version. First, the creature had strong bones, not cartilage like embryos. Second, he had a full set of teeth. There was no navel on the body, which indicated that he was not born of a woman. The expert did not find any hint of the genitals and organs of secretions. It seems that Kyshtym Alyosha excreted all waste products through the skin. The dwarf's head resembled an onion and was crushed.

Who and when found the Kyshtym dwarf?

Pensioner Tamara Prosvirina in the late May evening began to experience a feeling of anxiety and a desire to go outside. An unknown call pulled her by the gate, into the forest. There she saw a creature that lay on the ground and made mournful sounds. The woman picked it up and took it to her home. She gave him a name in honor of her recently deceased grandson - Aleshenka.

Caring Tamara went with the find to the hospital to find out why this baby looks so strange. In the clinic, she was shown to the door and complained that doctors had nothing to treat people, and she brought them an alien for examination. Sounds a little crazy, but don't forget that this was 1996. The restless woman went to the police, but even there they gave her a turn from the gate. No one was interested in a strange-looking baby in diapers.

New house

The pensioner returned home and began to care for the creature as if it were a child. She fed him food from her table and later claimed that the alien was very fond of chewing toffee. He could not speak, but he whistled to express his emotions or needs. Mucus, which Alyoshenka secreted through the pores of the skin, she wiped with a wet cloth. The new tenant lived in the house for a little over two weeks.

The woman went out with him for a walk more than once and showed her neighbors this strange humanoid. People were horrified, but looked at the funny stranger with interest. In one of the conversations with her neighbors, she mentioned that she wanted to register Alyosha in the apartment. This rumor quickly reached the ears of the direct heirs, and they hurried to fix this problem. The orderlies took the woman to a psychiatric hospital, and after some time the alien died at the hands of local alcoholics. They crushed his head. After Tamara was taken to the hospital, unreliable personalities filled her house. They did not like the strange neighbor, and they simply killed him. Then Nurtdinov found him.

Further developments

After it was established that the creature does not belong to the human race, the criminal case on his murder was closed. The Kyshtym dwarf Alyoshenka himself was taken home by the investigator and placed in a freezer. However, the wife began to resent the fact that there was a corpse in her refrigerator, and the man had to give the body to muddy personalities who introduced themselves as researchers of paranormal beings.

A few years later, the woman found out how many thousands of dollars foreigners were offering for a dwarf, and she was very sorry about her behavior. The further fate of the alien is shrouded in darkness. It was not possible to find those people, and one can only guess where the Kyshtym dwarf Alyosha is now. The mystery of its origin is still of interest to millions of people.

Research

Thanks to the video filming, which was conducted by the investigator, the story received a lot of publicity on the Internet. People began to wonder where the Kyshtym dwarf had gone and who he really was. The pieces of cloth on which Alyoshenka lay were subjected to multiple examinations, and all researchers came to ambiguous conclusions. According to some, it turned out that the creature was a premature baby with numerous developmental disabilities, female. Others have argued that this real alien and no resemblance to human DNA has been found. Perhaps in the future there will be technologies that can most likely establish the origin of the dwarf. At the moment, this is one of the most mysterious mysteries in history, and interest in it will not fade for many years to come.

Not established with complete certainty (and probably never will be). Proof of the viability of the artifact for a long time according to eyewitnesses - about 1 month, as well as some of its physiological characteristics (eye color, pupil shape, etc.) with complete certainty is impossible, since this was not provided in time with appropriate means of objective control (photo and video recording in a live state). Therefore, the inconsistent and contradictory testimonies of eyewitnesses suffering from diseases such as schizophrenia and severe forms of alcoholism about his appearance “during his life”, behavior, biological reactions to external stimuli (nutrition, etc.) cannot be taken as a reliable source of data.

The factual side of the case is that an unusual biological artifact (at least a poorly preserved unusual corpse) once really existed. This is confirmed by such means of objective control as photo and video recording.

The mythical side of the case is the fouling of the fact of finding a biological object with all sorts of supernatural, mystical and fantastic fictions that are not subject to verification in the style of modern myth-making: “an unusual creature means a humanoid of extraterrestrial origin»

The legend can be roughly divided into two more or less related parts:

• the legend about the discovery by the grandmother "by voice from above" of a living "supernatural being", who lived in her apartment for about a month;
• the legend of finding the mummy of a "supernatural being", unofficial attempts to study it and its subsequent disappearance.

Discovery of a "supernatural being" A strange half-dead creature was discovered in the village of Kaolinovy ​​near Kyshtym by a lonely pensioner Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina around May 1996. According to some reports, the creature was discovered by her in a cemetery during a thunderstorm, according to others - in a forest belt near a local school. The pensioner took him to her home. The creature ate human food and looked and smelled strange. The body length of the creature was approximately 30 cm, it had a torso, arms, legs, a head with a high frontal lobe, a mouth and eyes. The pensioner gave the creature a baby name ("Alyoshenka"). Alyoshenka was also seen by other people: the daughter-in-law of Tamara Prosvirina, as well as some acquaintances who suffer from alcoholism. In turn, their descriptions of the artifact differ significantly. Subsequently, Tamara Prosvirina was placed in a psychiatric hospital due to an exacerbation of schizophrenia. In the end, the creature dies, and the causes of death are not finally established, among them death from improper feeding and lack of care, or murder under unclear circumstances, is most often indicated. Tamara Prosvirina died on August 5 under strange circumstances: she was hit by two cars at night. It is noteworthy that it was at this time that representatives of a Japanese television company were going to interview her, who were filming a documentary about this phenomenon. Discovery of the mummy of a "supernatural being" The mummy of the creature was discovered in August 1996 by police captain Yevgeny Mokichev during his investigation of the theft of an electric cable. The policeman who discovered the mummy handed it over to his colleague, Vladimir Bendlin, who began his own investigation into the origin and nature of the creature. It was during this investigation that four main versions of the origin of the creature were put forward. For reliable confirmation of any of these versions, a DNA examination was required, but subsequently the mummy of the creature disappeared under strange circumstances: it was seized from Bendlin by representatives of an organization dealing with problems of ufology, allegedly for further research. Her whereabouts are currently unknown. Hypotheses of the origin of the biological artifact that formed the basis of the legend Version 1. An animal unknown to science This version was originally put forward, but it was almost immediately refuted: the frontal lobe of the creature's head was too large, which indicated that the level of brain development was too high for an animal. Version 2. Premature mutant baby Version 4. Alien The hypothesis of an extraterrestrial origin of the artifact is the least likely, since absolutely not a single intelligible evidence has been provided to judge its entry (“coming”) to Earth from outer space. In all versions of the legend of the living dwarf, he appears as a half-dead, pitiful, naked creature. Despite the fact that legends about aliens tend to grow into fantasies about space flights (UFOs, "saucers", etc.), humanoids in unusual spacesuits, etc., in this case, on the "technical justification" for the coming of "Alyoshenka" from there is no space and a shadow of a hint. In addition to the creature, not a single additional artifact of an artificial (anthropogenic) nature was provided, which could indicate its connection with "unknown" high technologies of extraterrestrial origin. With a scientific approach to the study of the phenomenon, based on facts, rational logic and evidence, the version of the extraterrestrial origin of "Alyoshenka" is essentially implausible and does not hold water. Insufficient qualifications of the medical staff who conducted the study of a poorly preserved artifact in subtle and highly specialized issues of embryology and genetics could lead to unfounded conclusions, according to which a number of people made claims that the creature found was not a person (did not belong to the biological species Homo Sapiens). This circumstance was fertile ground for the case to be overgrown with fiction and its transformation into a fantastic legend about

Kyshtym dwarf ha mysterious creature found in the Urals - a mutant or an alien?

Another sensation flares up in the world of ufology. Some sensationally avid media managed to trumpet: the mummy of an unknown creature was discovered in the Urals, But amazing find leaving the country soon as the enterprising Japanese broadcaster Asahi-TV buys her for $200,000.

ϖϖϖϖϖϖϖ

Kyshtym dwarf was he?

The press even heard the statements of the customs officers, they say, we will not give up our humanoid, we will not let him out of the Motherland. What is really behind this? Does an alien exist? Are the Japanese really going to buy alien relics?

How did it appear Kyshtym dwarf?

Local resident Tamara Nikolaevna Prosvirina was walking through the forest and found a strange creature.

It was a creepy find - either a human baby, or an unknown little animal: the head is a pointed pumpkin, instead of lips - a lye, the body is covered with fur, sharp claws on the fingers ...

Creature This squeaked plaintively, and the compassionate old woman decided to take him with her - she wrapped him up, brought him home, fed him and called Aleshenka.

Further, in the plot of this already strange story, they begin at all phantasmagoric turns. The cheerful grandmother began to brag to her neighbors that she had a son in her old age.

But since Prosvirina was registered with a psychiatrist, the neighbors, without further ado, informed the doctors about her strange behavior.

They also did not understand for a long time, they arrived, gave a sedative injection and took me to the hospital.

And in vain the old woman cried, asked to be left at home. No one listened to her, and left unattended the alien is dead.

- How do you know it was an alien? Maybe an unscrupulous mother secretly gave birth to a baby and threw it into the forest.

In addition to the physical abnormalities recorded in this creature, there is one more circumstance:

Tamara Prosvirina described in detail the place where she found Alyoshenka. There, according to the testimony of other eyewitnesses, UFOs often appear.

UFO tracks

And according to the same Prosvirina , shortly before she made her find, she saw over the forest bright flash.

We found this place and found burnt marks on the ground and trees ... But let's get back to the chronology of what is happening.

After Prosvirina was taken to the hospital, her neighbor appears on the stage - someone Vladimir Nurtdinov.

Smelling a strange unpleasant smell in the old woman's room (not cadaverous, but some kind of "plastic"), he found the body in a cardboard box and decided to dry it in the sun on the roof of the garage.

According to him, for sale- this creature looked very unusual, suddenly some lover of unusual things will buy it ...

Himself Nurtdinov moonlighted by handing over non-ferrous metal found in landfills, on which, in fact, he was caught.

And, trying to somehow appease the police, he told the detectives about mummies of Aleshenka.

Kyshtym dwarf Aleshenka in the police

Police officers, of course, could not but react to such information. The mummy was confiscated, an operational video was made (the duration of the plot is about 30 minutes) ...

But in the end, no criminal case was initiated. The pathologist of the local morgue, Stanislav Samoshkin, who examined the little body, said that it could not be human.

About 20 differences were recorded in the protocol

There is no navel

no nipples,

no sex organs

the skull is made up of four horn petals,

big eyes (like artists caricature aliens) with vertical animal pupils...

Evidence of its viability for a long time, its anatomical and physiological characteristics, behavior, biological reactions to external stimuli cannot be established with complete certainty, since all of them are based solely on the testimony of eyewitnesses who saw him "during life"

Then, for the first time, the version about the “alien” was officially announced.

Many eyewitnesses with whom we met insisted on the extraterrestrial origin of Aleshenka.

So, the investigator of the Kyshtym GUVD Evgeny Mokichev, who held in his hands the mummy of an unknown creature, told us that, in his opinion, this “It’s like some kind of alien, but not an earthly beast or a human cub.”

Version Kyshtym dwarf alien

Considers Alyoshenka an alien and Galina Artemyevna Alferova (relative of Tamara Prosvirina)- one of the few who saw this creature still alive.

She told us a curious detail, in her opinion, testifying to the "inhuman" origin of the creature: "Kyshtym dwarf" there was no anus.

And, usually dry and fluffy, after eating it became covered with mucus, as if waste products were excreted through the skin.

Since there was no corpus delicti in the strange find, over time, the police officers lost Aleshenka every interest.

True, not all. Senior investigator Vladimir Bendlin nevertheless showed curiosity and understanding that "Kyshtym dwarf" may be of scientific value.

He did not throw away the mummy, but took it to his home for safekeeping. I must say that he got a lot for this.

Relations with wife strained- she was getting on her nerves with the fact that an unknown horror is stored in the apartment. And then there's the local team of kaveenshchikov made Bendlin and his newcomer the object of ridicule.

Ufologists have arrived...

At that moment, a team appeared in Kyshtym, calling themselves ufologists. They visited Bendlin, examined Aleshenka and they said that the find should be taken to Moscow for a more thorough study.

And the investigator with a light heart handed over the mummy: let someone have nothing to do. But the Kyshtym humanoid never made it to the capital.

As an explanation, an absolutely incredible legend was launched - the mummy of an alien was stolen by other aliens.

Allegedly, when she was being transported in a car, at the 78th kilometer not far from the well-known in those places Tyubuk distillery, an unidentified flying object hovered over the hood and an unknown voice ordered to open the trunk, where there was a cardboard box with the body Aleshenka.

frightened "ufologists" carried out the order. Then the UFO, with the help of a bright beam, pulled the box into itself and soared into the sky ...

Kyshtym dwarf disappeared

Naturally, few people believed such a story. But anyway, the mummy disappeared. Journalists, researchers were looking for her ...

The Kyshtym dwarf Aleshenka, also known as the Kyshtym humanoid, appeared in 1996 under mysterious circumstances and just as suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Over time, interest in this story does not decrease, rather, it even intensifies. The remains of the “alien creature” are being sought by researchers and journalists. Only in Kyshtym itself they don’t really like to remember him - his appearance brought too much noise and trouble.

It all started with the fact that in August 1996, a pensioner Tamara Prosvirina, who lived in the city of Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk Region, found and brought home a certain living creature that vaguely resembles a person in appearance, only it, apparently, was not a person.

FOUNDLING

It must be said right away that Tamara Vasilyevna was not entirely mentally healthy and was registered in a psychiatric dispensary. Often she was engaged in picking flowers at the cemetery. But this time she went to the cemetery at night not of her own free will, but allegedly having received a telepathic order. It would seem that the voice in her head can be attributed to the unhealthy psyche of a woman, but the strange thing is that she found the one who called her. From behind one grave mound, an unknown creature with huge eyes was looking at her. The head of the foundling was similar in shape to an onion or a helmet, there were no lips, only a mouth opening. The small body was covered with fur, and instead of nails, sharp claws. The creature made sounds like a squeak. The old woman took pity on the baby, wrapped it in a rag, brought it home and called it Alyoshenka.

Everyone who happened to see the “baby” said that this “baby”, only 25 cm tall, had no umbilical cord, no genitals, no excretory organs. On the hands and feet, five fingers, like a person. Only the hands closely resembled the soles of the feet. Apparently, the creature could move both on two and on four limbs. It seems that it could pass, crawl through where it was beyond the power of man and animal. From time to time, his gray skin was covered with perspiration, which had a sweetish smell. Most likely, this was the selection system. But most of all, the eyewitnesses were struck by the head of a humanoid: the complete absence of a neck and auricles, a small nose, huge eyes, devoid of eyelids, a reasonable look. The creature's mouth could stretch to the ears when it began to make sounds similar to the whistle of a gopher. On the head, unlike the body, there was no hairline and fontanel, familiar to babies. Already after his death, it was established that the skull consisted of four bone plates, separated in the middle by a kind of keel. As for proportions, the brain section was much superior to the front.

Prosvirina was not completely alone. Her daughter-in-law, Tamara Alferova, looked after her - she cooked, cleaned. And when she left for a shift, Galina Alferova, Tamara's mother, looked after her grandmother. With Galina, her tenant Vladimir Nurdinov often came to Prosvirina. All these people saw Alyoshenka alive. And, of course, a few more neighbors. They all described his appearance in roughly the same way. Here is the testimony of Tamara Alferova: “It did not look like a child at all. It emitted a quiet whistle. When the mouth opened, two small teeth were visible. The head was brown and the body was dark grey. The eyes are large, the look meaningful, the eyelids were absent. The pupils constantly dilated and constricted. The navel and genitals were absent. The fingers and toes were quite long. His mother-in-law fed cottage cheese cheese. His being sucked and swallowed. lower jaw there was no, just some kind of skin. They fed him with a spoon. The tongue was long and bright red.

NOT SAVE

For about a month Alyoshenka lived at the old woman's house. Apparently, for some reason, he was very weakened. I couldn't eat or walk on my own. The pensioner fed him cottage cheese and watered him from a spoon. It cannot be said that he was completely indifferent. He reacted to the appearance of people, and indeed to any movement, by whistling. None of those who saw him took him for a person, rather, they treated him like a kitten. Grandmother could not get enough of the "baby". She walked down the street and told everyone that she had a son, to whom she would give her last name and registration in her apartment. The surrounding people took this as a relapse of her illness and called the orderlies. They came, gave an injection and took me to a psychiatric dispensary. Prosvirina resisted, cried, said that she had a baby at home. But no one wanted to listen to the half-witted old woman.

A week later, Galina Alferova, having learned that her grandmother was in the hospital, came with Nurdinov to check her apartment. Upon entering the room, they smelled a strange smell. Alyoshenka was dead. He probably just died of starvation. However, the smell from the dead body was not like a corpse, it was more like the smell of synthetic resins. Maybe that's why Nurdinov suggested that Aleshenka is a creature from another planet. And quickly realizing that you can get good money for it, he took the corpse with him. Then I dried it in the sun, just laying it on the roof of the garage. And, according to him, literally in three hours Alyoshenka dried up properly, turning into a mummy. In this case, the body was subjected to severe deformation.

Two weeks later, Nurdinov, who was drinking, was arrested for stealing a cable. The case was led by investigator E. Mo-kichev, who understood that the price of the stolen was a bottle of vodka. At that time, there was almost no work in the city, and the only thing left for the population was to drag from the destroyed industries and mines what was badly lying. Mokichev promised the person under investigation to mitigate the punishment. Perhaps this touched Nurdinov so much that he suggested that the investigator go to his parents and show his "treasure" - a dead alien. Mokichev reacted with interest to the proposal. Indeed, upon entering the room, Nurdinov took out a mummy wrapped in a rag from the closet. “What I saw amazed me. For a long time I could not figure out what it was, there was some kind of confusion. In front of me lay the mummified corpse of a small humanoid creature, about 25 cm long. It is very difficult to unambiguously assess what lay in front of me, because his head was of an unusual shape - helmet-shaped, consisting of four petals, which were connected upwards into one plate and formed, as it were, a comb. His eye sockets were large. Two small, barely visible teeth could be distinguished on the front jaw. The forelimbs were crossed on the chest, and, judging by them, they were the same length as the lower ones. The corpse was in a dried, wrinkled state, it had many folds of the skin. Not a strong but unpleasant smell emanated from the remains; what exactly it smelled like, it’s hard to say.”

Returning to the department, Mokichev told his colleagues about what he had seen. He was ridiculed, and only Major Vladimir Bendlin took his story seriously.

MAJOR BENDLIN'S INVESTIGATION

The next day, Bendlin went to Nurdinov's parents, taking with him a camera, a video camera and a voice recorder. Almost everything that is now known about the Kyshtym dwarf, we owe to the caring major. Bendlin seized the mummy and, returning to the department, asked to register the find, but he was refused. At the same time, it was hinted that it would be nice to do business, and not chase mythical humanoids. Therefore, the major conducted the investigation in his spare time.

It wasn't just curiosity. The major did not reject the possibility that the mummy is the corpse of a premature baby, which means that there are grounds for initiating a criminal case: “I believe that such information should be seriously checked, because there are a lot of rumors. Here, human deformity is possible to a large extent, and some kind of mutations related to ecology, or this is a really phenomenal case of the viability of a human embryo, or a criminal miscarriage. Definitely this story required research.

Bendlin decided to turn to specialists. Pathologist S. Samoshkin immediately said that these were not human remains, judging by the structure of the skeleton and skull. But he could not answer the question of what it was, since he had never seen anything like it. Genetic expertise was required, but its cost is too high. And for an official analysis, it was necessary to initiate a criminal case.

The investigation came to a standstill. And then someone advised the major to apply to the "Star Academy of UFO-contact according to the Zolotov method", located in Kamensk-Uralsky. Ufologists from the academy arrived almost immediately. After examining the mummy, they said that they needed to take Alyoshenka with them to conduct an appropriate study. However, even two weeks later there was not a word or a word from them. When Bendlin called the ufologists himself, they replied that the mummy was a normal human miscarriage.

That would have been the end of it, but the story suddenly took an almost detective turn. Information about the strange find was leaked to the media, a hype arose. After some time, Japanese television TV Tokio became interested in Alyoshenka. The Japanese film crew managed to find out that the Star Academy transferred the mummy for research to one research institute, far from biology and anatomy. But the results of the study are being kept under wraps.

A month later, a Japanese translator called Bendlin and said that their specialists wanted to meet with the main character of the story, Prosvirina. The old woman was interested in the Japanese, as she had been communicating with a humanoid for a long time, so they wanted to examine her. We discussed the date, time and place of the meeting. When half an hour was left before the meeting, the major, while at work, learned about the accident in which Prosvirina died. It is strange that the woman was in one dressing gown and barefoot. It is also strange that on a deserted road, along which only a few cars pass a day, at that moment two oncoming cars appeared at once, and Prosvirina turned out to be between them. The car that hit her has never been found.

As for Alyoshenka, he disappeared forever. Where the mummy ended up after the research institute, what happened to her - no one knows.

INVESTIGATION LEADS BY VADIM CHERNOBROV

A group of enthusiasts from the Kosmopoisk association, headed by its coordinator Vadim Chernobrov, began a detailed study of this story. Vadim believes that Tamara Prosvirina was not crazy. It's just that the troubles that she had to endure taught her to be sensitive to other people's misfortunes. Her only son was in prison, her grandson Alyosha died. The woman had almost no relatives. And the fact that she went to the cemetery at night is an invention of a journalist. And, according to Tamara herself, she found a strange creature in the forest, and not in the cemetery. In addition, the woman acted like any other sane person. She turned to the doctors for help, but they only brushed it aside: “We don’t treat aliens and are not obliged to treat them! Contact the vet or the police." So Prosvirina began to help Alyoshenka to the best of her ability, since she did not have money to apply to the Academy of Science. She decided this: if no one needs him, let him be her “son”, and named him after her deceased grandson. Only now she had the imprudence to tell the neighbors that she was going to register him in her apartment. Perhaps this was the impetus for further events. The heirs became worried and hurried to put the woman in a mental hospital. Well, then, most likely, Prosvirina was so pumped up with drugs that she actually became out of her mind. Imagine for some reason a shaved woman with an unpleasant facial expression. “By the way, those who caught the dwarf alive noted that the facial expressions of Tamara Prosvirina, her manner of moving her tongue in this video extremely reminiscent of Aleshenka’s grimaces. It looks like she was unconsciously copying this creature."

Chernobrov is sure that Alyoshenka did not die of starvation, but was killed. Intentionally or not, it doesn't matter. Perhaps the empty apartment has become a gathering place for local drunks. One of them confessed to Vadim that he killed the dwarf. Chernobrov, having carefully examined the piece of cloth in which Alyoshenka was wrapped, suggested that his head had been crushed: “Checking my assumption, I repeatedly analyzed the video recording of the post-mortem examination of the dwarf’s body. Due to the unusual shape of the skull, it is difficult to notice that something is wrong with it. I saw the damage because I knew it was a violent death. The record clearly shows - the head, consisting of four plates, is crushed like a nut. Two plates are compressed and displaced. The killer simply did not notice the creature and plopped down in a drunken stupor on the sofa where Alyoshenka was lying.

During the investigation, new details emerged. According to Vadim, the “ufologists” who seized the mummy from Bendlin told a Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist that they allegedly did not take the dwarf to Kamensk-Uralsky. Near the sign "Kilometer 78" in front of their car, a UFO descended from the sky, and several dwarfs who came out from there took the body of their comrade. But! Chernobrov: “I decided to simply check the facts; go to the specified "scene". I drove the entire route and made sure that the sign “78th kilometer” does not exist, however, as well as the 78th kilometer itself.”

Vadim assures that the mummy is still with the mastermind of that same Kamensk-Ural society. The Japanese tried to ransom her from him, offering quite a large sum, but the negotiations reached an impasse, as she did not suit the owner. And the Japanese broadcaster couldn't afford a more expensive purchase.

But Chernobrov was still lucky. In his hands was a piece of cloth on which the Kyshtym dwarf lay and died. The researcher managed to conduct an examination. Here is what the report says: “The sample does contain highly fragmented DNA from an unknown creature, which differs from human DNA by about twice the size of the chains. But what kind of creature it is, it is impossible to say. After all, it can be precisely determined only in comparison with an already known sample, but there is no sample and cannot be. Only one thing is clear: this is not a person.

And in conclusion, I would like to quote the words of Vadim Chernobrov, which are worth thinking about: “I consider this case as a “learning contact”. Everyone who saw the Kyshtym dwarf alive and dead was sure that he was an alien. And how did people react to his arrival? He met on his way alcoholics, soulless officials, thieves and other wrong side of our lives. None of what is shown in the films - the immediate arrival of the secret services or the solemn meeting of the alien with the red carpet and crowds of journalists - none of this happened. Was Alyoshenka an alien or not - we do not know. But the fact that we are not yet ready to meet the extraterrestrial is quite obvious.”
