The main mysteries of the Crimea. Crimea. Mysteries of Civilization. Secrets of Crimea

Crimea has always been a cauldron of peoples, where the fate of peoples and entire states was decided. The ancient and modern history of the peninsula holds many mysteries, some of which we have yet to unravel.

Origin of Crimea

The first mystery of the history of Crimea is the very formation of the peninsula. In 1996, American geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman from Columbia University formulated the theory of the so-called "Black Sea flood". According to it, until the sixth millennium BC, Crimea was not a peninsula, but was a fragment of a larger landmass, which included the territory of the modern Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov.

Around 5500 BC, as a result of an earthquake and a shift in the lithospheric plates, there was a breakthrough of water from the Mediterranean Sea, the Bosphorus Strait was formed, the level of the Black Sea rose by 140 meters, its volume increased by one and a half times.

There is a version that it was this event that served as the basis for the myth of the Flood that exists in many cultures. Some historians also connect Plato's story of Atlantis with the flooding of the Black Sea.

The Ryan-Pitman theory has been criticized, but at the moment it has not been refuted. Having explored the Black Sea coast in 2000, having carried out a radiocarbon analysis of mollusks and changes in sedimentary rocks in the reservoir, the famous marinologist Ballard came to the conclusion that even 7500 thousand years ago the Black Sea was absolutely fresh, which indirectly confirms the theory of the expansion of the Black Sea as a Flood .

Where did the Crimean Goths disappear to?

Since ancient times, Crimea has been a real ethnic cauldron in which tribes, peoples and even entire states have been melted down. Crimea has survived the Cimmerian period, the Scythian period, the Greek period, the Gothic period, the period of the invasion of the Mongol-Tatars, the period of Genoese rule.

For a long time the Goths ruled in the Crimea. The stronghold of the Crimean Gothia was the Doros fortress, after the conquest by the Khazars and until our times called Mangup-Kale - a huge cave city, which is still tourist mecca Crimea.

The isolated mountain plateau was supplied with drinking water from mountain springs, and therefore was a unique, half artificial and half natural fortification.

In 1475 the Ottomans defeated the Goths. The Turks took Kafa (the fortress is currently preserved), laid siege to Mangup. The region falls into decay, being on the outskirts of Turkish lands, and the Gothic princely family was preserved in the boyar family of the Golovins - Gothic emigrant princes who lived in Moscow.

Where did the Crimean Goths themselves disappear to? The question is not idle. At the end of the 16th century, the envoy of the Austrian Emperor Ferdinand, Baron Ogier Ghislain de Busbecq, mentioned in his letter that once during a diplomatic mission in the Ottoman Empire, he met a man in Istanbul who claimed that he was a Crimean Goth. He forgot his native language, but his companion, a Greek, allegedly spoke the Crimean-Gothic language, and after a brief conversation, Busbek compiled a small Crimean-Gothic dictionary, which is the only written monument of this language, similar to the Gothic of Wulfila's time.

In the 18th-19th centuries, among the Crimean Tatars, ethnographers discovered atypical-looking people, remotely resembling the Crimean Goths in anthropological terms, as a result of which the theory is born that the Goths continue to exist on the territory of Crimea. Nazi scientists are clinging to this theory, planning to annex the Crimea to the Reich and create “Gotenland” there, that is, the land is ready.

Megaliths of Crimea

The most mysterious ancient structures of the Crimea are megaliths. On the peninsula they are represented by menhirs - vertical stone pillars, dolmens - stone crypts of five slabs and cromlechs - circles of stones, which most likely have a connection with the solar cults of the ancient peoples who inhabited the peninsula.

The most famous menhir of Crimea is the Bakhchisaray menhir. Interest in it grew after Alexander Lagutin, an engineer of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, suggested at the end of the last century that the Bakhchisarai menhir was built as an astronomical observatory. Lagutin conducted observations for several years, determining the relationship of the menhir with solar cycles, and came to the conclusion that the orientation of the menhir was carried out on the basis of the vernal equinox.
It is not possible to establish the exact age of the menhir. Most likely, it dates back to the time of the Taurian rule of the Crimea.

Secret submarine base

Crimea has a truly heroic military history. And if a lot has been written about wars and battles on the territory of the peninsula, then for a long time the general public was not aware of one strategic object on the territory of Crimea. We are talking about a secret submarine base in Balaklava, also called "object 825 GTS".

This base was built after the war on the personal instructions of Stalin. Initially, the project was supervised by Lavrenty Beria.

The construction of the facility was carried out by a specially created construction department No. 528. The base was built for 8 years, from 1953 to 1961, during which time about 120 tons of rock were removed. To ensure secrecy, the export was carried out at night on barges to the open sea. First, the object was built by the military, then by the metro builders.

Object 825 GTS was erected as a construction of anti-nuclear protection of the first category (protection against a direct hit by an atomic bomb with a power of 100 kt). There was an underground water channel with a dry dock, workshops for repairs, fuel depots, a mine and torpedo section.

The secret submarine base was designed to shelter, repair and maintain submarines of the 613th and 633rd projects and store ammunition for these submarines. The channel (length 602 meters) of the facility could accommodate 7 submarines of these projects.

Why was Crimea handed over to Ukraine?

The main geopolitical mystery of the history of Crimea remains the question of its transfer to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954. Scientists are still arguing about the reasons for this historic decision. According to one version, in this way the USSR avoided the transfer of Crimea to the Jewish Republic on the basis of "credit history" with American bankers (Joint organization).

According to another version, it was a gift to Ukraine in honor of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Pereyaslav Rada. Unfavorable conditions for farming in steppe regions peninsulas and territorial proximity of Crimea to Ukraine. Many people support the version according to which the “Ukrainization” of Crimea was supposed to contribute to the restoration of the destroyed national economy.

The Crimean peninsula is located on the territory of Russia. Once it was considered an all-Union health resort and a large number of tourists and vacationers visited this peninsula, but few of them knew about the anomalous places of this peninsula. Mystical places can be found in many corners of this amazing peninsula. This is Cape Meganom, the valley of "Ghosts" - Dimerdzhi, Cape Aya, "Bear Mountain" - Ayu-Dag, "Crimean Alantida" - New World, dormant volcano Kara-Dag, Crimean stonehenge, numerous gorges and caves. This list can be continued indefinitely. But let's look at some of the more interesting ones.

pathogenic places of the Crimea

There are already quite a few stories that sometimes people become witnesses of something unusual, unearthly, something that cannot be explained by acquired life experience and knowledge. This is how legends about UFOs, spirits and ghosts appear. There are separate places in the world where such cases occur especially often, they are considered to be places of power, anomalous zones. There are such anomalous zones directly and in the Crimea. new trend modern tourism anomalous tourism has become - a journey to places with energy activity, old abandoned houses and castles. It has been proven that in such places a person can feel differently, can overflow with energy or, on the contrary, feel a breakdown and irritability. There is a whole list of places where most accidents occur or people go missing. Are you ready to go on such a journey and tickle your nerves? If so, then our list of anomalous places in Crimea is for you.

The mystery of "cold lightning"

In winter, the cave city of Mangup is especially attractive. The remains of walls, steps and graves carved in stone - everything reminds of the people who lived in these dungeons until the middle of the 15th century. A couple of years ago, a real Tibetan lama wandered into the ancient city with his students, who assured that he had never heard of Mangup, but simply went to a powerful energy source.

Boris Svidlov, a former naval officer and now a green tourism enthusiast, lives in the vicinity of Mangup and says that he will not leave here. He often roams the cave city, arranging tours for his guests.

I was told more than once, and I myself observed a phenomenon that someone dubbed “cold lightning,” says Boris Ivanovich. - Outwardly, this manifests itself as a luminous spherical object of a pale neon color with a distinct internal structure. Balls appear and hang in the air at a height of up to one and a half meters. I tried to contact them, but they did not react and did not hang in the air for a long time - from 3 to 15 minutes. Then they just disappeared. Balls do neither good nor bad for a person.

Moscow tourists tried to study in detail the phenomenon of "cold lightning". It turned out that the balls are equally indifferent to both sleeping bags and canned food laid out from backpacks. They are not afraid of crosses, or gravestones, or prayers, or spitting over their shoulders. But they are clearly not indifferent to people, especially at moments when they are overwhelmed by some kind of emotion: delight, joy, fear ...

Asking friends, Boris Svidlov found out that "cold lightning" was seen in many places in the Crimea.

The conclusion can be drawn as follows: they feed on emotions, sums up Svidlov. It's like fish food for them. But one person is still not enough, so the larger the company, the more emotional it is, the more attractive it is for "cold lightning".


Gray-haired and wise Chatyr-Dag
Chatyr-Dag is a mountain of volcanic origin of a very respectable age. Perhaps it is the most ancient volcano in the Crimea and since its formation has become almost half as low. Wind, water erosion, earthquakes have done their job. His entire body is literally permeated through with cave labyrinths. Therefore, UFOs are rarely seen here. What else can they take from the "old man"? And there are many people. The beauty is extraordinary. Caves attract speleologists. Yes, the spirits of the caves are very capricious and wayward, they require a special approach, they do not tolerate frivolous behavior. The thicker and higher the yews, the more fertile the places.
It is good to be in a yew grove with pulmonary and bronchial diseases, and it is always useful for a healthy person to breathe in healing air. The water in the springs is also healing, and special medicinal herbs - they give the body strength, and make the mind clear. But Chatyr-Dag does not like fuss. If you hurry, get tired quickly, then the road back will seem infinitely long.
If you climbed to the top, you will feel the power of the local winds. They blow through - the body trembles ... At night, a different life begins in the forest. Strange sounds come from everywhere. And if you understand the language of the forest, you will know about a lot that is happening here tonight. During the day it is good to sleep on the slopes from the sea - the strength is quickly restored and sunbathing is especially good here. Visit the Sugarloaf, they say, you can help your eyesight there. Amazing places.

Mount Ai-Petri

Ai-Petri is a guard mountain. It protects the southern coast of Crimea from cold northern and western winds, and not only. According to many geological and energy features, a tectonic fault passes here.
Ai-Petri separates the energy zones of the South Coast and the Bakhchisarai region, so anomalies are found all over - from the valleys to the top, especially from the sea. On the way from Yalta to the weather station there is a small lake Karagol. It is known for its dark water. This water helps in the treatment of skin ailments: lichen, warts, corns and others. However, wounds can be sprinkled with it only after boiling.
The water is saturated with iodine, phosphorus, hydrogen sulfide and other active elements. Not far from the lake is the Wuchang-Su waterfall, an eagle shelter. A strong anomaly is felt in the gorge. You have to be very careful to keep your footing while walking.
Even higher you will meet the "drunken grove". The tree trunks in it are strongly curved and pressed to the ground. Staying here for a long time is undesirable - this is a geopathogenic zone. At the very top is the wind rose. Stay there, don't rush to leave. Facing the sea, you can make wishes.
On the descent towards Bakhchisarai, go slowly, it is best to spend the night here in open clearings. And early in the morning walk in the fog on the dewy grass barefoot. Inhale the air too slowly and be sure to wash yourself with dew. Your face will become not only fresher, but also younger. Daisies here are especially large, you can make a good collection. Taste the fragrant infusion from the local birch bark and buds. Very helpful. The western side of Ai-Petri is very favorable for walking: the paths are even, the air is always fresh, the sun is gentle, not scorching. The energy of the earth is soft - soothes, pacifies ...

(Ukr. Emine-Bayr-Khosar, Crimean. Emine Bayır Hasar, Emine Bayir Khasar) is a karst (washout) cave of a vertical type, located near marble cave on the lower plateau of the Chatyr-Dag massif, in the Crimea.
The cave was opened in 1927. The main route is about 700 meters and takes about an hour and a half.

The most beautiful, but also inaccessible lower galleries of the cave are the natural mineralogical museum-reserve of Crimea.

The name of the cave is translated from Turkic: Emin - oak, Bair - slope, Khosar - well, all together it means: a well on a slope near the oak. The name reflects several features of the cave at once: geographical location, appearance and the legend associated with the cave.

Emine-Bair-Khosar cave is called one of the most beautiful caves in Europe. It is located at an altitude of about 1000 meters on the territory of the Crimean nature reserve, 11 kilometers from the village of Marble.
The cave is 1460 meters long and over 120 meters deep. The name translated from Turkic means "Emine's well on the mountainside".

Emine-Bair-Khosar, also called the Mammoth Cave, was discovered in the 1920s when a group of researchers discovered a huge hall, which was later called the Main. For a long time, the tremendous beauty of the huge underground halls of the cave tried not to make public. This was done in order to preserve the cave, because very often vandals were operating in other caves.


Only in 1994 the cave began to be equipped for tourist excursions. For a convenient entrance to the cave halls, an inclined 12-meter tunnel was expanded in the rock; previously, only speleologists could descend into the cave along a wide 16-meter well, using special equipment.
Emine Bair Khosar is a real underground kingdom over 10 million years old, with dozens of long galleries, narrow manholes, large and miniature halls.

UFO in Crimea

(Victor Kilyaev)

Good afternoon I live in Autonomous Republic Crimea in Ukraine (2011).

We have a rather diverse area - there are mountains and plains, wonderful nature and air. That's why I love to travel all over the South Coast. On the southern coast of Crimea, outside the city of Sudak (it is twenty kilometers away) there is a small village Mezhdurechye. I was there this summer. This village is located between two large mountains. The area is indescribably beautiful. There are also several reservoirs there.

One of the warm summer days I was walking through this wonderful area. The time was not very late, so it was not yet dark. At some point, looking at the starry sky, I shifted my gaze to the tops of one of the mountains and saw an incomprehensible object luminous, hanging in the air, next to the mountain. The height of the mountain is about one hundred to one hundred and fifty meters, and it is quite steep.

A luminous object hung to the right of the top of the mountain. He didn't move. Its shape was triangular. The glow was bluish light. I felt kind of scared. Practically in opposite side there was already a fairly bright round moon - it was a full moon. I have never seen such a thing in my life. The size of the object was about two times larger than the moon, and it was quite close to me, I think no more than two to three kilometers. And I was standing in the middle of the street - not a soul around me. The street was dead silent, except for the chirping of crickets.

Honestly, after all, when you can’t explain what you see, it’s scary. What do they need near the mountain? Or they are watching this village - spinning in my head. Then I remembered the mobile phone (it has a camera). Thought - at least I'll take something off. While I took out my phone and turned on the camera, the object disappeared, and I didn’t even notice how. For more than a week of living there, I did not observe this object, although I expected to meet him every evening ...

Overnight at Karagach Mountain

I remember it very well...

It was in the spring of 2011, I traditionally went on an expedition to the Crimea and the management decided to go to the suburbs of Sudak, they spent the night near Mount Karagach. I had nothing against spending the night, it was fucking beautiful there: mountains, sky, there were some megaliths on the mountain, I saw them when I went for fuel for a fire. We were supposed to be there for a week, and then leave for Sudak.

The first night went smoothly, but I'll tell you about the second one now. They seem to be sleeping, everything is fine. At night I woke up from the cold, because I crawled out of the sleeping bag. I was about to climb back in, when I suddenly heard a roar near the tent, well, I thought it was wild boars ... I wanted to hit the tent to scare them ... Suddenly, it started. I CLEARLY HEAR THAT IT WALKS ON TWO LEGS! I think what the hell is this?! Lie down, pretend to be asleep. I thought it was crazy, but no! It was clear that he was not alone. There were several of them, and they walked around the parking lot. Then I hear the zippers of the tents being unzipped. What the hell are boars?!

Then they began to roar again, one howled. My knees were shaking, I could not calm them down. I've never been so afraid before! Sleep like a hand boldly! Suddenly I heard that our tent was opened, it’s good at least the outer compartment (the vestibule of scarves), where things are stored ... And between the vestibule and the sleeping compartment there was another barrier with a zipper. I felt how it rummaged through things, and they flew. I felt how they beat against the barrier, as we slept with our heads to it ... I realized with horror that they open the barriers of the bedrooms in other tents and look at the sleeping ones ...

I realized that I would die of horror if they looked into our tent ... OURS! Exactly! After all, I didn’t sleep alone, but with my friend, Ilya ...

I pushed him. Of course he asked what happened. I told him everything, he, like me at first, decided that they were wild boars, took his machete and told me to move with him to the middle of the tent, because "boars can tear the walls, and this is dangerous." Then I told him that if it didn't stop after 2 minutes, I would scream... He said that he was not taking part in this, and pretended to go to bed.

After 2 minutes, the infernal performance was in full swing and I, having gathered my strength, shouted softly: "Help!". One of the creatures, having heard me, went to the tent, and stretching the outer zipper of the vestibule, crept up to the inner barrier... I realized that the situation was critical, and again shouted, this time very loudly: "Help! Someone is climbing towards us to the tent!" After a couple of seconds, the parking lot was illuminated by the light of lanterns, exclamations were heard from neighboring tents: “Now we will help, calm down!”, And the creatures hastily fled to Karagach. The leader of the expedition looked into the tent and said that everything was in order.

Many, including us, found their tents unbuttoned and things scattered... The management was discussing something on the street. Our guide, who had a gun, was sent to guard the parking lot until the morning. The management attributed everything either to wild boars or to drunken tourists, but they did not come to a unanimous opinion. The next morning, everything was quickly turned off, although the expedition was calculated for a week, they gave the order to pack all things and equipment and have a quick breakfast. Then they hurriedly left for Sudak.
Here's the story that happened...

The main mysteries of Crimea

Crimea has always been a cauldron of peoples where the destinies of peoples and entire states were decided. The ancient and modern history of the peninsula holds many mysteries, some of which we have yet to unravel.

1. Origin of Crimea



The first mystery of the history of Crimea is the very formation of the peninsula. In 1996, American geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman from Columbia University formulated the theory of the so-called "Black Sea flood". According to it, until the sixth millennium BC, Crimea was not a peninsula, but was a fragment of a larger landmass, which included the territory of the modern Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov.

Around 5500 BC, as a result of an earthquake and a shift in the lithospheric plates, there was a breakthrough of water from the Mediterranean Sea, the Bosphorus Strait was formed, the level of the Black Sea rose by 140 meters, its volume increased by one and a half times. There is a version that it was this event that served as the basis for the myth of the Flood that exists in many cultures. Some historians also connect Plato's story of Atlantis with the flooding of the Black Sea.

The Ryan-Pitman theory has been criticized, but at the moment it has not been refuted. Having explored the Black Sea coast in 2000, having carried out a radiocarbon analysis of mollusks and changes in sedimentary rocks in the reservoir, the famous marinologist Ballard came to the conclusion that even 7500 thousand years ago the Black Sea was absolutely fresh, which indirectly confirms the theory of the expansion of the Black Sea as a Flood. .

Development by the Scythians and Greeks

Since ancient times, Crimea has been a real ethnic cauldron, in which tribes, peoples and even entire states were melted down. Crimea survived the Cimmerian period, the Scythian period, the Greek period, the Gothic period, the period of the Mongol-Tatar invasion, the period of Genoese rule.

About 722 B.C. e. the Scythians were expelled from Asia and founded a new capital, Scythian Naples, in the Crimea on the Salgir River (within modern Simferopol). The "Scythian" period is characterized by qualitative changes in the composition of the population itself. Archeological data show that after that, the basis of the population of the northwestern Crimea was made up of peoples who came from the Dnieper region. In the VI-V centuries BC. e., when the Scythians ruled the steppes, the Greeks founded their trading colonies on the coast of Crimea. In the first half of the 5th century BC. e. on the shores of the Black Sea there are two independent Greek states.

One of them is the democratic slave-owning republic of Chersonese (peninsula) Tauride, which included the lands of the western Crimea. Chersonese is hidden behind powerful stone walls. It was founded on the site of a Taurian settlement by Greeks from Heraclea Pontica. The other is the Bosporan autocratic state, whose capital was Panticapaeum ("the way of the fish"). Greek colonists brought to the shores of Cimmeria-Taurica their art of building ships, growing grapes, olive trees and other crops, erecting beautiful temples, theaters, stadiums. Hundreds of Greek settlements - policies - appear in the Crimea.

Invasion ready

Host tribes also ruled in the Crimea. Their migration, which was caused in part by climate change, was the beginning great era migrations of peoples, under the onslaught of which Rome perished. This invasion became another bloody page in the history of Crimea. On their way, they defeated the militant Scythians, the Alans tribes, pretty much plundered the Black Sea territories, defeating such rich cities as Trebizond, Tanais, Panticapaeum, and also "Small Scythia". Crimea became known as "Gothia".

The stronghold of the Crimean Gothia was the Doros fortress, after the conquest by the Khazars and until our times called Mangup-Kale - a huge cave city, which is still a tourist mecca of Crimea.

The isolated mountain plateau was supplied with drinking water from mountain springs, and therefore was a unique, half artificial, half natural fortification. In 1475 the Ottomans defeated the Goths. The Turks took Kafa (the fortress is currently preserved), laid siege to Mangup. The region falls into decay, being on the outskirts of Turkish lands, and the Gothic princely family was preserved in the boyar family of the Golovins - Gothic emigrant princes who lived in Moscow.


Where did the Crimean Goths themselves disappear to? The question is not idle. At the end of the 16th century, the envoy of the Austrian Emperor Ferdinand, Baron Ogier Ghislain de Busbecq, mentioned in his letter that once during a diplomatic mission in the Ottoman Empire, he met a man in Istanbul who claimed that he was a Crimean Goth. He forgot his native language, but his companion, a Greek, allegedly spoke the Crimean-Gothic language, and after a brief conversation, Busbek compiled a small Crimean-Gothic dictionary, which is the only written monument of this language, similar to the Gothic of Wulfila's time.

In the 18th-19th centuries, among the Crimean Tatars, ethnographers discovered atypical-looking people, remotely resembling the Crimean Goths in anthropological terms, as a result of which the theory is born that the Goths continue to exist on the territory of Crimea. Nazi scientists are clinging to this theory, planning to annex the Crimea to the Reich and create “Gotenland” there, that is, the land is ready.

The Goths were very receptive to the trends of local customs, they quickly fell under the cultural influence of Byzantium, Christianity spread among them, although of the Arian (heretical) type. According to sources, including archaeological ones, the blue-eyed population of the Germanic ethnos withstood the invasion of the Huns, but was destroyed by the Tatar-Mongol invasion.

Mongol-Tatar invasion

At the beginning of the 13th century, the Mongol-Tatars captured the Crimea. The ulus-beys distributed the lands of Crimea among themselves and founded beylyks - principalities on them. The residence of the governor was in the city of Solkhat (now - Stary Krym). It was the Tatars who began to call this city Crimea. Later, this name began to refer to the entire peninsula. Modern historians believe that the name Crimea comes from the Turkic word "kyrym" - a moat. Obviously, the ditch on the Perekop isthmus was meant.

Initially, the Tatars settled in the eastern and steppe Crimea. After the troops of the Golden Horde Khan Nogai invaded the Crimea in 1299, due to the unrest that arose in the Crimean ulus, the Tatars penetrated into the southwestern Crimea. By the end of the XIV century in the Crimea appears new area with a center in Kyrk-Ora (Chufut-Kale) near modern Bakhchisaray. The Tatars who settled in the Crimea in the XIV-XV centuries were fighting for separation from the Golden Horde and education independent state. The Golden Horde enters a period of civil strife.

Already at the end of the XIV century, the Arab author recalls the time when caravans, moving from Khorezm to the Crimea, did not leave the borders of one state, as irrevocably past. In 1395, Timur's troops crushed Solkhat-Crimea. Khan Tokhtamysh's attempt to rally the Golden Horde at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries was unsuccessful. At the beginning of the 15th century, Khadzhi Giray (the grandson of Tokhtamysh from the Genghisides clan, that is, the descendants of Genghis Khan) became the governor of the Golden Horde in the Crimea. He made a lot of efforts to achieve independence and become the head of a khanate separate from the Golden Horde. With the support of the Crimean beys, he achieves his goal. Hadji Giray became khan in 1428. This year can be considered the year of foundation of the Crimean Khanate.

Expulsion of the Genoese

A long period of Crimean history is associated with the Genoese. In the 60s of the XIII century, under an agreement with the Tatars, the Genoese founded their trading post Kaffa on the site of ancient Feodosia. They maintained allied relations with the Golden Horde khans, who formally were the supreme rulers of the territories of the colonies, but provided them with complete self-government, retaining power only over the subjects of the khans. In 1380, the Genoese infantry even participated on the side of Mamai in the Battle of Kulikovo.

After the fall of Byzantium in 1453, Genoa ceded the Black Sea colonies to its bank of San Giorgio (Bank of St. George). The international position of the colonies worsened: the military-political pressure of the Crimean Khanate intensified, relations with the Principality of Theodoro in Crimea escalated. In 1475, the Genoese colonies were conquered by Ottoman troops under the command of Pasha Gedik Ahmed and incorporated into the Ottoman state. Longer than others (until 1482) by Taman Peninsula representatives of the Genoese aristocratic family of Gizolfi were kept. The Genoese period in the history of Crimea was characterized by the rise of trade relations and the development of culture.

Annexation of Crimea to Russia

In the winter of 1780, a rebellion broke out in the Crimean Khanate, as a result of which the pro-Russian Khan Shahin Giray was forced to flee to the Russian port of Kerch. His place was taken by Bahadir Giray, who was oriented towards Turkey. Moreover, there was already an agreement between the Crimea and Turkey, according to which the sultan recognized Shahin Giray as a khan for life; now the Turkish authorities were determined to change the terms of this treaty. Catherine faced a choice: either simply restore Shahin Giray on the throne, or, taking advantage of the situation, finally resolve the territorial issue in her favor.

In August 1782, Catherine gave Potemkin the order to enter the Crimea and return power to the former protégé. But even then she understood that this would be only the first step towards the subsequent annexation of Crimea. Taking advantage of the support of England and France, who were interested in weakening Turkey, Potemkin and his associates began to develop a scenario in which Russia would have sufficient grounds to annex Crimea. The reason could be Turkey's interference in the internal affairs of Crimea, its failure to comply with the terms of the agreements, but Turkey did not give such reasons, so I had to use the pretext - to declare that the Turks had attacked Taman.

Transfer of Crimea to Ukraine



The main geopolitical mystery of the history of Crimea remains the question of its transfer to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954. Scientists are still arguing about the reasons for this historic decision. According to one version, in this way the USSR avoided the transfer of Crimea to the Jewish Republic on the basis of "credit history" with American bankers (Joint organization).

According to another version, it was a gift to Ukraine in honor of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Pereyaslav Rada. Unfavorable conditions for farming in the steppe regions of the peninsula and the territorial proximity of Crimea to Ukraine are also mentioned among the reasons. Many people support the version according to which the “Ukrainization” of Crimea was supposed to contribute to the restoration of the destroyed national economy.

7 facts about the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine

So, on February 19, 1954, a decree was adopted on the transfer of the Crimean region to the Ukrainian SSR. Nikita Khrushchev handed Crimea over to Ukraine with a grand gesture. It's time to talk about this historic decision.

1. "Credit history"

One of the versions of the transfer of Crimea is a "credit history" linking the RSFSR and the American Jewish organization "Joint". The idea of ​​resettling Jews in the Crimea began to be discussed immediately after the end of the Civil War. The issue was actively lobbied by foreign funds. The Politburo repeatedly discussed this project. His active supporters were Trotsky, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Bukharin, Rykov.

A branch of Agro-Joint Bank was established in Simferopol. In January 1924, there was already talk of an “autonomous Jewish government federated with Russia,” a draft decree was prepared on the creation of a Jewish Autonomous SSR in the northern part of Crimea. On February 20, 1924, the Jewish Telegraph Agency (ETA) circulated a corresponding message abroad.

In 1929, an agreement was concluded between the RSFSR and the organization "Joint". The document, which bore the beautiful title "On Crimean California," contained the obligations of the parties. The "Joint" allocated the USSR 1.5 million dollars a year (before 1936, 20 million dollars were received), and for this amount the CEC left 375 thousand hectares of Crimean land as a pledge. They were issued in shares that were bought by more than 200 Americans, including politicians Roosevelt and Hoover, financiers Rockefeller and Marshall, General MacArthur.

The decision to create "Crimean California" was delayed. During the Tehran Conference, Roosevelt reminded Stalin of his obligations, the Secretary General was in no hurry, but some historians explain the deportation of the Tatars in 1944 by the liberation of Crimea for Jewish settlers. 1954 was the deadline for paying off debts and Khrushchev made a "knight's move", giving Crimea to Ukraine.

2. National question

One of the main "Crimean" issues is the national issue. In 1944, the deportation of peoples began from the Crimea. Usually they only talk about the deportation of Tatars, but not only Tatars were evicted. Greeks (almost 15 thousand) and Bulgarians (12.5 thousand) were deported. Tatars left most of all for Uzbekistan. Greeks and Bulgarians were settled in Central Asia, to Kazakhstan and to certain regions of the RSFSR. According to the 1939 census, about 50% of Russians, 25% of Tatars and only 10.2% of Ukrainians lived in Crimea.

After the deportation of the Tatars in 1944, the Crimea "howled". Agriculture has been particularly hard hit. In 1950, compared with 1940, grain production fell by almost five times, tobacco by a factor of three, and vegetables by a factor of two. In the entire region in 1953, there were 29 grocery and 11 department stores.

In the 60s, the process of the return of the Tatars and the settlement of Crimea by Ukrainians and Russians began. There was a voluntary-compulsory Ukrainization. Everywhere, except for Sevastopol, the Ukrainian language was introduced into the school curriculum.
Today there are more than 2 million people in Crimea. 1 million are Russians, more than 400 thousand are Ukrainians, and 240 thousand are Tatars.


3. Historical background

The transfer of Crimea to Ukraine is an idea that was in the air ten years before 1954. Even at the height of the Great Patriotic War, when the Germans were ousted from the peninsula, Khrushchev, who was then the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, ordered to draw up a certificate on the Crimea. Khrushchev searched the archives for historical ties between Russia and Ukraine.

One of the employees of the apparatus recalled that Nikita Sergeevich told him about 1944: “I was in Moscow and said:“ Ukraine is in ruins, and everyone is pulling from it. And if Crimea is given to her? ”So after that, as soon as they didn’t call me and as soon as they didn’t shake my soul. They were ready to be erased into dust.”

4. The question of legitimacy

The question of the legitimacy of the transfer of Crimea is still controversial. The main noise rises when the question of a referendum arises. Allegedly, a nationwide referendum was to be held in the country, but the rights and legal framework of the referendum were not described in the Soviet Constitution, except for the mention in Article 33 that the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR could conduct it. Important: could, but not required. Thus, the question of a referendum is removed.

The answer to the question about the body that has the authority to give or not give consent to changing the borders is given by Article 22 of the Constitution: " supreme body state power The RSFSR is the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR." According to Article 24, "The Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR is the sole legislative body of the RSFSR." Article 151 states that changes to the Constitution are possible only by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, adopted by a majority of "not less than two-thirds of the votes."

Thus, the change in Article 14 of the Constitution of the RSFSR and the removal of the Crimean region from it can be regarded as consent received to transfer this region to another union republic. Therefore, the legal procedure for the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 was absolutely correct. The issue was discussed by the Presidiums of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation and the Ukrainian SSR, they jointly appealed to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. And only on the basis of this appeal, a resolution was adopted and a decree was signed on the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine.

5. Who made the decision?

It is believed that Khrushchev made the decision to transfer the Crimea. In November 1953 he made a trip to the Crimea. According to his accompanying son-in-law, journalist Aleksey Adzhubey, he was shocked by the fact that there were no vegetables and fruits in the state trade in the southern region. A common misconception is that Khrushchev was Ukrainian and that this influenced the decision to transfer Crimea. This, of course, is not true. Khrushchev was not a Ukrainian, he never spoke Ukrainian. Another thing is that he had a certain Ukrainian sentiment, as well as a sense of guilt for participating in repressions.

This could indirectly affect, but government decisions are not made at the level of sentiment, and the decision to transfer was not made by Khrushchev alone. The retinue makes the king. Khrushchev's retinue included Bulganin, Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich, Kuusinen. The main role was played by Georgy Malenkov, who headed the Council of Ministers.

6. Black Sea Fleet

The issue with the Black Sea Fleet, based in Sevastopol, remained problematic for a long time. According to Ukrainian laws, the stay of foreign military facilities was prohibited on its territory, but Ukraine made an exception for the Russian fleet. In April 2010, Viktor Yanukovych agreed to extend Russia's lease on the naval base in Sevastopol, which expired in 2017, for another 25 years, with an option to renew it. During the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine, the issue of the fleet was not raised, Ukraine was a union republic, legal problems arose already in 1991.

7. Return

The first of the major Russian politicians to speak about the return of Crimea was Vice President Alexander Rutskoi. Since that time, the issue of the return of Crimea to Russia has been raised many times. Several referendums held in Crimea have shown the population's loyalty to reunification with Russia. According to the results of the last official census, conducted in 2001, 10.1% of Crimean residents named Ukrainian as their native language. Today, 97% of the population are Russian speakers.

In conclusion - a couple more mysteries of the peninsula.

Megaliths of Crimea



The most mysterious ancient structures of the Crimea are megaliths. On the peninsula, they are represented by menhirs - vertical stone pillars, dolmens - stone crypts of five slabs and cromlechs - circles of stones, most likely connected with the solar cults of the ancient peoples who inhabited the peninsula.

The most famous menhir of Crimea is the Bakhchisaray menhir. Interest in it grew after Alexander Lagutin, an engineer of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, suggested at the end of the last century that the Bakhchisarai menhir was built as an astronomical observatory. Lagutin conducted observations for several years, determining the relationship of the menhir with solar cycles, and came to the conclusion that the orientation of the menhir was carried out on the basis of the vernal equinox.

It is not possible to establish the exact age of the menhir. Most likely, it dates back to the time of the Taurian rule of the Crimea.

Secret submarine base



Crimea has a truly heroic military history. And if a lot has been written about wars and battles on the territory of the peninsula, then for a long time the general public was not aware of one strategic object on the territory of Crimea. We are talking about a secret submarine base in Balaklava, also called "object 825 GTS". This base was built after the war on the personal instructions of Stalin.

Initially, the project was supervised by Lavrenty Beria. The construction of the facility was carried out by a specially created construction department No. 528. The base was built for 8 years, from 1953 to 1961, during which time about 120 tons of rock were removed. To ensure secrecy, the export was carried out at night on barges to the open sea. First, the object was built by the military, then by the metro builders.

Object 825 GTS was erected as a construction of anti-nuclear protection of the first category (protection against a direct hit by an atomic bomb with a power of 100 kt). There was an underground water channel with a dry dock, workshops for repairs, fuel depots, a mine and torpedo unit. The secret submarine base was designed to shelter, repair and maintain submarines of the 613th and 633rd projects and store ammunition for these submarines. The channel (length 602 meters) of the facility could accommodate 7 submarines of these projects.

CRIMEA. What was the Ahnenerbe looking for on the peninsula during the war?

SECRETS and MYSTERIES OF CRIMEA. What was the Ahnenerbe looking for on the peninsula during the war?

Crimea has always beckoned with its mysteries. He studied it and the scientific department of the NKVD, and then "Ahnenerbe" - during the Second World War. What were they looking for there? And what did you find?

In the second half of the 20s. Alexander Barchenko tried to implement the project of convening a congress of carriers ancient knowledge belonging to different faiths. Having received the "message of the mahatmas", the Soviet authorities hurried to hold a "theosophical congress" in Moscow, where the leading role would, of course, belong to Nicholas Roerich. In different parts of the country, big and small magicians turned out to be involved in global political processes.

Beginning in 1925, Barchenko took up the practical work of preparing for the convocation of a congress of the religious and mystical communities of Russia and the East in Moscow. Why did he establish connections with the Hasidim, Ismailis, Karaites, Tibetan and Mongolian lamas, Altai Old Believers, Kerzhaks, the Russian golbesh sect, and others. , in Ufa, in the former Samara province, as well as in Kostroma. A lot of money was needed for all these long and short trips. “Money, like all my material support, was subsidized by Gleb Ivanovich Bokiy, a member of the group. Since 1925, a total of about 100 thousand rubles have been received from him, ”Alexander Vasilyevich reported in 1937 during Chekist interrogations. This figure would represent at present no less than 600,000 dollars.

Carrying out the plan, A.B. Barchenko in 1927 went to Bakhchisarai, where he established contact with members of the Muslim dervish order Saidi-Eddini-Jibavi. Subsequently, he summoned the son of the sheikh of the Muslim dervish order Saidi-Eddini-Jibavi to Moscow to meet Gleb Bokiy.

Presumably at the same time, Barchenko traveled to Ufa and Kazan, where he met with the dervishes of the orders of Naqsh-Bendi and Khalidi.

Barchenko also developed close relations with domestic custodians of knowledge, golbeshniks, whose head, Elder Nikitin, Alexander Vasilyevich visited in the fall of 1924 in Kostroma. In March 1927, Barchenko again came to Kostroma and, in addition to Nikitin, also met here with the son of the sheikh of the Muslim order Saadia, but these exotic contacts attracted the attention of the OGPU, and in Kostroma the scientist was arrested, but hastily released at the request of Bokiy. And in the same March of 1927, Alexander Vasilyevich was already with an expedition in the Crimea, where, in parallel with his scientific work, he established contacts with members of the dervish order.

He came to the Crimea as part of a scientific expedition sanctioned by Bokiy as a team leader; Barchenko's deputy, as on the trip to the Kola Peninsula, was the astrophysicist A. Kondiain. It is believed that Alexander Kondiain had already lived for some time in the Crimea, in the village of Aziz near Bakhchisaray. All employees were selected by A.B. Barchenko and E.E. Gopius and approved by G.I. Bokey. As Oleg Shishkin writes in the book "Battle for the Himalayas", " Mountain Crimea Bokiy was also interested in purely practical reasons: here were areas of geomagnetic anomalies. They created difficulties in the passage of radio waves.

Bakhchisarai became the base of the scientific expedition. Years later, here, in Bakhchisarai, there will be a temporary headquarters of the outstanding Nazi commander Erich von Manstein (1887-1973), and in the Crimea, Nazi researchers will also have their own interests, directed to ancient times.

According to the historian Valery Demin, Barchenko, on the personal instructions of Dzerzhinsky, headed completely secret expedition to the caves of the Crimea, the purpose of which was “to search for the remains of ancient civilizations, which, according to the concept of the Russian scientist, owned universal Knowledge. But Barchenko was looking for more: he believed that ancient civilizations possessed the secret of splitting the atom, other sources of energy, as well as effective means of psychotronic influence on people. And the information about that has not disappeared, it has been preserved in an encoded form, they can be found and deciphered. This, last but not least, explains the increased interest in his research on the part of the Chekists and personally Dzerzhinsky. Has the required evidence been found? The answer to this question is hidden behind seven seals. Secret services have always been able to keep their secrets ”(see V. Demin.“ Secrets of the Russian people: In search of the origins of Rus' ”).

“In the mountains,” adds the historian O. Shishkin, “the legendary Goths lived two hundred years ago. They disappeared, only a few stone stelae and labyrinths in the caves reminded of the ancient architects who fled here, perhaps from the great flood. Like it or not, however, we must not forget that the iron Polish Jew Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky died on June 20, 1926, that is, almost a year before the Crimean expedition of the Special Department.

It is clear that Barchenko was attracted by the mysterious Shambhala, a country where high truths are accessible and where you can communicate with each other without words, but only with the help of telepathy. Despite the fact that he received the coordinates of Shambhala from the words of Dorzhiev, there were still other information regarding its location. While some claimed that Shambhala was located in the region of Tibet in the Himalayas, others assured that it was in Altai, others attributed the mysterious country to the Persian borders and even deep into the hollow Earth; but there were also those who argued that the desired zone was located in the Crimea. Previously inaccessible archival documents now testify that in the 30s of the XX century. Shambhala was searched not only in Tibet, but in Karelia, Altai, in the swampy labyrinths of Yugra, in the Crimea and other places in the USSR. All those who were looking for a mysterious country from 1937 to 1941 will be arrested and shot. Everyone who is somehow connected with this riddle will perish.

The results of the scientific research of the expedition of the Special Department to the Crimea became a new property of the secret archives of Bokiy. But some details of the expedition's stay in the blessed land of ancient Taurida are known.

From Bakhchisaray, Barchenko, through the Soviet consul in Mongolia, a member of the "United Labor Brotherhood" Vladimir Korolev (a recent assistant to the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs and a graduate of the Institute of Living Oriental Languages), sends a message to the Buryat scholar Tsybikov in Ulan-Ude, in which, speaking of personal meetings with golbeshniks, he indicates to their great mission: “They gradually deepened my knowledge, broadened my horizons. This year, in the period from February 28 to March 7, they formally accepted me on their Wednesday and formally authorized me in March of this year to notify all foreigners who own the tradition about our work in Russia ... This is precisely the authority I am fulfilling with this letter. Ogonbochzhaba Tsybikov, a graduate of St. Petersburg University, one can say that this outstanding person at the beginning of the 20th century managed, under the guise of a Buryat pilgrim, to visit the most secret monasteries of the Tibetan highlands.

Having fulfilled the order, Korolev will hand over the book of the future “Mother of the World” by E.I. Roerich "Community", sending it through Gleb Ivanovich Bokiy.

What could special officers from the Cheka study on the fertile land of Crimea? Modern researchers can safely say that the Crimea is rich in historical past, and its history goes back to the time of Atlantis and the early Aryans. What only strange stories unrelated to this land! As if, say the newly-minted cosmists and contactees, the first settlers of the Crimean peninsula could communicate with the Cosmos through a magic crystal, which they brought with them from intergalactic wanderings. This crystal connected the core of the Earth with the constellation of the Hounds of the Dogs; while other crystals on Earth connected with other constellations. The crystal worked up to the last civilization of the Atlanteans; but the global flood and the displacement of the continents interrupted this opportunity, and the current Crimeans, individual residents of the city of Sevastopol, are ready to restore work amazing artifact, activating it with a collective energy message. The crystal is believed to be in the bowels of the Sapun Mountain, possibly in an underground pyramid. By the way, when measuring the electromagnetic field on Sapun Mountain, the instruments show a very low voltage.

Pyramids have always captured the imagination of people. They are seen and found not only in the famous Giza, in Egypt, not only in Southeast Asia and South America, but at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and even on Mars. Only in the 20th century were pyramids found in Japan, China and the Crimea. And at the beginning of the 21st century, a giant pyramidal structure, erected about 20,000 years ago, was discovered in the center of Europe, in

Bosnia. It is no wonder that interest in these objects is constantly growing, because the pyramids have long been credited with absolutely incredible, often fantastic properties.

It is believed that the fact that in the vicinity of Sevastopol at a depth of 10-15 meters there are at least seven pyramids identical to the Egyptian ones, it became known by chance. However, according to one of my trusted interlocutors, the pyramids in the Crimea, as well as the mysterious caves, were well known to the secret services even under Comrade Stalin. In addition, as it became known, in 1927 (according to other sources, in 1926) Barchenko's expedition in the Crimea was searching for pyramids. But did she find - as they say, a big question, to which a positive answer is not excluded. In our time, a group of researchers led by V.A. Gokh during the search for new sources of fresh water. Subsequently, Vitaly Anatolyevich Gokh claimed that they discovered seven pyramids at once in the area from Sevastopol to Foros. He is sure that similar pyramids are built along the entire south coast Crimea. “They are all located on the same line - on the same line as the Tibetan pyramids and the famous Stonehenge. And all these underground structures are oriented to the northwest,” the scientist emphasized.

Now all the objects found have been scanned, and one of the pyramids is outwardly similar to the famous Egyptian Sphinx, however, researchers believe that the age of the Crimean find is 15,000-20,000 years older than the pyramids in Egypt. And this is certainly a great mystery. And another oddity: the scanning of the peninsula showed that over 40 pyramids rest in the depths here. Moreover, 28 of them form a huge rhombus with a center in the village of Krasny Mak. I think I won’t shock a positively thinking reader if I admit that my interlocutor, talking about the mysterious places of the Crimea, told about his journey in Space and Time along a spatial corridor (scientists call it a wormhole), finding himself in the area of ​​a destroyed church near the Belbek river. Then we were driving along a dusty road by a bus passing nearby; the bus route passed from Sevastopol to the stop Krasny Mak. According to him, he himself was involved in experiments in a closed laboratory. Moreover, it was not just a laboratory, but part of a system of closed institutes and laboratories (similar to the Anenerbe and the same Special Department), which functioned until the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991. In the book “The True Fate of Admiral Kolchak,” the author wrote that thanks to the Barchenko expedition, “not only caves were thoroughly explored, but also carefully equipped tunnels located at great depths leading to unique in shape; according to the content and architecture of the cities of the most ancient civilizations! 10 years after these events, these underground cities will be “mastered” by a division of the Main Directorate of State Security, but ... unexpectedly for the organizers of that expedition, everything will disappear without a trace, and the places of entrances to the tunnels will take on the appearance as if no one opened them! Is it mystic? Most likely, no, that was the desire of certain structures: to remove witnesses, to confuse everything and ... In the end, it could not mean that certain structures had exhausted their interest in the pre-ancient civilizations in Crimea.”

I will add that my narrator told his story about a fantastic journey, as he wrote these dates in his book long before the first materials about the underground pyramids found in the Crimea appeared in print. And - a strange thing - for the umpteenth time there are more and more confirmations of such ambiguous confidential stories ...

Researchers of the Crimean pyramids believe that all these homogeneous structures were erected to transfer cosmic energy. At the same time, some of them receive energy, while others give it away.

While official science ignores such amazing finds (this was the case with the temple pyramidal complex near the Japanese island of Yonaguni, and with Chinese pyramids in the province of Sichuan, and with the Bosnian man-made mountain Visocica, etc.), advanced scientists are trying to conduct their research. And the help of astrophysicists and mathematicians is not out of place here. For example, mathematicians have proven that all pyramids contain the "golden section", the "magic square" and the "sacred triangle". Astronomers and astrophysicists have recognized that the pyramid is an encrypted model of the Cosmos, as it is built according to cosmic proportions and most often oriented along polar star. And the three great pyramids on the Giza plateau and the pyramid complex in Mexico also repeat the arrangement of the stars of the Orion belt or the arrangement of the planets of the solar system. Biologists also made their discoveries, indicating that the products that fell into the pyramid are mummified, and do not grow moldy and rot. Such strange properties of some pyramids were also discovered: blades are sharpened by themselves here, seeds germinate, surprising with their germination and yield, etc. So maybe it’s true that the pyramidal shape provides the accumulation of cosmic energy, which can miraculously affect organisms?

There are pyramids, there are many of them, they are scattered all over the globe is an irrefutable fact. But by whom and why were they built and what miracles are they capable of? - this is yet to be recognized, if, of course, it succeeds. After all, it is known that not every pyramid admits hunters for secrets. For example, the path to the pyramids of China (discovered by a US pilot in 1944) runs through the Valley of Death, where several international scientific expeditions have already disappeared. Jokes with mysterious powers are bad...

And here is some more interesting information that can shake the stubbornness of skeptics. In 1967, the famous American physicist, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Luis Alvarez decided to investigate the passage of cosmic rays through the thickness of the Khafre pyramid, using the latest electronic technology at that time. Prominent Egyptian physicists came to the aid of the scientist and his group from the University of California. After the results were processed on a computer, Dr. Alvarec declined to comment on them. But his Egyptian colleague, the physicist Goneid, openly declared that they were “simply unthinkable,” because, in his words: “They were either influenced by a significant error that crept into the geometry of the pyramid, or by a mystery that we are not able to explain. Call it what you will - the curse of the pharaohs, magic or magic.

There is no doubt among sane people that we are still dealing with a mystery that we are not able to explain; which means that the whole world science, despite its breakthroughs and achievements, remains imperfect.

For some strange (for us) reasons, our distant ancestors also made small pyramids of stones, performing all kinds of magical rites near them. It is believed that with the help of "pyramidal" magic, miracles can be performed: for example, plunging into a trance, learn the will of the gods and pass it on to fellow tribesmen. According to publicist Sergei Demkin, the “pyramid effect” can be explained by the fact that in places with an anomalous energy structure of the subsoil, any geometric objects made of stone turn into energy accumulators or “focusing lenses” of telluric (terrestrial) radiation, multiplying its impact on living and dead matter.

So, we do not know what exactly they were looking for in the Crimea and what specialists from Bokiy's secret department found. By the way, the Communists will seduce (and successfully) their herald Gorky with the Crimea. In 1932, as a gift for the 40th anniversary of the writer, the seaside palace in the town of Tesli, near Cape Foros, was urgently repaired, where the landscapes are identical to the landscapes of Italy and Capri, to which Alexey Maksimovich was so accustomed. But was it only by beauty, and not by magic, that they tried to keep the fiery petrel in the country of victorious demons?

The deciphered pages of German archives, showing what German scientists were looking for in the steppes, mountains and bowels of the Crimean Peninsula in the 40s of the 20th century, could partly shed light on the mystery associated with the stay of people from the Special Department here in the late 20s.

It has already been said about the German commander Erich von Manstein, whose headquarters during the Second World War was temporarily located in Bakhchisaray. From September 1942, Alfred Frauenfeld (1898–1977) was appointed General Commissioner of the Crimea - Tavria; its headquarters was in Melitopol. Immediately after the appointment, Gauleiter Frauenfeld organized an archaeological expedition, led by SS Brigadeführer fon Alvensleben and army officers Colonel Kalk and Captain Werner Baumelburg, all of whom were representatives of the Ahnenerbe organization. The expedition explored the surroundings of Bakhchisaray and the fortress city of Mangup-Kale. In the early Middle Ages, "cave cities" arose in the Crimea, located in hard-to-reach places inner ridge of the Crimean mountains. Mangup-Kale, as the capital of the politically independent Principality of Theodoro, was one of such cities located on Mount Baba-Dag.

Of course, caves and grottoes were of interest to Nazi scientists not only as alleged objects of ancient cultural heritage, but also objects of a different, more mystical or mystical-practical than purely practical plan. The imperial affairs manager of the Ahnenerbe research and intelligence structure, Wolfram Sievers, testifying during interrogation on June 29, 1945, said: “The department for researching karsts and caves was led by Dr. Hans Brand, a member of the party and SS troops. He also worked at the Karst Research Institute, which studied cave formations in the mountains for military purposes. Brand was in charge of the SS Fortifications Department, a scientific division that conducted research in the field of fortification. It was located in Eienfels, Austria. It is believed that Brand was introduced into the SS troops to organize units designed to defend the karst caves. As it turns out, in the structure of "Ahnenerbe" there was a research unit of speleologists to study the karsts of the Crimea, Abkhazia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Moravia, Ecuador, the mountain ranges of Everest, Mont Blanc and Kilimonjaro. Why even created the "Imperial Union of speleology and karst research."

But why and why did the Reich, with its auxiliary structures "Ahnenerbe" and the "black order" of the SS, need these objects, which, moreover, had to be heavily guarded? - we don't know for sure. However, I will not refrain from citing an unusual remark by a full member of the New York Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Fuad Feyzullaev, in his discussion about the conquest of Antarctica by the Fuhrer’s detachments, who wrote: “Tibet attracted him with the idea of ​​immortality. After all, as you know, in the caves of Tibet, thousands of people are still sitting in a state of suspended animation, whose age is fantastic - 700 years or more. This incredible truth was confirmed by the recent expedition of Professor Ernst Muldashev. Not hoping to get into the caves and prolong his life in the occult way, Hitler decided to do it with the help of science - to freeze himself in order to revive him later. We will not develop the theme of "freezing" further; here the very fact of a possible relationship between mountain caves and life extension is interesting.

It is possible that the Germans were helped in scientific research in the Crimean mountains and locals, and Russian researchers or even talented scientists. It is known that there were many Russian people in the ranks of the Anenerbe. For example, the “bison of genetics” Nikolai Vladimirovich Timofeev-Resovsky (1900–1981), who headed the department of genetics and biophysics of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of the Brain in Nazi Germany, is one of the founders of radiobiology and evolutionary genetics, who stood at the origins of molecular biology. After the end of World War II and a short term in the Soviet camp in 1947, he was transferred to a secret laboratory in the Ural village of Sungul to head the biophysical department. Since 1955, after his release, he held leadership positions in various scientific institutes THE USSR. It is curious that his family goes back to Rurik, and among his ancestors is the hero of Sevastopol, Admiral Nakhimov. One of the students of this outstanding Soviet scientist subsequently, veiledly bypassing the German period of service of Timofeev-Resovsky, wrote: “So the laboratory of radiobiology of the Sevastopol biological station, created on September 5, 1956, subsequently transformed into the department of radiation and chemical biology of the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas. A.O. Kovalevsky of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, became a branch of the mighty scientific tree of "radiation biogeocenology", formed by Nikolai Vladimirovich among the "basurmans" (in Berlin, Copenhagen and other cities).

It is possible that in the German Brain Institute in the 30s of the XX century. experiments were carried out, somewhat identical to those done by employees of the Soviet "institution with an occult bias" - the Institute of the Brain, headed by its director Bekhterev. And where our hero A.B. worked for a while. Barchenko. By the way, the father of one of the most devoted students of Barchenko Lidia Nikolaevna Shishelova (nee Markova), having emigrated from the Soviet country, collaborated with the new German government. NOT. Markov, the well-known leader of the Black Hundred, while still a member of the Duma of the Russian Empire, called for the expulsion or extermination of criminal Jewish traders. In 1918, Barchenko attended an occult circle headed by Markov's cousin, D.V. Bobrovsky; there he met his student, a member of his future expeditions, and her father. Lidia Nikolaevna was so imbued with Barchenko's hobbies that she did not want to go into exile with her father, remaining in the USSR with her husband, a graduate of the Oriental Institute Yu.V. Shishelov. The young woman also visited the Crimea along with an expedition of a teacher from the Special Department. Perhaps she happened to collect pseudo-scientific rumors about mysterious inhabitants and legends of this region (as it was in 1922 on the Kola Peninsula). Without a doubt, not only ancient knowledge, not only everything mysterious and unknown, but also animals unknown to science were also desirable objects for study. It is known that in the early 20s of the 20th century, news was spread in the Crimean newspapers about a strange monster in the form of a huge relic snake with a dog (hare) head, short-legged, with horny plates on the body and a sparse mane. One could laugh along with the local wits who invented such a legend, but such creatures were met on the peninsula, as it turned out, both in the Middle Ages and today. Moreover, even now witnesses of meetings with such monsters, and at the same time with giants - three-meter humanoid creatures speaking an incomprehensible language, are often quite respectable people, whose sanity cannot be doubted. The monster or even several were seen by the local residents of Bakhchisaray, the villages of Koktebel, Ordzhonikidze, in the Kara-Dag region and Cape Meganom, near Kerch and in other places in the Crimea, where there are mountain caves or entrances to underground grottoes. By the way, a note about a monster from Koktebel, for the capture of which a company of Red Army soldiers was seconded, which eventually discovered only a trace of a mysterious creature, was sent to his colleague by the poet Maximilian Voloshin, who lived in the Crimea since 1917. As a result, the recipient of the message, Mikhail Bulgakov, wrote his story "Fatal Eggs". And more curious: witnesses of the meeting with huge tailed amphibians were ichthyologists and employees of the Institute of Biology South Seas- the very one to the development of which the former employee of Anenerbe, the Soviet scientist N.V. put his mind and efforts. Timofeev-Resovsky.

In 1942–1943 specialists from the "Heritage of the Ancestors" actively excavated the ruins of the Gothic cities of the Crimea. It is known about the expedition sent by G. Himmler to the Black Sea steppes in July 1942. The expedition was led by one of the world's best specialists in Goth and Viking cultures, Dr. Herbert Jankun. Her goal was to search for the remains material culture kingdom is ready. Historians do not tire of asserting that the ideologists of the Reich planned that the Crimea and the lower reaches of the Dnieper should be completely settled and colonized only by the Germans. The future colony was named Gotengau (Gothic district), in honor of the Goths, who, according to Jankun, were the ancestors of the German Aryans. Everything is so, but it is worth adding to this that current historians do not take into account (or hush up): Comrade Stalin populated the Crimea with Ukrainians - in the 30s and 50s of the 20th century. there have been several waves of forcible mass deportation of Ukrainian families to the steppe and coastal areas Crimea, where they became Crimean collective farmers. This is one of Stalin's time bombs, in which the detonator is the question of nationality and geographical affiliation. And here the Soviet General Secretary did not move far from the Nazis: the Ukrainization of the Russian multinational Crimea is no better than the Aryanization.

The attention of researchers of the Third Reich has always been attracted by the mysterious caves in the mountains, and especially the caves under water. Crimea was no exception in this respect. Suffice it to recall the great achievements of the Nazis in terms of the development of the Russian North and Antarctica and the construction there of unique, hidden from everyone, bases for their submarines. The memoirs, voiced by the heirs of some scientists from the Anenerbe, speak of a strange effect on the psyche of the researchers of caves and grottoes. Often the members of the expeditions had the feeling that they were being watched, an unaccountable fear arose, as if the place had been “sealed” by unknown forces. There were cases when expeditions that went to ground, underground or underwater caves disappeared without a trace. About such incidents that have taken place in our time, one can find reports in the open press, read in the works of Ernst Muldashev and other travel scientists. Those who tried to penetrate individual Crimean caves also felt horror; some of the curious died with a grimace of genuine horror on their faces.

For example, B. Litton, author of the books “ Last days Pompey and Rome" and "The Race That Will Come" believe that beings possessing superhuman power dwell deep below the surface of the Earth. The same thoughts are expressed in his books by the prominent American anthropologist, researcher of shamanism M. Harner. President of the Association for Engineering Dowsing Vladimir Khlopkov said that, together with researchers from the association, he had established that underground, at a depth of 200 kilometers, there is some kind of strong, but alien to man Mind. Most likely, the carriers of the mind have the form of information-energy clots. Khlopkov managed to find places on the surface of the earth where this mind could “come out” to the surface.

Quite scientific studies of caves that have become known are also curious; True, they were not in the Crimea, but in Khakassia. Here, in the mountains of Kuznetsk Alatau, there is the Kashkulakskaya Cave known to all Russian ufologists (the cave of the Black Devil, also the Cave of the Black Shaman). For many years, scientists from the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences have been investigating traces of ancient cult sites with anomalous properties, including Kashkulakskaya, where strange phenomena occurred to people who were in the cave for a long time. From time to time, visitors to the cave were seized with overwhelming horror, and people rushed headlong to the exit. The feeling of horror was most often accompanied by the same visual hallucinations for everyone, when people saw an old man in a shaggy hat with horns and burning eyes. Was it not a frightening projection of the inhabitants of the lower worlds, protecting their territories from uninvited guests? To understand what was happening, scientists placed high-frequency magnetometers and other devices in and around the cave and compared the changes in their readings with the experiences experienced by people in the cave. It turned out that at the moment people began to feel nervous, the devices recorded sharp bursts of an increased magnetic field. And while the instruments outside were not registering any changes, the instruments below ground went off scale, as if they indicated that a strong magnetic storm was raging around. Some of the scientists who conducted the research believed that in the cave they encountered a kind of radio beacon that works according to an incomprehensible program and sends signals through the thickness rocks vertically up into space. Here is the conclusion of the employees of the above-mentioned institute Trofimov, Baranovsky and others, recorded in scientific reports and stored in the archives. The investigated impulse turned out to be low-frequency, it was not perceived by the human ear, but it had an impact on the psyche of a person and other living beings who found themselves in a cave. The impulses recorded by the devices have nothing to do with natural ones. Such low-frequency pulses with a stable amplitude can only be generated by an artificial emitter. Research started in the 80s of the 20th century ceased already in the 90s, coinciding with the collapse of the Union and the cessation of funding.

Can this mean, our contemporaries ask, that the mysterious underground creatures living in the thickness of the earth came from the Cosmos and in this way communicate with their fellow tribesmen? But in Soviet times (and it was then that measurements were taken) such thoughts were blasphemous ... True, such thoughts arose much earlier - among employees from the Special Department, among their Nazi colleagues from the Ahnenerbe. As you know, Comrade Adolf Hitler also shared the theory of the Hollow Earth. Isn't that why scientists from the Third Reich were so interested in exploring caves and searching for entrances to the underworld?

We can find the assertion from individual domestic narrators that “shortly after the capture of Sevastopol by the troops of the 11th German Army in July 1942, one of the leaders of the Ahnenerbe, Alfred Frauenfeld, organized a special archaeological expedition to survey cave cities on the territory of Sevastopol and the Bakhchisarai region of Crimea. The German research group, which explored the cave cities, followed in the footsteps of the Barchenko expedition, which studied these places in 1927. The SS expedition paid the greatest attention to ancient city Mangup, located between Sevastopol and Bakhchisaray. Also, Nazi researchers carefully studied the cave complexes in Inkerman, the cave monasteries of Chelter and Shuldan in the vicinity of Sevastopol. Much attention was paid cave cities and temples in the vicinity of Bakhchisaray. The expedition took place under the guise of a legend about the search for traces of the stay of the ancient Germanic tribe of the Goths in the Crimea and Sevastopol, in order to historically substantiate their subsequent annexation to Germany. But in fact, the task of this German expedition, as well as the Barchenko expedition, was to search for traces and artifacts of the Neolithic civilization founded by people from North Africa, which we now know as the Kemi-Oba archaeological culture, and attempts to discover the ways in which its shamans and magicians, and then the priests, could combine their psychophysical and biophysical energy with the energy of the earth's fields, thereby achieving the implementation of their various plans. As you can see, there are still more conjectures and assumptions than there are indisputable facts.

And yet, the main work of German researchers took place in the places of ancient buildings of the so-called "Crimean Gothia". Reference books say: “Crimean Gothia is spread ... to the east of Balaklava, reaching Sugdeya (Sudak). The capital of Gothia - Dori, Doras, Daras and, finally, Theodoro - was located on Babadag, a table-like limestone remnant, in terms of resembling a hand. This majestic mountain dwelling of the Goths was almost impregnable: only one road led to it. Englishman E.D. Clork wrote in 1800: "Nothing in any part of Europe surpasses the terrible majesty of that place." Therefore, it is no coincidence that the Mangup plateau later became the center of all kinds of research by the SS special forces, the researchers say, believing that the only purpose of such expeditions was to discover Gothic (German) roots. In order to subsequently turn the "Crimean Gothia" with the help of scientists and the media into a powerful ancient state of the Goths-Germans and justify the seizure of Crimea as the inheritance of eternal territories.

Of course, the history of the Reich confirms this with such facts. On July 17, 1941, Adolf Hitler signed a decree establishing an "Eastern Ministry". From September 1941, the Ukrainian Imperial Commissariat began to operate as part of the ministry; it included the Tauride General Commissariat, whose task was to turn the Crimea into a "German Riviera", as evidenced in the relevant directive of the Reichsleiter Alfred Rosenberg. The basis of his work was General plan"Ost", developed by the department of the Reichsfuehrer SS Himmler - the main department of imperial security, as well as the instructions and directives of Goering, collected on May 23, 1941 in the "Green folder", which was sent to various authorities related to the implementation of the "Eastern policy". In June 1942, Frauenfeld proposed to the Fuhrer a memorandum solving the Tyrolean problem that had arisen. According to his proposal, the German population should have been resettled in the Crimea, as “ready land”. South Tyrol- an area that, in accordance with the Saint-Germain Peace Treaty, was part of Italy since 1919.

Nazi ideologists managed to declare the Crimean land a historical territory, on which in the 3rd-8th centuries A.D. e. as if there was a state created by the Germanic tribes of the Goths. To confirm this theory, the special unit "Crimean command of the SS troops" intensively conducted archaeological research, and the search for objects of material culture is ready in museums and private collections.

But not only the historical background was of interest to the people of Heinrich Himmler, who oversaw the Ahnenerbe and, in fact, the entire science of the Third Reich. Reichsführer Himmler had long believed in magic, dreamed of finding the ancestral home of the Nordic race, and was fascinated by anthropology. He, like Gleb Ivanovich Bokiy, had a unique opportunity - through the arrests of magicians, astrologers, soothsayers, and so on. - collect an extensive library of magical manuscripts and artifacts. Over time, he became well versed in astrology, learned to read ancient runes, and was initiated into various occult secrets.

Not surprisingly, during the war, specialists from the Ahnenerbe (almost all of them were members of the SS) immediately went to the conquered territories to find and take out all the historical relics and any historical values ​​that were of interest to the institute. Among which were those that were related to the most ancient secrets of all mankind.
