In Moscow, in the early morning of May 18, 2017, the most famous Russian expert on extraterrestrial civilizations died Vadim Chernobrov.

The ufologist died at the age of 52. His death was the result of a long, serious illness, relatives say.

The Kosmopoisk association also reported the death of its coordinator on its social media page.

Early this morning (about 3:30) in Moscow, at the age of 52, Vadim Chernobrov, the leader and ideological inspirer of Cosmopoisk, died in Moscow at the age of 52, the message says. “Vadim, we will never forget you! And your work will live on.” !

Some fans of Chernobrov are confident that the ufologist died due to a high dose of radiation, which he “picked up” in one of the many anomalous zones to which he traveled. Journalists who saw drastic changes in the ufologist’s appearance had the same thoughts.

Recently, when the country’s chief ufologist came to the KP-Kuban office, journalists immediately noticed that Chernobrov’s famous thick beard had thinned. They asked him if he had entered some anomalous zone.

Don’t worry so much, she will soon be the same as before,” Vadim Chernobrov replied then. - Yes, I travel a lot, and my trips are not at all tourist trips; I go to various anomalous places. But I'll get my thick beard back soon, don't worry.

He carefully hid the fact that the Cosmopoisk coordinator was seriously ill. Always smiling, cheerful, active. He loved his work very much and also loved to talk a lot about it.

Reference

Vadim Chernobrov. Born in 1965, in the Volgograd region, in a small garrison at an Air Force base.

Studied at Moscow Aviation Institute(MAI) with a degree in aerospace engineer.

During his studies, he founded a project to study anomalous phenomena, including UFOs. In 1980, a small student group was created, which later grew into the Cosmopoisk project.

Vadim Chernobrov has visited dozens of expeditions around the world. He is the author of more than 30 books and encyclopedias, and was a frequent guest on television projects.

The death of Vadim Chernobrov was reported by his son Andrei. The entry on his father’s page left by Andrei prompted hundreds of messages of condolences and regrets about what happened. Andrey himself already left the following entry on his page:

I will forever remember your travel stories, which I could listen to for hours, your books, which immersed me in some other world, your blue, blue eyes that looked like the whole Universe! Your belief in space flights and in the fact that in the billions of stars of our Universe we are not alone!

Thank you for teaching me to think more broadly. Just thank you! I believe that as long as the memory is alive, the person is alive, so you will definitely live forever! Perhaps the time has not yet come for your discoveries and inventions, and it will definitely come...

- Where are UFOs spotted most often in Kuban?

If you make a map of the frequency of UFO appearances without sorting all the messages, you can easily see that most often, the so-called UFOs appear over large cities, resorts and where people with phones and cameras in their hands are most likely to be on the streets. And this is Krasnodar and all the Kuban resorts. This idea exists among novice ufologists, narrow-minded programs and yellow publications. They immediately form a chain: yeah, there were a lot of messages from the Krasnodar region. This means that aliens are interested in Kuban. What attracts them? Probably wheat, sunflowers, beautiful southern girls (approx. laughs).

In fact, UFOs do not at all tend to resorts, megacities and generally places where there are a lot of people. And the most active places in Kuban and Russia are precisely the most sparsely populated areas. In the Kuban these are mountainous areas and partly steppe, closer to the Rostov region.

- Who sees UFOs more often, probably astronauts and climbers?

Astronauts, yes. Moreover, many cosmonauts periodically take part in our expeditions. This is Grechko, Leonov, Lonchakov. Actually, the cosmonauts were the founders of Cosmopoisk. Our public organization was created by Sevastyanov, Beregovoy, Grechko.

But this does not mean that any of you cannot see a UFO. Therefore, in addition to cosmonauts and members of Cosmopoisk expeditions, unidentified flying objects are often seen by shepherds, hunters, mushroom pickers, and tourists who find themselves far from megacities.

- What do you think UFOs want from us and why have they still not made direct contact with us?

I believe that they are neither good nor bad. They are different. And definitely more highly developed. And they don’t want, as they show in Hollywood films, to enslave and destroy us. If they wanted to, they would have done it long ago without any problems. Our weapons and control systems are not comparable. It's the same as if ants decided to attack people. If a person wants to lay asphalt through an anthill, he will do it. True, we can also watch the ants. Also, extraterrestrial civilizations are watching us, like naturalists, swarming in the human anthill.

So there is one-way contact between a highly developed civilization and a lower one as an observation. And therefore it occurs according to the law of the more highly developed side.

- It’s a shame to feel like ants!

Whether you like it or not, this is how it is. I don't like the role of an insect either. But, sorry. What did humanity do to deserve another? We turn on TV news any day. And we receive such a stream of negativity from all corners of the world! And the animals, look. Either we destroy everything that moves or moves, or we eat it. We, as a civilization, have not yet come into existence. When we learn to live in peace, be friends and love, then they will make contact with us. In the meantime, as naturalists, highly developed extraterrestrial civilizations will watch us from the sidelines and write works on the topic “Psychology of wild earthlings.” This is my opinion.

- Everyone knows the story of the Kyshtym “Alyoshenka”. Are such cases common?

Similar creatures have been encountered several times in the world. But in Russia this is the only episode. According to the working version, a UFO landed in Kyshtym 19 years ago. By the way, also in June. And let me remind you that “Alyoshenka” was not alone in Kyshtym. According to eyewitness accounts, 4 to 5 such creatures are mentioned. But since only one, who was called “Alyoshenka,” was killed. I lean towards this version. He himself did not die. Four others could have survived.

Based on the events in Kyshtym, the film “Extraterrestrial” was made. I partially advised the film crew. The film, although fictional, was based on real events. Although the director changed one letter there. In the film it’s not “Kyshtym dwarf”, but “Kashtym”. But the heroes are prototypes of real ones. There is a hero there - ufologist Vadim, and I can see my personality in him. True, the director sinned against the truth. At the end of the tape, Vadim is abducted by a UFO (smiles)

- Would you really like to be kidnapped?

Yes, even now, I’ve been ready for this for a long time! But let's get back to the film. With the exception of this moment and a few others, the scenario is plausible. The film is not for wide release. But you can find it on the Internet and watch it. I will add that the end to this story has not yet been set. I hope that future expeditions will reveal new secrets of “Alyoshenka” to us.

- Do you support the theory that life on earth originated from space?

Undoubtedly. Moreover, ice comets that periodically fall to the ground, according to my calculations, bring new microorganisms that provoke epidemics. Such cases occurred in 2002 in Russia, in the Irkutsk region. When several fragments of the cometary “Vitim” body fell.

Where they fell, the SARS epidemic arose. The connection was clear. The closer to the epicenter of the fall, the larger the outbreak of the disease was recorded; the virus got into the water. I was not silent. He talked a lot about this. But here the question smoothly moves from the scientific plane to the economic and political plane. It was easier than to import water and say that Chernobrov came up with everything, he is not a virologist. No, of course, by profession I am an aerospace aircraft specialist.

But I can put two and two together: an icy cometary body (meteorite) fell, and the next day the first cases of the disease were recorded in nearby villages. And after 7 days, when water entered the water intake, kidney disease began. And they lasted just as long until the ice on the river stood up. Then there is a lull. The ice has melted - a new round of diseases. For me this connection is obvious. And I'm ready to talk about dozens of other episodes. For example, in Peru in 2008. And I will continue to study these phenomena.

- Were there any cases when the authorities and the public listened to your opinion?

For many years now, including in the Kuban and Caucasus, I have been trying to save ancient stone disks for science and history. They are periodically found in different parts Sveta. They are shaped like a classic flying saucer. The photos are saved, but the discs then disappear.

Maybe they are then simply destroyed and sold. But I would like them to end up in museums. And for the first time this happened. True, not yet in Kuban, but in Kemerovo. We found the disk in a coal mine. I negotiated for a month with the management of the local museum and officials. And today the disk has not disappeared. And it became part of the museum exhibition.

- Which layer of sciences would you classify ufology as?

In short, of course, this is natural science. Because there is still an object of study, albeit unidentified. It seems to many that I am such a preacher of ufological knowledge. But I am not one. They call me a ufologist. For me this is not a dirty word, I am not offended. But I never called myself that. Because although I am engaged in UFO research, this is a small part of my activity. The correct name is a researcher of anomalous phenomena or hidden processes. That is, “cryptophysicist”. I came up with the term.

And I’ll probably surprise you now. In fact, I think badly about ufology. I am often asked whether you would like your children or grandchildren to study ufology. Never! I lead all my activities towards one goal - so that ufology does not exist. This is not a paradox. Ufology is the science of unidentified objects. And if he is identified, ufology will automatically cease to exist. So why dream about the eternity of this science? I dream that we will know the truth. And ufology disappeared tomorrow.

- By the way, about anomalous phenomena. What do you think about psychics and the show “Battle of Psychics”?

In any profession, you will not deny it, there are always masters of their craft. Of course, there are such people among psychics. "Battle of Psychics", although this is more of a show. I took part as a jury member in the very first programs. At that time, the game and certain behavior patterns had not yet been established.

And I saw talent. And, by the way, they later took part in our expeditions or helped us. But extrasensory perception is a subtle matter. This is not a computer - you pressed a button and got the result. It all depends on the situation and mood. Therefore, psychics cannot offer a 100% result.

- What do you think awaits humanity in the future?

I'm an optimist by nature. You rarely hear statements from me like, “when I was young, children were more obedient and the water was waterier.” Although that’s how it was. But I understand that history is not linear, there are peaks and valleys. Today, in my opinion, humanity is at a crossroads, going “ big game“not only in politics, but also in science and technology. But I hope we choose the right path - further development civilization, not fall.

Is there a fear that as technology advances, we will go the way of apocalyptic films such as The Terminator?

Customers of new technologies are, as a rule, military departments. But there is no contradiction here. It is possible to have advanced weapons without starting a war. And, teleports, the development of which is reported in the media today, should be launched for peaceful purposes, say, in this way to get rid of traffic jams.

You go on expeditions, write books, give lectures. Which profession do you most associate yourself with - teacher, historian, scientist, writer?

In each specific case, I try on one of these roles, and I like it. I’m not even offended when they call me a ufologist and a plate hunter. In general, in life I am a person who satisfies my curiosity. And there is nothing wrong with that, because at the same time I satisfy the curiosity of thousands of readers or viewers who will not go on the expedition themselves, but are interested in hearing about the unique phenomena that occur on our planet.

- You can call yourself a believer. And who or what do you believe in?

I am a person who adheres to dogmas that are the same in all religions - “thou shalt not kill,” “thou shalt not steal,” etc., without fear of retribution for their failure to comply in the form of hell. Therefore, my principles are much more honest than those who live correctly only out of fear of punishment from above.

And I would like our civilization to be reasonable and do good deeds, not because someone big and scary will punish it otherwise. And any other course of action - murder, war - should be excluded, because it is reasonable. It is not religion that we need, but reason. This is my opinion.

- You have encountered the inexplicable more than once. Is there a case that still amazes you?

My position: the mystical does not exist. There are just things that we need at the moment difficult to explain. What was mystical yesterday has become everyday gadgets today. What was fabulous, like an apple that rolls on a saucer and shows overseas shores, today we call the Internet. Mysticism is the limit of the accessibility of our knowledge. Science is reality.

Well, there are still many unexplained cases. The earliest I remember is from kindergarten. The teacher was horrified when, while walking in the middle of a completely sunny day, she noticed a giant dark purple cloud disk. We were immediately taken away. And for a long time I spied on this disc from the group’s window. This picture remains in my memory forever. What is this - a UFO, a tornado, I still don’t know. Probably, then, unconsciously, I decided that I was interested in such phenomena.

You yourself have probably lost count of your expeditions. Been to anomalous zones, they said that they found themselves in situations where they could freeze, die from the heat, or drown. And yet you continue to travel every year to the most dangerous places on our planet. Is there really no sense of fear or self-preservation?

There is fear, but there is a healthier sense of danger, which should not normal person atrophy. And I have it developed, it does not allow me to take rash actions. But I can't sit at home. But simply, when an unusual situation occurs, I swear - be sure to take matches on the next outing or not go into the cave without spare batteries for a flashlight. After all, almost all cases of death of people on campaigns and expeditions are connected precisely with the situation - “I forgot to take something important, or something let me down.”

I'll give you an example. It happened in the Trans-Baikal Territory, six hundred kilometers from Chita. We went with a guide, he showed us the anomalous craters. We examined them. And then the man remembers another one, quite fresh, and he hasn’t been there yet and offers to take us to it. We first went by truck. And then walk for two hours through the taiga. The weather is sunny, the day is fine. I am the commander of the expedition, we had 15 people, we were going light!

Classic case. This is how most Robinsonades begin. As a result, we walked not two, but four hours. And they began to worry, and after another half hour the guide admitted that he was lost. We spent the night on the spruce branches, warming each other and listening to the howls of wild animals. And we got out of the forest only in the morning. This was a master class on survival without tents, matches or food.

- Vadim, what age can stop you, and you say - that’s enough hiking, I want a warm home life?

How much health is enough? Now I'm over fifty. Although, I’ll tell you a secret, every time at a family council my wife and children dissuade me from the next expedition. But I believe a person develops as long as he has curiosity. Physiologists, by the way, have calculated that there are few people on Earth who are inquisitive to such an extent that they are willing to risk their own skin, only seven percent. But without such people, no matter how society treats them, there would be no discoveries and progress. I really hope that I am one of those seven percent.

- Do you have time for hobbies, interests, besides expeditions?

In winter, I travel less often than at other times of the year. That's why I enjoy visiting exhibitions. Fortunately, cultural life in Moscow is vibrant. The exhibitions are especially interesting fine arts, because I try to draw myself, I illustrate my books. I look at contemporary artists with good envy. Realists command special respect.

Funeral service for V.A. Chernobrov will take place on Saturday at 10:40-11:10 (05/20/17).

Early this morning (about 3:30) in Moscow, at the age of 52, Vadim Chernobrov, the leader and ideological inspirer of Cosmopoisk, died in Moscow at the age of 52, the message says. “Vadim, we will never forget you! And your work will live on.” !
Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov (06/17/1965 - 05/18/2017).
The site "" expresses deep condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
Vadim Alexandrovich's son about his father:
I will forever remember your travel stories, which I could listen to for hours, your books, which immersed me in some other world, your blue, blue eyes that looked like the whole Universe! Your belief in space flights and in the fact that in the billions of stars of our Universe we are not alone! Thank you for teaching me to think more broadly. Just thank you! I believe that as long as the memory is alive, the person is alive, so you will definitely live forever! Perhaps the time has not yet come for your discoveries and inventions, and it will definitely come...
Vadim Chernobrov himself came to the Krasnodar region more than once, where he explored mysterious crop circles. Almost every summer, pictograms appear in the Novokubansky district of Kuban, which ufologists also call the place of extraterrestrial civilizations. On one of his visits, Vadim Chernobrov also stopped by the press center of the Kuban Komsomolskaya Pravda. Then he began his communication not with mysterious circles at all, but said that he published his first article in Komsomolskaya Pravda:
“Back then everyone already knew about British crop circles, but no one believed that they were appearing in our country.” And twenty years ago, Komsomolskaya Pravda published my article about this,” Vadim Chernobrov recalled in June 2015. - It was a success! The text was reprinted by almost all publications, and not only domestic ones. Then, by the way, my study of crop circles began.

And when the country’s chief ufologist came to KP-Kuban, journalists immediately noticed that Chernobrov’s famous thick beard had thinned. And they even asked him if he had ended up in some anomalous zone.
“Don’t worry so much, she will soon be the same as before,” Vadim Chernobrov replied then. - Yes, I travel a lot, and my trips are not at all tourist trips; I go to various anomalous places. But I'll get my thick beard back soon, don't worry.

And he carefully hid the fact that the Cosmopoisk coordinator was seriously ill. Always smiling, cheerful, active. He loved his work very much and also loved to talk a lot about it. He said that in the Krasnodar region a certain foundation, which was secretly engaged in the study of mysterious pictograms, offered him cooperation. But Chernobrov did not agree.
-I refused, because I would have to carry out the work without advertising, in silence. But people should know about everything we find,” a ufologist told Komsomolskaya Pravda. “This foundation also orders fakes.” It seems to me that this is being done in order to set us on the wrong trail. There was a similar fake in the Novokubansky district, and those who drew the circles were paid. I won’t say exactly how much. Those who took on this work told me about this some time later. This is usually offered to students.

In 2015, crop circles appeared in Adygea. Seven pictograms, and all of different diameters: six and nine meters, some reaching up to 13 meters. And in the center there is a deep funnel.
Then ufologists simply could not get enough of it. For the first time in so many years, law enforcement agencies helped them!
“This is the first time in the entire history of our organization,” said the head of Cosmopoisk, Vadim Chernobrov. Chernobrov had no doubt that the crop circles in Adygea were the work of (or whatever) extraterrestrial civilizations. - Usually the police don’t help us with our work at all. And then they filmed it from a drone, and they began to collect material. They had videos and photos even before we did. At first, however, we studied this phenomenon separately, but then we began to work together.
The police carried out the check as expected: they interviewed witnesses, carefully photographed everything, and collected all the materials. The main eyewitness was the local watchman, who guards the field. But in the end, they didn’t start making a UFO case, because there was no statement from the owner of the field.

Help Vadim Chernobrov. Born in 1965, in the Volgograd region, in a small garrison at an Air Force base. He studied at the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) with a degree in aerospace engineer. During his studies, he founded a project to study anomalous phenomena, including UFOs. In 1980, a small student group was created, which later grew into the Cosmopoisk project.

I believe that as long as the memory is alive, the person is alive, so you will definitely live forever! Perhaps the time has not yet come for your discoveries and inventions, and it will definitely come... On May 18, the website of the Kuban News newspaper published excerpts from the most interesting interviews with Vadim Chernobrov. - Where are UFOs spotted most often in Kuban? - If you make a map of the frequency of UFO appearances, without sorting all the messages, you can easily see that most often, the so-called UFOs appear over large cities, resorts and where people with phones and cameras in their hands can most often be on the streets.

And any other course of action - murder, war - should be excluded, because it is reasonable. It is not religion that we need, but reason. This is my opinion. - You have encountered the inexplicable more than once. Is there a case that still amazes you? - My position: the mystical does not exist. There are just things that are difficult for us to explain at the moment. What was mystical yesterday has become everyday gadgets today. What was fabulous, like an apple that rolls on a saucer and shows overseas shores, today we call the Internet. Mysticism is the limit of the accessibility of our knowledge. Science is reality. Well, there are still many unexplained cases. The earliest I remember is from kindergarten. The teacher was horrified when, while walking in the middle of a completely sunny day, she noticed a giant dark purple cloud disk. We were immediately taken away. And for a long time I spied on this disc from the group’s window. This picture remains in my memory forever. What is this - a UFO, a tornado, I still don’t know. Probably, then, unconsciously, I decided that I was interested in such phenomena. - You yourself have probably lost count of your expeditions. They visited anomalous zones and said that they found themselves in situations where they could freeze, die from the heat, or drown. And yet you continue to travel every year to the most dangerous places on our planet. Is there really no sense of fear or self-preservation? - There is fear, and there is a healthier sense of danger, which should not atrophy in a normal person. And I have it developed, it does not allow me to take rash actions. But I can't sit at home. But simply, when an unusual situation occurs, I swear - be sure to take matches on the next outing or not go into the cave without spare batteries for a flashlight. After all, almost all cases of death of people on campaigns and expeditions are connected precisely with the situation - “I forgot to take something important, or something let me down.” I'll give you an example. It happened in the Trans-Baikal Territory, six hundred kilometers from Chita. We went with a guide, he showed us the anomalous craters. We examined them. And then the man remembers another one, quite fresh, and he hasn’t been there yet and offers to take us to it. We first went by truck. And then walk for two hours through the taiga. The weather is sunny, the day is fine. I am the commander of the expedition, we had 15 people, we were going light! Classic case. This is how most Robinsonades begin. As a result, we walked not two, but four hours. And they began to worry, and after another half hour the guide admitted that he was lost. We spent the night on the spruce branches, warming each other and listening to the howls of wild animals. And we got out of the forest only in the morning. This was a master class on survival without tents, matches or food. - Vadim, what age can stop you, and you say – that’s enough hiking, I want a warm home life? - How much health is enough? Now I'm over fifty. Although, I’ll tell you a secret, every time at a family council my wife and children dissuade me from the next expedition. But I believe that a person develops as long as he has curiosity. Physiologists, by the way, have calculated that there are few people on Earth who are inquisitive to such an extent that they are willing to risk their own skin, only seven percent. But without such people, no matter how society treats them, there would be no discoveries and progress. I really hope that I am one of those seven percent. - Do you have time for hobbies, interests, besides expeditions? - In winter, trips happen to me less often than at other times of the year. That's why I enjoy visiting exhibitions. Fortunately, cultural life in Moscow is vibrant. Exhibitions of fine art are especially interesting, because I myself try to draw and illustrate my books. I look at contemporary artists with good envy. Realists command special respect.

Russia's chief ufologist Vadim Chernobrov told why he decided to devote his life to solving the unknown, searching for relatives of the Kyshtym dwarf and about simple human happiness.

Vadim Aleksandrovich was born and lived until graduation from school in the regional center of the Zhirnovsky district of the Volgograd region. At school, the inquisitive boy became a favorite of teachers, among whom were three honored teachers.

Vadim saw a UFO for the first time when he was a preschooler.

– My father was a military pilot, we often traveled. I remember in yet another military town people crowded together, pointing at the sky where a spherical object was hovering. Our interceptor flew up to it, but in a matter of moments the object picked up speed and disappeared.

None of the adult experienced military men could explain the nature, the physics of the movement of this object... But the pilot is the person who was closest to the UFO then, even if only for a moment. And from an early age I decided to follow in my father’s footsteps - to connect my life with aviation, only space.

Therefore, when the time came to choose a profession, having served in the border troops, Vadim Chernobrov entered the Moscow Aviation Institute at the aerospace department. UFO research was conducted at the MAI base.

The current “Cosmopoisk” is a public organization that includes thousands of researchers of the unknown different countries peace. At the same time, work on the study of unidentified objects was coordinated by the USSR government. The main goal there were technologies.

Our interlocutor got involved in the study of UFOs at the MAI base. After graduating from high school, Vadim Aleksandrovich got a job at the State Research and Production Center named after M.V. Khrunichev, continuing to conduct research at the Moscow Aviation Institute.

– This is the country's leading enterprise for the creation of aerospace technology. I am pleased to know that I made a feasible contribution to the development of the enterprise. For example, while working on the creation of the Mir station, I took part in the work on the building. I worked on the body part, including when creating the Proton rocket, which, by the way, is still the most load-lifting rocket in the world.

In 1980, the Cosmopoisk organization was created on the basis of the Moscow Aviation Institute. At the same time, in the early 80s, Vadim Chernobrov witnessed several more UFO sightings.

– I saw the same object several times: a large triangular shape, approximately 80 x 80 x 50 meters in size. It landed on the ground, and as an aerospace specialist, I guarantee that this is not our or an American object.

At the planting site, the grass was scorched, then they tried to plow this place in the field, but the engines of the equipment stopped. After a few years, it was still possible, bushes grew there, and then trees. They are still growing, the site still has the shape of a triangle, it is located in the Medveditskaya ridge.

By the way, MAI had an open address to which any citizen of the USSR who witnessed a UFO could write a letter to help the researchers. Letters came in bags, some of them were even published, but only in small regional newspapers...

“Foreigners did not read regional newspapers,” explains Chernobrov. – And federal publications denied the existence of UFOs, claiming that serious people live in the USSR and they are not interested in any flying saucers. The goal was to make the West believe it.

Where is Alyoshenka?

In 1989, Mikhail Gorbachev signed a decree according to which it was possible to openly publish data about UFOs in central newspapers.

Work was still in full swing at the Moscow Aviation Institute, but 1991 came, and then 1992. Funding has stopped. But Kosmopoisk did not disappear; it continued to exist as a public organization.

Over the years, many sensational materials have fallen into the hands of researchers. But Vadim Chernobrov still calls “the case of the Kyshtym dwarf Alyosha” one of the most mysterious.

– We have received genetic material, it has been studied, this creature is of extraterrestrial origin. The alien's body is now in the sect. They worship him like an idol. There was an attempt to ransom the alien, but the adherents broke the agreement several times...

There are four creatures on earth similar to the Kyshtym dwarf. Two of them died, two are believed to be alive. We are searching for all creatures, including continuing attempts to redeem Alyosha’s body.

Vadim Chernobrov's wife is his fellow countryman.

“I first saw Vadim in eighth grade, but I noticed him a year later, when we were in a labor and rest camp,” recalls wife Irina. “He charmed me with his reading, erudition, and curiosity. It seems he could find the answer to any question. We got married when he returned from the army, I graduated from the Volgograd Institute of Arts, and moved to Moscow.

According to Irina, it was difficult to experience separation, because Vadim Alexandrovich was constantly on scientific expeditions. For some time, Irina traveled with her husband.

“Over time, I learned to persevere through my husband’s long expeditions. It's the little things in life. We have different interests, but we complement each other,” the woman smiles. – Next year we will celebrate a pearl wedding.

Now Irina works as a librarian. The family has two children. Daughter Daria received the profession of economist, and son Andrei is a historian.

Reference. Kyshtym dwarf

In the summer of 1996, in the regional center of Kyshtym near Chelyabinsk, a local resident found a strange humanoid creature in the cemetery - 25 cm tall, with a pointed pumpkin head, a slit instead of lips, and sharp claws on her fingers. The woman took him home and named him Alyosha. She fed him sweets and sausage. The alien lived among people for about two weeks.

Then the owner of the “foundling,” Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina, was once again admitted to a special hospital. While she was not home, the creature died. There are many witnesses to how Prosvirina walked on the street with a strange creature. Alyosha’s body was examined by both pathologists (they recognized the creature as an embryo) and police officers (there was live video footage). And then the body disappeared; a few years later information appeared that it was in the possession of sectarians.

Chernobrov, Vadim Aleksandrovich (born 1965, Volgograd region) - ufologist, writer, researcher of anomalous phenomena. A very versatile freak.

Biography

Born in 1965 in the garrison of one of the Air Force bases in the Volgograd region. He studied at the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI), at the Aerospace Faculty, majoring in aerospace engineer.

During his studies, he founded a project to study anomalous phenomena, including UFOs. In 1980, a small student group was founded, which later grew into the Cosmopoisk project. The group began its research activities with hikes in the central regions of Russia, and later expeditions were carried out throughout Russia and abroad.

Activity

The activities of Vadim Chernobrov, as well as the entire Cosmopoisk organization, are quite broad: he is not limited to ufology and tries to understand everything related to anomalous phenomena, even if the fact of the event itself is very doubtful. Quite often it relies on the opinions of various unreliable eyewitnesses; very often uses his own speculations.

It must be assumed that Vadim Aleksandrovich himself is not a charlatan and sincerely believes in what he is talking about, however, the combination of enormous energy aimed at collecting rumors and fables and an insufficiently critical view of things gives rise to extremely dubious scientific significance. It is also fair to note that it would be wrong to call Chernobrov’s activities and works anti-scientific. The activity of studying anomalous phenomena in itself is quite scientific and worthy of praise, but the level of research leaves much to be desired.

Experiments to create a time machine

Vadim Chernobrov also claims in some of his books that, together with the Cosmopoisk organization, he has been conducting experiments on building a time machine for a long time, and some of them were even allegedly crowned with success.

Books

He is the author of many books on ufological and mystical topics. Among them:

• Encyclopedia of Mysterious Places (2 volumes, “EZM of the Earth” + “EZM of Russia”, 2004, V. Chernobrov)
• Encyclopedia of mysterious phenomena (V. Chernobrov, “Veche”, 2007)
• A series of books about Time.
• Encyclopedia of Ufology (V. Chernobrov, M., “Astrel”, “Ast”, 2002)
• Formula of love (V. Chernobrov, E. Golovina M., “Generation”, 2006)

In addition, he is often published in the media and appears on popular television programs of low scientific quality.
