In May of this year, the chief ufologist of Russia, coordinator of the Kosmopoisk association, Vadim Chernobrov, died under mysterious circumstances.

Independent sources believe that the cause of death was radiation in one of the anomalous zones visited by the researcher.

We will show what secrets Vadim Chernobrov managed to uncover, the answer to what events he was looking for all his life, what unexpected evidence of UFO activity in Russia he was able to collect and what he hid from journalists.

The first REN TV film in which I took part, enjoy watching.

Who is killing leading Russian ufologists

The famous researcher of anomalous phenomena Vadim Chernobrov died at the age of 52. Komsomolskaya Pravda finds out why Russian UFO researchers are passing away in the prime of life

THERE, ON UNKNOWN PATHS...

Chernobrov was rightly called the country's main ufologist. “Ufology” comes from the abbreviation “UFO” (Unidentified Flying Object). In Russian - “UFO”, Unidentified Flying Object. As an alternative science, it appeared in the late 40s of the last century, when the West started talking about “flying saucers” and aliens. In the USSR, the pioneer of ufology was the science fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev, who promoted the version of the famous Tunguska meteorite as an alien spaceship that had crashed.

It seems that there is not a single mysterious place in Russia where Chernobrov has not visited with his expedition in search of aliens, Bigfoot... He has traveled a lot around the world (see the “KP” dossier). He willingly talked about the results on TV. He has written two dozen books and many articles on the topic of the Unknown. By the way, his first article appeared 22 years ago in Komsomolskaya Pravda. About mysterious circles in a Russian wheat field. “Back then everyone already knew about British crop circles, but no one believed that they appeared in our country,” the researcher recalled. - Komsomolskaya Pravda published my article about this. It was reprinted by almost all publications, and not only domestic ones. It was a success!”

His death also became a mystery. Vadim was not even 52. Why did the tall, bearded traveler, full of energy, die so early?

“On May 18, the wonderful researcher and writer Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov passed away,” his colleague Nikolai SUBBOTIN, director of the Russian UFO Research Station (RUFORS), president of the Protohistory Association, and author of documentaries about the mysterious places of planet Earth on the REN TV channel, immediately responded on Facebook. -TV. - And again a strange feeling appeared, which first arose after the mysterious death of Yaroslavl ufologist Yuri Smirnov. He worked on the topic of implants and kept several such artifacts in his archive. Then Svetlana Zharnikova and Andrei Sklyarov left... It’s like an unknown and ruthless sniper is knocking out commanders from our ranks with precise shots...”

However! The people listed by Subbotin are truly iconic figures in Russian ufology, as well as alternative history. (See REFERENCE “KP” - “Victims of the mysterious Sniper.)

ALIEN CHIPS

I'm calling Nikolai.

What kind of mysterious “Sniper” is shooting our leading ufologists? From earthly intelligence agencies or aliens?

I reject the earthly conspiracy theory out of hand. I don’t suspect any killers from the secret world government, the US intelligence services, or Russia. Smirnov, Zharnikova, Sklyarov, Chernobrov have been engaged in their research for decades. If they really interfered with specific powerful people or the System, they would have been eliminated long ago.

Aliens remain!

There is an interesting theory; it is shared by a number of researchers. Cosmic Space itself - the World Mind, God, Higher Powers, everyone calls it in their own way! - protects humanity. So that it does not come to an understanding of certain things before it can “digest” them. You can't give a grenade to a monkey! She might blow herself up. So it is with humanity.

It turns out that these ufologists have approached the Truth, which it is still too early for unreasonable earthlings to know. Is that why the Supreme Intelligence “cleansed” them?

I repeat, there is such a version. Perhaps they simply came too early to the discovery of the global Universal laws of existence.

Or maybe everything is much simpler, Nikolai? You write about the mysterious death of Smirnov, who worked on the topic of implants and kept artifacts. These extraterrestrial things could well destroy the ufologist. Radiation, bacteria... By the way, what are his implants? Not implanted teeth, which are now advertised everywhere.

Smirnov called implants certain miniature sensors that he managed to extract from under the skin of people who claimed that they were abducted by a UFO. Yuri believed that with their help the aliens exercise some kind of control. Back then, in the 90s, it seemed fantastic. And now such technologies have entered our everyday life. Chips.

I talked with Yuri for a long time. We corresponded and exchanged materials. He sent me videotapes of his research and filming. He was reluctant to talk about the implants themselves. Sometimes it seemed to me that he was afraid to advertise this topic. I know, from the stories of his close friends, that the implants, along with other artifacts, disappeared from Smirnov’s apartment after his death. A collection of meteorites, which, according to some estimates, was very valuable, also disappeared.

COSMONAUT GRECHKO WAS SEARCHING FOR ALIENS

Then, perhaps, ordinary earthly criminals killed the ufologist for these collections at the age of 52. Zharnikova can be excluded from the list of mysterious victims due to her age; at 69 years old, many people get sick and die. But Sklyarov’s story is truly mystical. I was impressed by his books, films about ancient civilizations, and I was planning to do an interview with Andrei Yuryevich about the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. Didn’t have time... As his widow recalled: “Death was not unexpected. The problems appeared earlier. Always! after each expedition, the electronics in the house “just like that, for no reason” broke down!.. We got used to it, and the second time we started copying everything to disks in advance. They remembered the Strugatskys and smiled. A year ago I had a stroke on an expedition in Turkey. But he managed to find strength and fully recovered. In May, he suffered a heart attack after an accident in Armenia, in which several people were injured, including his son. Survived." In September, a second heart attack. Fatal. He was 55. Chernobrov’s early death also, it turns out, was not sudden. Now it turns out that he suffered from a blood disease for eight years.

Indeed, Sklyarov constantly exposed himself to danger. Going to places where there may be troubles for health and life itself. The same story with Chernobrov. He became seriously ill, although he hid his illness and continued his search.

Let me remind you that literally a month before Chernobrov, on April 8, 2017, cosmonaut Georgy Grechko died. (Heart failure. - Ed.) Perhaps from the same reason. After all, they were on the same expeditions.

Is it really possible that Georgy Mikhailovich Grechko, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, is a ufologist?

He was Russia's most active space explorer. The title of his book says a lot: “Cosmonaut No. 34. From a splinter to aliens.” Back in 1960, Grechko participated in the expedition of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev to search for traces of the alleged explosion of an alien spacecraft on Podkamennaya Tunguska. This version of the Tunguska meteorite was popular then. After that, the scientist joined the cosmonaut corps. He has collaborated with Kosmopoisk for more than 20 years. He called Chernobrov his friend, despite the large age difference. In 2006, together with Vadim, he organized an expedition to search for the “Cave of Moses” and the “white disc-shaped object” in Sinai in Egypt. In 2010 they studied the Chapel. One of the most anomalous zones in the Moscow region, where UFOs seem to land. This was Grechko’s last trip to the field. Although until his last days the astronaut was interested in searching for representatives of Extraterrestrial civilizations. On April 4, a report in Orel was devoted to Grechko’s ufological research. 4 days before his death.

It turns out that Grechko and Chernobrov received a serious blow to their health while searching for a UFO in the Chapel or in the Sinai Desert. Which led to their death...

This is just a guess based on a number of coincident facts. After all, no one seriously considers from a medical point of view what dangers ufologists expose themselves to when going to the so-called anomalous zones. Another problem is the lack of professional devices that can warn of negative impacts. You need to understand that many researchers in our country organize most of their expeditions at their own expense; there is no time to purchase expensive equipment.

DISCHARGE FROM "LIGHT CIRCLES"

The chapel in the Pavlovo-Posad district of the Moscow region has long been considered by the people as a lost, cursed, enchanted place. You ufologists call such places anomalous, geopathogenic zones. When I saw Chernobrov’s reports from such “zones” on TV, my first thought was: how is he not afraid to go into the abode of all sorts of devilry?

Devilry has nothing to do with it. There is always a risk factor on such expeditions of ending up on earthly anomalies: radiation, heavy metals, ancient bacteria clogged in caves...

In 2008, there was a similar situation in the RUFORS expedition to the Kola Peninsula. While exploring the mines in Apatity, we found ourselves in a radioactive radiation zone. My friend had very serious health problems for two years.

You yourself have worked a lot on the famous Molebka anomalous zone in the Perm region.

I am also an experimenter in life. For the time being (sighs). There are a lot of interesting anomalies in Molebka. Both natural and associated with unknown factors that I cannot yet explain. Maybe the UFO really left a legacy? Old-timers talked about “circles of light.”

Witches, or what?

Witches, elves, fairies - this is what people call circles, rings of mushrooms, often poisonous. There is such a natural phenomenon. Light circles are also a purely terrestrial geoanomaly, described in science, and quite rare. They look like a faint glow in the twilight in the form of circles with a diameter of several meters. It is believed that in this way static electricity accumulates in the soil layer. On one of the expeditions to Molebka I met such a “circle”. I wondered what would happen if I stepped on it? I walked into the very center and received a strong electric shock. I toiled on my feet for two years. The so-called “Contactee Disease”.

What disease?

At one time, the famous ufologist Emil Bachurin compiled a special classification, describing many negative aspects that can happen to a researcher in anomalous and geopathogenic zones, as well as during close contacts with UFOs. In fact, this was the first domestic instruction on ufological safety precautions. But I checked it on myself, and now I know that it is impossible to enter such a circle.

Near Molebka in the Urals there is the mysterious Dyatlov Pass, the mystery of which Komsomolskaya Pravda is trying to solve. It is also considered a dead place.

Many legends and sightings of unusual objects are indeed associated with this Pass. But I think it is not appropriate to call this zone a lost place. A more interesting object is located near the Dyatlov Pass - Mount Chistop. At its top in the 80s there was a military radar station (radar station). There were a lot more “misunderstandings” going on there. The military themselves constantly reported increased electromagnetic activity, which actually burned out sensitive equipment, and they repeatedly observed luminous balls and strange glows. And the Mansi themselves, the indigenous inhabitants of these places, warned that Chistop, like the Dyatlov Pass area, is a sacred and forbidden place. According to their legends, under Mount Chistop, giants sleep for the time being in ancient shelters.

Your fellow treasure hunters, who also love to wander through “lost places,” have a custom. Before picking up a coin or other treasures found in the ground, you must cross them and read a prayer to remove the spell of the previous owners. Do ufologists have similar protective rituals? Cross the same “circle of light” so that your legs don’t get shaky...

I honestly don’t know how well the trick of crossing an old coin picked up by treasure hunters works. This is more from the realm of fetishism. We rely more on science and instruments. If you see that the electromagnetic, gravitational, radioactive background is increased, you should turn on your mind and think - is it necessary to go to this place? Another thing is that we do not always protect ourselves. Because they are too passionate about the search process. Most often, the problem comes from the person himself, who incorrectly assesses the situation. And then conversations begin that the Dyatlov Pass is a lost place, aliens are abducting people on Molebka. Or they irradiate with harmful rays...

So, Vadim Chernobrov was ruined by risk? I was irradiated in an anomalous zone, the same Chapel, and developed leukemia...

The situation with Vadim cannot be called a thoughtless risk. This is a special category of people who put themselves on the altar of science without reserve. Even if it is an alternative science, not officially recognized today. But it will definitely be recognized, no matter tens or hundreds of years from now. Ufology is a direction that can provide brilliant discoveries. This is what Vadim did. He always moved forward, regardless of his health. Even close friends did not always understand the danger he exposed himself to when he investigated, for example, the radioactive Vitim fireball or UFO debris in the Sinai desert.

Chernobrov inspired many people. And I don’t know who can replace Vadim.

FROM THE KP DOSSIER

Vadim CHERNOBROV. The most famous ufologist and researcher of anomalous phenomena in post-Soviet Russia. Candidate of Technical Sciences, aerospace aircraft design engineer. Back in 1980, a student at the Moscow Aviation Institute created a group to study anomalous phenomena. It has grown into the All-Russian scientific research public association “Cosmopoisk” with branches in many regions of the Russian Federation. Organized expeditions to the areas where the Tunguska meteorite and the Vitim bolide fell, the Moleb anomalous zone, searched for Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat and “snow people” in Mountain Shoria, the “dragon” in Tver Lake Brosno, “flying saucers” in Russia and abroad, studied the Kyshtym “the alien Alyoshenka”, mysterious crop circles and much, much more. In 1999, he took part in the Komsomolskaya Pravda expedition to the mysterious Lake Labynkyr in Yakutia, in the waters of which, according to legend, lives a monster like the Loch Ness, nicknamed the “Labykyr devil.” Conducted experiments with a “time machine”. Died at 51.

VICTIMS OF THE MYSTERIOUS SNIPER

Ufologist Yuri SMIRNOV undertook the study of all anomalous phenomena, the origin of which academic science could not explain, the same poltergeist. His Center in Yaroslavl in the early 80s collected about 3 thousand stories of UFO eyewitnesses and contactees with extraterrestrial civilizations. In 1986, the KGB confiscated these documents. Smirnov turned to Gorbachev. The papers were returned and the Center was officially registered. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining. It seems that in 2000 one psychic predicted that he would die in 6 years. And so it happened.

... The neighbors called the police when they saw the door to Smirnov’s apartment ajar, which had never been noticed before. The arriving squad discovered the body. Smirnov was 52.

Svetlana ZHARNIKOVA- Candidate of Historical Sciences, ethnographer, full member of the Russian Geographical Society. She proved that the ancestral home of the Aryans (Indo-Europeans) was in the Russian North. Official science rejects this version. One of the interviews with her was called: “It’s too late to kill me!”

She passed away in 2015 at 69.

Andrey SKLYAROV- graduate of the legendary “Phystech” (faculty of aerophysics and space research), research physicist. Worked in the space industry. An active promoter of the version of paleocontact - the interaction of ancient earthly civilizations with aliens from outer space. I looked for traces of an ancient highly developed civilization in Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Turkey, Ethiopia, Easter Island, and other places on the planet. He wrote two dozen books, released documentaries, created the “Alternative History Laboratory”... Died last year. At 55!

EVGENY CHERNYKH

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. 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 on his page, left the following entry: I will forever remember your stories about travel, which I could listen to for hours, your books, which immersed me in some other world, your blue, blue eyes that look 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... 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 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 there are mountainous areas and partly steppe areas, 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, it is so. 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 the 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 of the world. 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, then, 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 this, 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 press a button and get a 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 am an optimist by nature. You rarely hear statements 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; there is a “great game” going on not only in politics, but also in science and technology. But, I hope, we will choose the right path - the further development of civilization, and not the fall. - Is there any fear that with the development of technology we will follow the path of apocalyptic films, for example “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. It's 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 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.

Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov is a famous Russian ufologist. Also known as a writer and researcher of anomalous phenomena. He was interested in mystical and paranormal phenomena. Author of numerous books and articles on this topic. He has repeatedly participated as a guest and expert in documentaries on this topic.

Biography of a ufologist

Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov was born in the small town of Zhirnovsk in the Volgograd region. He was born in 1965. and began to become interested in otherworldly phenomena since childhood, while studying at school. Teachers noted that from childhood he was a very inquisitive and inquisitive child. The teachers eagerly encouraged this interest.

Vadim first met a UFO when he was still in kindergarten. His father was a military pilot, so the family often traveled, often having to change their place of residence and military camps. Once, in a new place, dad drew Vadim’s attention to the sky. A spherical object hovered above their heads. A lot of people gathered, everyone was looking up without stopping. The Soviet interceptor quickly began to approach it, but in a matter of moments it picked up enormous speed and disappeared.

None of the experienced aviators who were around my father could explain this incident. Neither its nature, nor the physics of the object’s movement. Despite this, Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov even then realized that he had to be a pilot in order, at least for a moment, to be closer than others to solving this mystery. He followed in his father's footsteps. I just decided to connect my life not with aviation, but with space.

Higher education

After school, Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov first served in the USSR border troops, and then entered the Moscow Aviation Institute. He received a diploma from the Aerospace Faculty. It is worth noting that at that time UFO research was carried out at the university. Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov himself talks about them.

While still at the institute, the future ufologist organized a group of students united by common interests. They were all attracted to space, alien civilizations, everything mysterious, mystical and paranormal.

Founding of Cosmopoisk

Chernobrov Vadim Aleksandrovich is considered one of the founders of a public organization called “Cosmopoisk”. It is a non-academic community dedicated to the study of paranormal phenomena. The organization appeared on the basis of the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1980.

Cosmopoisk activists are studying reports of encounters with unidentified flying objects and poltergeists. They also conduct research in the field of cryptobiology (some believe that it deals with creatures that for some reason are considered fictional and non-existent). Also, members of the society regularly go to reports of crop circles, this is called cereology.

At the same time, the participants in “Cosmosearch” themselves are people from various fields of science, with very different education. These are local historians, astronomers, speleologists, futurologists, historians.

Activities of "Cosmopoisk"

Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov, whose biography was closely connected with futurology, was the main ideologist of this society, along with the science fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev.

In the mid-90s, Kompoisk became more active. In 1995, he organized a major international congress, in which the famous Swiss writer and film director Erich von Däniken, considered the founder of paleocosmonautics, took part. These are theories about alien civilizations visiting Earth.

In the 80-90s, company activists were massively engaged in collecting and systematizing data on the territory of Russia and the CIS. Expeditions were carried out to hard-to-reach areas, for example, to the fall zone of the Tunguska meteorite.

Unique experiments were carried out with installations of so-called “time machines”, stationary stands for studying the properties of electromagnetic fields.

Since 1997, Korenevsky meteorite congresses have been held annually in the Kaluga region, aimed at searching for the Korenevsky body.

Experiments were also organized to establish the reasons for the appearance of crop circles. Chernobrov took an active part in all these events.

Chernobrov's expeditions

One of the most famous took place together with the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" in 1999. Activists led by Chernobrov went to where they managed to use echo sounders to record objects moving at great depths at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour. Moreover, one of them reached 18 meters in length. It was then that talk began about the modern Loch Ness monster.

In 2003, Kosmopoisk went on an expedition to the Irkutsk region. Here the site of the fall of the nucleus of a small comet, known as the Vitim fireball, to Earth was studied.

In 2004, researchers tried to find traces of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat.

Alyoshenka

Chernobrov Vadim Aleksandrovich, whose books were once published in huge editions, devoted a lot of time to studying Kyshtymsky Aleshenka. In 2004, he even organized a special expedition to the Chelyabinsk region.

The mummified remains of Aleshenka were discovered in 1996 near the small town of Kyshtym. Now only photographs and video footage of the corpse of an unknown creature, whose species identity has not been established, are available.

The fact of its discovery is surrounded by many mystical details, which, according to skeptics, look like urban legends.

He claimed that he knew where Alyoshenka and Vadim Chernobrov were. Reviews about his research received the most contradictory, but the ufologist himself was sure that, firstly, these were the remains of an alien. And, secondly, his body was taken to a sect. In it he is worshiped as an idol. Chernobrov claimed that there were attempts to ransom the alien, but each time they failed.

Books by a ufologist

The best books by Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov are well known to all his fans. These are "Predictions of the future. Versions, prophecies, hypotheses", "Encyclopedia of Ufology", "Chronicles of UFO visits", "Secrets of parallel worlds", "Moscow. Phenomena, anomalies, miracles", "Guide", "Encyclopedia of mysterious phenomena", " UFO.

They describe the most fascinating and mysterious expeditions he visited.

Mysterious Moscow

Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov, all of whose books are in-depth studies of the paranormal phenomena of the world, paid more attention to the mysterious side of the Russian capital. One of his most widely read books, “The Newest Encyclopedia of Mysterious Places in Moscow and the Moscow Region,” is about this.

It describes in detail all the anomalous and mystical places that can only be found in the capital and the Moscow region. From it you will find out in which Moscow districts UFOs most often land. Where did the story about Bigfoot in Kolomenskoye come from and who shot him? Positive or negative energy is concentrated in your neighborhood.

What kind of secrets does the Moscow land keep, on which your dacha stands and on whose bones the Ostankino Tower was built. Like the most amazing and exciting walks. All this is in the most complete encyclopedia of paranormal phenomena in the capital.

All the information was collected by Vadim Chernobrov himself, examining numerous reports of mysterious phenomena together with activists of the Cosmopoisk society. The annotation to one of the publications states that Chernobrov is a prominent scientist and design engineer who developed projects for the Mir space station and the Proton launch vehicle. True, there is no such data in his official biography.

But there is no doubt that he is a major researcher of natural phenomena, as well as a writer and traveler who has published about 20 books devoted to the study of mysticism and possible visits of aliens to Earth.

Personal life

Vadim Aleksandrovich Chernobrov, biography, whose family is well known to numerous fans of his work, met his future wife at school, when he was in the 8th grade. She is his fellow countryman, also from the Volgograd region. Chernobrov fell in love with her at first sight, but she paid attention to him only a year later. At that time they were together in a summer labor and recreation camp.

Vadim charmed Irina with her erudition, intelligence and initiative. He could talk about almost everything in the world, it seemed that he knew the answer to any question.

When he returned from serving in the border troops, they got married. Irina graduated from the Volgograd Institute of Arts and moved to Moscow with her husband.

The most difficult thing, according to Irina, was to constantly be apart, since Vadim often went on long expeditions. The spouses traveled to some of them together.

Eventually, Irina got a job as a librarian. They have two children - daughter Daria became an economist, and son Andrei a historian.

On the night of May 18, 2017, at the age of 52, Vadim Chernobrov died. He died after a long illness.

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 stories about travel, 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 looked into 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.
