You know, when you are captured by the topic
like it or not, you get to know things.
This was the woman
who requested me to write the history of this place.
...
She then was a head of the
administration and
she asked me to write the history.
So I started writing because of her request
and the memoirs by Karpov then
were handed over to me and they said to draw from it.
I studied it, they are from 1967.
And then having read them I
visitied all the old people in
the region. I visited them in Tioply, I went to
the mines in Djibariki and met people there.
I also went to Topolinoe. Have you been there? Have you seen Adychansky passage?
Have you been there?
Did you go at night?
...
Did you see the steep passages?
They are so scary... and by the way there are camps
have you seen them?
...
Did you take photos?
Here I have a photo.
...
Sasha Smolyanov, my student, his
farther was a journalist
he passed away, and he took these photos in Topolinoe.
It's short of Topolinoe
you went there. it's a camp
Is it the one you saw?
...
...
...
And this photo was taken by a journalist then.
Smolyanov.
It was long time ago. He passed away long ago.
He was a war veteran.
...

All of them are gone by now. They were taken down.
Very few, generally very few
remained. And the camps were
in Djibariki Khaya.
There was a mine and also
hmm, well, they were on the island called
Bordoy. For women.
...
...
There were two camps for women, Malinovka
which was on 125km and this one
in Bordoy. All other camps were for men.
In fact every
10-12 km there were camps
starting from Khandyga. And
I also studied the history of
Alyaska - Siberia. I know that
at 288 km of the Magadan highway
they found a plane, remains of a plane
that was flown
from Alyaska to
Krasnoyarks. So, it happened so that
at 288 km
tourists found that plane.
It was in the mountains and it turned out,
according to the documents they found out that
that very plane crashed in 1943 and
then they found out the names of the pilots,
and in Khanduga they raised
a monument and their remains were taken
there. I was studying it and
I searched for their relatives in the whole Russia.
Rememeber I would write to the Ministry of Defence and
I wrote to...
the Archives of the Ministry of Denfence.
I got a reply that...
actually there were two planes.
One crashed and the other witnessed that crash.
The crew from the second plane had survived but the one from the first
had perished. Then they informed
Moscow and from Moscow
