YAKUT HUNTER FINDS A CACHE IN THE UPPER ALDAN: INSIDE ARE "OBJECT KORSHUN" CRATES
The story of Yakut hunter Nikifor Stepanovich Tyrylgin from the village of Khandyga, who hunted sable and Siberian weasel for thirty-five years in the upper reaches of the Aldan River, in the Oymyakon spurs. In March 1993, while tracking a wolverine, he deviated thirty kilometers from his usual route and came across a rocky outcrop with an artificial opening—the crevice was filled with three layers of logs. Nikifor Stepanovich dismantled the upper layer. Inside the cave were twenty-eight wooden boxes, lined with tin, each with a stenciled inscription: "Object Korshun. Store until further notice. 1956." The boxes were dry, the tin clean, and free of corrosion. Nikifor Stepanovich closed the passage and left. A month later, he reported to the district, and a week later, a helicopter arrived with three civilians. What was kept for 37 years in a rock shelter at the junction of Yakutia and the Magadan region? What is this "Korshun Object," which isn't listed in any open reference book of Soviet projects? And why, a year later, did Nikifor Stepanovich receive a strange pension—twice the amount he was entitled to, and without a single signature on the payroll? ⚠️ Some materials presented on the channel are fictional in nature and include elements of the author's reconstruction and interpretation of historical events.
