Kyshtym dwarf. Alyoshenka's story

This story took place in a very real place - the village of Kalinovy ​​near the city of Kyshtym (Chelyabinsk region). It was there that pensioner Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina lived (you’ll find out why she “lived” further). Old lady Prosvirina was harmless. It was only in the fall and spring that Tamara Vasilievna’s relatives admitted her to a psychiatric hospital to avoid an exacerbation of her mental illness. But the rest of the time, my grandmother wandered freely around the village, looked into the local cemetery (she liked to bring home flowers and ceramic tablets with the names of the deceased as trophies) and did not harm anyone. On the night of August 13, 1996, a serious thunderstorm broke out around Kyshtym. The rain mixed with hail knocked the petals off the dahlias in the front gardens. But the riot of the elements did not stop Tamara Vasilyevna from going for a walk. In the copse near the hill, she suddenly saw an unusual creature: tiny, like a premature baby (25 cm tall), a pointed head, eyes like large coat buttons. And the pupils are like a cat's. Instead of lips there is a slit, the body is covered with fur, and there are sharp claws on the fingers.

The creature squeaked pitifully, and the compassionate old woman took him to her home. Son Alyoshenka. A couple of weeks later, residents of the village of Kalinovy ​​became worried: “Prosvina seems to be getting worse again.” What else could they think if the pensioner began to tell her neighbors that in her old age she was raising her son Alyoshenka. The pensioner's only son was in prison, her daughter-in-law, who sometimes visited Tamara Vasilyevna, worked as a cook on a rotational basis and was just absent. The neighbors consulted and called an ambulance from the regional center. The old woman desperately did not want to leave. She kept rushing home, crying and saying that her son would perish from hunger without her. The little animal is unknown - it was only later that everyone realized what kind of “son” the pensioner had? Several people saw Alyoshenka alive. Firstly, daughter-in-law. One day, after bringing food to her mother-in-law, Galina Artemyevna heard: “It’s good that you bought cheese curds, I need to feed the baby.” The “baby” was lying in bed, squeaking. “I look, his mouth sticks out like a tube, his tongue moves. It’s scarlet, like a spatula. And two teeth are visible. I took a closer look: it doesn’t look like a child. The head is brown, the body is gray, the skin is veinless. The eyelids are not visible in the eyes. And the gaze is meaningful! there are no organs. And instead of a navel there is a smooth place. The head is onion-shaped, there are no ears, only holes. And the eyes are like those of a cat. The pupil dilates and then contracts. The fingers and toes are long. The legs are folded into a trapezoid. The mother-in-law put a caramel in his mouth, he began to suck it. And he drank water from a spoon. I thought it was an animal," Galina Artemyevna later told all this to journalists.

Other witnesses: sister-in-law (mother of daughter-in-law), grandson Sasha, neighbor Nina Glazyrina. None of them reported Prosvirina’s discovery to either the authorities or scientists. What for? If it had been a baby, of course, I would have had to call the police. And strange little animals don't bother anyone. Let him live with his grandmother instead of a cat. They were later interviewed in detail. It was possible to find out that no one saw the creature’s excrement. There was no discharge from him - only sweat on the body, like perspiration. Prosvirina wiped the body with a cloth. They say that the whole house smelled of Alyoshenka. It smelled chemically, like cheap, sweet cologne. The afterlife of an alien While Prosvirina was being treated in the hospital, her daughter-in-law decided to check the house to see if everything was okay. Her lodger, Vladimir Nurdinov, gave her a ride on a motorcycle. They entered the house together. And only then the woman remembered that her mother-in-law was holding some kind of creature. There was a strange smell in the apartment - sharp, unpleasant, but not like rotting organic matter. Rather, it could be compared to the smell of synthetic resins. In the crib, wrapped in a slimy diaper, lay a small corpse. It has already begun to decompose. “This is not an animal or a mutant baby,” Nurdinov said decisively, looking at the body, “this is an alien. We need to preserve the corpse and then sell it in the laboratory.” No sooner said than done. He took the body and dried it right in the autumn sun in some garages - this is how they dry fish. The mummy was severely distorted in this case. Investigation of amateurs It was not possible to sell the “alien” to Vladimir Nurdinov.
Already in the fall, he had to testify in the case of cable theft to the investigator of the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs, Evgeniy Mokichev. “Do you want me to show you an alien?” - Nurdinov suddenly asked. The investigator, who has seen a lot in his time, agreed with a grin. But the mummy that Nurdinov showed (they went to his house together, fortunately everyone in the village is nearby and everyone knows each other) turned out to be really very strange. The tiny creature looked completely humanoid, if not for the head; it consisted of four petals, which connected upward into one plate and formed a kind of ridge. Just in case (it could have been the corpse of a baby), the investigator removed the mummy. And when he returned to the department, he told everything to his partner, investigator Vladimir Bendlin. He began an unofficial investigation into this matter. Unofficial - because there was no corpus delicti. The pathologist and gynecologist at the local hospital who examined the mummy said unequivocally that it was not a baby or an embryo. Bendlin did not remain indifferent to the mystery. He captured the mummy on camera and in photographs. I went to the hospital to see Prosvirina and recorded a conversation with her - also on tape. And then, not knowing where else to go with a strange find, I called the city of Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk region, where there was a ufological society. That's where Alyoshenka's mummy got lost...

The mysterious death of a pensioner, but the story did not end there. A Japanese television group curious about the anomalies heard about the humanoid dwarf. The translator called Bendlin and asked him to receive the journalist and take him to Prosvirina. Literally the next day after the call, the police department received a report of an accident: it turns out that Tamara Prosvirina had been hit and killed by a car the night before. It was also August, but already in 1999. According to eyewitnesses, Prosvirina ran out of the house - right in her socks, as if someone had called her - and jumped out onto the road. Two cars were racing towards each other, there was no chance of escape. The Japanese had to limit themselves to talking with other witnesses. But without the main character and Alyoshenka’s corpse, conducting a serious investigation turned out to be pointless. Japanese producer Deguchi Masao set a prize of $200,000 for the mummy. Until then, the Kyshtym humanoid is written into riddles.

Who was found near Kyshtym? Version one: skeptical There was no Alyoshenka. The pensioner caught hallucinations, and the rest was made up by prankster neighbors. Pro: This is the simplest explanation. Con: There are recordings - photos and videos - depicting an alien mummy. And the Japanese became seriously interested in this matter, who, with their knowledge of technology, would certainly have been able to detect the fake. Version two: a realistic pensioner found a real premature baby, a victim of a criminal abortion. Perhaps the child was a mutant, a freak. Living creatures are quite tenacious, especially newborns. Pros: this is the most plausible version. Because such terrible discoveries happen even without any aliens. And if you have ever been to the exhibit room of the nearest medical institute, then you can find even more monsters in jars of formaldehyde. And with tails, and with claws, and without a skull at all. Cons: experienced doctors who managed to examine the mummy admitted that 90% of the creature was not human. Version three: ufological. Alyoshenka is an alien who finds herself in a difficult situation. For some reason he found himself helpless on Earth and therefore was forced to call on the local population for help. And the brain of the mentally unbalanced Prosvirina, perhaps, was best amenable to telepathic contact. Pros: Prosvirina’s daughter-in-law said that pain was visible in the expression of the creature’s eyes. It was clearly suffering. And the traffic accident that ended the life of a pensioner only proves that the aliens themselves did not at all crave their exposure. Con: the most irrefutable evidence is the mummy itself. And through the efforts of the ufological society she disappeared. So Alyoshenka’s secret is still waiting to be revealed.


I first came across this story online several years ago. Then, deciding that the casket opened simply (mutant), I passed by. But today, after Japanese producer Deguchi Masao appointed a $200,000 prize for “Alyoshenka” and the media was full of articles on this topic, it’s worth returning to it. Moreover, the Kyshtym humanoid did not have a navel, and, therefore, it definitely could not be a human embryo.

Prologue.

According to residents of the village of Kalinovy, which was located next to Kyshtym (Chelyabinsk region), it all started on a stormy night on August 13, 1996. It was then that a local resident, a lonely pensioner, Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina, received a “telepathic order”: get up and immediately go to the cemetery. However, the presence of telepathy was explained quite simply; Tamara Vasilievna was not entirely mentally healthy and periodically collected flowers from the cemetery. Another thing was strange - she found the one who called her. A small creature with huge eyes was looking at her from behind a mound.....

But let's better give the floor to the participants in the events. It was an eerie find - either a human baby or an unknown animal: the head was like a pointed pumpkin, instead of lips there was a slit, the body was covered with fur, there were sharp claws on the fingers... The creature squeaked pitifully, and the compassionate old woman decided to take it with her - she wrapped it up, She brought her home, fed her and named her Alyoshenka.

Further in the plot of this already strange story, completely phantasmagoric turns begin. The cheerful grandmother began to brag to her neighbors that she had a son in her old age. But since Prosvirina was registered with a psychiatrist, the neighbors, without further ado, reported her strange behavior to the doctors. They also didn’t take long to figure it out, they arrived, gave me a sedative injection and took me to the hospital. And in vain the old woman cried and asked to leave her at home. No one listened to her, and the “alien” who was left unattended died...

But let's better listen to the witnesses



Tamara Prosvirina and Galina Artemyevna Alferova.

Tamara Prosvirina’s daughter-in-law, also Tamara, saw “Alyoshenka” alive:

Then I worked on a rotational basis as a cook. My husband Sergei was in prison. My mother-in-law lived alone, I visited her once every two weeks. I came to her one day and was laying out groceries in the kitchen. And she suddenly said: “We should feed the baby too!” I thought that she had an exacerbation of the disease, this had happened to her before. And she led me to the bed. I look: there is something beeping there. Or rather, it whistles. His mouth sticks out like a tube and his tongue moves. He is scarlet, with a spatula. And two teeth are visible. I took a closer look: he doesn’t look like a child. The head is brown, the body is gray, the skin is without veins. The eyelids are not visible. And a meaningful look! There are no genitals. And instead of a navel there is a smooth place. The head is onion-shaped, there are no ears, only holes. And eyes like a cat's. The pupil then expands and then contracts. The fingers and toes are long. The legs are folded into a trapezoid. The mother-in-law asked: “Where does this monster come from?” And she replied that she found it in the forest and called it “Alyoshenka.” She put a caramel in his mouth and he began to suck on it. And he drank water from a spoon. I thought it was an animal. My mother, Galina Artemyevna Alferova, saw him.

74-year-old Galina Artemyevna answers correspondents’ questions about “Alyoshenka” willingly.

I visited Tamara’s apartment often. She was sick in the head. Therefore, I checked on her, no matter what happened. Her son, my daughter’s husband, is in prison. And Tamara then worked as a cook on a rotational basis. So I visited. I'll bring some groceries and help you clean up. Although she was crazy, she was good-natured. And she took care of herself. Well, I came, and in the next room it seemed like a kitten was squeaking. The matchmaker had a two-room apartment, we have now sold it.

I ask: “Why, Tamara, did you get a kitten?” And she says: “No, baby.” I told her: “What kind of baby is this?” And she says: “Alyoshenka. I found her in the forest.” - "So show!" Let's go to the next room. I look: there is something lying across her bed, wrapped in a colorful rag. She unfolded it and showed it to me. So wonderful! At first I thought it was some kind of obsession. Crossed - does not disappear! At this point I became bolder and came closer. And when he saw me, he whistled. Well, kind of like a gopher in a field, but quietly. I think that's what he was trying to say.

Maybe this is still a premature baby?

Not really. I've seen so many different ones in my life, including premature babies. “Alyoshenka” doesn’t look like a baby at all. The head is not like a pumpkin, but like a helmet: pointed and without hair. And the fontanelles are not visible on it. The fingers are long, thin and sharp, like claws. Five on each arm and leg.

At first the body was plump and swayed like jellied meat. It was he who shriveled up after his death.

Did he have genitals?

He doesn't have any genitals.

Are you sure?

Yes, I examined it from all sides. I even touched between my legs. A flat place, like a doll's. And there is no umbilical cord either.

- Did “Alyoshenka” move on its own?

With me - no. He just raised his legs up. He straightened it out, like he was doing gymnastics.

Did you see how they fed him?

His matchmaker gave him curd cheese. He sucked and swallowed it. He did not have a lower jaw, and instead of it there was some kind of skin. And he didn’t drink from a bottle - there was a bowl of water on the bed, Tamara fed him with a spoon. And his tongue was so long and bright red, like a spatula.

How long did the creature live?

Let's do the math. I visited the matchmaker five times, and my granddaughter Sasha - he is now serving in the army - stopped by a couple of times. Neighbor Nina Glazyrina visited her and even spent the night. And everyone saw him alive. For three weeks this monster lived with the in-laws. Or maybe more.

Did you try to inform the authorities about the find?

There was no idea then that it was important. If she had found a baby in the forest, then, of course, they would have called the police. And this is so - don’t understand what. The animal is incomprehensible. Now everyone is saying that it’s an alien. And then my daughter and grandson and I decided: let him live instead of a cat...

What struck you most about him?

There were no bowel movements from him. Only sweat on the body, sort of like perspiration. His in-law wiped everything with a cloth.

Isn't that rag left?

Oh, No. It seems like I gave everything.

To whom?

To the investigator.

Maybe there is something else left? Bedsheets, for example?

May be.

Can you search?

Can. All the linen that was in the room smelled of this “Alyoshenka”. He had a sweet scent, like cologne...

How did “Alyoshenka” die?

Must be from hunger. Tamara was taken to a mental hospital, but he remained in an empty apartment. My daughter wasn’t in the city at that time, and I didn’t have time to go there. After all, who knew that this unprecedented thing was so valuable for science? The Japanese are now promising huge amounts of money for it.

Where is "Alyoshenka" now?

We do not know.

Where is your matchmaker now?

Car hit. Just after the Japanese called and said that they wanted to meet her and film her.

Prosvirina died under very strange circumstances. Late in the evening of August 5, 1999. Tamara left the house barefoot, wearing socks - according to eyewitnesses, it was as if someone had called her. Moreover, the neighbors saw that there were two cars and they converged in the place where the woman stood, like scissors


Prosvirina Tamara Vasilievna

Fortunately, Tamara Prosvirina’s testimony was preserved on videotape by investigator Vladimir Bendlin.

There is an elderly woman on the screen. She is wearing a wrinkled green hospital gown. She has her hair cropped, her gaze wandering. She is taken out into the yard. The woman stumbles and almost falls - a nurse catches her by the elbow.

This is Prosvirina in a psychiatric hospital,” explains the investigator. And he adds: “The conversation with her was conducted informally and has no legal force...

The woman in the frame, although with difficulty, identifies herself. Her speech is slurred: a nervous tic is interfering. She licks her lips all the time.

She is asked a question about who “Alyoshenka” is. The pause seems like an eternity. The old lady finally answers:

Son.

Where did you get it from? The woman raises her head and looks at the sky for a long time. Finally he says:

Found it under a tree. He was lying head down. I quickly shook it off and put it down.

What did this place look like?

In the forest... There was hail and thunder... My Alyoshenka, I will write him down under my last name.

He died.

Yes, he died.

Yes you?!

She cries, smearing the violently gushing tears with her fists. Then he asks a question:

There was no food.

The patient looks directly into the camera. On her face there is such great grief that even the most brilliant actress could not play. Through the sobs you can hear: “Poor thing! I told the doctors - I have a baby there... Let me go...” She sobs, then they take her away.

Evgeniy Mokichev, captain of justice, investigator of the Kyshtym police department.

In August - September 1996, I investigated a criminal case accusing Vladimir Nurdinov of committing cable theft in the village of Novogorny. To conduct an investigative experiment, he suggested going to the scene of the incident. We went with Nurdinov on his motorcycle. On the way, Vladimir asked me if I had seen aliens? Naturally, I replied that I had not seen any aliens and did not believe in their existence. He promised to show me the alien when I returned home.

Arriving at the village where Nurdinov lived, we carried out the required investigative actions, after which Vladimir offered to look at the alien he had. Of course, I was skeptical about this, but he took a rag bundle from the closet. There was something wrapped in the red material. He unwrapped the package and presented it to me.

What I saw amazed me. For a long time I could not figure out what it was, there was some kind of confusion. In front of me lay approximately 25 cm in length the mummified corpse of a small humanoid creature. It is very difficult to unambiguously assess what lay in front of me, because his head was of an unusual shape - helmet-shaped, consisting of four petals, which connected upward into one plate and formed a kind of ridge. His eye sockets were large. On the front jaw one could distinguish two small, barely visible teeth. The forelimbs were crossed over the chest, and judging by them, they were the same length as the lower ones.

The corpse was in a dried, wrinkled state, with many folds of skin on it. The remains emanated a not strong, but unpleasant odor; It’s hard to say what exactly it smelled like.

I began to question where and why this creature appeared here. He told me this story. In the same year, 1996, a resident of the village of Kalinovo, Tamara Prosvirina (her grandmother was not completely mentally healthy), while walking through the forest, found this creature and brought it to her home, and it began to live with her. She fed him, rocked him to sleep, called him Alyoshenka and told everyone that little Alyoshenka lived at her house. Subsequently, this grandmother was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital before an exacerbation of mental illness, and this creature remained in her closed apartment.

Nurdinov, when he previously went to this grandmother and also communicated with this creature, said that it squeaked and somehow gave sound signals. He remembered that the creature was in the house, and when he found it, it was already dead. Worms were crawling on it. He got rid of the worms, washed the body with alcohol and left it to dry in the sun. After drying, the corpse acquired the appearance in which he presented it to me.

I asked Nurdinov not to tell anyone about what happened yet. And he also ordered him not to put this corpse anywhere, not to hide it and not to hand it over to anyone.

Returning to the department, I told everything to my partner, investigator Vladimir Bendlin, who began an unofficial investigation into this case.. There was no official investigation, we acted unofficially. What we said actually existed. Many specialists examined this corpse - both pathologists and gynecologists, and they all assure that this is not the corpse of a person or a human child. He looked completely different. The structure of the skeleton and skull did not look human at all. Even if some creature can mutate very strongly, then to such an extent it is impossible!

That's all I know for now. Contact Vladimir Bendlin. He led the investigation and knows more...

Vladimir Bendlin, Major of Justice, investigator of the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs.

Having arrived from the investigative experiment, Evgeniy told me about what he saw in Nurdinov’s house. I was very interested in this, and I decided to see for myself, since our colleagues literally laughed at the man. I stocked up on a video camera, a camera, took a voice recorder and the next day I went to the village of Bezhelyak. There I met with Nurdinov’s parents; he himself was not there. And they showed me this mummy. They just let her look at her.

Seeing the mummy gave me a feeling that is difficult to describe. An unpleasant sight. This creature had a peculiar smell - not the same as the smell of a half-decomposed body. It was clear that the mummy had been dried without any saline solutions, just in the sun. The creature's skeleton was severely deformed, and it was difficult to determine anything. At the very least, there was a strong resemblance to a premature human fetus. On the other hand, this creature was very different from a human. Due to the nature of my service, I had to see criminal miscarriages and so on, but this is completely different: a miscarriage has a very large head and a small body, but here there was a proportional structure, that is, the head corresponded in size to an already relatively developed body. I decided to collect more information and somehow document what happened. Our duty department did not register this event: “Why is this? There’s no point.

I found out that Nurdinov lived in the apartment of a woman whose mother-in-law was mentally unstable. She walks through cemeteries, collects all sorts of flowers from graves, and even brings home photographs of deceased people on metal ceramics. I knew her by type of work - it was Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina. She was registered with a psychiatrist. She was taken to a psychiatric hospital several times because she had relapses and breakdowns. Her son was serving a sentence in a correctional labor institution at that time.


















She lived in the village of Kalinovo. This woman led a secluded life. Her daughter-in-law, also Prosvirina Tamara, said that when her mother-in-law discovered this creature, it was viable and lived in her apartment for about a month. It took food and made some sounds. The look and expression on his face were meaningful. There was practically no discharge, only some substance appeared on the body, similar to sweat, without odor. She kept him swaddled like a baby and called him her baby. She said that this is “Alyoshenka, I registered him in my last name, and he will live with me.” Prosvirina didn’t show it to almost anyone.

That's how it lived with her for some time. The daughter-in-law herself watched as her mother-in-law fed this creature. According to the daughter-in-law, it was capable of eating caramel candy. If we are talking about a premature human embryo, then this is simply impossible. The daughter-in-law explained that the skin of this creature was the color of a switched-off picture tube, the body was gelatinous, and the physique was of average fatness. Tamara said that “Alyoshenka” made some articulate sounds. The form of communication was as follows - he squealed in response to light and moving objects. He looked like a very sick person. This creature apparently suffered greatly.

After some time, the daughter-in-law found out that the mother-in-law was again admitted to a psychiatric hospital, and when she was hospitalized, the creature was left alone in the house. Naturally, it could not eat on its own. And since the daughter-in-law was a very busy person, she did not have the opportunity to visit the apartment often. And one day she arrived with her lodger Nurdinov and discovered that her mother-in-law was in a hospital, and the creature was already dead.

Having unwrapped the diaper in which “Alyoshenka” was wrapped, she saw that he had already begun to decompose, some insect pupae appeared on him, and there was a corresponding smell in the apartment. True, it was more reminiscent of the smell of synthetic resins than of a dead creature. After this, Nurdinov stated that this is 100% the corpse of an alien, it is not even a mutant or a miscarriage, and it must be embalmed and, if possible, sold profitably. Nurdinov took it and dried it in the sun in some garages. Moreover, the corpse of this creature was severely mangled.

Seeing this mummy, the daughter-in-law was surprised - the appearance of the creature changed so dramatically during drying. His spine was severely bent and pulled where the muscles apparently were. In places where some organs were located, dried pieces of tissue formed.

Subsequently, I recorded interviews with those who saw this creature during life. This is Prosvirin’s daughter-in-law Tamara, her partner Nagovsky Vyacheslav, some relative of the daughter-in-law and her friend, a woman who drinks, gave conflicting information. They all claimed that this creature looked quite intelligent, and there was pus in its eyes, like conjunctivitis. The look itself was very meaningful.

After the primary material was collected, it became necessary to conduct some consultations with specialists. This question was not within my competence, but I was curious, what is it? I believe that such information should be seriously verified, because there are a lot of rumors. Here, human deformity to a strong degree, and some mutations related to ecology are possible, or this is a truly phenomenal case of the viability of a human embryo, or a criminal miscarriage. Clearly, this story required research.

Our management said that apparently I had nothing else to do, and I was forced to conduct this business behind the scenes, in my free time. I asked the pathologist to examine this creature, for which he took it to our city morgue. The pathologist examined him in the presence of a paramedic and stated that at least 90% he was not human. The skeletal structure of a humanoid is very different from that of a human, especially the pelvic bones, which are designed for both upright walking and on all fours. The forelimbs are also very different in length from human ones. The hands are designed as if they were feet. Apparently, this creature could move in any conditions and in any way, overcome any obstacles.

The doctor said that in order to accurately draw conclusions about the nature of this creature, a DNA examination is necessary. Since it is expensive, it can only be carried out officially, in criminal cases, and also in laboratory conditions with the participation of a trained specialist. All options for carrying it out suddenly disappeared.

We changed tactics. Evgeniy and I, as well as the Zhelutdinovs, fire department workers, who joined us, began to investigate further. Rais Zhelutdinov told me that 200 km from us, in Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk region, there is a ufological society called “Star Academy UFO-contact using the Zolotov method.” Rais told me that this is an authoritative person, he showed it in the encyclopedia: Zolotov, scientist, academician. This organization allegedly includes Zolotov’s son.

We called these people and they responded to our invitation. Then came a call from Kamensk-Uralsky. These people called themselves specialists in the field of ufology, said that their extraterrestrial communications operator would check this information and, if it was confirmed, they would come, and if not, then excuse me, they don’t deal with nonsense. A couple of hours later, two cars were already standing under the windows of the Zhemaldinovs’ apartment, where we had gathered. After viewing the video, those who arrived said that the find was very serious and required urgent research. They reprimanded us for the fact that the matter was not brought to the state level, but was reduced to amateur activities.

The head of this organization, Semenkova Galina, an intelligent, polite, intellectually advanced woman, said that two of her girls would investigate this creature and tell where it came from. We went to where the mummy was. They examined it, moved their hands over it and said that this creature has a biological component, but it is an artificial creature. It was programmed to study the environment, living space and, naturally, performed some side functions. He was sent by the space fleet under the control of captain "FE" to make further contacts with some highly developed civilization.

All this, of course, sounded doubtful, but there was at least some interpretation of events. I'm not an expert in such areas. I thought that since they really believed in this matter, that is, they are the same romantics who can be trusted with anything, then these people will carry out the necessary examinations and, in the end, will clarify everything.

They ended up taking the mummy. They said that they were taking it for research and in the near foreseeable future they would establish its origin and provide us with documentary evidence.

After some time, I called these people and asked how the research was going. I was told not to worry, they were studying the mummy. They suggested: “Come to our seminar, but it will cost you money.” Then they said that this would be important for me, they would open additional channels of communication for me, and I would become almost a demigod. I replied that I don’t take such bait, and asked to tell me the result of the study of the mummy. After some time, they got through to Zhemaldinov and told him that it was an ordinary miscarriage...

Soon this story took a new turn, almost detective. Information about the strange creature reached the media, and the reaction began like ripples on water.

The media began to publish various articles, there was even a libel in the newspaper "Chelyabinsky Rabochiy", where a certain Kuklev published an abusive article entitled "Kyshtym Lunatics". This article was published just in time for All Saints' Day - Halloween. The author simply made fun of us.

There were also serious publications. In the end, Nikolai Vorsegov, deputy chief editor of this newspaper, came here from Komsomolskaya Pravda. He collected material, after which after some time a film crew from Japanese television - MTV Tokyo - came to us. They became interested in what happened in Kamensk-Uralsky. Through their channels, they contacted people who also had this information, collected material and established that the UFO-Contact group transferred the mummy to Yekaterinburg, and there, in one of the research institutes not related to biology and anatomy, they secretly carried out its research in laboratory conditions, with the involvement of specialists. That's how it all ended. Silence for now.

Some time later, a translator from a Japanese television group called me and said that they intended to come to us and film another interview with this mentally ill woman, since they would have very serious specialists in the field of psychiatry with them. Everything was well financed by them, this phenomenon was carefully studied in Japan, and they found that it was necessary to deeply and seriously study exactly the one who directly communicated with this creature, that is, Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina.

They told me the exact date of their arrival, just in a week. They were also interested in some UFO landing site in the city of Berezovsky, Sverdlovsk region, that is, they wanted to kill two birds with one stone. They asked me to make sure that Prosvirina Tamara Vasilievna did not go anywhere at this time. But the most amazing thing is that about half an hour after the telephone conversation with the translator, I heard on the radio (that day I was in full-time duty) that a traffic accident had occurred in the village of Kalinovo and that a naked woman had died under the wheels of a car - Tamara Prosvirina Vasilevna. Is this a coincidence?! Japanese television crews did not come here; they limited themselves to a trip to Berezovskoye.

But our story didn't end there. One woman living next door to Prosvirina - she asked not to share her information, since she serves in a government agency and does not want gossip around her name - said that before Tamara Vasilievna was taken to a psychiatric hospital, she walked around the village and She explained that she had a child, Alyoshenka, and that she wanted to register him in her living space under her last name. Everyone, of course, knew that Prosvirina was a mentally abnormal woman, and did not believe her. But this neighbor herself at that time discovered a small man in her apartment. No higher than one and a half meters. Her apartment was locked from the inside, she was at home, went into another room and saw him. This little man stood silently in the middle of the room, looking rather unpleasant. He was stocky, heavily covered with stubble, and looked to be about forty years old. But this subject was clearly not human.

Prosvirina’s neighbor is completely sane and sane. The reliability of her story is beyond doubt. At least I had confidence in her. So, while she was looking at the stranger, there was a knock on the door. Opening it, this woman saw her neighbor - not Prosvirina, but another. She asked: “Why do you look so strange, how can you hide a man?” The neighbor knew that this woman was alone, but without an invitation she went into the room and looked around, but there was no one there. The doors and windows were completely closed...

What is this? Fiction, a figment of fantasy, or maybe a dream or something else? My interlocutor convinced me that this happened in reality. She doesn’t drink and is, as I already said, completely sane.

Evgeniy and I gained fame as researchers of such phenomena, and people began to tell us all sorts of strange things. I wanted to document every piece of evidence of this kind in writing, collect sketches of what they saw, have a map of the city to mark, date, etc. But work didn’t allow me to do this, because I have practically no free time. We spend two thirds of our day on work, the rest on food and sleep. But, of course, I had some materials. There have been several serious incidents at work here. My management did not approve of my research, and even at operational meetings they sometimes mocked me.

In a fit of emotion, I destroyed some of the collected materials, but still kept some. I also have a personal observation. In 1992, a levitating object was spotted twice in the area of ​​the city of Ozersk. There is an enterprise there that was once secret, and now even American specialists work there. I personally observed at night, in the area northeast of Kyshtym, at a very high altitude, a flat-shaped object, only it was located not horizontally, but vertically. A clear, bright white beam emanated from it...

Stanislav Samoshkin, pathologist.

In 1996, at the request of the local police officer, I examined an unknown creature. According to the person who found it, the gynecologist (Irina Ermolaeva and urologist Igor Uskov) recognized this creature as an embryo. The examination took place in the sectional room, in the presence of a local police officer.

The corpse was mummified, the internal organs were missing, only the skeleton and the remains of the skin were presented. The creature was about 25 cm long. I was struck by the fact that the skull was tower-shaped, consisting of four bones - the occipital, frontal and two parietotemporal. Moreover, there is no clear division between the temporal and parietal bones. The structural features of the skull also include the fact that the brain section predominated over the facial section.

According to all anthropological indicators, this creature should be classified as intelligent, that is, not in the category of animals, because it is known that in the same monkeys the brain cavity of the skull is smaller than the face. The pelvic bones are formed according to the erectus type. The arms and legs were twisted, it was impossible to see the fingers, because the corpse was mummified. There were no internal organs.

I was asked to simply look and say, is it a human or an animal fetus? As far as I remember, we didn’t study such skeletons in zoology. It has been suggested that, at first glance, this is a creature that is not found on Earth. They offered to conduct an examination at the Chelyabinsk Forensic Bureau, where genetic research is carried out, but the owner of this corpse refused everything and said that he would decide what to do with it. Then the corpse was taken away, and its further fate is unknown to me.

- Can anything be said about the limbs? About their length and other parameters?
- The proportionality of the skeletal structure did not meet the normal standards of the average person. The arms, presumably - if they had been able to straighten them, since the corpse was mummified - reached somewhere to the level of the knees. I repeat, presumably. I did not straighten the limbs, because the question was not to touch the corpse at all. Just examine it and say whether it is a human fetus or something else, since the district police officer turned to me with the question: is this creature a miscarriage, should I initiate a criminal case or not. We limited ourselves to inspection; no other additional studies were done. There were no teeth. It is almost impossible to judge what gender it was. In any case, this was the first time I encountered the features of such a skeleton. Well, when you don’t know, it’s better not to interfere....

Romanova Lyubov Stepanovna, laboratory assistant at the city hospital.

“In 1996,” she said, “at the beginning of August, they brought us the mummified corpse of a little man. It cannot be said that it was a child or a miscarriage. In a word - a small corpse. His skin was half-decayed in the abdomen and on the limbs.

The bones were intact. Regular arms and legs. Tissue is preserved on the back and shoulder area. The head was in the form of a helmet, the skull consisted of four bones connected at the top. There were no auricles. Very large almond-shaped eye sockets. The remaining areas of skin on the back and shoulders were grayish-brown - I think this is all from the sun, the fabric dries out and gives this color.

This little man, as he was called “Alyoshenka,” still did not crawl, but walked upright, like an ordinary person. I think so. It's a shame he disappeared. It was a very interesting, unique case. Scientists would like to get to know him better!

- Do you think this creature could be of extraterrestrial origin, or is it some kind of miscarriage, a genetically altered living creature?
- No. I have been working as a laboratory assistant in a hospital for a very long time. Of course, he doesn’t look like a miscarriage, this “Alyoshenka”. At that time I didn’t think that this was an extraterrestrial being - unusual, that’s all. But of course it doesn’t look like a miscarriage, because the structure of the bones and head is very strange. This cannot happen in a human miscarriage.
- Were the internal organs somehow different from human ones?
- There were no internal organs there. It was a mummified corpse. It was dried out, with barely preserved skin in some places and bare bones.
- Do you think it was an adult or a child?
- I believe that this is still a creature similar to a child, but not ours, not a human child. Such a small creature. He must have been pretty, because he had such huge eye sockets and a helmet-like head. He's interesting, of course.
- What do you think, was it an intelligent creature or not?
- I don’t even know how to answer. I can't judge this.
- What about the structure of the skull?
- According to the structure of the skull, the head corresponds to the development of his arms, legs and torso.
- Could there be a brain there, like a person’s?
- Well, I probably could. If we opened it, we would have looked.
- And you weren’t given the opportunity to open it?
- No. When they brought him to us, there was no order or direction for an autopsy, and without them we do not have the right to do this. That's why we refused to open it. And yet, there was no expert. Otherwise, it would be possible to open it even for the sake of curiosity... Well, that’s all. Then he was taken away and I don’t even know where.

Galina Semenkova.

We found her in Kamensk-Uralsky with great difficulty. The telephone in the apartment was turned off, and she herself did not come home until midnight. Galina Ivanovna, having learned about the topic of the conversation, immediately snapped:
- I can’t say anything about “Alyoshenka”. He is being investigated.
- Who?
- Competent authorities.
- FSB?
Semenkova nodded.
- So you didn’t lose him?
- No...
- And the result of the research?
- I was told that it will be made public when the time comes.
- At least in a nutshell - what is he like?
- “Alyoshenka” changed all ideas about the world...

Afterword. A relative from Puerto Rico.

Despite the many unsaid things, this incredible story is distinguished from thousands of its kind by the presence of photo and video evidence of its veracity. It all started in the summer of 1996 in the regional center of Kyshtym near Chelyabinsk, when a local crazy woman picked up a strange humanoid creature from the cemetery - only 25 centimeters tall. The alien lived among people for two weeks and then died. But the story didn't end there...

Pensioner Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina had a passion - in the late evenings she went to the Kyshtym cemetery. She talked with the dead there, collected various abandoned things - either she would pick up a funeral wreath, or she would bring home a photograph from the monument and hang it on the wall. They say that she had a whole gallery of gravestone photographs at home. Here, of course, it is necessary to make a reservation that Tamara Vasilievna was sick. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, she had long been registered at the Chelyabinsk psychoneurological dispensary. So her habit of collecting portraits of unknown deceased people did not surprise anyone in the village.

And so, in mid-July (Tamara Vasilyevna never told anyone the exact date), Prosvirina found herself near the grave of “Aunt Valya Ledovskaya.”

“I looked, and there was something buried in the grave mound,” she later told the doctors. “I raked the earth with my hands, and this is a bundle - a beetroot-colored rag.” I unwrapped the rag, and there was my boy, Alyoshenka Pretty. Someone buried him upside down. I took him in my arms, and he was alive. He opened his eyes and squealed quietly.

It is not known why Tamara Vasilievna decided to name this creature Alyoshenka Pretty. But it is known that the creature was not human: there were no genital organs on its body. Alyoshenka didn’t even have a belly button. Alyoshenka’s body was gray-green, “like the screen of a turned off TV.” His head, reminiscent of a pointed ancient Russian helmet, seemed to be composed of four petals. There was a small fold in the middle of the face, almost not separating two huge eyes with cat-like vertical pupils. By the way, these eyes did not close with eyelids, but seemed to fall inside the head. The creature had tiny holes where its ears should have been. The mouth was a slit-like slit with two small teeth and a clearly atrophied lower jaw. But the arms and legs were much more mobile than those of people, thanks to the special structure of the joints; the long fingers ended in claws.

Alyoshenka awakened long-forgotten maternal feelings in Tamara Vasilyevna. She was sure that Alyoshenka Pretty was a helpless baby who had lost his parents.

He had such smart eyes,” she later told the doctors at the mental hospital. - Such pitiful eyes. He looks as if he wants to say something, but he can’t. And just something squeals in its own way...

The pensioner brought Alyoshenka home - to a standard apartment in a five-story block building, and tried to feed him there. Since, according to the woman, the boy’s teeth had not yet grown, she ran to the neighbors for condensed milk. She dipped her finger in condensed milk and let it lick it. The boy liked it. Alyoshenka ate half a jar at a time.

By the way, as the neighbors in the stairwell later remembered, the very next day Prosvirina announced that she had a son, Alyoshenka Khoroshenky, whom she, as she promised, would put under her last name when he learned to walk. But then none of the residents paid attention to this - who knows what a mentally ill woman might dream about?

A week later, Tamara Vasilievna went to visit her daughter-in-law, Tamara Nikolaevna Prosvirina. We sat, drank, talked. When it came to the second bottle of vodka, Tamara Vasilievna admitted:

And I have a son...

This is what Tamara Prosvirina’s daughter-in-law, also Tamara, says:

- Then I worked on a rotational basis as a cook. My husband Sergei was in prison. My mother-in-law lived alone, I visited her once every two weeks. I came to her one day and was laying out groceries in the kitchen. And she suddenly said: “We should feed the baby too!” I thought that she had an exacerbation of the disease, this had happened to her before. And she led me to the bed. I look: there is something beeping there. Or rather, it whistles. His mouth sticks out like a tube and his tongue moves. He is scarlet, with a spatula. And two teeth are visible. I took a closer look: he doesn’t look like a child. The head is brown, the body is gray, the skin is without veins. The eyelids are not visible. And a meaningful look! There are no genitals. And instead of a navel there is a smooth place. The head is onion-shaped, there are no ears, only holes. And eyes like a cat's. The pupil then expands and then contracts. The fingers and toes are long. The legs are folded into a trapezoid. The mother-in-law asked: “Where does this monster come from?” And she replied that she found it in the forest and called it “Alyoshenka.” She put a caramel in his mouth and he began to suck on it. And he drank water from a spoon. I thought it was an animal. My mother, Galina Artemyevna Alferova, saw him.

According to 74-year-old Galina Artemyevna:

- I visited Tamara’s apartment often. She was sick in the head. Therefore, I checked on her, no matter what happened. Her son, my daughter’s husband, is in prison. And Tamara then worked as a cook on a rotational basis. So I visited. I'll bring some groceries and help you clean up. Although she was crazy, she was good-natured. And she took care of herself. Well, I came, and in the next room it seemed like a kitten was squeaking. The matchmaker had a two-room apartment, we have now sold it. I ask: “Why, Tamara, did you get a kitten?” And she says: “No, baby.” I told her: “What kind of baby is this?” And she says: “Alyoshenka. I found her in the forest.” - "So show!" Let's go to the next room. I look: there is something lying across her bed, wrapped in a colorful rag. She unfolded it and showed it to me. So wonderful! At first I thought it was some kind of obsession. Crossed - does not disappear! At this point I became bolder and came closer. And when he saw me, he whistled. Well, kind of like a gopher in a field, but quietly. I think that's what he was trying to say.

Maybe this is still a premature baby?

Not really. I've seen so many different ones in my life, including premature babies. “Alyoshenka” doesn’t look like a baby at all. The head is not like a pumpkin, but like a helmet: pointed and without hair. And the fontanelles are not visible on it. The fingers are long, thin and sharp, like claws. Five on each arm and leg.
At first the body was plump and swayed like jellied meat. It was he who shriveled up after his death.

A week later the pensioner became ill. Naked, wrapped in a sheet, she walked around the entrance and frightened the inhabitants with the impending end of the world. Neighbors called an ambulance from the city. Tamara Vasilievna did not oppose hospitalization, but only asked that Alyoshenka Khoroshenky be taken to the hospital, who would be lost without her...

The first rule of all psychiatric ambulance attendants is not to resist or refute the delusions of patients. Therefore, the doctors, having convinced Prosvirina that her little son, Pretty, was already waiting for her in the hospital room, put the woman on a stretcher and hastily left the apartment. The bundle with Alyoshenka remained lying on the sofa.

From the story of investigator Vladimir Bredlin:

We had a certain Vladimir Faridovich Nurdinov, a swindler and thief, involved in one case. He stole non-ferrous metals and wires. And so, at the beginning of August 1996, we detained him on suspicion of yet another theft, and during interrogation he said that he had a mummy of an alien creature. They say Tamara Prosvirina found the alien, and when she was taken to the madhouse, the alien stayed at her home. And after two or three days, her daughter-in-law decided to go to her grandmother’s apartment and check to see if the orderlies there had not turned off the gas or lights, or closed the door... And Tamarkin’s roommate was drinking at that time, so she asked her other friend, Nurdinov, to go with her for company.

Vladimir Nurdinov found Alyoshenka’s body on the sofa in Prosvirina’s apartment. Looking at the alien, he immediately realized that the remains of an alien creature could be sold and get a lot of money. But it was also necessary to somehow preserve the corpse. Vladimir Faridovich solved this problem in a very original way. He took the alien to his garage, where he laid him on the roof heated by the sun. And, according to him, in literally three hours Alyoshenka dried up properly, turning into a mummy.

When investigator Bredlin learned about Nurdinov’s confession, he did not believe a single word he said. But nevertheless, together with their partner, they decided to go to the detainee’s home and examine the mummy, since they were sure that it was either a dead newborn or a victim of a criminal abortion.

His mother opened the door for us and immediately began to deny everything,” says investigator Bredlin. “But we threatened her with criminal liability for concealing traces of a crime, and forced her to take the mummy out of the closet. As soon as I saw her, I shuddered with disgust... And it was as if someone had burned my hands with nettles, it became so unpleasant. And, you know, what struck me most was the smell. It just gave me a sickening lump in my throat. But it was not the smell of rotting protein matter... And believe me, I smelled everything during my service - I had to pull out drowned people, and hanged people, and burned people, and dig up rotten corpses from graves... So, this mummy didn’t smell like that what a rotting human corpse might smell like. The smell was similar to the smell of epoxy mixed with rags...

Just in case, having taken a non-disclosure agreement from Nurdinov’s parents, investigator Bradlin confiscated Alyoshenka Khoroshenky’s mummy. And placed it in the freezer of the refrigerator.

So Captain Bradlin began his own investigation into the activities of aliens on earth. First of all, he borrowed a household video camera from one of the victims and filmed Alyoshenka’s mummy. The quality of the recording turned out to be poor, and he duplicated the shooting on his old Zenit camera. By the way, today these photographs and videotape are the only evidence of Alyoshenka’s existence on Earth.

Then the investigator took explanatory notes from all the witnesses who saw Pretty alive. In addition to Prosvirina Sr. herself, there were four more people - her daughter-in-law, Nagovsky’s roommate, a friend of the daughter-in-law who once came to look at Alyoshenka while drunk, and a neighbor’s boy who brought condensed milk to the alien.

After this, Alyoshenka’s body was transferred to the local pathological bureau to establish who this creature was.

Paramedic of the forensic medical examination bureau Lyubov Stepanovna Romashova and pathologist of the district hospital Stanislav Yuryevich Samoshkin recall:

In 1996, at the request of the police, I examined an unknown creature. According to the person who found it, the gynecologist (Irina Ermolaeva and urologist Igor Uskov) recognized this creature as an embryo. The examination took place in the sectional room, in the presence of a local police officer.

The corpse was mummified, the internal organs were missing, only the skeleton and the remains of the skin were presented. The creature was about 25 cm long. I was struck by the fact that the skull was tower-shaped, consisting of four bones - the occipital, frontal and two parietotemporal. Moreover, there is no clear division between the temporal and parietal bones. The structural features of the skull also include the fact that the brain section predominated over the facial section.

According to all anthropological indicators, this creature should be classified as intelligent, that is, not in the category of animals, because it is known that in the same monkeys the brain cavity of the skull is smaller than the face. The pelvic bones are formed according to the erectus type. The arms and legs were twisted, it was impossible to see the fingers, because the corpse was mummified. There were no internal organs.

In 1996, at the beginning of August, they brought us the mummified corpse of a little man. It cannot be said that it was a child or a miscarriage. In a word - a small corpse. His skin was half-decayed in the abdomen and on the limbs.

The bones were intact. Regular arms and legs. Tissue is preserved on the back and shoulder area. The head was in the form of a helmet, the skull consisted of four bones connected at the top. There were no auricles. Very large almond-shaped eye sockets. The remaining areas of skin on the back and shoulders were grayish-brown - I think this is all from the sun, the fabric dries out and gives this color.

This little man, as he was called “Alyoshenka,” still did not crawl, but walked upright, like an ordinary person. I think so. It's a shame he disappeared. It was a very interesting, unique case. Scientists would like to get to know him better!

I have been working as a laboratory assistant in a hospital for a very long time. Of course, he doesn’t look like a miscarriage, this “Alyoshenka”. At that time I didn’t think that this was an extraterrestrial being - unusual, that’s all. But of course it doesn’t look like a miscarriage, because the structure of the bones and head is very strange. This cannot happen in a human miscarriage.

When they brought him to us, there was no order or direction for an autopsy, and without them we do not have the right to do this. That's why we refused to open it. And yet, there was no expert. Otherwise, it would be possible to open it even for the sake of curiosity... Well, that’s all. Then he was taken away and I don’t even know where.

The investigation, as they say, reached a dead end, and then one of Bredlin’s colleagues showed the investigator a clipping from some ufological newspaper, which talked about the activities of the “Star Academy” from the neighboring city of Kamensk-Uralsky. They called the star academics and asked them to come for consultations. The academicians rushed to Kyshtym two hours later and took Alyushenka away, allegedly for research. The head of this organization, Semenkova Galina, an intelligent, polite, intellectually advanced woman, said that this was a state-level case and reprimanded the investigators for doing it on their own initiative. After some time, they got through to Zhemaldinov and told him that it was an ordinary miscarriage...

Soon this story took a new turn, almost detective. Information about the strange creature reached the media, and the reaction began like ripples on water. Journalists came in large numbers from all over Russia and beyond. Having heard about the amazing phenomenon, even Japanese researchers came, but the truth slipped away like water between the fingers, since there was no trace of Alyoshenka’s corpse, and his “mother” was no longer alive...

According to one version, Semenkova told the press that aliens took Alyoshenka’s corpse during transportation to a research center; according to another, Semenkova tried to sell the mummy to an influential businessman from Yekaterinburg. In 1997, a criminal case was opened against the businessman, and during the search, operatives found Alyoshenka’s body and handed it over to the relevant authorities.

And Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina, according to the villagers, died under very strange circumstances. Late in the evening of August 5, 1999, Tamara left the house barefoot and wearing socks - according to eyewitnesses, it was as if someone had called her. Moreover, the neighbors saw that there were two cars and they converged in that place, so the woman had no chance to survive.

It's interesting that:

The remaining diapers of “Alyoshenka” made it possible to conduct a genetic analysis of the creature.

Three independent examinations proved that there were no human genes in the samples taken. Later, a fourth, state examination was carried out, but it did not find anything strange in the genes of “Alyoshenka”. The scientists concluded that the samples belonged to a “female human embryo.”

According to ufologists from Cosmopoisk, Kyshtym is one of the most popular cities in the world among aliens. Every year, local residents see dozens of unexplained phenomena and UFOs.

Creatures similar to “Alyoshenka” were also found in South America. The last time a “relative” of the “Kyshtym alien” was discovered in Chile was in 2003.

The Kyshtym dwarf, also known as Alyoshenka, is an anthropomorphic artifact representing unidentified mummified remains of biological origin, discovered in 1996 near the southern outskirts of Kyshtym in the village of Kaolinovy. The creature's remains were later lost.

Dwarfism (from the Greek “nanos” - dwarf) is usually caused by damage to the endocrine glands and will outwardly manifest itself as short stature. The height of male dwarfs is below 130 cm, and women - 120 cm. It was fashionable to keep dwarfs at the royal and royal courts; in addition, they were additionally disfigured to make them look “funnier”. A person is always cruel to those who, while remaining human, are endowed from birth with some physical or mental defect. But was the Kyshtym dwarf a person?

How it all began

It all started in the village of Kalinovy, not far from Kyshtym (Chelyabinsk region), on a stormy night on August 13, 1996. Lonely pensioner Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina received a “telepathic order”: get up and immediately go to the cemetery. However, the presence of telepathy was explained quite simply: the woman was not entirely mentally healthy and periodically collected flowers from the cemetery and even brought into the house photographs of the dead taken from monuments. Tamara Vasilievna was, in general, calm, did not offend anyone, and only occasionally, during periods of crisis, found herself in a psychiatric hospital. So it’s not surprising that she wasn’t afraid to take a “walk” to the cemetery on a dark night.

Another thing is strange: while answering the “call”, the woman found the one who called her... A mentally healthy person, having seen the mysterious “find”, would probably have rushed to run and told “where to go”, but Tamara Vasilievna took her for granted. The tiny creature with huge eyes only very vaguely resembled a human baby, but it squeaked pitifully, and the compassionate old woman decided to take him with her - she wrapped him in some kind of rag, brought him home, fed him and began calling him son Alyoshenka.

Kyshtym dwarf Alyoshenka

The mysterious baby lived with Prosvirina for only three weeks. The neighbors began to notice something strange in her behavior: where had it been seen that an old woman could have a baby? Fellow villagers turned to doctors, and they, without further ado, put the old woman in a psychiatric hospital. In vain she cried and repeated that she had a child left unattended in her house...

However, as it turned out, Prosvirina did not have hallucinations. The mysterious creature was seen by her daughter-in-law Tamara and matchmaker Galina Alferova. But busy women did not attach much importance to the “unknown little animal”, because there was no harm from it: it drinks water from a spoon, sucks caramel, cottage cheese, and milk. He didn’t even require special care, as the baby didn’t have any distinctive sexual characteristics or an anus. From time to time, his body was covered in perspiration with a slight smell of cologne, and then Tamara Vasilievna simply wiped it with a cloth.

Description of the creature

The daughter-in-law told how Prosvirina showed her the “child”: “She led me to the bed. I look: there is something beeping there. Or rather, it whistles. His mouth sticks out like a tube and his tongue moves. He is scarlet, with a spatula. And two teeth are visible. I took a closer look: he doesn’t look like a child. The head is brown, the body is gray, the skin is without veins. You can't see the eyelids before your eyes. And a meaningful look! There are no genitals. And where the navel should be is a smooth place. The head is onion-shaped, there are no ears, only holes. And eyes like a kitten. The pupil then expands and then contracts. The fingers and toes are long. The legs are folded into a trapezoid. He squealed in response to light and moving objects. He looked like a very sick person. This creature, apparently, suffered very much."

Alferova, who has seen a lot in her life, adds: “I have seen so many different things in my life, including premature babies. “Alyoshenka” doesn’t look like a baby at all. The head is not like a pumpkin, but like a helmet: pointed and no hair grows. And the fontanelles are not visible on it. The fingers are long, thin and sharp, like claws. 5 on each arm and leg. He didn’t have a lower jaw, and instead of it there was some kind of skin.”

Death of Alyoshenka Kyshtymsky

Left in an empty house without the minimal care that his grandmother provided him, the “baby” died. But the house, although sealed, became a godsend for the unemployed cohabitant of the daughter-in-law, Vladimir Nurdinov, who was engaged in the theft and resale of scrap metal. He climbed into the house and found a tiny corpse there, already covered with some kind of larvae. He really liked the “curiosity” and the man washed it, “dried it in the sun” and put it in the refrigerator.

Consequence

“Alyoshenka” was discovered by the police during a search. Investigator of the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs, Captain of Justice Evgeniy Mokichev was shocked by what he saw:

“For a long time I could not understand what it was, there was some kind of confusion. In front of me lay approximately 25 cm in length the mummified corpse of a small humanoid creature. It is very difficult to give an unambiguous assessment of what lay in front of me, because his head was of an unusual shape - helmet-shaped, consisting of 4 petals, which connected upward into one plate and formed a kind of ridge. His eye sockets were large. There were two small, barely visible teeth on the front jaw. The forelimbs were crossed over the chest, and judging by them, they were the same length as the lower ones.

The corpse was in a dried, wrinkled state, with many folds of skin on it. The mummy emanated a not strong, but unpleasant odor; It’s hard to say what exactly it smelled like (other eyewitnesses call the smell “plastic”). After that, many specialists examined this corpse - both pathologists and gynecologists, and they all claim that this is not the corpse of a person or a human child. He looked completely different. The structure of the skeleton and skull was not human at all. Even if a certain creature can mutate very strongly, then to such an extent it is impossible!”

Further research

Investigators from the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs took video and photographs, took testimony, but did not know what to do next. A pathologist at the city morgue examined the Kyshtym dwarf in the presence of a paramedic and stated that at least 90% it was not a person. The structure of the humanoid skeleton was very different from the human one, especially the pelvic bones, which were designed for both upright walking and on all fours. The forelimbs were also very different in length from human ones. The hands are designed as if they were a foot. As you can see, this creature was able to move in any conditions and in any way, to overcome any obstacles. The doctor said that in order to accurately draw conclusions about the nature of this creature, a DNA examination is necessary.

The disappearance of "Alyoshenka"

In Moscow, the sensational film was viewed by experts who confirmed the conclusion of pathologist Samoshkin from Kyshtym: this is not a person! They all said that DNA analysis could completely confirm or refute their verdict, but for this it is necessary to find... the Kyshtym dwarf. Only Yakov Galperin, director of the All-Russian Research Center for Traditional Folk Medicine, stated that “the proportions of the creature’s head and body do not correspond to any of the types of aliens or aliens from parallel worlds known to science,” and therefore “it is possible that this is a child, distorted atomic radiation."

What else can I add: ufologists were interested in the remains, and since it was not a human corpse, “Alyoshenka” was handed over to them. For a long time, the mummy passed from hand to hand, and then disappeared... Ufologists claim that it was stolen by aliens, and one “new Russian” from Yekaterinburg proves that he has it in his personal cabinet of curiosities.

But if the police closed the “Alyoshenka case,” then the media devoted many articles to it, which attracted attention to the unprecedented creature. An additional sensation was the films of Japanese television documentary makers, who came to Kyshtym twice and checked the film for a long time and seriously before buying the copyright for it. The Perm anomalous zone attracts not only the Japanese. Poles, Germans, and Americans “walked” along it. Mostly TV people. Everyone has the same interest - to try to photograph the “object”. So far, only the Americans have succeeded.

In the photographs they were able to capture orange balls in Molebka that looked like oranges. But in particular, the Perm anomalous zone “thundered” in Japan: a documentary film about the events in Shala and Molebka and about ... the Kyshtym dwarf - the famous alien (?) “Alyoshenka” was released there. The result of investigations conducted by Kosmopoisk together with a Japanese television company specializing in the study of such mysterious cases around the world (and at the same time sponsoring them), showed that “Alyoshenka” actually existed. However, the traces of the people who took him out seem to have been lost once again...

An interesting version about the origin of the “dwarfs” was voiced. According to it, their habitat can be very deep karst formations in local caves. The assumption of the existence of such caves was confirmed during the expedition, but the search for “relatives” of “Alyoshenka” has not yet brought any results.

$200,000 for “Alyoshenka”

After the Japanese producer Deguchi Macao appointed a $200,000 prize for the Kyshtym dwarf and the media were again full of articles on this topic, in Russia they returned to the study of the only thing that remained from “Alyoshenka” - the “shroud” - the rag in which he was wrapped at the time of death. But two attempts to conduct a genetic analysis were unsuccessful.

Research continues

At the beginning of 2004, a leading researcher at the Research Institute of Physical and Chemical Biology named after A.N. completed his investigation. Belozersky Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Candidate of Biological Sciences V.V. Aleshin. During his experiments, he also failed to detect human genes in the existing sample. 2004, April - Cosmopoisk coordinator Vadim Chernobrov made a new attempt to investigate a detective story.

He transferred the genetic material to the RAS laboratory, headed by Professor V. Shevchenko. Human DNA was isolated from the blood stains of the “dwarf”! In this case, only female X chromosomes are found in the blood. Comparisons of this DNA with the DNA of two monkeys and three humans (two women and one man) showed that "the sample was consistent with the DNA of a person with multiple developmental disabilities." So maybe this “Alyoshenka” is most likely an ordinary freak who was born due to environmental pollution of the territory.

But in truth, there are very many deviations. Many details of the structure of the humanoid have not found any intelligible explanation to this day. The absence of a navel, genitals, excretory organs, ears, the presence of a full set of teeth, a bud-shaped skull and other sharp differences from the usual human structure - all this can probably indicate the extraterrestrial origin of the Kyshtym dwarf.

Indeed, how could he be born without a navel, and even live for several weeks? Recently, the phenomenon from Kyshtym has been perceived only with skepticism among scientists. This is what the chief scientific secretary of the Chelyabinsk Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Boris Gelchinsky says: “In my opinion, it is not worth excluding the existence of humanoids at all. Who knows who created us, perhaps we are all humanoids. Today’s science is not yet capable of studying all phenomena, especially since scientists are too conservative people.”

Monstrous events shook the city of Kyshtym (northern Chelyabinsk region) in the summer of 1996. Not without timidity I entered this city, lost in the wilderness of forests and the Ural foothills.

Legend has it that these places had a bad reputation even among the ancient Bashkirs because of the heavenly fiery carts that flew here, which more than once captured people and grabbed livestock. Various mountain werewolves, whose pranks are captured in the famous tales of Pavel Bazhov (all names and surnames in this strange story are genuine - Ed.), were also not allowed to live in peace. Therefore, at one time, the Bashkirs almost for nothing ceded the Shaitan lands to the breeder Demidov. But with the advent of the industry, the wonders and fears here have not diminished. And the most global horror happened in 1957, when a secret plant for the production of atomic weapons exploded near Kyshtym, destroying more people than Chernobyl. And the Kyshtym people carefully advised me, a visiting person, not to follow their example - not to swim in the local, dazzlingly clean lakes, not to eat local vegetables, not to kiss local women: “Everything is poisoned by the atom... And what about us? We're used to..."

Perhaps that nuclear disaster is directly related to our case, which it’s time to start talking about. So.

He was found in the cemetery

The house of a lonely fifty-five-year-old citizen Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina stands on the very outskirts of the village of Kaolinovy ​​in the suburbs of Kyshtym, not far from the old cemetery, gloomily overgrown with dense forest. The place is, understandably, sad. One night, during a severe thunderstorm, the lights suddenly went out in Tamara Vasilievna’s house and an inviting otherworldly voice was heard, ordering the woman to immediately go to the cemetery. Having wrapped herself in a cloak and crossed herself three times, Tamara Vasilievna stepped into the thundering hell of the night, teeming with lightning. Having wandered among the graves with a kerosene lantern, she suddenly saw what she had come for - a short gnome-like creature was looking out of the thick grass right at the woman with huge bulging eyes and seemed to be calling for help. Tamara Vasilyevna, again obeying orders from above, took the creature in her arms and carried it home.

About a month after this incident,” Tamara Vasilievna’s daughter-in-law, also named Tamara, told me, “I went to visit my mother-in-law. We’re sitting and talking, and suddenly Tamara Vasilievna says: “And little Alyoshenka lives here with me.” I didn’t understand anything, but she invited me into another room and showed me... As I looked, I became scared: a child is not a child, an animal is not an animal, but here is the spitting image of a humanoid, like the ones they draw in pictures. Height is forty centimeters. The forehead is huge, but the chin is almost non-existent. The eyes are huge, white and seem to be liquid. When he puts his head on the back of his head, his eyes seem to fall inside. No ears. The body is full and, one might say, transparent-matte, like the white screen of a switched-on TV. There are no genitals. And there's not even a belly button. The arms and legs are not at all human-like, and instead of fingers there are long claws. I ask, what do you feed him? And she answers, “Alyoshenka doesn’t eat anything except condensed milk.” I felt terrified and quickly went home.

Mummy in the refrigerator

Soon after her daughter-in-law’s visit, Tamara Vasilyevna experienced violent insanity due to the humanoid. The doctors barely caught her on the street and sent her to a mental hospital. The daughter-in-law, shocked by the series of events, tried not to remember what she had seen and avoided her mother-in-law’s house.

Perhaps no one would have known about the strange incident, but one day this happened. The investigator of the Kyshtym GUVD, Captain Evgeniy Mokichev, opened a case against a certain citizen Nurtdinov, who stole a coil of copper wire from the state. The investigator called Nurtdinov for questioning, and then they rode on Nurtdinov’s motorcycle to the crime scene - suspect Nurtdinov at the wheel, the investigator in the back. Sincerely wanting to distract the investigator from sad thoughts about crime, the defendant offered to stop by his house, where he would show the captain something against which it would be unethical for intelligent people to talk about a pathetic coil of wire. “What else did he steal?” - thought investigator Mokichev and agreed with the proposal.

At home, Nurtdinov artistically opened the refrigerator, pulled out a piece of liverwurst, canned fish and triumphantly took out a shrunken humanoid mummy, from the sight of which the captain really immediately forgot about the stolen wire.

This is the corpse of an alien,” Nurtdinov explained conspiratorially.

Investigator Mokichev assumed that something like this must have happened at some point, since he himself had observed a UFO over Kyshtym almost a dozen times, and he had heard a lot of such passions in eyewitness stories about aliens... Recently, one excited citizen brought a photograph to the police: he was photographing there was a daughter in the apartment, and on the positive side, in addition to her, two ghosts clearly appeared.

The purpose of the business trip is “to search for the corpse of an alien”

At the reception desk of the Malachite Hotel, when asked about the purpose of the business trip, I honestly answered: “Searching for the corpse of an alien.” The receptionist Nina Dmitrievna nodded understandingly and, realizing the seriousness of the moment, carefully wrote down “business” in the “purpose of visit” column.

In the evening, Nina Dmitrievna told me that creatures similar to the humanoid Alyoshenka had been encountered more than once in the dense Kyshtym forests, some with prayer, others with swearing. They usually don’t cause harm, but they do cause quite a bit of horror. Nina Dmitrievna herself had such a terrible incident last summer:

My husband worked the night shift, and I was home alone in a three-room apartment. And then at about four in the morning, just as it was getting light, I suddenly felt someone stroking my head. Do you really think Kolya came so early? I open my eyes: oh, what is this?! Sitting next to him on the pillow is this big-headed man, as tall as a stool, with blue-blue eyes, and sparse fur on his face and body. He sits and looks at me. I got out of bed, and he was still sitting. I went into another room, locked the door, and only then did I feel scared. I didn’t tell anyone about it, but a few days later my neighbor came. We sat down in the kitchen, drinking tea, talking about business, there was no one in the house except us, and suddenly there was this loud male voice between us: “Who are you talking about like that?!” We were both stupefied, fell silent, and “he” spoke again, but indistinctly and as if retreating into space. The neighbor doesn't even touch me now. I performed various church ceremonies - so far, pah-pah, it doesn’t bother me. Many of us here have seen all sorts of miracles. They say this is all connected with a nuclear explosion.

Head like a water lily

People in Kyshtym talk about miracles casually and calmly. For Kyshtym residents, a UFO is almost the same ordinary celestial wonder as a rainbow for Muscovites. Almost everyone saw fireballs and saucers.

When I first saw a UFO in the sky,” says the mayor of Kyshtym, Vyacheslav Yakovlevich Shchekochikhin, “I became seriously interested in this phenomenon, began collecting information about them, and tried to find a scientific approach. But, after reading the Fourth Message of Aliens to Earthlings, I decided that I should quit this business, because such a hobby is incompatible with my position.

Let us return, however, to the humanoid mummy. Another Kyshtym investigator, Captain Vladimir Bendlin, together with local journalist Olga Rudakova, took this fact seriously. They attracted an experienced pathologist Stanislav Yuryevich Samoshkin, and he, having carefully examined the mummy, declared: “It’s definitely not a person. The head is collected like a water lily. There are four bones in total. The pelvis is rather designed for walking horizontally, with vellus hair on the back. It would be nice to do an analysis of the DNA molecule, but for this there is no money to scrape together in all of Kyshtym.”

In his testimony to Captain Bendlin, the medical thief and owner of the mummy, Mr. Nurtdinov, admitted in writing that he visited the apartment of the mentally ill citizen Prosvirina at the request of her daughter-in-law, where he discovered that dead creature. Nurtdinov took the creature and dried it in the sun, which is why “it” shortened in size by about a third (to 25-30 cm). Afterwards I kept the mummy in the refrigerator.

Personally, it is difficult for me to judge the reasonableness of Nurtdinov’s actions, but I have a suspicion that the humanoid violated the psyche not only of Tamara Vasilievna, who, alas, cannot be interrogated. Reason completely left her.

I was recently on board a UFO

Soon, investigator Bendlin called Galina Semenkova, a well-known ufologist from Kamensk-Uralsky in the Urals. She immediately drove to Kyshtym in two brand new foreign cars, announced to the Kyshtym authorities that she had recently been on board a UFO and knew the whole truth about the deceased humanoid. This, according to her, is a representative of Alpha Centauri, sent to us for the purpose of establishing navigational-energy contact. Exit code - Alpha 03378. Head of the navigation fleet, captain FE.

Captain Bendlin would really like to meet with the captain of the FE, but, as it turned out, the FE only accepts a select few on board the UFO, which includes, of course, the ufologist Semenkova. Semenkova took the mummy and ordered everyone to remain silent, including the police, in order to avoid anger from Alpha Centauri.

For a year now, ufologist Semenkova has been in spaces unknown to anyone. She didn’t even leave her coordinates to her husband. Pragmatic Kyshtym tongues say that Semenkova and the FE captain probably pushed the mummy into the States and bought a big mansion somewhere near Florida with the proceeds.

The only consolation is that Alyoshenka, according to locals, is not the last humanoid seen near Kyshtym. And therefore, leaving this small town, in my televised address to the residents of Kyshtym, I called on the entire conscious population to promptly report such miracles straight to the Kremlin, and the people there are not fools, they will figure out what and why...

Didn't find the way back?

Let my tone not seem ironic to anyone, this is my style of writing, nothing can be done. And the question, gentlemen, is serious. Maybe Kyshtym is one of the rare anomalous zones on Earth that has a window between ours and the parallel world? Is it possible that this window was cut through by an atomic explosion? And who knows: the humanoid Alyoshenka climbed up to us through this hole, but due to his youth he did not find the way back? So he disappeared in a foreign environment. According to investigators, at the time of Alyoshenka’s appearance, UFOs were flying over Kyshtym especially often. Looks like they were looking.

Matter is a complex thing, and it’s stupid to think that apart from us, no other creatures live in this space...

Everyone learned about this mysterious story in 1996. An ordinary pensioner from the outback suddenly became a world celebrity. The fact is that it was then, in a village with the romantic name Kaolinovy, near Chelyabinsk, that... a living alien was found.

Officially, the story of Alyoshenka, as the alien was named by his earthly mother, sounds something like this...

Strange find

The thirteenth day of August 1996 began absolutely banal for pensioner Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina. It was hot in the morning, steaming before the rain. Nevertheless, Tamara Vasilyevna decided not to sit at home, but to take a walk, before the downpour struck, to the nearest cemetery. Unfortunately, Prosvirina suffered from a serious mental illness. And although the woman did not show any signs of violence or aggression, her perception of the world was very inadequate. Upon returning home, Tamara Vasilievna tried to decorate her modest home with bouquets picked from the cemetery.

Time passed unnoticed while decorating the room. A clap of thunder completed the picture of a typical summer thunderstorm. Soon Tamara Vasilievna dozed off to the steady pitter-patter of raindrops. And suddenly, being on the verge of sleep and reality, she heard an unfamiliar voice. Its invisible owner insistently demanded that Prosvirina go to the cemetery again. Why and for what purpose was not explained.

The elderly woman was unable to resist the telepathic order. She got dressed and, armed with a lantern, went out into the street.

From behind the nearest cemetery mound, someone’s huge, unblinking eyes stared at Tamara Vasilyevna. The pensioner, not at all frightened, came closer to the grave to get a better look at the owner of the strange look. It turned out to be a strange short (about twenty-five centimeters) creature. It was clearly not a person.

What did he look like?

The tiny onion-like head seemed to be composed of five petals. The “unknown animal” had no ears; most of the face was occupied by huge oval slanted cat eyes, the kind with which space aliens are usually depicted in pulp literature. The creature could not speak, however, in order to somehow attract the attention of Tamara Prosvirina, the alien whistled quietly and hoarsely. Apparently, it was the whistling that was the essence of speech on his distant home planet. But Tamara Vasilievna immediately understood what the little alien was trying to explain to her. Not even by the whistle, but by the plaintive, exhausted look.

The pensioner picked up the mysterious creature and, wrapping it in a scarf, set off on the way back. Arriving home, she wanted to take a better look at the little guest from another planet. Alyoshenka’s body (as Tamara Vasilievna called the alien to herself) was plump and swayed like jellied meat. Gray skin on the body and darker, brownish skin on the head resembled some kind of strange tan. There was no hair on the little alien. Instead of ears, there were small holes on the sides of the head. The nose, very small and flat, nevertheless allowed him to breathe in the earth's atmosphere.

The eyes were dark gray. There were no centuries. The vertical pupil, like that of a cat, constantly narrowed and then expanded.

Long fingers, five on the arms and legs, ended in sharp claws. The fact that Alyoshenka is not a person could be concluded from the fact that the creature did not have any sexual characteristics, as well as a navel, which all mammals have.

Alyoshenka loves caramels

Then the alien stretched out his small mouth with a tube and tried to whistle, but due to some unknown injuries, or maybe because of fatigue, the whistle did not work, only a plaintive hiss escaped from the alien’s lips.

“Yes, you’re probably hungry?” - thought Tamara Prosvirina. But it was not clear how to feed the alien. His mouth was small, like a hole, there were no lips as such, but he could stretch greatly. The alien had a full set of teeth in his mouth (though, as far as is known, they did not look like dentures). Two fangs on the lower jaw protruded strongly forward and were much larger than the other teeth.

Tamara Vasilievna, without further ado, slyly shoved a caramel into Alyoshenka’s mouth: since she can’t chew, maybe she can at least suck? And, indeed, the little alien quickly got used to it and began sucking on the barberry. Tamara Prosvirina gave her pet a teaspoon of boiled water or milk.

After eating, wet perspiration appeared on the alien’s body. At the same time, Alyoshenka began to emanate a sweet smell that quickly ate into furniture and clothes, somewhat reminiscent of cologne. Tamara Vasilievna wiped it with a cloth. The creature lay and hardly moved. Sometimes it just began to stretch out its thin legs, as if trying to stretch its limbs.

Death of a strange creature

The next day the whole village knew about the newcomer. One of the neighbors reported Tamara Vasilyevna, although not to the police. One rainy September day, an ambulance arrived in Kaolinovy ​​and took an old woman who was trying to explain to them about some child in the house to a mental hospital. Tamara's admonitions about Alyoshenka did not help her. It is quite natural that the doctors in the mental hospital did not take Prosvirina’s words seriously. “She’s delirious, this is absolutely normal given her illness,” the doctors decided.

Nobody believed her. And for the relatives, Prosvirina’s departure was a complete surprise, so no one came to care for the humanoid. Alyoshenka soon died from hunger and thirst. After death, his plump little body began to dry out and mummify on its own.

After death

Only one person remembered about the creature - Vladimir Nurdinov. He was allowed into Prosvirina’s house, and she once showed him a little foundling. When Nurdinov found out that Tamara Vasilievna was taken to a mental hospital, he decided to visit her house to pick up Alyoshenka. But Vladimir was late. When he arrived, the alien was no longer alive. On the bed rested an almost dry mummy, already only vaguely resembling a plump, jelly-like alien.

He didn't know what to do with the mummy. In addition, soon the police came to Vladimir Nurdinov’s house on suspicion of committing cable theft in the village of Novogorny. At the same time, the alien’s mummy was also seized, which was initially mistaken for an embalmed child’s body; the police took it from Nurdinov, as they say, until the circumstances were clarified.

Therefore, the corpse was given to investigators for examination.

Doctors unanimously stated that there are at least twenty key differences between a mummified creature and a person. Forensic experts did not allow the idea that Alyoshenka could be a mutant child. This version will be expressed only some time later by doctors at a regular hospital, to whom the mummy will be given for re-examination. Moreover, many quickly took this on faith, since the village is located in the zone of radioactive contamination that arose after the accident in Chelyabinsk in 1957. Since then, the birth of all kinds of freaks in those places has become not such a rarity.

Having taken the body back, the investigator began to study the alien version in his unofficial investigation, since higher officials forbade him to “do all sorts of nonsense.”

Losing the Alien Taurus

The investigator decided to seek, in his opinion, qualified advice from a ufological society called “Star Academy UFO-contact using the Zolotov method.” The Academy was located two hundred kilometers away, in Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk region.

The head of the society, Galina Semenkova, took the alien’s body so that ufologists could conduct an “astral check” of the mummy. After that, all attempts to contact Ms. Semenkova were unsuccessful; all calls were answered that she had gone to the store, was walking, or had gone on a business trip. Only recently, Galina Semenkova, at a ufological seminar in Tokyo, said that on the way back from the village, when she drove a car along the seventy-eighth kilometer of the Chelyabinsk highway, a flying saucer appeared above the vehicle. When she woke up, the alien's remains were not in the car.

The strange death of Tamara Prosvirina

The detective story connected with Alyoshenka continued. The Japanese called Tamara Prosvirina's relatives. They were making a film about the alien Alyoshenka and wanted to interview the mentally ill pensioner. But literally a few days before the film crew arrived from Japan, a tragedy occurred.

Late in the evening of August 5, 1999, Tamara Vasilievna somehow found herself on the roadway. Of all the clothes, the patient in the mental hospital had only socks. According to eyewitnesses, it seemed as if Prosvirina was going to someone’s call that was inaudible to the others. They wanted to take the woman away from the roadway, but they didn’t have time: two cars, as if drawn by some almighty force, came together like scissors in the place where the unfortunate sick woman stood. She died instantly, without even having time to understand what happened.

Eyewitness accounts

This story could have been mistaken for a tall tale, a kind of urban legend, if not for one, but many pieces of evidence. And not from the testimony of a crazy grandmother, as some call Tamara Prosvirina, but from completely adult and sensible people who saw Alyoshenka with their own eyes.

Here are some of them:

Tamara Prosvirina's daughter-in-law, also Tamara, saw "Alyoshenka" alive

Then I worked on a rotational basis as a cook. My husband Sergei was in prison. My mother-in-law lived alone, I visited her once every two weeks. I came to her one day and was laying out groceries in the kitchen. And she suddenly said: “We should feed the baby too!” I thought that she had an exacerbation of the disease, this had happened to her before. And she led me to the bed. I look: there is something beeping there. Or rather, it whistles. His mouth sticks out like a tube and his tongue moves. He is scarlet, with a spatula. And two teeth are visible. I took a closer look: he doesn’t look like a child. The head is brown, the body is gray, the skin is without veins. The eyelids are not visible. And a meaningful look! There are no genitals. And instead of a navel there is a smooth place. The head is onion-shaped, there are no ears, only holes. And eyes like a cat's. The pupil then expands and then contracts. The fingers and toes are long. The legs are folded into a trapezoid. The mother-in-law asked: “Where does this monster come from?” And she replied that she found it in the forest and called it “Alyoshenka.” She put a caramel in his mouth and he began to suck on it. And he drank water from a spoon. I thought it was an animal. My mother, Galina Artemyevna Alferova, saw him.

Vladimir Bendlin, Major of Justice, investigator of the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs

Having arrived from the investigative experiment, Evgeniy told me about what he saw in Nurdinov’s house. I was very interested in this, and I decided to see for myself, since our colleagues literally laughed at the man. I stocked up on a video camera, a camera, took a voice recorder and the next day I went to the village of Bezhelyak. There I met with Nurdinov’s parents; he himself was not there. And they showed me this mummy. They just let her look at her.

Seeing the mummy gave me a feeling that is difficult to describe. An unpleasant sight. This creature had a peculiar smell - not the same as the smell of a half-decomposed body. It was clear that the mummy had been dried without any saline solutions, just in the sun. The creature's skeleton was severely deformed, and it was difficult to determine anything. At the very least, there was a strong resemblance to a premature human fetus. On the other hand, this creature was very different from a human. Due to the nature of my service, I had to see criminal miscarriages and so on, but this is completely different: a miscarriage has a very large head and a small body, but here there was a proportional structure, that is, the head corresponded in size to an already relatively developed body. I decided to collect more information and somehow document what happened. Our duty department did not register this event: “Why is this? There’s no point.

Stanislav Samoshkin, pathologist

In 1996, at the request of the local police officer, I examined an unknown creature. According to the person who found it, the gynecologist (Irina Ermolaeva and urologist Igor Uskov) recognized this creature as an embryo. The examination took place in the sectional room, in the presence of a local police officer.

The corpse was mummified, the internal organs were missing, only the skeleton and the remains of the skin were presented. The creature was about 25 cm long. I was struck by the fact that the skull was tower-shaped, consisting of four bones - the occipital, frontal and two parietotemporal. Moreover, there is no clear division between the temporal and parietal bones. The structural features of the skull also include the fact that the brain section predominated over the facial section.

According to all anthropological indicators, this creature should be classified as intelligent, that is, not in the category of animals, because it is known that in the same monkeys the brain cavity of the skull is smaller than the face. The pelvic bones are formed according to the erectus type. The arms and legs were twisted, it was impossible to see the fingers, because the corpse was mummified. There were no internal organs.

I was asked to simply look and say, is it a human or an animal fetus? As far as I remember, we didn’t study such skeletons in zoology. It has been suggested that, at first glance, this is a creature that is not found on Earth. They offered to conduct an examination at the Chelyabinsk Forensic Bureau, where genetic research is carried out, but the owner of this corpse refused everything and said that he would decide what to do with it. Then the corpse was taken away, and its further fate is unknown to me.

Can anything be said about the limbs? About their length and other parameters?

The proportionality of the skeletal structure did not meet the normal standards of the average person. The arms, presumably - if they had been able to straighten them, since the corpse was mummified - reached somewhere to the level of the knees. I repeat, presumably. I did not straighten the limbs, because the question was not to touch the corpse at all. Just examine it and say whether it is a human fetus or something else, since the district police officer turned to me with the question: is this creature a miscarriage, should I initiate a criminal case or not. We limited ourselves to inspection; no other additional studies were done. There were no teeth. It is almost impossible to judge what gender it was. In any case, this was the first time I encountered the features of such a skeleton. Well, when you don’t know, it’s better not to interfere...

Romanova Lyubov Stepanovna, laboratory assistant at the city hospital

“In 1996,” she said, “at the beginning of August, they brought us the mummified corpse of a little man. It cannot be said that it was a child or a miscarriage. In a word - a small corpse. His skin was half-decayed in the abdomen and on the limbs.

The bones were intact. Regular arms and legs. Tissue is preserved on the back and shoulder area. The head was in the form of a helmet, the skull consisted of four bones connected at the top. There were no auricles. Very large almond-shaped eye sockets. The remaining areas of skin on the back and shoulders were grayish-brown - I think this is all from the sun, the fabric dries out and gives this color.

This little man, as he was called “Alyoshenka,” still did not crawl, but walked upright, like an ordinary person. I think so. It's a shame he disappeared. It was a very interesting, unique case. Scientists would like to get to know him better!

Do you think this creature could be of extraterrestrial origin, or is it some kind of miscarriage, a genetically altered living creature?

No. I have been working as a laboratory assistant in a hospital for a very long time. Of course, he doesn’t look like a miscarriage, this “Alyoshenka”. At that time I didn’t think that this was an extraterrestrial being - unusual, that’s all. But of course it doesn’t look like a miscarriage, because the structure of the bones and head is very strange. This cannot happen in a human miscarriage.

Were the internal organs somehow different from human ones?

There were no internal organs there. It was a mummified corpse. It was dried out, with barely preserved skin in some places and bare bones.

Do you think it was an adult or a child?

I believe that this is still a creature similar to a child, but not ours, not a human child. Such a small creature. He must have been pretty, because he had such huge eye sockets and a helmet-like head. He's interesting, of course.

What do you think, was it an intelligent creature or not?

I don't even know how to answer. I can't judge this.

What about the structure of the skull?

According to the structure of the skull, the head corresponds to the development of his arms, legs and torso.

Could there be a brain there, like a human's?

Well, I guess I could. If we opened it, we would have looked.

And you weren't given the opportunity to open it?

No. When they brought him to us, there was no order or direction for an autopsy, and without them we do not have the right to do this. That's why we refused to open it. And yet, there was no expert. Otherwise, it would be possible to open it even for the sake of curiosity... Well, that’s all. Then he was taken away and I don’t even know where.

Interview with Tamara Prosvirina herself

This film is now a real rarity. On it, the deceased Tamara Prosvirina herself talks about what happened.

There is an elderly woman on the screen. She is wearing a wrinkled green hospital gown. She has her hair cropped, her gaze wandering. She is taken out into the yard. The woman stumbles and almost falls - a nurse catches her by the elbow.

This is Prosvirina in a psychiatric hospital,” explains the investigator. And he adds: “The conversation with her was conducted informally and has no legal force...

The woman in the frame, although with difficulty, identifies herself. Her speech is slurred: a nervous tic is interfering. She licks her lips all the time.

She is asked a question about who “Alyoshenka” is. The pause seems like an eternity. The old lady finally answers:

Son.

Where did you get it from? The woman raises her head and looks at the sky for a long time. Finally he says:

Found it under a tree. He was lying head down. I quickly shook it off and put it down.

What did this place look like?

In the forest... There was hail and thunder... My Alyoshenka, I will write him down under my last name.

He died.

Yes, he died.

Yes you?!

She cries, smearing the violently gushing tears with her fists. Then he asks a question:

There was no food.

The patient looks directly into the camera. On her face there is such great grief that even the most brilliant actress could not play. Through the sobs you can hear: “Poor thing! I told the doctors - I have a baby there... Let me go...” She sobs, then they take her away.

"Extraterrestrial"

Based on the story of the Kyshtym dwarf Alyoshenka, the film “Extraterrestrial” was made in 2007 with the already deceased Yuri Stepanov in the title role. The plot of the film is as follows: a resident of a small village not far from Chernobyl - Semenov - finds a strange little creature in the house of his half-insane mother-in-law. He shows Yegorushka to his neighbor, policeman Sasha. The local police officer brings the material evidence home and, despite his wife’s protests, puts it... in the refrigerator.

As required by law, the policeman reports the discovery to his superiors and insists on an examination. This is where it all begins. Sasha’s wife leaves, an old woman dies under strange circumstances, a ufologist appears in the village and, on top of that, a policeman, a former Chernobyl survivor, begins to be haunted by visions.
