In December 2008, the Russian Ufological Research Station RUFORS made an expedition to the Kola Peninsula. Its basic task was to find traces of the legendary Hyperborea, which, as scientists have cautiously said in recent years, became the place where Russian nationality came from, and which fundamentally influenced the development, science and culture of other countries…

Alexander Barchenko - Searching for ancient knowledge

One gloomy autumn evening of 1918, the management of the Baltic Fleet was unusually busy in a smoky hall. A large, long-unshaven man in a shabby gray cloak and round goggles stood in front of the sailors and soldiers on the stage. He spoke and gestured very vividly and quickly drew notes on the board about ancient civilizations, secret knowledge and general equality. "The Golden Age is the Great World Federation of Nations, built on the foundations of pure ideological communism, which once ruled all over the Earth," said Alexander Vasilyevich Barchenko. "Her rule lasted about one hundred and forty-four thousand years. Around nine thousand BC BC, an attempt was made to restore this federation to the same extent in present-day Afghanistan, Tibet, and India. It is an epoch known in legends as Foliage. The Rama Federation existed in full bloom for about three thousand six hundred years and finally disintegrated after the Irsh Revolution. "

Barchen's lectures were so popular that special attention was paid to them by the special department of VČK / OGPU (VČK, so-called. Waiting - secret police in Soviet Russia; OGPU - unified state political administration, note. translated) led by Gleb Boki. The Chekists were not so much interested in Alexander Vasilyevich's historical research, but especially in his success in experiments on human telepathic abilities, which he conducted as an active collaborator of the Bechterev Institute of Brain and Psychic Activity, and in the results of expeditions to Sejdozer. (the name of the lake, Seidozero, noteworthy). Great attention was paid to an unusual disease that spread among the northern nations and especially on the Kolumbian peninsula. Barchenko considered this special state, which was called "emerik" or "arctic hysteria", For something resembling mass psychosis. It usually manifested itself during magical rituals, but it could also have arisen spontaneously. In such moments, people carried out any orders without apology, could predict the future, not even being stabbed. It is understandable that such an unusual form of mental state could not escape the attention of the OGPU.

Barchenko assumed that in the past there was a powerful civilization on the Kola Peninsula, whose inhabitants knew the secrets of atomic fission and ways to obtain inexhaustible sources of energy. Gleb Bokija's special section was also interested in how to gain similar knowledge that would allow access to the technologies of ancient civilizations, the existence of which the OGPU staff was well aware of. He considered Barchenko to be the guardian of secret knowledge, the "nueites," Lapland wizards who, in his opinion, were the clergy of the very mysterious civilization that passed on its secrets from generation to generation. Even before arriving on the Kola Peninsula, Barchenko was initiated into the secrets of the northern tradition, which was a real history of the development and enslavement of Slavic-Aryan civilization.

Barchenko has also found tangible traces, and they have consolidated his theory of the existence of civilization, which they subsequently called hyperborean. The first finding was the gigantic depiction of a seventy-foot "old man" Kujva on one of the rocks. The second "old man" of his expedition later discovered on the adjacent rock. A legend tells Samas about how these impressions appeared. According to her, the Sami once struggled long ago with the "chudge" (wonder - mythological beings similar to the European elves and gnomes). The Sami won and forced them to flee. These beings went underground, but their two warlords came on their horses to Sejdozer, skipping it, but crashing against a rock on the opposite bank and staying here forever.

Other notable finds have been made, such as cobbled areas in the tundra, considered to be the remains of an ancient road in hard-to-reach places where there were no roads at all, massive machined granite blocks or buildings on top of the mountain and in pyramids that resembled pyramids. Such blocks were also seen and photographed by participants in the December RUFORS expedition to the Kola Peninsula. But the least expected find was a manhole, sinking into the depths of the earth, which is considered sacred by Sami. However, Barchenko's co-workers could not penetrate him because they felt a growing terror. Upon contact with the locals, it became clear that there were several such manholes and caves, and through them it was possible to get to the remains of ancient underground structures.

Valley of stone people

However, Barchenko was not the first to penetrate the secrets of the mysterious northern country. In the summer of 1887, the Great Scientific Expedition (as it was later called in the reports) of Finnish scientists set out for the Kola Peninsula. Its head was Johan Axel Palmén, an ornithologist and professor at the University of Helsinki.

They discovered a mysterious place in the area of ​​Sejdozer. There were stones that terrified them by resembling human figures. According to local people, it was a kingdom of evil spirits. Legend has it that there is an ancient fortified settlement under the swamps, where gnomes with dead people sit in a circle underground. But scientists paid very little attention to myths and legends, as their own feelings were enough for them to understand the atmosphere of this place:

 "I was not the only one who looked in amazement at what opened before us," said Petteri Ketola Jr., one of the participants in the Great Expedition. "The first sight of an island in the swamp was literally scary. Like we came to the land of the dead. There were stone people everywhere. They sat motionless, reconciled to their infinite destiny. It was as if they were looking at us with numb stone faces. It was like a nightmare. I felt that I would soon petrify myself. The scientists were also amazed. They immediately understood that in this place, where the crystal stones had the strangest shapes, they made the most important geological discovery of this expedition. The molten, glass-like mass hardened to form strange figures. The magma that surrounded it has weathered over the millennia, unlike the "heart" of stones, glass cordierite (inconspicuous mineral, sometimes called iolite, noteworthy).

There were human figures in various positions. Some sat with their legs bent as if by the fire. There was also a tall, stocky woman with a stone cast iron pot between her knees and a child in her arms. There was water in the pot and mosquito larvae in it. You could also see here as if fused people, deformed monsters and bodies without heads and limbs. Between the stones was a strong carbonated spring, the temperature of which was six or seven degrees even in winter. In the freezing season, the landscape is covered with thick fog. This is where the Sami ideas of smoke coming from under the earth come from. They say they are drowning in stone houses. "
