Nizhneudinsk

Psychics arrived to Nizhneudinsk. Summer. There was a heat.

Came into the local museum. Here they listened to lecture:

– Nizhneudinsk is a provincial town with the population about 40000 inhabitants. Here locomotive and carriage depot, oil pumping station. At the Soviet power worked: mica factory, creamery, confectionery, brewery. Someone from old residents remembers those times when beer of local production in glass container on free sale never was. There was it quality and where – that it was sent. Here on flood in cafe please.

Here Gleb Krzhizhanovsky famous as the developer of the plan of GOELRO (the state electrification of all Russia) lived in exile. Dmitry Kashik was marked out here. Long time the club of Kashik worked.

But the greatest interest for us is represented by Alexander Kolchak. Supreme governor of Russia, and her Supreme Commander. Here he was detained by allies. Here he dismissed the protection in number of 500 people. I suggested in the evening the subordinates to go together with it on an old path, to the south to China through Mongolia. But for the morning at it remained faithful 10 people. The baron refused fight, it isn’t clear for what reason. Whether forces weren’t equal, could give battle. Whether I trusted in the general without honor Zhanet who handed over it to Mensheviks. Or the admiral was tired to be at war. Now nearly hundred years later it is hard to say about motives of his behavior. It is authentically known that he stayed under secret arrest two weeks here.

As for gold which was in its echelon, there is a lot of versions. The truth is shrouded in mystery. They say that protection of an echelon went ungifted away not. Hearings go that part of precious metal is dug in these regions, namely near Nizhneudinsk.
