Suddenly, newspapers began to write about the inconspicuous village of Molebka, Kishert district, Perm region, and in an adventurous manner. The newspaper “Molodaya gvardiya” started in 1987, continued by the Riga “Soviet Youth” in 1989 and then this information appeared everywhere, including newspapers with the name “Ilyich's Way”.
The bottom line is this: the geologist Emil Bachurin (1935-2009) discovered here a zone in which the clock runs as he pleases, the animals do not live, the tractors stall, and strange things happen. All newspapers were bypassed by a strange case with shabashniki from Moldova, who built hangars, but suddenly fled without even receiving a payment. They were very scared and couldn't explain anything. It happened in 1983.
Further more. Expeditions, led by Emil Bachurin, found traces in the snow from flying saucers. Soon the UFOs themselves began to fly here and there in the Perm region. They were also seen over pioneer camps in the Kukushtan area, and over Zaostrovka, according to eyewitnesses, a real battle took place: several saucers were firing rays into another UFO, while performing aerobatics.
Dozens and then hundreds of enthusiasts from all over the country went to Molebka. By 1990, the bill went to the thousands, co-operators began to organize excursions here under the tempting name "Stalker". “Through Molebka, wave after wave, nomadic tribes of ufologists are rolling,” wrote Yuri Belikov, a journalist whose article began the victorious procession of zone M.
Local residents tried to dispel these myths, wrote letters to various newspapers, informing that there was no zone here, no UFOs, but it was all in vain. By the 2000s, they reconciled and even erected a monument to the alien Alyosha at the entrance to the village.
