Viktor Doroshin is an artist by profession, and he also runs the Neptune tourist club of the Krasnoarmeisky district. He goes in for kayaking and teaches others about it. He says that 25 rivers have passed in forty years. Over the years, I have met a lot of interesting, sometimes inexplicable
- In Karelia they saw a completely black forest, - Doroshin begins. - Not burned out, not eaten by pests, but died in some unnatural way. The impression is that they tested weapons and destroyed nature. Traces of a mysterious animal were once found on Khopr. Three-hoofed.
- A horse leaves one whole imprint from a foot, a cow is a cloven-hoofed creature. And it was a large footprint, the size of a large human palm, only the hoof was divided into three parts. He is sure that someone heavy passed - the trail was deep. - I told my friend Lyudmila Golovkina about this. It turns out that she also heard about the three-hooded beast. There was a TV show about this, but there they said all sorts of nonsense, as if this beast with a human face.
But the most mysterious thing in his life Doroshin met last summer. In August, they went kayaking along the Khopr and Don to Serafimovich. The last night was planned for the Ostroukhov farm of the Kumylzhensky district. We decided to go there for food - we got tired on the way, and there was still a day of rafting ahead. The farm is not visible from the river, the bank is too steep. Then the plain begins. On this "plateau" Ostroukhov stands. - Above the farm begins a mountain, in front of it - pyramids. Not hills, but pyramids, the artist says.
- In the form, I could not be mistaken. He counted six such structures. As if they were arranged in a checkerboard pattern, they were almost as high as a four-story building. True, the raftsmen observed them from afar, so they could not determine the exact dimensions.
The group included a locksmith from the Caustic plant Sergey Galstyan, he told AiF - NP that the hills are really interesting: beautiful, even, they stand in a row. True, he thought that nature had tried so hard. I noticed one peculiarity: there is not a bush on any of these hills, although trees grow near the chalk mountain and below it.
The administration of the Slashchevskoye rural settlement, which includes Ostroukhov, has not heard of the pyramids. Probably because it is far from him. Closer to this farm is the village of Bukanovskaya, but its administration does not know anything about the incomprehensible hills either. Well, if this is just a natural phenomenon, the employees of the Nizhnekhopyorsky Natural Park should have heard about it anyway.
Alas, even the head of the tourism department, Natalya Nesutulova, does not know about the pyramids or anything similar in that area. She calls a specialist Elena Upornikova - she certainly met those hills, she lived in Ostroukhov for so many years.
“I saw this house at the foot, but no pyramids,” the woman is slightly upset. - Ask my dad, he grazed cattle there.
Elena's father, Gennady Leshchenko, could not help with anything either: - For a long time I was not in that direction, and when I was, I did not pay attention. I do not know.
A resident of the farm, Sergei Dolgov, met with the rafters in August - they went to the post office to send a telegram. And I haven't seen any hills or pyramids. I assumed that they were somewhere there, according to Khopr. Strange, I should have noticed such tall ones … A thought crept in: isn't this a fake photo? If the picture were digital, one would suspect the author of "photoshop". But it was printed from a simple film on ordinary photographic paper, and Viktor Andreevich Doroshin is too old to be engaged in nonsense. In addition, the objects were seen by several raftsmen at once.
The leader-kayaker thought about all this for a long time and came to the conclusion that the hills are bulk: - Nature cannot fashion a figure so clearly. These pyramids are like stamped ones. But the material is apparently local. And if everything worked out naturally, then it's still a miracle.
This is how the head of the Volga group for the study of anomalous phenomena Gennady Belimov is ready to see strange pyramids: perhaps it was a short-term penetration into a parallel world. He offered to meet with the Volgograd pensioner Rosa Glazunova, in whose life there was something similar.
Roza Konstantinovna willingly told how in 1948 she went with her grandmother to the Miroshniki farm of the Kotovsky district. We went down from the chalk mountains, passed the Grechany farm and saw a blue-blue lake. - Unusual, it has never been there before, - Roza Konstantinovna is sure. - It was unbearably hot, I wanted to go into the water, but my grandmother didn’t allow: “Look, it has no bottom!” Many years later. Once Rosa Konstantinovna told her aunt about that case. It turned out that she also saw a wonderful lake in that place, she even swam in it with her friends at the teacher's college. When we walked back, there was no more water."
