Not belittling a grief of victims in an air crash near Irkutsk, we
We urge to recollect and that which alive have burnt down kids, and them
The lost tutors, and let too late but to give
Human debt of sympathy suddenly to the deserted parents.
In 1970 a kindergarten hidden in massive fur-trees on
Lenin's to central street, have decided to make experimental.
Thirty pupils from three till seven years grew in one
To group where seniors watched the younger. It was the most prestigious
Kindergarten in area. Without communications here did not get. Many
Parents started all - office position,
Acquaintances, money, - only to attach in this garden of the
Kids.
This day in a garden there were 23 children, the tutor, the cook and the nurse.
Time approached by noon. Senior cook Elena covered in
Dining room by a dinner. In half an hour from walk should return
Children.

Ten minutes earlier from airport "п я п п я п?п п?" the new has taken off
The military-transport plane - "An-26". Six skilled pilots and
Two instructors piloted the car. They had time to make only one
Bend over Baltic sea. Engines have suddenly given up. The plane
Has started to lose height.
The first falling "An-26" the teacher of physical culture of one has noticed of
Svetlogorsk schools. "Stop!" - he has shouted to schoolboys,
When those have rushed to run in all directions. Children have stood. The plane
Has rounded sports stadium, nearly has not touched with a wing a big wheel
In culture park - also "has landed" on that elite children's
Garden.
Chances to be rescued at children and workers of a garden were not...
Murder of children has torn off a life of parents.
23 lives have broken in few seconds. 23 families could not
To go through loss. Today many of those parents already are not present in the live.
The majority of families at once have left Svetlogorsk. Someone to these
Time there passes treatment in psychiatric clinic. Some mothers
After May tragedy have committed suicide. Their histories
Lives are restored on memoirs of eyewitnesses.

The daughter, I has given up at once job. Has solved for what not to give it in
Kindergarten. But school time has then come. So all seven years, while
It goes to school, I do not find every day to myself a place. If lessons

Average years. It performs the heaviest job: drags buckets with
Sand and huge logs, kneads clay... At it the sad person,
It does not remove black clothes and always one goes. Once we
Have faced it in an old churchlet. She assiduously prayed. I
Has tried to start talking to it. Conversation was not glued. I have told, that
In a week I am going to to leave to have a rest to Svetlogorsk. It
Has begun to cry. It appears, 30 years after death of the son it
Gratuitously builds temples and for days on end prays. These flowers it

It ".
In ten years the grandmother has died. Before death it has punished
To Sergey: "Grand daughters, devote the life to service to the Lord - after all

Values to words of the old grandmother, and Serezha has remembered them for ever.
* * * Today in Svetlogorsk does not remain almost anybody from those
People whom this air crash directly has concerned. Those who not
Has left a city, do not wish to be frank with journalists:

Today already it is necessary nothing for us, after all at many were not saved
Even photos of children! - the judge of the Svetlogorsk national speaks
Vessels, mum lost Viki Gvozdevoj. - Me then 25 years were.
The daughter at first all time with the grandmother sat. But mum early
Has died.
It was necessary to attach to Vick in a kindergarten. The girl and month there not
Went... It is surprising, that military men have hidden from all of us the reasons
Accidents, criminal case to get did not become. Speak, was
Any trial at military level, but anybody from
Parents there have not admitted. And the city authorities not that that
Indemnification have not paid, but even funeral has not paid... I
Has given birth to one more daughter - too Vikoj has named.
The б destruction of plane "An-26" has appeared act of terrorism?
In half an hour after explosion on a tragedy place all was going to
Flight structure of a military part of airdrome "п я п п я п?п п?". A city have surrounded.
Electricity have switched off. In one of houses of Svetlogorsk not
Phone worked. At 24 o'clock in resort small town have entered
State of emergency.
- It reminded war, - inhabitants of Svetlogorsk recollect. - on
To all streets have placed the armed soldiers, to us have forbidden not
Only to get out for city limits, but even to leave the own
At home...
For one night military men have cleaned all territory of the former children's
Garden. On a tragedy place have broken a bed. Nearby have planted the new
Trees. That more reminded nothing of the happened.
Only two women from were in a kindergarten premise on
Lucky coincidence have survived in this accident: the teacher
Tamara Jankovskaja and the girlfriend povarihi Ekaterina Vorona.
- I worked in the next sanatorium, in a break have run to
To the girlfriend on a half-hour, - recollects the Raven. - has helped to place
Plates. Left from it in the next room. I a back have leant to
To case, and the girlfriend was by the window. Suddenly all began to be strewed, fall,
Noise stood the unimaginable... To Understand, what's happened, was
It is impossible. To me has had the luck: about me the beam, I has fallen
It has appeared in an aperture. The girlfriend has filled up. I have seized her hand - but it
Did not move any more...
In some minutes in a court yard the gas began to blow up
Cylinders. In outer darkness Ekaterina has reached a window.
- I have not believed to the eyes. Light, people... Began to get out
Through a window, - it continues. - I creep out - half burnt,
All in a dirt... Most close to me there was a fireman. From unexpectedness
He has thrown a hose and has escaped. Was frightened, probably?.
After an hour military men have found Tamara Jankovsky. Both of them,
Burnt, hardly live, have brought to hospital.
- Oh, not to survive to me... - lamented in an ambulance car
Tamara.
- Yes is not present, now precisely we will not die, - calmed her
Ekaterina Vorona.
Except relatives, them in hospital daily came to see
Employees of KGB. Ekaterina Voronu have written out earlier. Tamara
Jankovsky remained in hospital for some months.
Gradually its status began to improve. One of these days it should
Were to write out... In the Morning into day of an extract to it in chamber has come
The doctor on duty. The woman did not breathe. Sudden cardiac arrest.
Openings to spend did not become.
Lost children and tutors have buried in a communal grave on
Unique Svetlogorsk cemetery, near to the railway
Stations Svetlogorsk-1. When there was a question on burial here
Military pilots, parents have protested.
Townsmen did not doubt, that a principal cause of their б destruction
Children there was a crew negligence. Then many hearings went on
To air crash occasion. One said, that pilots before a start
Have strongly got drunk, others - that were badly prepared, and only
Some person a city did not doubt, that accident was
In advance planned act of terrorism.
Today in military station at airdrome "п я п п я п?п п?" does not remain
Any person who knew that eight of lost pilots. All
The information was saved at level of hearings. It is known only, that new
The plane have let to master the most skilled pilots of a part. And to
To fatal flight they prepared more year.
- We know, that the engine has given up in air at the plane, all
Flight qualities of the car have been lost, - the commander tells
Military unit "п я п п я п?п п?" Nikolay Dubrovsky. - in this situation
To make anything it is impossible. Especially they have got to a zone of the strong
Fog also did not see, where flied. The kindergarten has appeared a place
Falling by tragical accident...
Families of the lost pilots had to leave "Hrabrovo" and
To get over far away from Kaliningrad. Any monuments any
The flight structure did not organise burial places. Svetlogortsy in the
Names of military men on a memorial board have forbidden to enter turn.
On a kindergarten place in 1994 have constructed a temple-chapel.
The small chapel looks a nursery. Inside - a tiny iconostasis and
Tiny icons. All is equipped just for children detsadovskogo
Age.
Every year on May, 16th here there come pilots from "Hrabrovo".
