Until today, in the field of the past militarybattles and battles occur inexplicable, full of various mystical details of history. It seems that time stands still. These areas include the village of Myasnoy Bor (Novgorod region). Death Valley - the name this place has received from archaeologists.
This forest marshland surroundinga village with a rather strange name, it has a separate page in the history of the Second World War. It is the largest place in the world, which is completely covered with the remains of the dead soldiers of the Soviet army.
The results of the excavations being carried out here.almost year-round, testify to the terrible facts that hide Myasnoy Bor. Death Valley (the lists of soldiers killed here are constantly expanding and contain names belonging to thousands of unburied heroes) is located to the north-west of the village. A description of the incredible stories that are associated with the heroism of the soldiers can be found even in the works of the military historian Boris Gavrilov.
The village owes its unusual earthe slaughterhouse that once housed here. The correct name of the village, near which is Death Valley - Myasnoy Bor. People who were natives of this settlement tell an amazing story. It deals with a strange local old man who lived here at the beginning of the last century. He had the fame of a madman, as he constantly asserted that the name of the village would sooner or later justify itself. There will be a lot of blood spilled on the ground. Therefore, the coming generations will assume that the name comes precisely from this, and not from the presence of a slaughterhouse. But no one could even suggest that the prediction was destined to come true in the near future ...
At the end of 1941, during the war, the Sovietsoldiers carried out the operation of the release of Leningrad. It was in that place near the village where Death Valley is located (Myasnoy Bor) that the Red Army broke through the fascist defense. The resulting gap was used by the soldiers of the 2nd Shock Army. They quickly advanced their positions on it to an important strategic object - the densely populated Luban.
For this corridor clearance, which arose nearMeat Bora, were very fierce battles. For seven months during 1941-1942, the dimensions of the aisle were constantly changing: now its width was 3-4 kilometers, then it was narrowed to 300 meters of a completely sweepable space. This brought additional difficulties that arose during the supply of supplies to the Red Army through such an unreliable corridor. This was the main reason that the Luban operation failed and the 2nd Shock Army completely disappeared.
June 25, 1942 the German army and the SpanishBlue Division eliminated this corridor. This contributed to the complete encirclement of the 2nd Shock Army. Trying to escape, most of her soldiers died. Others were captured.
There is a lot in Russiaareas where soldier blood was shed. But Meat Bor owns a special place. The wooded and marshy lands of the Novgorod region are inherently quite scary places. And if the swamps, forest edges, country roads are filled with an incredible amount of whitening human bones, they become completely creepy.
Discover this area is very difficult, thereforeDeath Valley (Meat Bor) is a place where there are no random people. Here are only remnants of the narrow gauge railway, dating back to the times of military operations. There are swamps around it, so the road here is very difficult. Often there are only search engines that are trying to find the remains of Soviet fighters, and chernokopatel, seeking military values. Although each year the innumerable corpses of our military are raised and reburied by search teams, they do not become less.
Many years have passed since those memorable times whenthere was a tragedy of Meat Bor, but even nowadays in the Death Valley live people meet with the dead. The brightest of all known is the story of Vasily Roshev, a search engine from Novgorod.
Almost everyone who was destined to know about himat least once to visit the area called Death Valley (Meat Bor). Almost every summer for 10 years, he came here to carry out excavations and search for soldiers' remains. He performed their reburial on the territory of the local cemetery in accordance with all Christian laws.
At about the age of thirty Roshev began to have dreams aboutmilitary events: attacks, battles and death. At night, he strangely woke up, ran to a place and left a stick with his neckcloth there. And in the morning there were digging up the remains of a soldier, or even a few.
When did archeologists want to take a picturenear one of the funnels, the figure in a strange way showed the figures behind Vasily. This was not the only such case. Almost all the photos behind the scientist were some figures.
Communication of this forest with humanity takes placein an extraordinary way. Someone can get into it without problems, but for someone the entrance here is closed. According to the stories of local residents, to our time, here you can hear the voices of men, the smell of a shag or how the branches squeak. But when you scream, no one responds ...
Then it becomes very creepy.First, this silent silence, and then again the sounds of voices and gunfire. Myasnoy Bor - Russian Death Valley, where you can not hear the birds singing. They are simply not here. They may come back here when absolutely all the dead will be reburied.
Death Valley is a repentance valley not only for those who are somehow connected with this place, but also for all of us who owe their peaceful life to those whose remains are there.
