He flew here in a time machine from the 23rd century - Evgeny Iosifovich Gaiduchok

Zhirnovsk is a small town in the Volgograd region, it is worth noting that the anomalous Medveditskaya ridge is located 15 kilometers from this town. It was here that a man lived who claimed to be an alien from the future of the 23rd century. His name was Evgeny Iosifovich Gaiduchok. His time machine crashed in the 1930s.

This man lived an interesting life and left behind an invaluable legacy, including the "Timeline" describing events up to the 23rd century, this tape was kept in the form of paintings in the historical museum he founded, but contemporaries did not appreciate the importance of this information, home archives were destroyed by an unexpected fire in the basement of his house, after his death. The "Timeline" kept in the museum was also practically lost. It is sad that the information about our past and future, left to us by a man who came from the 23rd century, was ineptly lost …

There are only memories of the recently deceased ufologist Vadim Chernobrov, who met with Yevgeny Iosifovich several times in 1985. Below is a chapter from his book that describes these encounters.

Other Times: HEROES NOT OUR TIME

"We are people, and our destiny is to learn about mysterious worlds and invade them."

(George Bernard SHOW).

I doubted for a long time, not knowing where to start my story about this amazing and mysterious person. He came up with dozens of different options for an exciting plot and mind-blowing (as it seemed to me) plot development. But the further he perfected and refined his documentary story about a real person, the more the hero in him became like a character in a science fiction novel. How can you make this person a real tangible figure in the eyes of the reader? In the end, I had to sacrifice artistry and move on to the direct presentation of this story …

To tell the truth, in fact, it all started very simply, without any adventures. This man came up to me and after a short introduction said: "I flew here in a time machine !! - and introduced himself: - Evgeny Iosifovich." What do you think I should have responded to that ?! Before saying "goodbye", I asked why he was saying all this to me, and I hear obvious nonsense in response: he allegedly read about a time machine … with me! It was impossible, because at that time my book on Time did not even exist in drafts. However, I did not explain all this. What for? What will you take from the patient ?!

The version about mental illness was the very first and the most logical, and now, so many years later, I sometimes return to this saving thought, and if it were true, everything would have been greatly simplified in this story. Looking ahead, I will say that I found out from the local doctors - he is a person who is absolutely healthy mentally. On the contrary, as I later had the opportunity to make sure that he had a very sharp and perceptive mind. In response to my goodbye, he replied with the same banal "goodbye", but with an emphasis, as it were, he emphasized that the meeting would take place without fail.

It cannot be said that now the idea of time travel has taken possession of the masses, but in those years, any mention of one's own flight in a time machine served as a pass to a psychiatric hospital, even better than the almost anecdotal statement "I am Napoleon!" There were very few people who could believe or at least listen to this statement: in just a couple of months a small note about the famous physicist Kip TORNE will flash in the newspaper "Socialist Industry", who finally theoretically substantiated the possibility of creating a MV, a year later similar the book will be published by the Moscow scientist Igor NOVIKOV.

Probably, I should have believed it too. Evgenits Iosifovich could not have known about this, but, indeed, for about a year already my (first) article about experiments with Time and the possibility of creating a MV was in one of the editions.(But not everything is so simple! The editor of the department by the name of Chudakov, now a retired journalist, himself probably considered me an eccentric. And what would he and everyone else think if it became known that in pursuit of unnecessary evidence of what I wrote I got in touch with the insane? !! The best discrediting and it is impossible to think of) … That is why, and not why more, I instinctively reinsured myself (which, probably, now I am trying to justify myself to myself for missed opportunities).

It took, however, about two years, curiosity gradually took up and taking with me as an official pretext for the "inadvertent" resumption of the conversation a couple of my own, already published by that time, articles on this topic, I hit the road. The impression was that Yevgeny Iosifovich was waiting for this visit, in any case he did not express the slightest surprise about this. The conversation turned on its own about politics (the most fashionable topic of the times of Perestroika), the upcoming elections of the first president of Russia …

"Yes, it's an interesting time now!" - I quote his words not quite literally, - "They will definitely elect Yeltsin to the presidency, it is clear to everyone. Gorbachev will leave, the USSR will disintegrate, the war between Armenians and Azeybardzhans will continue, but Moldova, Georgia, Checheno-Ingushetia, Middle Asia … There is also Ukraine like a toothache … "He told, in general, incredible things, backing up the conclusions with quite logical facts; all this was extremely interesting, but it was time to take the bull by the horns …

- Evgeny Iosifovich, all this is quite convincing, did you happen to find out about all this in the Future? - just in case he smiled, and suddenly his previous statement about the time machine was just a joke ?!

No, in fact, I didn't know the story so well, and I managed to forget a lot.

I would have known that the story could be useful to me, maybe everything would not have been so … - he lit cigarettes ("Damn habit, I will not get out of the habit!"), working day) and began to speak. Neither I, nor the one to whom I later gave to listen to four fully recorded cassettes, had never heard a more surprising and at the same time unrealistic oral story.

In view of the fact that Evgeny Iosifovich quite often made significant digressions, I cite the story with extremely large abbreviations:

I was then, in the 23rd century, still a very young teenager. Once, together with a girl slightly older than me, we got inside a time machine. How and for what purpose - I will take this secret with me to the grave … We were going to go to a much earlier Time, but it just so happened that in the thirties of this (your) century we had an accident …

I hit my head hard, in such a state it made no sense to fly further.

My companion was not in the best position. But it was not the physical injuries that were most terrible …

Horror gripped us when it turned out that the damaged Machine could not bring us back !! Perhaps there was some way out of this situation, but then I was just an ignorant boy, and all I could think of was to lighten the car by the weight of myself. Let at least one person fly home, and so without hesitation I pushed the girl inside. In addition, it could happen that the car does not have enough energy to reach the XXIII century, but wherever it made an emergency landing, everywhere it would be closer to its Time and further from your cruel century. Staying in the twentieth century is much more terrifying than somewhere … later. Moreover, we, though weakly, still knew how dangerous that place and exactly the time where we were …

USSR - early thirties …

That is why I stayed in your Time. At first I hoped for some help, but no one came to pick me up … Because of the injury, I was ill for some time, good people picked me up, and their family later became my own. And although the attitude towards me was good, nevertheless, I must admit, I almost hated this Time. The first shock passed when I rode a bicycle for the first time in my life. The most unforgettable experience !!! Yes, and the XX century has its own little joys!..

Then he grew up, went to study in Leningrad as a librarian. I began to meet with writers, mostly young ones, who were just beginning to write timidly at that time, but who, as I remembered, would certainly become famous. Do not be surprised that I now have so many manuscripts and autographs of writers.

I remembered that senseless arrests and executions of innocent people would soon begin, which would later be condemned by everyone, including the Soviet people themselves. How petty and meaningless are all these revolutions, wars, all this vanity, if you know in advance what it will lead to.

I, as a foreign person in this Time, could not interfere in anything. Yes, and there was no desire to participate in everything that was happening, it's like reading a detective story with a famous ending. But it's one thing to know about upcoming events, another thing to be able to use your knowledge. At home, we are not particularly accustomed to keeping our mouths shut, and besides, I "knew too much", so I blurted out too much. The formal reason was that I allegedly carried in my jacket pocket a photograph of Stalin with his eyes pierced with a pin …

… The cell where I was placed was small, but the people in it were too busy. The "articles" were mostly "political", although the men were mostly illiterate. An exception was one officer, he was "brought under the article" by a neighbor who did not like other people's cucumber beds under the window; the neighbor himself was sitting in the next cell, others "snitched" on him. The officer told me how to get out of prison alive. He realized that I am a smart guy, but I don't understand anything in the "modern moment". Now, when the overseer brought the daily portion of smoking paper into the cell, the peasants patiently waited for a long time while I made fragments of newspapers from scraps and gave them collective readings. For the company then I got involved in smoking (there was no such stupid habit in the Future), but after a couple of months I understood politics perfectly well. It also helped that, unlike the others, I knew the true goals of Stalin and Hitler, which means I could read "between the lines" …

I was released before the war. He ended up serving in the airfield service of a bomber regiment near Baku. During the Finnish war, everyone feared that the British would start bombing the Caucasian oil fields (Indeed, such plans were prepared by Britain, although according to another version, it was a deliberate bluff, British intelligence in March 1940 only threw a film to Stalin in which it hinted that heavy bombers " Wellington "from the Royal Air Force base in Iraqi Masul are ready to strike at the then only large oilfield in the USSR in Baku - V. Ch.). I remembered that England, on the contrary, would be our (namely, “our”) ally, that the bombing of Baku would be prevented “thanks to” Hitler’s actions, but … the prison had time to teach something, and I was “afraid” and “was vigilant” like everyone else. And just like everyone else, he "believed" Stalin, he agreed that the war with Germany would not start at all in 1941.

But when Hitler "suddenly" attacked, on Sunday, June 22, when the officers were simply dumbfounded, I lectured the soldiers about German bestial fascism. So he became a commissar, political worker. I drew posters, in the Future they know how to draw almost everything, so here it came in handy. The pilots always listened with pleasure to my political conversations, especially when I analyzed the further moves of allies and opponents. It was just necessary not to blurt out anything that would become known only after the war …

The last hopes for help from her century disappeared, even if she flew in now, she simply did not find me - so life threw me from side to side! He went through the war as a commissar, then traveled with his squadron to almost all of Eastern Europe, North, Central Asia, Russia. In the century where I come from, the price would not have been for me! From the outside, of course, they saw all the main events of history, but it is one thing to peep unnoticed from the devices, it is quite another - when you feel this whole "story" with your own hands …

Got a family, retired, so imperceptibly and life came to an end.

There is no health at all, so I will not live to see the moment when the first CFs are created. The only hope was for search groups from the Future, now it's easier to find me, just go to the passport office, but I myself became a part of History. And this is a verdict for me: no one has the right to take a person on whom something depends in the Past. The only way I can "sweeten my pill" is to leave information to them, contemporaries. I know what kind of information about the Past is valued in the Future, sooner or later they will receive this "parcel" from me, even if they do not remember it dashingly …"

I would also add for him: "… and they consider to some extent a scout …"

… He passed away on October 19, 1991 (a strange combination of "nines" and "ones") exactly 2 months after the so-called August putsch in Moscow, which just prevented me from coming to this city at the end of summer, a year after the last, the fourth or fifth of our conversation. He died two centuries before his own birth …

What remained was his widow, his students, his "package" and his personal secrets. At first I assumed that when speaking of the "premise" he meant precisely his few, but faithful disciples. That is what he called them, although he himself was never a teacher. I just got to know the neighboring boys and girls, taught them to draw, write poetry and prose, talk to them about uncomfortable values. He taught us to live nobly. The "pupils" are themselves grown-up uncles and aunts, but from time to time they sent letters-reports to Evgeny Iosifovich until the last day in a format with a decent parcel post. Yes, such faithful students could be entrusted with their secret, and they would convey the necessary oral or written information through the children and children of their children! But … I probably called everyone, cautiously inquiring about Teacher's instructions. No, no one even knew about the "great mission" of a seemingly so familiar person …

Six months later, it seems to me, I found out the answer. At the end of his life, Evgeny Iosifovich created, practically on a volunteer basis, the finest museum of local lore. Even from abroad, people came to gaze at the curiosity, especially the recreated jewelry, weapons, and household antiques that he himself enjoyed. Personally, I was interested in his "Timeline" - a huge image of all the main historical events simultaneously throughout the Earth from the Stone Age to … the XXI century, inclusive! True, the upcoming events are depicted somewhat vaguely, either the author has forgotten the history of this century, or did not want to admit unnecessary and dangerous information …

But the main surprise, as it turned out, was not in the open funds of the museum, but in his workshop.

Thousands, if not millions of clippings from magazines and newspapers, illustrations, documents, family and household photographs, children's drawings and diaries of future writers, ordinary letters, everything that perfectly characterizes our era from 1940 to 1991 (there are also earlier relics 17-19 centuries).

Most of the collection would simply have been scrapped, as letters and postcards, completely useless for our ancestors, but irreplaceably valuable for modern historians, disappeared in the stoves and in trash cans. I have no doubt that if this "complete collection of our century" got into the Future, from it they would learn about us today no less than from the funds of "Leninka", and in some ways even more. Unlike state archivists, Yevgeny Iosifovich tried to select not officially pompous information, but the one that was as close to reality as possible, classified according to the most incredible selections (from "Love" to "Struggle with Genetics"), it is life itself with all its beautiful and unsightly sides. At the same time, she is a reflection of our reality in the eyes of future descendants. Knowing the sections of this greatest collection, one can guess that in the Future, the study of our art is placed above the investigation of war crimes, and the themes of love, ecology, space exploration, today's "non-traditional" sciences are more interesting than plaintive official reports and reports.

If this "complete collection" is the notorious "premise", then its fate cannot but cause fears. Even during the life of the owner, the museum was twice subjected to devastating raids by modern barbarians, Yevgeny Iosifovich treated this philosophically condescendingly (as adults forgive the unreasonableness of babies) and each time he started from scratch. The clippings, fortunately, were not damaged (for thieves they have zero value), however, leaving them in the museum was already dangerous. In 1992, transporting newspaper clippings to a safe (as I hoped) location took … several truck trips!..

Now that there is an opportunity to look back, can you find any evidence for the above? His friends and students, probably, can only talk about "an unusually sharp mind, smart eyes and … very strange facial expressions." Exactly so - the movements of the muscles of the face, completely unusual for us, could be liked or not, but could not help but be evident!

But, you see, this is not a proof yet … But what do I want for a plasma blaster or a passport issued by the government of the United Humanity to be found in his widow's closet ?! In principle, this cannot be.

A person who has fallen into the Past from the Future cannot, does not have the right to exert any significant influence on the course of History. If you recall even his frank story, then for all the time he did not mention a single technical detail (except that the "MV cockpit is round", so I wrote about the ball as the optimal form for MV in the article presented to him), not a single "dangerous" one. fact (he talked about the upcoming wars and military conflicts, but absolutely nothing could have changed anything) …

So the only proof can be considered only that described … could be in principle and it does not contradict any laws of Nature!

However, I do not insist on this either. If there are people who, voluntarily or unwittingly, provide us from somewhere from afar clues to the mysteries that tormented us, then why should we demand their help. Once I didn’t believe it - and I lost a lot, now Gaiduchok will not tell anything personally. However, there is hope, the case with Yevgeny Iosifovich, although unique, is by no means the only one. There are at least several known cases when people with incomprehensible habits, facial expressions, gestures, and knowledge appeared on Earth from nowhere. I had conversations with similar personalities, but so long and detailed - alas, there were not …

Back to where I started. In 1994, for the first time (having endured a 3-year "moratorium" after the death of EI), I described my meetings with a more than amazing person, Yevgeny Iosifovich, without mentioning his last name. There were few letters, and among them was one from Baku - from a former squadron colleague who recalled how "Zhenya predicted the date of Victory Day at the very beginning of the war!" … In 1995, a smaller part of EI's archive, alas, burned down, and I felt melancholy because, albeit a small, but still, part of the "parcel" did not survive even 4 years of storage out of the 300 for which it was supposedly calculated … In the same year, I talked about the preservation of documents with my friend Dmitry PETROV, which specially for the program of preservation of samples of the Tunguska explosion has developed a special capsule made of stainless steel, filled with argon. Coincidentally, the guaranteed shelf life in such a capsule is just 300 years! But only the smallest part of EI's "parcel" can be placed in the chronocapsule, and it is most likely not worth sharing … Another of the latest events - 5 years after her husband, exactly one hour, on October 19, 1996, his widow, Elizabeth, died Petrovna.

There are grown-up children, son and daughter Svetlana. Now all the clarifications could be made either through them or through Gaiduchk's students. Time now made it possible to relax and calmly recall everything heard and seen earlier …

Yes, until now I do not even know who Yevgeny Iosifovich GAYDUCHOK was (now, probably, the surname can already be written). A real traveler, "gone with the wind" of Time from the Future, the first (known to us) chronotourist, just a joker or someone else? The fact that he really could be who he said he was - I have already said. The purpose is unclear - no one ever learned about our conversation from him (in the event of a joke, would it be hidden!) It is impossible to explain why he was "joking" with me and precisely on SUCH topic.

Why did he talk about MV specifically with me, maybe he really read my (not yet written) book, or at least heard a glimpse of it - but in the Future ?! I can't believe it …

However, I put the version of the joke aside. With others, he was always extremely serious, even when he wrote to 12-year-old students about their most stupid personal problems? Theoretically, I can imagine a person who could live on his own invention for so long, but I cannot explain why, in this case, if he told a lie, his predictions came true completely? No, he most likely told the truth, but … not the whole truth? Perhaps his goal was to interest me and make me treat myself with due interest, and the version with "walking for 3 centuries" is nothing more than a way to attract attention?

Remember the progressors in the story "Almost like the gods", so they, in order to achieve their goal on a planet with a lower civilization, sometimes told about themselves only the smallest part of the truth - and the part that is most believable in the eyes of the listener, such as the power of limited knowledge can be believed. Maybe the truth about where EI actually came from is even more complex than the fall from the 23rd century? And by saying that he came from the Future, he simplified the truth to a minimum …

Surveys of the daughter, acquaintances and students, in which Dmitry KURKOV and the correspondent of Moskovskaya Pravda, Ekaterina GOLOVINA, helped a lot, revealed several new interesting details that did not clarify, but rather complicated the overall picture.

Daughter Svetlana Evgenievna BULGAKOVA-GAYDUCHOK admitted that when she was little she heard from her father many amazing stories about cosmodromes, interplanetary flights, amazing "furry" creatures, about life on Earth in the Future …

You can't remember everything … but I perceived them as normal children's fairy tales, which one should listen to in childhood. She moved away from her father immediately after school (left to study), then only regularly visited. She remembered how her father often taught her what to do and what not, how to deal with a specific person, how to work, what and when to store. Thanks to this, she and her family, for example, in the late 1980s prepared for the empty shelves of Gorbachev in time and bought salt, matches, cereals and everything else in advance. (Remember those hungry days?) Only years after her father's death, she realized for the first time that literally EVERYTHING he told her turned out to be true, she did not remember a single unfulfilled prediction …

His students and (or) friends were also able to tell us a lot of interesting things: Alexei Nikolaevich KOSTIN, Boris Anatolyevich BORISOV, ALEXEEV, Alexander Alexandrovich GAYVORONSKY, Boris Nikolaevich GUSEV, Vladimir Matveyevich ZIMKOV, SHUBIN, ALEXEEV (some, such as GRITSAEVA and rezhiset, Vladimir Ivan SHIROKOV, we still hope to find). Literally in all the stories (there is nothing surprising) there are the warmest and most enthusiastic reviews about the mind, encyclopedic memory, patience of E. I., almost everyone remembered about his come true predictions, about stories about space flights and cosmodromes, V. time machine. Usually all these topics were raised by Gaiduchk, the rest, as they believed, were drawn into "these fantasies." Where did he get all this? Someone says "he probably dreamed", someone - "I do not remember." But they remember about Gaiduchk's stories about HIS personal space flights, they did not laugh at what he heard, in general, his "fantasies" were taken for granted. The director of the Palace of Culture, the director of an amateur theater could not help but fantasize, not come up with some new plots. Even the theme of the time machine was remembered as … a failed script for some play …

One common detail confuses in the stories of my daughter and friends. It turns out that Gaiduchok knew not only the future of the whole country and the world, but also the future of each individual person. And this, as you know, is no longer taught in the schools of the future in history lessons! Either he misled me about the source of his knowledge about the Future (indeed, I quickly believed in the version about school knowledge), or I just misunderstood him. Most likely then I didn't even need to know - in his opinion … But still, where does the knowledge come from? Or is he a clairvoyant and a soothsayer in terms of the percentage of correct predictions comparable to Nostradamus, or … maybe he came from the Future, and there he could have been taught everything, it may well be that it is generally taught there in schools? He could really be born there (as he claimed) and fly here, could be born here (as his daughter naturally thinks) and fly there for a while, could get from the Future to us "in a subtle body" …

In any case, both my daughter and some other (but very close) friends, a little embarrassed, said that all her life E. I. from time to time was pursued by a strange, as they believed, "ailment", which manifested itself as follows: Haiduchok suddenly (it is difficult to say exactly when, sometimes after a minute of anger at someone, although he was rarely angry) turned off and was unconscious for up to several minutes (a state close to a coma!), then came to his senses and, having caught his breath, as if nothing had happened, continued to work. According to him, at these minutes he was flying somewhere, including into space, and at another time …

Forgive me, you say, but this is not a disease, this is a particularly vivid meditation! Or something else, even more difficult to understand?.. It is possible that he arrived in Time not at all in a time machine, but told about it for ease of perception. Maybe. But why did he try to convey something, and specifically in the 23rd century? Himself from there, as he said? Or was he just there and was asked or decided to make a gift himself?..

An interesting and unexpected for me detail was recently learned by E. Golovin from a certain new witness (we will not name her for now). She very accurately described everything connected with Gaiduchk and his students. Moreover, she described me in detail (I do not know her), my conversations with E. I., what he told me, and said that he had not told me everything that he wanted! He was embarrassed by my disbelief (what is true is true), and therefore he did not have time to tell everything that he wanted … But not everything is so bad. It turns out that he told another person about the time machine, and described his appearance … Now we are also looking for this person …
