In 1979, Boris Yeltsin held the position of 1st Secretary of the Sverdlovsk regional party Committee. It was then in the city and there was a mysterious epidemic. Rescue of affected people and failed. And cause of the incident and to this day not been fully elucidated.
anthrax?
a Mysterious epidemic broke out in Sverdlovsk in early April 1979. In medical institutions of the city, one after another began receiving patients with strange symptoms. They all died literally in front of doctors. The doctors were powerless. As claimed by Rudolf pihoya, the author of the book “the President of the Russian Federation Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin” (series “the Rulers of Russia”), the veil of secrecy lifted, the local pathologist, which revealed that all the dead suffered from anthrax. However death did not stop even after people were vaccinated against anthrax.
To determine the causes of the epidemic and the stabilization of the situation in Sverdlovsk was created a special Commission. Joined the KGB. At that time, Boris Yeltsin was the 1st Secretary of the Sverdlovsk regional party Committee. Therefore, according to Fedor Razzakov in his book “the Life of a wonderful era, 1975-1979: time, events, people”, members of the Commission, having studied the situation, met with Yeltsin. This conversation lasted more than an hour. Immediately after Leonid Brezhnev reported that an anthrax outbreak is under control. Secretary General’s report was quite satisfied. And in the city meanwhile, until mid-may continued to die.
Terrible rumors
However, the townspeople calmed down. If you believe Leonid Mlechin, the author of the book “Committee-1991. The untold story of the KGB Russia”, the official cause of death of people called eating the meat of infected animals. However, the Sverdlovsk crawled completely different rumors. Countrymen Boris Yeltsin whispered that the culprit was the accident that happened in the military town No. 19, which was built near Sverdlovsk in a pine forest almost immediately after the end of world war II. To 1970-m to years, the military town was within the boundaries of Sverdlovsk, or rather on its southern edge.
Rudolph pihoya says that, after learning about the rumors that Boris Yeltsin himself went to the military camp, but there simply was not allowed. According to Anna Garnet, author of “the Yeltsin Clan”, and another April 4 in Sverdlovsk came to the head of the 15th Directorate of the General staff of the USSR Armed forces, Colonel-General Smirnov. He was Chairman of the Commission of the Ministry of defence. Smirnov reportedly refused to give Yeltsin explanation. Moreover, the order was followed by silence from the top, from the Minister of defense Dmitry Ustinov. Silent and the Deputy Minister of health of the USSR, the General-Burgasy, and chief infectionist of the Ministry of health of the USSR Minister and Deputy Chairman of the KGB General Pies, who also were in Sverdlovsk.
the Real causes of the epidemic
Yes, and Boris Yeltsin has told about what really happened in Sverdlovsk in the late 1970s, only in 1992. At least so says Leonid Mlechin. According to Yeltsin, the culprit of the epidemic was indeed a military town No. 19, where there was a center for the development of biological weapons. The result of the incident in the centre of the accident in the air are trapped pathogens, vaccines which have not yet been established. However, Alexander Khinshtein, the author of the book “Yeltsin, the Kremlin: a case history”, believes that no accident was not: just the staff of the center “stockpiled” waste at the dump near the city. Unknown microorganisms from the ground leaked into the water, which is then tasted the townspeople.
it is Worth noting that, according to Hinstein, Boris Yeltsin was to blame for the death of people no less than military, as the future President not only failed to take appropriate measures in order to prevent infection, but also hid the truth from Sverdlovsk, and did not insist on the punishment of the perpetrators. And that Boris Nikolayevich was known however, is the fact that he was told about the accident in a military town in 1992, at the time, as even then the exact cause of the epidemic remained a mystery. And to this day, according to Hinstein, all circumstances of the tragedy that occurred in Sverdlovsk in 1979, is unclear.
