  • Date: 26.02.2021

On New Year's Eve 1955/1956 Zoya gathered girlfriends at home. Girls have fun, danced, and Zoe was waiting for everything and waited for her groom Kola. The guy was late, and Zoya, grabbing an icon from the corner with Nikolai the Wonderworker, began to spin with her in dance instead of his beloved.

The girlfriends made her a remark, asking to return the image into place, but Zoya behaved as she who accepted and stated: "If there is God, he will punish me!" The lightning flashed here, the light went out for a second, and Zoya froze in place in an embrace with an icon ...

Frame from X / F "Miracle"

"Zoino standing"

This case, allegedly occurred in Kuibyshev, on Chkalov Street, 84. The girl's frozen stone tried to move, wake, brake, but Zoya did not react to anything. The icon from her hands to take out also did not work. The arrivals of the doctors stated that the girl was alive, but could not do anything. She did not eat and did not drink many days, looked at one point, and at night I shouted something and asked to pray for sins. A local old man, Hieromona Serafim Tyapochkin, came to the innovation to the house. He looked at the zoya, took out an icon from her hands and said that she would stand like this until Easter. The prediction of an elder came true: the girl stood for a stone of 128 days, and at Easter came to life, crouched and three days old died.

Rumors about the "stone zoe" mig migrated around the city, to the house of 84 in Chkalov Street constantly went seva. To reassure people, on January 24, 1956, in the newspaper Volzhskaya commune, Kuibyshev (Samara) was released Faketon denial under the heading "Wild Case".

It was said that there was no goey karnukhovaya karnukhovaya astounded by God and in the house of 84 in Chkalov Street lives a certain Claudia Bolonkin with her son. On New Year's Eve, guests came to his son, among the girls there were Zoya, introduced the day before the guy named Nikolai. He had to come to a party, but did not come, and Zoe began to dance with the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker. At this moment, at this moment some nun was held, I saw a blasphemy maiden and shouted: "You will win the salt pillar for such a sin!" The girl was not petrified, however, the hostess at home for the red senlee began to tell the story that, they say, everything happened, as the monastery said, Possibe Zoya, like a salt pillar.

Shameful miracle

Zoino Standing is still referring to the discharge of church legends. The Father Roman Derzhavin, the Primer of the Church of the Kazan Icon of God in the village of Nonunovka of the Samara region, stated on the truthfulness of the story. The priest said that he was told about this case that Zoya Karnukhova worked at the Pipe Plant that she had a deeply believer mother who did not allow the daughter to violate the Christmas post, that it was with an icon belonging to the mother, dizzy in dance and froze on Place Zoya. The believers supported and transferred this story, pilgrims went to the house on Chkalov.

The authorities in the fifties have repeatedly tried to stop the spread of rumors. The first secretary of the Kuibyshev Committee of the CPSU Mikhail Efremov gave a comment for the newspaper: "Yes, such a miracle happened, shameful for us, communists. Some old woman walked and said: the youth danced in this house, and one hunting began to dance with the icon and ... worried. And it went, the people began to gather ... I wanted to send Popov there to eliminate this shameful phenomenon. But the bureau of the Regional Committee was consulted and decided ... there is nothing to guard there. Stupidity came out: no dancing ... was not, lives there an old woman. "

In urban archives, there are no mention of the girl named Zoya Karnukhov, as not and information about the monk Serafim. House number 84 on Chkalov Street belonged to the Soviet citizen of Claudia Bolonkina.

The story of some knowledgeable people explained as so: that, they say, she lived in Kuibyshev, one squeezed woman, and nicknamed at some point "Stone Zoya", but in fact there was no transformation in the salt pillar.

Plot for films

The city legend went on the basis of several films and literary works: in 2000, the 20-minute documentary "Standing Zoe" was released, and in 2009, a full-length feature film from the director Alexander Pekhin called "Miracle". After that, the Pillarites began to come on Chkalov, 84 again. Next to the house on the lawn was established a monument to Nikolai Wonderworker. And in May 2014, the house "Stone Zoe" burned down. According to rumors, as a result of arson.

A year after the event, the TV film was released on the play by Alexander Ignasheva. And in the publishing house of the Sretensky Monastery, the story of Nikolai Agafonova "Standing" was published in Moscow.

Many, probably, have already heard this story, some know her on the film "Miracle." For those who do not know about this shocking mystical case, I advise you to read this article ...

1:828 1:837

60 years ago, one of the most mystical events occurred in the history of the USSR. Young girl Zoya petrified with the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker in his hands. Standing Zoe has become an all-Union scandal: the crowds of the people from the house Zoe accelerated the equestrian militia, the party officials did everything to hide this mysterious incident. The fact that the fact of the girl's petition was, there is evidence of eyewitnesses of those days, the documents of the party meetings.

This story happened in a simple Soviet family in the city of Kuibyshev, on December 31, 1956 in the house of 84 on Chkalov Street. Mother and daughter were going to celebrate New Year. Zoya's daughter, invited seven of his girlfriends and young people to a party with dancing. They walked the Christmas post, and the believer mother asked for a root not to arrange parties, but the daughter insisted on his. In the evening, the mother went to church to pray.

Guests gathered, and Zoin Groom Nikolai was delayed somewhere. All girlfriends - with cavaliers, and Zoya was sitting alone .. When the dances began, she said: "If there is no my Nicholas, I will dance with Nikoli myself!" And headed for the corner where icons hung. Friends were horrified: "Zoya, this is a sin," but she said: "If there is God, let him punish me!" Took the icon, pressed to the chest and entered the circle of dancing

3:760 3:769

Dancing began, there were two circles, and suddenly an unimaginable noise rose in the room, whirlproof the dazzling light.

3:984

The fun appealed to horror. Zoya froze and stood like inserted! It was impossible to shift it from the place, and the icon could not be taken out of her hands - she was shone tightly. External signs of life The girl did not serve. Everyone ran out of the room in fear. One Zoya remained standing with the icon of St., pressed her to his chest, - petrified, cold, like marble.

3:1612

4:512 4:521

No efforts of arriving doctors could not lead her to themselves. The "Emergency" doctor, Anna tried to revive the zoya. Native sister Anna, Nina Pavlovna Kalashnikov, and now alive. That's what she tells:
- She ran home exhausted. And although the police took a subscription to non-disclosure with her, he told everything. And about how she tried to make a girl injections, but it turned out to be impossible. The body of Zoya was so hard that the needles of the syringes did not enter it, broke ...

4:1357 4:1368

We wanted to take a girl to the hospital for observation, but could not move it from the place: Her legs were like chained to the floor. But the heart beat - Zoya lived. From this time she could not drink or eat.

4:1717

When the mother returned and saw what happened, she lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital, from where he returned in a few days: Faith in the mercy of God, the hot prayers about the pardon of her daughter restored her strength. She came to himself and tearfully prayed for forgiveness and help.

4:516

About the incident immediately became known to the law enforcement agencies Samara. Since it was associated with religion, the case was given the status of an emergency, the police were sent to the house, so as not to allow the sevaac. Worried about what. By the third day of standing Zoe, all the streets near the house were branded thousands of people. The girl nicknamed "Zoya Stone".

4:1167 4:1176

In the house on duty shifted at 8 o'clock two militiamen. At night, his mother prayed near her.

4:1334

The patriarch was notified of everything that happened and asked him to pray for the pardon of Zoe. Patriarch replied: "Who punished, he hurts."

4:1579

The following persons were made from visitors to Zoy:

4:107 4:116

1. The famous professor of medicine arrived from Moscow. He confirmed that the heartbeat in Zoe did not stop, despite the external fossil.

4:382 4:391

2. At the request of the mother, priests were invited, In order to take from the petrified hands of the icon of St. Nicholas. But they could not do it.

4:651 4:660

5:1164 5:1173

3. On the holiday of the Nativity of Christ, Jeromona Seraphim arrived (probably from the Glinskaya desert), served the water boss and consecrated the whole room. After that, he managed to take an icon from the hands of Zoe and, by rewarding the saint, the proper honors, returned it to the previous place. He said: "Now we have to wait for signs to the Great Day (that is, for Easter)! If it does not follow, the end of the world is not far away."

5:1869

5:8

4. Visited Zoya and Metropolitan Krutitsky and Kolomensky Nikolai, Which also served Prayers and said that new signs should be waiting for a great day (that is, for Easter), repeating the words of pious Hieromona.

5:393 5:402

6:906 6:915

5. Before the celebration of the Annunciation (that year it was on Saturday the third week of the Great Post) Affected old man came And asked to admit it to Zoe. But the police officers denied him.

6:1268

He came on another day, but again, from other duty, received a refusal.

6:1406

For the third time, the duty officers missed him on the very day. Protection heard how it gently said Zoe: "Well, what, tired standing?"

6:1646

Some time passed, and when the police duty wanted to release an elder, he was not there. All are convinced that it was Saint Nikolai himself.

6:272 6:281

So Zoe stood 4 months (128 days), to the Easter itself, which was April 23 (May 6 in a new style).

6:475 6:484

On the night of the bright Christ Sunday, she suddenly came to life The muscles appeared softness, vitality. She was laid in bed. Zoya's body came to life, but it was no longer the same. In the first days she shouted everything: "In sins, the Earth dies! Pray, believe! "

6:944 6:953

From a scientific and medical point of view, it is difficult to imagine how the organism of the young girl could hold out 128 days without food and water. Metropolitan scientists who came at that time to Samara for the sake of such a supernatural case, and could not determine the "diagnosis", which at first took for a certain type of tetanus.
- How did you live? - asked her. - Who fed you?
"Pigeons, pigeons fed me," was the answer in which the pardon and forgiveness from the Lord are clearly announced. The Lord forgave her sins by the victim of the holy ward of God, gracious Nicholas the Wonderworker and for the sake of her great suffering and standing for 128 days.

6:2078 6:8

After the case with the joy, as evidenced by its contemporaries, the people massively reached in church and temples.

6:195 6:204

7:708 7:717

All that happened so struck living in the city of Kuibyshev and its surroundings that many people, seeing miracles, hearing shouts and requests to pray for people who dare in sins, turned to faith. People bought crosses, candles, icons. The church with repentance. Unresolved - baptized. We did not worry the cross - began to wear it. The appeal was so great that the crosses were lacking in churches.

7:1444

With fear and tears, the people prayed for the forgiveness of sins, repeating the words of Zoya: "Scary. The earth is burning, in sins die. Pray! People in lawlessness die."

7:1722

7:8

On the third day of Easter Zoya moved to the Lord, having passed the hard way - 128 days of standing before the Lord of the Lord in the atonement of their prevention. The Holy Spirit kept the life of the soul, resurrecting her from deaths to the future eternal day of the resurrection of all the living and the dead to resurrect her in the body for eternal life. After all, the name of Zoya itself means "life."

7:624 7:633

Not far from the famous house at Chkalov now stands sculpture of Nicholas Wonderworker, Posted in honor of his phenomenon where he forgave Zoya ...

It happened to the January day of 1956 at home number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street in Kuibyshev (now Samara) (Fig. 1).

Then suddenly for the authorities and locals here suddenly gathered a huge crowd of zooak. The gathered news transferred incredible news: I supposedly happened on the eve of this house, a miracle happened, as a result of which a kind of girl turned into a "live statue". Therefore, all the yawns flowing into the frosty days to Chkalovskaya Street, they threw at least one eye to take a look at the results of "God's signs". As a result, an equestrian militia was on duty to maintain order here during the week, and the incident on Chkalovskaya Street was mentioned even on the regional part conference held at the end of January 1956.

True and fiction

Despite the fact that from the moment of the events described, decades have already passed, about the miracle of the "petrified sortie of Zoe" still walk the stories in which the sorcelessly mixed with non-relieves. But on the basis of materials collected as a result of a journalistic investigation conducted by the author, it can be argued that in fact there was simply no so-called "miracle stone zoe" in January 1956 in Kuibyshev. But what then happened here? What real facts are in the history of "petrified zoe"?

First fact. Nobody has never been challenged that from 14 to 20 January 1956 in the city of Kuibyshev at the house number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street was really unprecedented before the accumulation of people (estimated, from several thousand to several tens of thousands of people). All of them were brought here with oral messages (rumors) that the specified house allegedly stands a certain petrified girl who performed blasphemy, dancing with an icon in his hands. At the same time, the name of Zoya during the specified events was not called by anyone, but it appeared in relation to this story for decades later. The surname Karnukhov at the main character also arose at all in the 90s.

As for the reasons for this pillar, then, according to experts, there was a rare, but actually and repeatedly described in the literature a socio-psychological phenomenon called "Mass Psychosis". This is called the phenomenon when in favorable for that social conditions, a careless phrase abandoned in the crowd or even one word can provoke massive unrest, riots and even hallucinations. In this case, the graceful soil for such a psychosis was the political situation in the country, which established in the conditions of the Khrushchev Thaw and the cultivation of the cult of Stalin's personality, when people felt real relaxation from the state in relation to believers.

The second fact. In the Samara regional state archive of socio-political history (the former archive of the regional commissioning of the CPSU), the unlaigned transcript of the 13th Kuibyshev Regional Party Conference, which took place on January 20, 1956 was kept. Here you can read how then the first secretary of the CPSU CPSU Mikhail Timofeevich Efremov (Fig. 2)

Spoke of the "miracle":

"In the city of Kuibyshev, rumors about the included alleged miracle in Chkalovskaya streets occurred. Notes on this occasion came twenty pieces. Yes, such a miracle happened - shameful for us, communists, managers of party bodies. Some old woman went and said: the youth danced in this house, and one hunting began to dance with an icon and petrified. After that, they began to say: petrified, worked, and went, began to gather the people because the leaders of police bodies were inexorable. It can be seen, and someone else put her hand here. Immediately put the police post, and where the police, there and eyes. Little turned out to be our police, since the people arrived everything, put the equestrian militia, and the people, if so - all there. Some thought before they made a proposal to send Popov there to eliminate this shameful phenomenon. The regional committee was consulted and gave an indication to remove all the outfits and posts, remove the security, there is nothing to guard there. As soon as the outfits and posts were removed, so the people began to dissipate, and now, as I was reported, there is almost no one. The police were incorrectly received, and began to attach attention. And essentially it is the real stupidity, no dances, there were no parties in this house, the old woman lives there. Unfortunately, our police bodies did not work here and did not find out who distributed these rumors. The regional committee recommended to consider this issue on the Bureau of the city committee, and the perpetrators are strictly punished, and Comrade Persuchov [editor of the regional communion of the CPSU "Volzhskaya Commune" - V.E.] to give clarifying material in the Volga Commune newspaper in the form of a Faketon "(Fig. 3 , four).

(Sogpi, F-656, OP. 103, d. 110, ld 179-180).

Such an article under the heading "Wild case" was indeed published in the Volga Commune dated January 24, 1956 (Fig. 5).

As for the search and punishment of those responsible for the "wild case", they were found on the same party conference in the person of secretaries on the ideology of the regional and city committees of the CPSU. This is what is written in unlaigned transcript:

"Today Tov. Efremov told a miracle. This is a shame for the regional party conference. The culprit number 1 is TOV. Villan [third secretary of the Kuibyshev Regional Committee of the CPSU on ideology - V.E.], culprit number 2 TOV. Black [third secretary of the Kuibyshev Communist Party of the CPSU on ideology - V.E.], they did not fulfill the decision of the Central Committee of the Party on Anti-Religious Work. After all, even in the reporting report, the committee does not have a word, no word, what kind of work the obligations of the party did to fulfill this wonderful decision of the Central Committee of the Party. I think that t. The village was supposed to be free from many extra loads and engaged only by ideological work, ideological work only suffers. I do not assume his candidacy, but I want the third secretary to truly engaged in ideological work, was decisive and brave in any questions so that we, the workers of the ideological front not suffered from this "(Fig. 6, 7).

(Sogpi, F-656, OP. 103, d. 110, ld 256-257).

As a result, everything ended in the fact that the village of Village at the party conference was only slightly crushed for omissions in antireligious work - and left in his previous position, and in the response word, he would have promised to catch up.

There was plenty of three decades since that time, and the country has come Gorbachev Perestroika. It was then that a lot of "secondary" witnesses appeared around the "miracle of the fame zoe", that is, such people who themselves were not present at the events of 1956, but heard a lot of things heard about them, which never happened, and still no confirmed. It is their fantasies that now mainly and print "yellow press", although these species have nothing to do with real events.

But why at the house number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street appeared the crowd described above, no one could say exactly in 1956, as he could not say now. Therefore, the most believable in this case looks the above version of the mass psychosis, which provoked a crowd of people for mass unrest, riots and even on hallucinations.

The unconditional fiction in this story can be attributed, for example, constituent in the media stories about ambulance doctors, who allegedly tried to revive the root in place or to make it injections, as well as the militiamen, as if visited in the legendary room and from the Wamg seen Dried. In the same row, there are also legends about a certain Saint Starta, which in those days it seems to come to Kuybyshev from far away the monastery and somehow communicated with the "petrified dealer." In fact, there is no real evidence of the existence of all the people listed above, and there is only a crowd of gossip.

At the same time, it is very sad that interest in the events in Kuibyshev many years ago and before, and now they show anyone, but not official science. It is possible that if the phenomenon of the occurrence of rumors about Zoe was investigated by scientists, now there would be so many fiction and frank falsifications around it.

It is impossible not to mention that in 2009 the director Alexander Pokhkin (Fig. 8)

The film "Miracle" was removed (Fig. 9, 10, 11),

Where the author used the plot of this Kuibyshev urban legend. The film takes place in the fictional city of Greekansk, and some mythical personals appear in it, among which Nikita Khrushchev and the then leader of our country. The character, called this name, also in reality never existed, since the genuine Khrushchev during the events described above in Kuybyshev did not come, and, accordingly, could not see the "stone girl", and even more so could not behave in Hamski in Relations with subordinates, which is also shown in the creation of Pescin (Fig. 12).

But, however, despite all the faults listed above, at the very end of this fantastic films on the screen floats the titers, from which it follows that the film is filmed on the basis of real events that occurred in 1956 in the city of Kuibyshev. It looks around the same way as if the authors of the famous film bar of the "sacheling immortal" in the credits to her wrote that the film was filmed on the basis of events that occurred in Russia in 1237. If then it happened, then the director "Kashchei of the Immortal" Alexander Row would simply raise on laughter (Fig. 13, 14).

But for the film, the current spectators are among the seriousness, and many people are considered almost a documentary source of Soviet history. It is sad that this way our master of cinema put his hand to promote a frank obscurantist.

Whether to surprise the fact that in September 2010, the authorities of our city at the initiative of the former mayor of Samara Viktor Tarkhova adopted a decree on the installation on the street of the Chkalov monument Nikolay the Wonderworker. In fact, this decision officials signed only in the footsteps of crowd rumors described above that for the official authorities it looks at least strange.

Below is the text of the information message.

"A memorable sign will appear in Samara in honor of the" stone zoe ".

Soon, another memorable sign should appear in our city - this time is not a historical figure, and the heroine of one of the urban legends is "Stone Zoe".

September 17th. The heads of the city, Vladimir Bratchchi, signed a decree on which in Samara will be allowed to install a memorable sign "In memory of the event of the XX century" Standing Zoe in Kuibyshev ".

According to the documentation, the customer for designing, manufacturing and installation of the sign is the city administration, the Department of Construction and Architecture will be recommended to prepare an architectural and planning task, and the finished creation will be included in the register of municipal property. Control over the implementation of this resolution is entrusted to the first deputy of the city team Alexander Shatokhina, the press service of the mayor's office reports. "

Soon such a memorable sign on Chkalovskaya Street was really installed. It is a sculptural image of St. Nicholas Wonderworker, standing in an openwork arch. Contrary to the title of the above-mentioned ruling, the image of Zoe in this sculptural composition is not present. Her name is mentioned only in the plate attached to the base of the arch (Fig. 15, 16, 17).

The first version: Zoe was punished for blasphemy!

The version "On Punishment for Blasphemy" over the past decades has already bypassed the pages of many Samara and some central newspapers. A small note on the same topic under the heading "Zoe House" included in the Brochure "Battle of Samara Shrine", published as an annex to the newspaper "Blagovest" with the blessing of the bishop of Samara and Syzran Sergius. Her year of publication is not specified, but, most likely, the brochure was published between 2000 and 2005. Also, the publishing house "Lose" in 2005 was released the book "Standing Zoe. Miracle of St. Nicholas in Samara. " The authors of both brochures are Anton Zhogolev, Tatiana Trina, Igor Evsin. In addition, there were many television programs on different Russian channels, which can be called popular and entertaining.

In the specified sources, the events mentioned above are as follows. On the evening of January 14, 1956, he lived in one of the apartments of house number 84 on the street Chkalovskaya (Fig. 18)

Claudia Petrovna Bolonkin's saleswoman made up a small holiday at home. The main reason for the family celebration was the liberation from the prison of her son Vadim, who returned to the mother just under the new year, 1956. Youth was a man ten, and the neighboring 17-year-old girl Zoya Karnukhov, a worker of the Maslennikov plant (former Samara pipe plant) was among the invited.

After the party participants drank and bored, the youth began to dance under the radar. But Zoya at first did not take part in dancing, because another day in the house of Bolonkina, he promised to go to her bridegroom named Nicholas. However, time went, the youth danced, and Nikolai was not all. And then the drove zoya unexpectedly grabbed the icon of Nicholas from the front angle of Nicholas from the front corner and spoke to her in dance. At the same time, the girl laughed and screamed: "Once my Kolya did not come, then I wonder with the Holy Nikolai!" And then a miracle happened: suddenly everything was lit in the house, the vortex was rushed around the rooms, and zippered outside the window. All the terrified apartment rushed out of a terrified apartment, and when after a while they returned, they saw that Zoya's blasphemy stands in the middle of the room with an icon in his hands, at first glance, it seems to be live, but with more close review - turned into a fixed statue.

Called the ambulance brigade. However, the medicine here turned out to be powerless: how many doctors did not try to make a zoya injection, the needles of the syringe could not go to the skin, but only betented or even broke. Nevertheless, the doctors were able to note that the girl was alive: she breathed, the pulse was trying on her hands, and the heartbeat was felt under the "petrified" skin. But it was not possible to move the "live statue" from the spot: Zoya frozen in immobility as if he could see the floor. And when it was trying to cut out of the floor with the boards, the blade of the ax bounced from the tree, as if from the armored steel sheet.

Meanwhile, the people attracted by incredible rumors about the girl who turned into a statue began to gather on Chkalovskaya street. Already the next day, the crowd of Zevaak, gathered to lay on a miracle, burned the whole Chkalovskaya street and began to write to the neighboring Leninsky. To avoid unrest at the house number 84, a police post was put up, and then it had to send here and outfits of the equestrian militia.

And what about Zoya? Further information about it is divergent. According to one source, the petrified girl stood in the house of Bolonkina as much as 128 days, after which the prayers specially arrived from the Glinskaya desert of Hieromonach Seraphim - and only then the girl came to life. According to other testimonies, the "standing" Zoe continued no more than a day, after which there was a special tool around it with a special tool, and in such a form, together with pieces of floorings, the "live statue" was sent to a psychiatric hospital (option - to the specialism KGB). Further traces, naturally, are lost ...

One way or another, the People's Molva testifies that more than a week around the "terrible" house was on duty, reinforced police patrols, who did not allow any other outsiders to the scene of the incident. And the people remained a variety of legends about those events. Including this: when some of the curious asked patrol, how truthful stories about the petrified girl, some of the policemen only silently took the caps. Under her curious on her head, a young man saw a thick gray ... Only by the spring of 1956, the interest of Sammartsev was so much so much that the police post at the house number 84 was decided to remove.

Version Second: youth really danced, but Zoya is not member!

She looks like this: January 14, 1956, in the House of Claudia Bolonkin really gathered young people, and in this party, and in fact there was a neighbor girl Zoya Karnukhov. However, none of the guys did not want to dance with her, because Glory went about her that this girl, to put it mildly, is not quite normal. In particular, even before that, she repeatedly said that he believed in God that her peers in the Komsomol environment of that time was perceived at least wary. And when on January 14, young people began to dance, Zoya unexpectedly stated for everyone that modern dances are blasphemy, and God can punish them, turning sinners into stone statues. In proof, he became everyone to show the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker.

The drowned young people perceived her words as a joke, and the guys in response began, as they say, "pin" Zoya. Like, since you do not dance, it means you are petrified yourself. But these drunken conversations and jokes heard two old-minded mantis, those who were sitting at the evening visiting Bolonkin in the next room. They saw the Zoe, standing in the middle of the room with the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker in his hands, who tried to explain to guys that dancing and drunkenness are a direct path to hell. Anyway, but after that both grandmothers quietly left home.

And the next morning, residents of the house number 84 at Chkalovskaya, as well as the tenants of neighboring houses, to their surprise, saw the crowd from the windows of the crowd, to look at the petrified dealer. Immediately again and the saleswoman of Bolonkin's beer, which, apparently, having revealing the smell of living money, has already told curious about the "miracle." It turns out that she is herself before that, and someone from her familiar women in turn portrayed "petrified dealer." Her silhouette with an icon in his hands in some of the gathered just and could observe through the tailored window curtains. In the end, Bologonekina persuaded to stand at the curtains and the root itself, the money was "for the work".

All this lasted until they came to the house from the police. True, at that moment there was no one in the room with an icon in his hands, and the blurred Bologonkina stated to the police that "petrified Zoe did not have so long ago, but it was already allegedly taken by people in civilian clothes. The police leadership, as can be seen, simply did not dare to check in the KGB, did they come to the house number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street, but just in case put the patrol post here. But it has further rooted the curiosity of the zoo. After a day, rumors about the "petrified zoe" have achieved such a sizes that any attempts of the authorities disprove them perceived as a "desire to hide the truth."

Nowadays, documents on the incident with the "petrified zoye" can be found in Sogpi - the former Kuibyshev regional party archive (an extract from the transcript of the regional part-conferencing is given above).

In the postproken time, journalists managed to find a former employee KGB Mikhail Egorovich Bakanov, an eyewitness of those events. That's what he told:

"At that time I was the senior authorized KGB. The bosses sent me to figure out the same house on Chkalovskaya. There I saw the hetresians who were promised for the money to spend those who wish to house and show petsenger virgin. Yes, nobody hindered them. I myself went to a house with several groups of curious, which confirmed that they did not see anything. But people did not disperse. And this disgrace continued. "

But the memories of the former headman of the Ascension Cathedral of Andrei Andreevich Savina:

"At that time I was the secretary of the diocesan government. In January 1956, our bishop of Jerome calls the authorized on the affairs of religions Alekseev, and he says: "We need to declare to the people in the temple from Ambon, that nothing happened on Chkalovskaya." In response, the bishop asked to skip the rector of the Pokrovsky Cathedral to the house, so that he was convinced of everything himself. The Commissioner said: "I will call you back in an hour and a half." And called only two days later and said that in our services he does not need, since no one was let any of the clergy of the hosts in the house. So the conversations about the fact that Zoeraphim allegedly visited Ieromona is all the wrong. "

It is clear that in the conditions of strictly controlled publicity of the mid-50s, all the efforts of the authorities to refute any, the most incredible rumors were perceived by the population unambiguously: "Yeah, since they say that this was not, it means that something really was actually It was. And the people of the truth will not say anyway. " This is not surprising: after all, during the three decades of the Stalin regime, the people have already become accustomed to the official liner of the highest Soviet authorities.

Third version: There was no miracle nor the very zoe

Which then became not just an eyewitness of a "wild case", but an active participant of this incident, because at that time he lived in the house number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street, next to the already mentioned Claudia Bolonkin. His story about those events by the author recorded in 2001.

At that time I worked as a senior operator at the Kuibyshevsky refinery. Then, in a few years, I switched to Soviet work - was the head of the registry office department of the regional executive committee, then the head of the Department of Finance Planning Department of State Reserves. Pennia went in 1996.

I was silent about this story as much as 45 years. Why? Yes, because it believed that no one would believe me. But now I still decided to tell about her truth, because in the press recently it was circulating too many fairy tales and absurdities about the "petrified zoe".

In January 1956, I lived in Apartment No. 7 at home number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street. This is only the so called - the apartment, and in fact it was a separate house, stood in the courtyard, on whose gates was written the address: "Chkalovskaya Street, 84". I was then 27 years old. And in Apartment number 5 (this was also a separate house) was the same Claudia Petrovna Bologonkin. She really was son Vadim, a pocket, who was sitting on prisons several times. True, in January 1956 he has not yet come out of another rejection, but only she had to free himself soon. But in fact, Vadim has nothing to do with this story, because neither of the prison, nor any parties satisfied any parties for any other occasion of Bologonkin. Yes, she never satisfied them at all, because she was very close in her apartment, and Bologonkina lived quietly and modestly, although he traded the beer, and therefore she had money. However, it is possible that it was just for this reason she did not want to pay attention to himself.

Those memorable events began on January 17, 1956, on Tuesday, and not at all on the 14th, as it is now written in newspapers. So, in the evening, on January 17, I came from work - and saw two neighborings at the gate. One of them was Fominova Catherine from Apartment No. 3, the second - Bolonkin. Neighbors stood and talked with some two old women. What were it for the old women, I do not know - before I have never seen them. Here I am Bologonkina and says: "These women came to me and want to see some stone girl standing in a green house. I say they that I have nothing and no one, but they do not believe. Allegedly on this score on some blissful Agraphene lamented God's grace. "

Immediately it turned out that the old women had already walked into the house number 3 on Chkalovskaya Street, which was green, and there also asked about petrified girl. And the tenants of the house, do not be fools, they were answered that the miracle did not happen at all in the house number 3, but in the third home from the police. And then the police station was located in the house number 88 on Chkalovskaya Street, at the very corner with Arzybushevskaya Street. Two-storey house No. 84 stood third on this corner. Outside it was brown (Fig. 21),

Therefore, the old women passed by him, and went into the house number 82 on Chkalovskaya, which was then painted in green. The family has lived in this house.

The old women put on it to him with the same question, but the Sentsov quickly sewed them, saying that he was a party party, and therefore he had no idea of \u200b\u200ba house. Then the old women began to ask him, where the miracle happened to the petrified girl. And the Gears was in bad relations with Bolonkin, which through the fence regularly merged into his cherry garden of impurity, because of which the neighbors constantly swear. Therefore, the Seretsi to take away from the uninvited guests and at the same time make the nasty of Bolonkin, pointed to her house and told the old women that the miracle happened exactly there.

The house of Bolonkina from the street is not visible. The old women went into the yard and made sure that her house in some places actually has a green color. Here, they met Bologonkin himself, which, as I said, to the petrified girl disappointed them. After our conversation, the old woman confused some time on the street at the house, and then disappeared somewhere.

I probably would soon forget about this case, if on the other day, January 18, from the very early morning, our yard suddenly did not collect people. At first they just stood outside and looked, but then began to go to the courtyard. They walked, everyone saw and asked tenants: "Where is the petrified girl?" When I was asking me about it, I said to them: "I saw a lot of fools in my life, but so that they could not immediately have gathered so much in one place, I could not think."

However, curious everything arrived. By the end of the same day, they began to enter the apartments not only in order to find a stone girl, but also something with us imperceptibly pick up as a souvenir - a spoon, fork, a cup, a mug. Some caught when they were whoned on his pockets hanging in the hallway. Then we stopped opening a curious door. As a result, people began to climb into the windows, and some of them were smashed at all. Then we decided that no curious need to be allowed even to the courtyard.

And the next day, January 19, I looked in the window in the morning - and painted. Mother native! There were already several thousand people gathered, and everyone rushed into our yard. You will not believe, but because of the crowd, the tram movement on Artsibushevskaya Street, and Trolleybus - on Chkalovskaya Street. By the way, starting from this day, I could not go to work for a week, because in the afternoon and at night I defended my house from the crowd of curious.

What did all these people want? And all the same - see petsenger girl. By the way, only on this day I first heard a story about her - that the boy was supposedly in the house there was a booze, and one girl for dances did not have a guy, and she began to dance with an icon, as a result of which petrified. But at the very matter of nothing there was nothing!

On the evening of January 19, the crowd head was such that the gate fell closing the entrance to the courtyard. Then we are with Boris, an employee of the railway, which lived in the second apartment of our house, decided to completely close the entrance to the courtyard. We found two long boards "Sixties", took huge nails, raised the woven gates and swam them with these thick boards crosswise, having killed the boards to the corners of the houses. And the tenants had to go outside through the courtyard of the house number 86.

It would seem, since the gate is clogged, then you will not enter the yard. Whatever! As soon as we set the gate to the place, people immediately climbed through them up - the clothes were praised, but they still climbed. Because of this, I had to dudge in the yard for several days and nights. I came across the gate of everyone who climbed into the courtyard. The man fell back into the street, but after a minute, another one appeared on the gate, and I had to face him.

I was still very worried about the fact that at night people from this crowd went around the house with torches, and said: "It is necessary to burn this to the devilish place." So I ran all night and watched us not to fall. And then, in the spring, in the setting snow around the house, I found dozens of such incended torches.

On weekends through the scored gate, they tried to climb a total of fifty people, but with neighboring guys managed to fight back. However, people still periodically broke through the yard with one, then on the other hand. I remember, one middle-aged man was broken into the house to Bolonkina, in a military white serpent. Please, all the same - show yes show petsenger girl. Bologonkina spent his house, and he did not see any girl.

And in one of the rooms in her apartment there was a clogged door, because Bologunkin cut the entrance to this room elsewhere, and hung on a new entrance curtain. Then this person, coming to the scoring door, began to say: "Yeah! So for her and hiding petrified girls. " Bologonkin said to him: "Yes, you look - here you see the plywood wall on the one hand, here on the other. And here is the most scored door, but on the reverse side. Where can I hide the girl here? " But this man kept told that somewhere here is a secret room. In the end, I'm tired of this nonsense, that a person even believes his own eyes, and I brought a man in Song, and then kicked out to the street.

There was another man who broke through home to one of the neighbors. And the door on the wall hung clothes on a hanger, covered gauze from dust. So he began to poke her finger and shout: "Here is, under this gauze, and a stone girl hides!" I tell him: "What girl? Only clothes are hanging here - and nothing else. " And then I look that this man already removes his drain coat, and it is put on with her hangers - new, good. I tried so much - he with his drain coat yuzom flew, probably ten meters from our house.

After these cases, Bologunkin began to demand from all curious 10 rubles per person for inspection of the apartment. Is it possible to condemn it for it? See ourselves: this house gathered such a huge crowd that the house was walking, and the walls were cracked inside it, and the plaster was filled! That was why Bolonkin and said: "I will collect money from them at least for repair."

By the way, wishing to see her apartment for money was a bit, because everyone wanted to do it for free. And 10 rubles were then good money. Lost, for example, it was possible for 1-2 rubles. Beer then cost 28 kopecks per mug.

It turned out to the point that at the factories and in other organizations the whole commissions were collected, in which members of the party, and trade union figures, and transit of production, sometimes up to 20 people. All of them also came to our house and climbed through the gate, and at the same time they said that they were the official delegation. I saw that these people would seem to be decent, and spoke to them: "Well, pass."

I was presented to me that we, they say, a delegation from such a plant. If among them there were people party, I asked them: "Do you believe in God?" They answered: "No". Then I said to them: "If so, go back to your factory and tell everyone that there is no stone girl." And after that, they still said to me: "No, you first show your apartment!" And I answer: "You said that you don't believe in God! Why do I then show something to you! " And I did not let anyone. So these delegations and went with nothing.

But from the police came rarely to us - if someone is very much hooliganil. But so that they come and examine the premises in search of a petrified girl - this was not. And as for rumors that, in the court, the policemen were allegedly with the heads, there was no such thing. However, there was not at our house and the cordon himself, and even at least a police post. By the way, in those days there were never neither doctors of ambulance, no more priests arrived.

And what was? At the very beginning of the events, the police tried at least free from the crowd a carriageway. But when hiking policemen tried to clean up, they did not succeed. Then they caused the equestrian militia. You would see what the crowd worked with her! The distraught people had enough horses behind the tails and piled on the ground, and the police were painted with horses. Nevertheless, with the help of the equestrian militia, it was possible to remove the crowd with the carriageway of Artsibushevskaya street and restore tram traffic. But in Chkalovskaya trolleybuses did not go for several days.

But actually the authorities in this case almost did not interfere, especially after the equestrian militia worked here. As a result, the people immediately began to say: "Yeah, the militia once intervened, it means that something here is really there." Therefore, soon the police officer received an indication - not to interfere.

True, on the second or on the third day of events I was invited to the Cabinet of the police chief. When I went, there, except the chief, was sitting two more in civilian clothes - apparently, Cagabeshniki. They all started asking me: "What are we going to do?" I say they: "Why do you ask me something? After all, you are power, not me. " Then the police head pulled his gun, handed it to me and said: "Shoot! Now you are in a critical situation - because the whole crowd attacks you. In this case, you can kill anyone - and nothing will be for it. You can't otherwise be defended. " I answered him: "Do not pistol. I have my own rifle, I will find out. " And really beat off.

The pillar of near our house ended somehow. A week later, or at most - ten days later the crowd disappeared. The movement of transport along the streets of Chkalovskaya and Artsibushevskaya was restored. And around the house number 84, only smoothly drowning snow, beaten glass, broken gates of daisy walls remained smoothly. Many residents have stolen different things, mostly small, but someone has access to clothing and shoes - caps, mittens, shoes and even coats. But even after that, for many years in a row, anyone who would go on Chkalovskaya Street still stopped and looked into the courtyard. In this house I lived until 1966, and therefore we moved to another apartment.

The most awesome in this story can be considered the fact that none of the tenants of our house could find out where this rumor was taken about the petrified girl. Personally, I believe that it was organized by the order of the Church. By the way, the name "Zoya" in relation to this legendary "living statue" in the midst of the events of 1956 and immediately after them were never mentioned - even those who were in religious ecstasy to our homes. This name appeared much later, and it is most likely, too, is someone in fiction.

Nobody from the tenants of our house was also known and surname Karnukhov. True, Maria Danilovna Karpushkin lived in the first apartment of the house No. 84, who had a daughter, but the girl was called Tamara, but not Zoya. So the emergence of her name for me is still the mysterious side of this story.

... Unfortunately, in 2006, Vladimir Sergeevich died, leaving after himself only the title title of the conversation (this text with the signature of VS Chegurova has). His former house (Apartment No. 7 House No. 84 on Chkalovskaya Street) was demolished in the 60s, after the hear family moved to another apartment.

And the most awesome in this story should be considered the fact that, according to official data, in January 1956, a girl named Zoya in the house number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street, did not live in neighboring houses. And even this name itself in relation to the legendary "living statue" in those days by anyone and never mentioned - even those who were lezing through the gate in religious ecstasy and in the "terrible" windows. The name Zoya in the stories and folk legends appeared much later - only in the perestroika time, and it is most likely, too, is someone's fiction.

In addition, it was still not possible to find out exactly where this rumor came from at all about the petrified girl, who in January 1956 literally brought the population of a huge city. In the party instances, then they counted that the events on Chkalovskaya Street were organized on the order of the Church. And also, according to unofficial information, this issue was in due time was the management of the KGB in the Kuibyshev region, however, it was not possible to reliably establish a source of rumors and even this competent organization.

Another witness

Head of the Department of the Modern History of the Samara Historical and Local Lore Museum named after P.V. Alabin. The record was made in May 2009.

I was born on December 17, 1954, when my parents lived in Kuibyshev, in the house number 86 on Chkalovskaya Street, in Apartment No. 1. My childhood passed here. By the surname Father I - Irina Sosnina. My father's name was Nikolai Petrovich Sosnin, Mamu - Adeida Vasilyevna, she wore Petukhov's marriage to marriage. Grandma - Petukhova Augustus Nikolaevna. Grandma's sister - Matveeva Galina Nikolaevna. In the house number 86 on Chkalovskaya Street, in Apartment No. 1 they all lived since 1933. And this house was next door to home No. 84 on Chkalovskaya Street, which later became known as the "house of the petrified Zoe." Unfortunately, house number 86, in which my childhood passed, in 1975 burned down, and now in its place there is another building.

At the time of the events took place in January 1956 in Kuibyshev around the house number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street, I was two years and one month. So personally, I do not remember any of these events, and I know about them only in the stories of moms, dads and grandmothers.

At number 84, there were actually several houses on Chkalovskaya Street, one of which, two-story, went out directly to the street. A few more houses were located in the yard, and they were all considered separate apartments of House No. 84. The entrance to the side apartment of the two-story house was (and to this day) from the court. From the street there was an entrance to one of the top apartments where the aunt Galya lived, the fit of the mirror shop, which was located on the same Chkalovskaya Street, opposite our house. In the second top apartment there was aunt Tamara, she worked in a hairdresser. Their names, of course, I do not remember. The entrance to the lower apartment of a two-storey house opened in the courtyard, aunt Vitya lived in it (the Victoria Drug House opened in the courtyard, aunt Vitya lived in it () Ru Mahero. E-street Chkalovskaya, A month. Having P.V.) and her daughter Lyuba which up to the present lives in the same apartment. And then a small building, which later received fame as the "house of petrified Zoe", was considered apartment No. 6 of the same house number 84 on Chkalovskaya Street.

At the time of my childhood, Claudia Bolonkin lived in Apartment No. 6. She had no husband, and whether he was generally, I don't know, and never asked about it. I remember her well, at that time it was an elderly woman. Children of our yard, at each meeting, greet her, called the aunt Klava, and I don't remember her middle name. All families of our two courtyards were warm among themselves, almost a home relationship, so at the patronymic we didn't call any senior - only aunt Galya, aunt Klava and so on. The son of Bologun Vadim was a beautiful and high guy, but in his life I saw only once, when I studied somewhere in the third or fourth class. Yes, and I only paid attention to him only because I once showed him my mother. The whole coupon knew that Vadim spent many years spent in places of detention, and he fell there more than once. Mom told that the son of Bolonkina is a thief, and as soon as he came out of prison, so soon he sat down there again.

On the events of January 1956, which took place in the courtyard of the neighboring house with us, I learned when I studied in the second grade. And I learned this not from my parents or from the neighbors, but from the book dedicated to various superstitions I took in the library. The name of this book I, unfortunately, I do not remember now. In it, I unexpectedly read about the strange incident, which happened for several years in our city of Kuibyshev, and not just in Kuibyshev, and on Chkalovskaya Street, on which we were then lived, and more - in the neighboring house with us number 84. And then Mom and grandmother, and Claudia Bolonkin were talking about it more than once.

I remember that in my childhood, all grandmothers from two of our courtyards often sat in front of the house on a bench and talked about life, about that and about this. And at the same time I remember that people who passed by, often they asked them, whether it was a house in which the petrified girl was. And this question has always caused discontent with our grandmothers. They started talking to one voice - no, no one was standing here, and there was no girl at all, these are all rumors and superstitions.

From mom and grandmother, I know that in those January days on the street in front of our house for several days in a row, a great many people were collected, there was an equestrian militia, and all people sought to get into the house number 84, to see the petrified girl. And since the tenants of the house locked the gate, leading to the courtyard of the house number 84, and did not let the crowd to themselves, the gathered tried to go to them through the yard of our house number 86, since the fence between them was not yet installed, and the passage here was free.

According to mom and grandmother, it all started completely unexpectedly. Nothing foreshadowed the pillar, but once the January day at the house number 84 suddenly people began to gather. Each hour, they became more and more, and in the evening there were already several hundred people on the street. Why they gathered here, at first no one knew, and mom and grandmother this cluster of the people were very frightened, especially since some suspicious personalities tried at this time more than once tried to penetrate the apartments of houses No. 84 and 86, and in our apartment too .

Subsequently, I asked about the Claudia Bolonkin that happened, because then it was very interesting to me. Bologonkina said to everyone that the people in the courtyard appeared quite unexpectedly, and the reason for such a cluster of people was incomprehensible from the very beginning. People one after another came home to her, and asked to show a stone girl. She said to everyone that she had no girl, but people did not believe, and had to show them all the apartment so that they were convinced of her right. Following other people came, they also asked to show the girl, and the whole story was repeated also again. In the end, Bolonkin stopped someone to me, stating that it was tired of it, and she had nothing to show in his house and no one, especially since some of those who came tried to steal some things from her home allegedly "for memory." In the following days, she, according to her, when the yawats were overpowered by her, occasionally allowed to see his apartment to individual representatives of those who gathered, so that they told the rest that nothing interesting in this apartment. So it lasted about a week until the crowd on Chkalovskaya Street did not dissolve. At the same time, Bologunkin said that neither the KGB officers or the police, and no ambulance brigades for the days did not come to her and did not take anyone, and all this later rumors are unknown from where those who have arisen.

In his stories for us, children, Bologonkin repeatedly stated that there was never any stone girl in this house, and what rumors had about her, she did not know. But at the same time, she expressed the following assumption about this. Over the course of several years, Bologunkin has repeatedly handed over the room in its apartment with different residents. Shortly before the events described, she had a priest, or, as he spoke about him - pop. But from what exactly he was coming, or from which church, she did not know. But here it was not necessary to return from the Son of the Son Bolonkina - Vadim. A few days before his arrival, a woman asked the priest to free the room, explaining to him the reason for such a decision. The apartment gathered things and left. A few days later, as expected, Vadim returned to the mother to the mother, and soon after that, unexpectedly, the famous pillar of the Street of Chkalovskaya began.

So, Bologonkina then expressed the idea that all these events were provoked by the very priest, which she asked from the apartment, and which was annoyed by this circumstance. Probably, a woman said, this pop managed to raise a rumor among the Bogomolers about the case of blasphemy, which happened in his former dwelling, and how was the Blahulician Zoya punished for it. Rumors fell on a favorable soil, the people them easily believed and therefore rushed to look at the "holy place". But how justified and reliable these assumptions of Bolonkina, I can not say.

As for the name of the girl who allegedly danced with an icon and because of this petrified, then, according to mom and grandmother, at the time of the events they themselves were not called by anyone. They said simply - "Stone Girl". The name "Zoya" in the context of this incident appeared much later when I studied at school and could aware what happened. I have an assumption why this name arose. Indeed, in early 1956, in one of the buildings, which stood in the courtyard of House No. 84 and was listed as Apartment No. 10, a woman with two daughters lived, and one of them was named Zoya. I don't remember her last name, but I know that in the time of my childhood it was already an adult and worked at the Maslennikov plant. But she has nothing to do with the legendary stone zoe, since this girl lived here for a long time, was alive and healthy, never in any secret hospitals or mental hospitals, and moreover - then married, gave birth to a child and left somewhere with husband. It is possible that after many years in the process of further increasing rumors about the incident on the Chkalovskaya Street, the most "petrified Zoya" was precisely her name. Where now is this real zoya from the neighboring yard, I do not know.

Surname "Karnukhova" in connection with these events I say nothing now. Not a single family and a single person with such a surname at the time of my childhood or in our nor in neighboring houses lived. They did not know people with that surname either my mother nor my grandmother. So about the reasons for the appearance of the legendary "stone zoe" the names "Karnukhov" I can't say anything definite.

As for Vladimir Sergeyevich Chegurova, the tenant of Apartments No. 7 House number 84, I remember him perfectly. He lived in a separate structure, which stood in the depths of the courtyard, even further from the entrance than the house of Bolonkina (he is the house "Stone Zoe"). Somewhere in the first half of the 60s, when I studied in primary grades, the woven got a comfortable apartment and moved from this yard. And in a year or two, their former house, which by that moment was almost collapsed from the windiness. So apartments number 7 in the courtyard of the house number 84 from that time there is no more.

My mother died in 1991, and until the very moment of death, she repeatedly told me and others that all rumors about the "stone girl" are nothing more than rumors. Shortly before her death, at a perestroika wave of publicity, articles on the events that occurred in January 1956 began to appear in local newspapers on Chkalovskaya Street. As a rule, in all these publications, it was stated that the "stone zoya" really existed, and the KGB and the authorities were hidden all the past years and to this day hide this "miracle" from the people.

Mom was very indignant by all these publications. Once she read an article about the "petrified Zoe" in the newspaper "Blagovest," where it was argued that no one of the witnesses of those events alive is no longer there, and therefore the fact of the "miracle" nobody can confirm none to refute. Mom then stated that she wanted to write a letter to a newspaper, as she was a living witness of those events and could tell about how it was actually then. Unfortunately, soon after that, Mom died, but I can confirm all her words and stories about this so-called "miracle", which was not really not.

(This text with the signature I.N. Lazareva has the author).

"Dressed Militiaman" came up with! "

In the 90s, Samara journalist Viktor Evgenevich Petrov was also a collection of information on the topic "Otrokovitsa" on the instructions of the Rio television company.

After that, the TV channel showed his sensational report about the "House Zoe". And then, on the basis of the information collected by him, Petrov at the same time published several articles in local newspapers on the same topic. Many later on the website "wrote.ru" was visited by its material "Mysterious House Zoe".

As Viktor Petrov himself, he himself told the author of these lines, in this and in previous publications about the "stone girl" he intentionally introduced a fictional character to him - that very policeman, who allegedly saw the "Miracle of Zoe", and from this spectacle went in one minute. The journalist assured that then he was not going to mislead anyone at all, but did it only in order to "enhance reliability." However, Petrov, according to him, did not expect any other media immediately, and simply to hang out narrator, giving her for "eyewitness testimony."

Here is an excerpt from the material Viktor Petrov "Mysterious House Zoe".

"People who really want to believe in a miracle are not tired to pass this case from mouth. One of the women turned to the policeman passing by the policeman with a request to say, is there really a petrified girl with an icon? What he took off his cap and said: "Look at my head - and everyone will understand." The head of this enough young man was absolutely sed.

During the collection of information on the topic "Otrokovitsa" it turned out that if no one saw the petrified girl, he met the gray-winged militiaman. And everyone he showed his seed. We found this person. This Zinoviy Isaevich Grigoriev (the name was changed at his request) [In fact, the name, first name and patronymic of this fictional character journalist took Gregory Zinovievich Isaev - V.E.]. Here is his story.

"During the battles for Budapest, I was contused and captured. There and has tripled. Fight. After short disassembly with the NKVD, it was demolished from captains in ordinary. Fought in the finish. After the war, eight years spent in the camps. Then completely rehabilitated. It was even restored to the rank and demobilized from the army with the right wearing military form on orders 100.

I did not believe in miracles, but I really wanted to look at the petrified girl. And it was impossible to get to the house. Then I put a shape, caught the only medal and went to the mud. The adventure was able - I went to the house of Bolonkina. Of course, I did not see any miracle there. Starting from there through the crowd, remembered how he fled from captivity. Then it was thought that this was really a miracle. It became insulting for yourself, and for fooled people.

And the woman stopped at the corner of Artsibushevskaya and field me and asked about the petrified girl - is it true? What should I have to say to her? To say the truth is a pity - so much hope was in her eyes. And I did not want to lie. Therefore, I just removed the cap and told her: "Look and decay myself."

Addition

"Only the house number 84 itself is reminded of the events of 1956, as well as the absence of a bus stop. "As previously eliminated during the" Zoyina Troubles ", and did not restore," the Love of Borisovna Kabaeva (Fig. 24) recalls a resident of the neighboring house (Fig. 24).

She is not glad to my appearance, because visits on the topic of Zoe Carnukhovoy, it is already thoroughly crying.

Now, even at least you began to come, and two years ago, everything was broken from the chain. For the day of times, ten pilgrims came. And everyone ask the same thing, and I answer the same thing - the language of that.

What are you responsible?

And what will answer here? Erund all this! I myself was still a girl in those years, and my mother remembered everything well and told me. In the house of this once lived, not the monk, not the priest. And when the persecution began in the 1930s, he could not stand and renounced faith. Where it was unknown, but only the house sold and left. But along the old memory, religious people often came here, asked where he was going.

And on the very day when Zoya allegedly petrified, in the house of Bolonkin really walked the youth. And how on sin on the same evening some regular nun came. She looked out the window and saw one maiden dancing with an icon. And I went through the streets to draw: "Oh, you, Okhnica! Ah, blasphemy! Ah, your heart is stone! Yes, God shines you. Yes, you are all petrify. Yes, you already petrified! " Someone heard, picked up, then someone else, and went, went.

The next day to Bolonkin's opposite people - where, they say, Baba Stone, let's show. When people got her completely, she called the police. Those put the cordon. Well, how do people usually think? Once not allowed, it means that something is hidden. That's all "Zoino standing."

Well, how do the pilgrims believe you?

Of course not. They say: "Where did Zoe's name pop up then? Yes, together with the surname? "

And really, from where?

I don't know myself. I forgot to ask my mother, and now you can't ask: she died.

Himself house number 84 is deep in the yard. There is no less than a hundred years in appearance to him - I am in the ground in the very windows. Now there is now a young couple with children here: she is a seller on the market, he is a sales representative (Fig. 25-33).

Moscow, Krasnodar, Novosibirsk, Kiev, Munich ... - Natalia Kurdyukova lists cities, from whom pilgrims came to visit. - Odessa, Minsk, Riga, Helsinki, Vladivostok ... The former residents of this house of the drug addict was and did not let anyone, and we are goodwill people - please do not feel sorry.

Hut as a hut. Close room, oven, agony, kitchen. The owner lives somewhere in the area, and the house passes only for anyone to bring the rent and look after the property.

People are interesting, - Nikolai Transndin continues, Natalia's husband. - Every third Mother I saw. Many joke: "It's good that at least 50 years later, Nikolai appeared in this house." And the one that Zoya was waiting for that night, they say became the finished criminal. All life in prisons spent.

Have you noticed anything unusual here?

Two years we live - absolutely nothing. Not to say that we are very believers, but all this story still will slowly affect us. When we settled here, lived in a civil marriage, and now they got married and even married. The son was recently born - Nikolai was also called, in honor of the saint. Well, here and we are still thinking about this topic, - Nikolai bent and patted the palm on the floor.

In the very center of the room in the width of human feet, the floor boards are more fresh and narrow, the rest are dilapidated and times in two thicker.

Cat for some reason here loves to sit here, "Natalia smiles. - I tried to drive, anyway returns. "

In Samara, the house was burned out, where it was once with the icon in the hands of Zoya (Fig. 34-43)

On May 12, 2014, a wooden house was burned in the old Samara, in which a legend in 1956, Zoya, who decided to dance with the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. This urban legend is known, perhaps, all Samara, and far beyond. The private house could easily become a tourist destination, but ...

There is a version that the house was deliberately registered. Fortunately, it cost without human victims. "So far, officials chat on the tourist attractiveness of Samara, these most tourist attractions are burning. After all, the distribution of land in the city is a profitable case, this is the money of today and in one hands, "the Samara lawyer Andrei Sokolov commented on his blog in his blog. Recall that not far from the burned house on Chkalov Street in May 2012, the sculpture of St. Nicholas Wonderworker was established.

The network appeared on the network that the wooden house, a famous legend of "standing Zoe", burned down today in Samara not just so ...

No one says out loud words "arson", but it is practically hanging in the air. Over the house hung the threat of demolition, when it became known that the site was redeemed, and there was planned to build. In the meantime, officials are talking about Samara's tourist attractiveness, these most tourist attractions are burning. After all, the distribution of land in the city is a profitable case, this is the money of today and in one hands.

Whatever officials about love for Samara and care about the inhabitants of the city, this house is simply "told", because it doesn't matter, it was really "standing Zoe" or not - this place could become a kind of memorable place where it would come people. Someone believes in this legend, someone does not believe, but one thing can be said for sure: it is more important than stupid monuments of thieves at the railway station ...

In Samara, a section of the LCD will be erected on the site of the burnt house with a legend

The company "Time Plus", which specializes in the construction of residential buildings and office premises in the central regions of Samara, will build a section on the site of the burnt house on the street. Chkalova, known to all "Standing Zoe," said the mayor of the city in Twitter The head of the administration of the Leninsky district Sergey Semchenko.

On the official website of the construction organization there is a description of a 25-storey monolithic-brick residential building with integrated-attached non-residential premises on the first floors, which is located on Arzybushevskaya Street. The area of \u200b\u200bthe designed construction has an area of \u200b\u200b2909.8 sq.m.

Recall that in May on Chkalov Street, 84 caught fire the old wooden house, next to which events related to the city legend about the standing Zoe took place.

In one of the Samara Orthodox churches, the icon is now exhibited, the plots of which are written on the motives of the legend of "Zoine standing" (Fig. 44-50).

60 years ago, one of the most amazing events in the history of the Union took place. On the outskirts of the closed kuibyshev, the young girl Zoya petrified with the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker in his hands. Standing Zoe has become an all-Union scandal: the crowds of the people from the house Zoe accelerated the equestrian militia, the party officials did everything to hide this mysterious incident.

"The whole city is buzzing like a hive! You sit here, and there ... The girl froze with the icon in his hands, like the inserted! They say it punished her! " - Dr. Anna suffocated from excitement.
The fact that the fact of the girl's petition was, there is evidence of eyewitnesses of those days, the documents of the party meetings.
This emergency and mysterious event occurred on December 31, 1956 in the house of 84 on Chkalov Street. In it lived the usual woman Claudia Bologonkin, whose son thought up to invite his friends on the New Year's Eve. Among the invited was the girl Zoya, with whom Nikolai immediately began to meet.

All girlfriends are with cavaliers, and Zoe was sitting alone, Kolya was delayed. When the dances began, she stated: "If there is no my Nicholas, I will dance with Nikolova!" And headed for the corner where icons hung. Friends were horrified: "Zoya, this is a sin," but she said: "If there is God, let him punish me!" I took the icon, pressed to the chest. He entered the circle of dancing and suddenly frozen, as if he was about the floor. It was impossible to shift it from the place, and the icon could not be taken out of her hands - she was shone tightly. External signs of life The girl did not serve. But in the heart of the heart, the bare knock was heard.
The "Emergency" doctor, Anna tried to revive the zoya. Native sister Anna, Nina Pavlovna Kalashnikov, and now alive, I managed to talk to her.
- She ran home exhausted. And although the police took a subscription to non-disclosure with her, he told everything. And about how she tried to make a girl injections, but it turned out to be impossible. The body of Zoya was so hard that the needles of the syringes did not enter it, broke ...

The incident immediately became known to the law enforcement agencies Samara. Since it was associated with religion, the case was given the status of an emergency, the police were sent to the house, so as not to allow the sevaac. Worried about what. By the third day of standing Zoe, all the streets near the house were branded thousands of people. The girl nicknamed "Zoya Stone".
In the house to the "Stone Zoe" still had to invite priests, because the police were afraid to approach her holding the icon. But no one from the Batyushki could change something until Ieromona seraphim came (poloz). They say he was so light soul and kind that even possessed the prediction gift. He was able to pick up the icon of the frozen hands of Zoe, after which the predest is that her "standing" will end on Easter day. So it came out. It is said that Polaza after this, the authorities asked to abandon involvement in the case of Zoe, but he rejected the proposal. Then he had a fabricated article about her husbandhood and sent to serve a term. After liberation in Samara, he did not return ...

Zoya's body came to life, but it was no longer the same. In the first days she shouted everything: "In sins, the Earth dies! Pray, believe! " From a scientific and medical point of view, it is difficult to imagine how the organism of the young girl could hold out 128 days without food and water. Metropolitan scientists who came at that time to Samara for the sake of such a supernatural case, and could not determine the "diagnosis", which at first took for a certain type of tetanus.
After the case with the joy, as evidenced by its contemporaries, the people massively reached in church and temples. People bought crosses, candles, icons. Who was not baptized, baptized ... Only after all it is known: the change in the consciousness and heart comes in exceptional cases. As a rule, the "good" man becomes only for a while. To deeply feel the essence of the entire spiritual and present, reveal the heart of good and love, the work of the soul is required. And religious, like any external attributes here, with nothing.
Therefore, we say about Zoe or what other character with whom something out of a series of won, the question suggests the following: Why do we, in order to find faith, pay attention to yourself, your actions, our own life, are required drama, tragedy Or wonders and mysticism? While the thunder is not born, the man does not cross off?

Unfortunately, I did not preserve photos of the house 84 on the street. Chkalov in Samara before the fire. I decided to capture at least what is left, because it will be quite a bit of time and the house will be equal to the earth in the construction of new skyscrapers.

Sixty years ago, "Standing Zoe" occurred in Samara.
Cuibyshev (now Samara), Chkalov Street, January 1956, New Year holidays. The worker of the Pipe Plant Zoya Karnukhov, beauty and the atheism, at the New Year's table tried to make blasphemy, for which she was immediately entered the terrible car: the girl petrified and stood 128 days without signs of life. Rumor about it put on the ears the whole city - from ordinary citizens to community managers.
In detail, the folk version of "Zoyina standing" looks like this. On New Year's Eve in the house of Bolonkina Claudia Petrovna at the street of Chkalov, House 84, at the invitation of her son, a company of young people gathered. Claudia Petrovna herself, who worked as a seller in the stall "Beer - Water", was a man of pious, noisy fun in the Christmas post did not approve, so he went to her friend. Having been holding the old year, having met a new and thoroughly loaded with alcohol, young people decided to dance. Among others at the table was Zoya Karnukhov. She did not share the universal fun, and she had reasons. On the eve of the Pipe Plant, she met a young trainee named Nikolai, and he promised to come for a holiday. But time went, and Nikolai was not all. Friends and girlfriends have long danced, some of them began to swing: "What are you not dancing? Yes, forget you about him, he will not come, go to us! " - "Will not come?! - Carnukhov broke out. - Well, since my Nicholas, I will dance with Nikolai Wonderworker! "
Zoya put a chair to the red corner, stood on it and removed the image from the shelf. Even distant from the church and heavily, the guests became unable to: "I hear, better put in place. Not necessarily to joke with this! " But the girl did not succeed: "If God is, then let him shine me!" - Zoya replied and went with an icon in a circle. A few minutes of this terrible dance in the house suddenly some kind of noise rang out, the wind rose and flashed lightning. When the surrounding came to themselves, the blasphemy had already stood in the middle of the white room like marble. Her legs risen to the floor, the hands squeezed the icon so hard that it was no possibility to snatch it. But the heart beat.
Zoya stayed in a semi-dimensional figure of 128 days - to the Easter itself. From time to time she published heartbreaking screams: "Pray, people, in sins die! Pray, pray, crosses wear, in the crosses go, the earth dies, swinging like a cradle! .. "From the first days, the house on Chkalov Street was taken under the enhanced guard, not allowed no special permission inside. Called from Moscow some "professor of medicine", whose name in life is not mentioned. And on the holiday of the Nativity of Christ, a certain "Hieromonach Seraphim" was allowed. After serving the watered prayer, he removed the icon from the hands of Zoe and returned it to the place. Perhaps we are talking about the then pain of the Petropavlovsk Church of the city of Kuibyshev Seraphim Pole.
Zoins of torment ended after the phenomenon of the Nicholas of the Wonderworker. Shortly before Easter to the house, a plentiful elder approached and asked the police officers to let him into the house. He was told: "Out out, grandfather." On another day, the elder comes again and again receives a refusal. On the third day, the Holiday of Annunciation, the "Fishing of God" of the guard missed the elder to Zoe. And heard the police as he asked the Maiden: "Well, tired standing?" How much he stayed there is unknown, but only when it was enough to look for him, they could not find. Later, when Zoya came to life, then the question was with a mysterious visitor, she pointed to the icon: "In the front angle," Soon after that, the phenomenon, on the eve of Easter, in the muscles, Zoe Carnukhova began to appear, and she could get off the place. According to another version, it is still long before the holiday, they were taken to a psychiatric hospital with the sexes, to which she increased, and when he struck the floor, the blood splashed out of the tree. "How did you live? Who fed you? " - asked Zoya when she came to himself. "Pigeons! - There was an answer. - Pigeons feed me! "
For further fate, Zoe Carnukhova is told in different ways. Some believe that three days later she died, others are confident that he was torn in a mental hospital, and the third sacred believe that Zoe lived in the monastery and secretly buried in Trinity-Sergiyev Lavra.
