A small biography of Leonid A. Kukik (1883-1942), the real hero of Secret Files: Tunguska. He was the first one to organize an expedition to explore the Tunguska region.
Leonid A. Kulik was borned in the city of Tartu in Estonia.
He became a student at the St. Petersburg Forestery Institute and followed up his studies with mathematics and physics at the Kazan University.
He, later, joined the russian army for the Russian-Japanese war (1904-1905) and also for the World War 1 (1914-1918).
After WW1, he became a teacher at the Mineralogical Museum in St. Petersburg. His speciality: study and collection of meteorites.
His greatest move was to convince the soviet authorities that it would be a good idea to investigate all the fallen meteorites on their territories and that the soviet gouverment would be able to sell some very needed minerals to the the soviet industries. Everyone would become winners.
He got the assignment and while getting ready for his expedition, he came across an old re-printed newspaper article about a strange explosion that had happened in the Tunguska region in Syberia. This article also mentionned that some eyewitnesses that were travelling on a train for Syberia did see, after stopping, a fallen object that had been too hot to be examined closely.
After some more research, Kulik became convinced that a really big fallen meteorite could be the only possible explanation. He then decided to make this event his new priority.
In 1921, his first expedition did not go very far. The maps were not as good as our modern ones but he did manage to get near the general area and was able to collect many stories told by the natives people from that region.
In 1927, a second expedition was organized and he was able to reach the Tunguska " event " site after many difficulties like poor food, millions of mosquitos, infections and also due to the fact that his first natives guides did refuse to go all the way on the sacred land of the god " Ogdy " who has cursed the Tunguska region. Kulik did find another team of natives guides that were willing to accompany him for the rest of the journey.
We will soon tell you of Kulik's findings in a next article.
Kulik did organise more expeditions until the beginning of World War 2. He was captured by the german army and died of typhus in a prison camp on April the 24th, 1942.
The friends of the Secret Files: Tunguska salute your courage, Leonid A. Kulik

Side Notes.
Before the 1908 Tunguska Event, the syberian region's mysteries were already famous among the native people. They had many stories and legends related to "big balls of Fire" in their skies and about Ogdy, the god of storms in the sky.
Our favorite ones are about...
1- A lake that was emptied, metal doors that did open at the buttom and about big pillars of light that were projected in the sky.
2- Mysterious balls of fire that could move, stop or change directions in the sky and even seen at times to be attacking themselves. Some legends tell about gods practicing their "targetting habilities". It was beleived that their job was to protect the land and people from "outside" interferences. A parrallel could be made, here, between their Ogdy god and the Anannuki god of storms back in sumerian's days. Both were kind of eagle like gods.
3- A story about a yakut shaman who did warn his people (10 hours ahead) about a big manifestion that was about to happen.
4- But our favorite would have to be the "Tesla connection".
Tesla was quite a genius and well ahead of his time. His best idea was to find a way to transmit energy through air and/or ground to anywhere it was needed on our planet. His last big experiment (due to lack of funds) was called the "Wardencliff test"(Tesla's Tower photo at left). Many people beleive it could be related to the Tunguska Event. It is easy for us to understand that he was perceived as a threat by the big Power Companies of his time (like Marconi). In one of his letter, he did confirm that, contrary to the general belief, he did go through with the test. The Tunguska region might well have been his target because it was thought to be scarsely inhabited.
You may check the Net about these subjects. It could keep you busy for many, many weeks.
See you in Part 4.
