 camp, place with historical importance, abandoned / shut down, mine, ghost town, GULAG

Located on the peninsula Cheluskin in the years 1951-1952. The number of prisoners there - 200-300 people. The Party prisoners were brought in mainly for the construction of a large camp on the extraction and enrichment of uranium ore. In addition, prisoners were employed in geological-search, exploration and business operations. Geological work may be accompanied by associated production of small amounts of radioactive ores.

Systematic geological survey started here in 1946-47. forces of the Central Taimyr and Chelyuskinskoy cruises trust «Arktikrazvedka» Mining and Geology Management GUSMP, and he continued in 1947-48. Eastern Taimyr expedition. work involved a large team of geologists, surveyors, geophysicists, reservoir, workshops, more than 50 people. Apparently, during the shooting have been found promising ore for further exploration which in 1948-50 was a major expedition was organized by the Norilsk Mining and Metallurgical Combine MoI. The base of the expedition was placed on the right r.Zhdanova, the right tributary r.Leningradskoy, south of the mountains of October, on the southern periphery of the plateau Lodochnikova.
Forces of the expedition had been built two runways (their location, however, frequently changed) - the winter and summer, taking planes Igarskoy aviagrupppy the Office of Polar Aviation GUSMP and air Noril'sk combine. For service to aviation in 1950, worked as expedition meteorological station. The settlement, called the «Fisherman», were built several residential and industrial premises. Heavy goods were imported in «Fisherman» 100-km zimniku Zimovochnoy of the bay on the northern coast of the Gulf of Thaddeus.

In 1951 in the village. Fisherman you a single storage item Norillaga. Prisoners were brought by boat from the bay Dudinka Zimovochnuyu where they etapirovalis (on foot or by tractor sledge) for almost lifeless, hilly, rugged beams and shallow river valleys tundra (over 700 km!).
OLP built «perspective», because «Front Works» for prisoners in the 1951-1952 biennium. was small: the prisoners were built (except for camps), new residential and business premises for the expedition, and were employed in mining (digging pits and ditches, underground mine workings there was not), but also used for business operations. In the main village of the expedition in March 1953 were 16 buildings (8 dwelling houses, office, dining room, a radio station with two 15-meter antenna towers, garage, power plant, and warehouses), outdoor storage GPS, meteorological, and a few beams and tents.

By 1952 the situation changed. In the USSR, were found large deposits of radioactive materials into the ground more comfortable. Conservation expeditions and camps in «Fisherman» became impractical due to low ore prospects, and because of the difficulty of regular supplies of equipment, food, construction, oil and lubricants. The decision on the conservation of the expedition, it was the leadership of MMC Norilsk in March-April 1952 and October 24, an order of MIA on the Elimination of hcp-21.

Preservation and transportation of the property continued until the summer of 1954, when the fisherman was abandoned by people forever. Finished its work group conservation (ceased operation of the airport and have an unnecessary polar station. Pilots with Dixon and Khatanga, occasionally flying today in these places, tell us about 7-8 dilapidated wooden buildings.
