Aralsk-7 - a military test ground for biological weapons on 15 th Chief of General Staff of the USSR Ministry of Defense.
Opened in 1848 the expedition of Lieutenant A. Butakova Island Renaissance (initially named the island of them. Tsar Nicholas I) was ideally suitable for fishing and hunting. On the overgrown bushes in the territory of 216 square kilometers паслись vast herds of saiga (steppe antelope), two-bay replete with fish and waterfowl game.
In the late 30's on the island settled bacteriologists. A small test area on the island bio-renaissance of the Aral Sea has acted in the 1936-37 year.
In 1948, was closed before the island fish, and in its place moved the military. By the end of 1949, the revival was equipped runway capable of taking military transport aircraft. A few kilometers from the village grew Kontubek two and three barracks and houses for the families of young scientific personnel and the personnel of the military part of the so-called chemical forces. In the center of town vysilos headquarters building. At the edge of parks were special military and automotive technology. A few kilometers from the village was built by the so-called laboratory building. Around a few shanty-type structures. Next polygon, and another power plant.
The test range has been expanded and is now known as "Aralsk-7. On the island moved military unit consisting of several hundred people. It is equipped ships and aircraft.
This was the largest site, where the method of spraying and detonation had biological weapons based on anthrax, plague, tularemia, Ku-fever, brucellosis, sap, and other highly dangerous infections, as well as a large number of model reagents.
In the southern part of the island was a platform upon which to spray the aerosol components of biological weapons. Studied methods of detection, as well as special testing bombs filled pathogenic microbes.
Deadly strains produced in the defense industry in Kirov, Sverdlovsk, Zagorsky, as well as to the Kazakhstan Stepnogorsk. Tests were conducted on horses, monkeys, sheep and laboratory animals type of white mice, guinea pigs and hamsters.
Along with the arena built on the peninsula konezavod Kulandy - specifically for the needs of the military. Dozens of horses being transported to the island: some of the tests conducted, but the majority took the blood for the preparation of whey - a breeding environment for the development of deadly strains. Dead horses bury somewhere in the remote parts of the island.
By the 80 th years of fighting, or the model strains of microorganisms have already been made through genetic engineering.
On the island itself was a few thousand soldiers and scientists. In addition, several military units (including the Air Force and Navy) have been quartered in the city of Aral to the north, Kazakhstan's coast, where the deployed headquarters site.
Tentative work plan for the island of Renaissance (the official name of Aralsk-7) coming from Moscow. Reliable information about the weather on the island was the most valuable - providing meteorological experts were of the polygon. Upon receiving it, to plan military exercises. Usually in the winter on the island of research activity was limited to laboratory work in closed environments, and only with the onset of summer, from late May until September, and experimentation, as they say, brought in fresh air. The military needed a steady wind. To 2-4 meters per second and at 4-5 hours, not less. Sometimes had to wait "otmashki" on two or three days.
All tests conducted on the island of the Renaissance, were accompanied by anti-epidemic measures, polygon processed dezrastvorami. In addition, the temperature on the island in summer reaches 45 degrees Celsius, which allowed 10 days after the next test "naturally" reduced almost to zero "level of bacteriological contamination of soil.
Poligon operated until 1992, then troops had been redeployed, biolaboratoriya - dismantled part of the military equipment moved out of the island, but part remains buried on the island. Securely closed the eyes of the island is rapidly depopulated. People leave all the furniture in homes and even televisions. Two vehicles were left intact. Add a picture to add freight "ZILy, Kirovets, other tractors, repair shops, parts warehouses, stew and uniforms. From 1993 to 1998, Renaissance Island, which geographically belongs to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, in fact, been delivered into the hands of fans of easy money, motor vehicles, power plants have been looted and the laboratory building and the adjoining barracks remained relatively intact.
Now the road from the Renaissance to the island Aralsk takes day. Initially, 300 kilometers of steppe road to the town on the peninsula Kulandy, then 3 hours at sea motorke. From this shore to the military camp 45 kilometers.
