The Mystery of the Tyhrycckoro Explosion

Yes, old Vasily Okhchen, we slept peacefully in

And suddenly some unknown force picked up
the power of both the plague and its inhabitants into the air.
A second later people fell to the ground - Aky-

And yet against the comet hypothesis
there are compelling objections. Original-
a version was proposed by Novosibirsk scientists

applied mechanics of the Siberian department
Russian Academy of Sciences V. Zhuravlev and
employee of the academic Institute of Geo-
logy and geophysics A. Dmitriev.

And so a new version of that was born,
what happened in the area of Podkamennaya Tyh-
