Horror Factory - Ammonit (German Edition)

On June 4, , not far from the railway station in the city of Arzamas, a train car carrying munitions from a nearby weapons factory suddenly exploded. The blast damaged buildings for two kilometers 1. According to official reports, 91 people died, were injured, and hundreds of families were left without roofs over their heads. The government investigated the incident for several years, but many victims and local authorities to this day still believe the state is hiding the truth from the public.

Meduza special correspondent Daniil Turovsky went to Arzamas and met with victims and emergency responders to learn more about what happened 30 years ago. On the morning of June 4, , an engine operator named Yuri Mikanovich was on shift and having an ordinary day. Today was one of those days. Around eight in the morning, the train left for Arzamas; the cargo was meant for miners in the southern part of the country.

The train came in along a railway embankment that rose slightly above many homes built close to the tracks. When Mikanovich came to, his partner was shaking him and the engine cabin was still dark. The two climbed out and realized that the shockwave had carried a couple hundred meters more than yards. The locomotive comprised two pieces, and the part closest to the train cars had taken the full force of the blast.

They hailed a ride to the hospital.

That same morning, year-old Valentina Mitrofanova was also at work. She had a job at a local cafeteria and they were expecting a large crowd that day. Outside, it was sunny and hot. Mitrofanova had just started to cook when a rumble suddenly shook the building.

Assuming the boiler had broken down yet again, she looked outside and saw children evacuating a school across the street through blown-out windows. She decided that some chemistry class experiment had apparently gone wrong, and one of her colleagues guessed that a gas cylinder had exploded. The women went back to work. Twenty minutes later, a man dropped off groceries and told them that the blast had come from seven kilometers 4.

The apartment was one of seven in a solid, one-story barracks, however, and Mitrofanova assumed they would be safe.

Just in case, though, she bolted for the train station. It took her almost an hour to reach the station. The closer she got, the clearer it became that something terrible had happened. At first, Mitrofanova saw broken glass and branches scattered on the ground. Then she started running into people covered in blood, staggering toward her. One woman was running for the hospital, carrying a bloodied child in her arms.

Police officers and soldiers had surrounded the area near the station. At first, he refused to let her pass, but the crowd soon started shouting, and Mitrofanova was able to slip through. Next, Mitrofanova ran another four kilometers 2. She ran into a nurse she knew and asked her to find out about her relatives, but all the woman could tell her was: An hour later, Mitrofanova returned to the blast site with her husband, who worked as a bus driver. Tatyana Shchegoleva, a local factory worker, also saw the wreckage that day. The plant sent her and several others, including a few medics, to help clear the debris.

When the explosion happened, Shchegoleva was still at home, eating breakfast.

She says she ran outside and saw a black mushroom cloud rising above the blast site. A bus later delivered her to the same barricade where police had tried to keep out Valentina Mitrofanova. They found no one alive in the rubble. One of the men working with Shchegoleva found the remains of his own wife. After the Second World War, there were only 30, people in Arzamas. Arzamas also got a brewery, beloved by locals for its kvas and lemonade. Eventually, high-rise apartment buildings started appearing among the single-story homes and their gardens.

By the late s, there were almost , people living in the city. The explosion on June 4, , affected almost all of them. In , about 70 kilometers 44 miles from Arzamas, there was a closed town called Arzamas modern-day Sarov. People in the city knew about this place, and they knew it was where the military developed and built nuclear weapons. When a black mushroom cloud spread across the city, many people assumed there had been a nuclear blast. Some saw street-cleaning cars and feared the worst: Vyacheslav Lomakin, an Arzamas local, said he thought the Americans had attacked Soviet nuclear weapons silos.

A pensioner told the newspaper Pravda: The hospitals ran out of room, and injured people were brought to a courtyard and laid out on top of quilted jackets. Doctors treated them right there on the ground. When paramedics moved the wounded from one hospital to another, crowds of people looking for their relatives mobbed the ambulances. Some patients were taken to Gorky, others to Moscow, and so on. Within 48 hours of the explosion, surgeons had treated roughly a thousand injuries and performed seven craniotomies.

On the morning of June 4, Tatyana Kuklina waited with her mother at a bus stop, planning to visit their dacha outside the city. When it finally showed up, the Kuklins and several other people asked the driver to let them out at the railway crossing.

Kuklina later woke up on the ground. She was lying in darkness, and something black was sprinkling down on her, when she lost consciousness again. Awaking a second time, she tried to understand how long it had been, but her wristwatch had stopped working. The woman ran to look for her mother, whom she found crushed between two fallen poplars planted alongside the railway. Her body was put with the other corpses, stacked on top of each other in a hallway. Together with police officers and soldiers, they surveyed the crater, collecting body parts in black plastic bags.

There are casualties, residences were destroyed, and communications were disrupted.
