An event dedicated to the Day of the Polar Explorer was held in the nature of the park “Russia – My History”. The main topic of the event was the discussion of the implementation of projects, including in the village of Ust-Olenyok in 2021, where an open chapel was built in memory of Vasily and Tatiana Pronchishchev, the press service of Il Tumen reports.
First Deputy Minister for the Development of the Arctic and the Peoples of the North of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Sergei Neustroev It was noted that the history of the systemic development of the Arctic has a little more than 100 years, and during this time the polar territories have not changed much. Complex expeditions of the Northern Fleet and the Russian Geographical Society to the UK for Arctic observations have already become a tradition.
The main topic of the event was the discussion of the implementation of projects, including in the village of Ust-Olenek in 2021, where a chapel built in memory of Vasily and Tatiana Pronchishchev was opened.
The scientific leader of the expedition to perpetuate the memory of the people of Kaluga, the pioneers of the North, members of the Great Northern Expedition of 1733-1743, Ruslan Smolensky, told what a straight path of 8600 km from Saratov to Ust-Olenok they overcame in order to give data and honor to the pioneers of the North Tatyana and Vasily Pronchishchev.
He noted that the discovered LA-8 amphibians were found on him.
We remind you that in August 2021, for the opening of the chapel built in memory of Vasily and Tatyana Pronchishchev, the leaders flew on an LA-8 amphibious aircraft, under investigation by the famous polar pilot Sergei Alafinov. They barely reached the village of Ust-Olenyok, Bulunsky District, by two planes through the Anabarsky District. Several times the trip was on the brink of failure because of the smoke. The LA-8 amphibious aircraft was developed by the future Samara enterprise AeroVolga. Today there are no industrial enterprises in the world. The flight once again showed the reliability and efficiency of the La-8 seaplane in the Arctic.
