Распутываем тайну загадочных обломков в карельском лесу/Раскопки Второй мировой войны

In December 1943, a Soviet Li-2 aircraft appeared like a ghost over the Karelian Isthmus. It raced over Finnish positions and vanished. Its wreckage was found only seven decades later. Painstaking research helped piece together a stunning story, one that encompasses everything: high-stakes politics, a detective story set in a winter forest, and wartime excavations...

"Smoke of the Fatherland" is the official channel of the Ozerny search team (St. Petersburg) and the Kuuterselkä 1944 memorial and historical district (Leningrad Region). Our hobby is excavating remains from World War II. We search for Soviet and Finnish soldiers missing in action during the Winter War and the Great Patriotic War, and we explore little-known chapters of history and wartime monuments. Military archeology is our hobby and our purpose in life. We're not interested in excavations simply for the sake of iron and artifacts—we strive to see a piece of history in every find, trying to touch the fate of its owner. Many of our finds—those that comply with Russian law and pose no danger—can be seen at our exhibitions and tours at the Kuuterselkä 1944 Memorial and Historical District (https://vk.com/kuuterselka). All soldiers we find, regardless of their military affiliation, are buried with full military honors in mass graves or returned to their homeland. We don't engage in politics or politicking; our interest lies in wartime research and military history as it is remembered today.
