All versions of the boy's disappearance in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. Will he be found? Missing children who were found alive after a long time "I do not believe in any of the versions"

Why go to the forest at night looking?

-I saw Maxim in the village on Saturday. At five o'clock in the evening. Before that, I was in the forest. She left, and here Maxim was driving. I told him: "Don't be afraid, Maxim, Rex doesn't bite." And he says, they say, "I'm not afraid," - Valentina Alexandrovna, a resident of Novy Dvor, says that Maxim was friends with her son and often came to visit them.

According to the interlocutor of Sputnik, her friend said that on the same day, but after 19:00, she saw Maxim riding in the center of the village. And then, as he fell through the ground, everyone said that he had gone into the forest. But the woman is sure that going to the forest so late is unlike Maxim. After all, at eight o'clock in the evening at this time of the year it is already getting dark, and the boy would not want to go into the darkness.

- He was a little cowardly. Even my puppy was afraid. When he came to us, he usually stands near the gate and calls: "Ilyusha!" or "Aunt Valya!". And I'll go out and take him to the house. And to go into the forest at night, it's unlikely,- adds Valentina Alexandrovna.

Many in the village agree that if the child had been in the forest that evening, he would have been found. After all, the search began immediately and continued even at night. And a child wandering through the night forest could not have gone far.

Made plans to escape for three years

The villagers assume that the boy could be very frightened of something. And not bison, but, for example, the coming punishment for some kind of offense. " Maybe he was afraid of his parents?- the neighbors argue and tell one telling example.

Last year, for some reason, Maxim went to the lake alone, without his parents, went swimming and nearly drowned. He was rescued by people nearby. On that day, his parents severely punished him, they say, even beat him. Rumor has it that then the boy, either seriously, or out of resentment, said to his parents: "I won't live with you and I'll run away anyway. You don't buy anything for me, everything for Sasha (older brother - Sputnik)".

In the village, the words of Maxim's own grandmother are also transmitted, who told how her grandson several years ago, when he was 7 or 8 years old, said: "I will run away from home anyway." Grandmother to him: "They will find you." And he: "They won't find me, I'll go to the swamps." And then he periodically said that he had such a plan.

Another resident of Novy Dvor, Tatyana Petrovna, said that the child in recent times has changed.

-Maxim has been friends with my grandson since the age of five. Always together when he's on vacation. And this year, the grandson said that he would no longer be friends. That Maxim began to smoke, behaved differently. Maybe it's teenage. I regret that I didn’t tell my parents right away, it was my grandson who asked me not to tell anyone,- recalls the villager.

At the same time, the woman emphasizes several times that Maxim's family is very positive, prosperous, hardworking parents.

Could leave

The main version, which the inhabitants of Novy Dvor are inclined to believe, is that Maxim left for another area, and did so on the same evening or the next morning. The child most likely had money. Even local children say that it is very easy to earn them in Pushcha. For example, you can sell berries or mushrooms. And everyone characterizes Maxim as a very lively and purposeful boy. It is said that he often went to the forest.

Tatyana Petrovna argues: " So many times they searched with thermal imagers, walked with dogs, and how many people passed through the forest on the weekend. Ours are constantly moving. If the boy had been here, they would have found at least some traces."

Rumors that in different time they saw a child either in the forest or on the road, the neighbors consider it fiction. And they immediately ask: "If they saw a child, why didn't they catch up? They are adults. But it turns out that they saw it and allowed them to leave."

Many locals constantly go to the forest on their own to look for Maxim.

-My soul hurts for the boy and for the family. We don't sleep at night either. Every day and day and evening I go to the forest, I call him. And now I'm also going, maybe there's something, - adds Valentina Alexandrovna.

Recall that Maksim Markhaliuk disappeared on September 16, the Republican wanted list was announced. On September 26, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case into the disappearance of the child. Maxim has not been found yet. The main version of the police is that the boy got lost in the forest.

Maxim Markhaliuk, according to residents of the village of Novy Dvor, has often said over the past three years that he wants to leave home.

Lost in the forest Maxim Markhaluk thought about running away from home, and for a long time. This is told by the inhabitants of the village of Novy Dvor, in the surrounding forests of which they have been looking for a 10-year-old boy for the second week already. Many are sure: the child was not lost, but consciously left home.

Recall that Maxim Markhaliuk disappeared on September 16, was put on the national wanted list. On September 26, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case into the disappearance of the child. Maxim has not been found yet. The main version of the police - the boy got lost in the woods.

For the first time in my life, I indifferently passed by mushrooms - there are a lot of them in the Svisloch region. But we were not looking for mushrooms: 10-year-old Maxim Markhaliuk left home on September 16, and the boy's whereabouts are still unknown. This search has already been called the largest rescue operation in the country. The Ministry of Emergency Situations, the police, the military, employees of forestries and the National Academy of Sciences, local residents and hundreds of volunteers - in the small agricultural town of Novy Dvor, everyone was united by a big misfortune.

If you see wild animals, stop

I found the contacts of Andrey Vorobyov, a resident of Minsk, in the group of the Angel search and rescue squad: tables for volunteers are posted on social networks. different points countries gather in the New Court. Whoever cannot go on a journey, passes through fellow travelers food, things, medicines, necessary equipment. For the rest, drivers report the number free places in the car, check-out time and phone number. A conversation with a stranger takes no more than a minute:

Andrey, can I go with you?

Missing Maksim Markhaluk

On Friday morning we are on our way to the Grodno region. All four in this car have the same answer to the question "Why?". Otherwise, we are parents ourselves. Spouses Andrey and Anna left the kids to their grandmother, designer Alexander - with his wife:

- My child is ten years old, like Maxim. Yesterday I solved all work issues, asked for leave. Didn't explain where. Superfluous.

At the entrance to Novy Dvor along the highway, dozens of cars are parked in a long line - there are no passengers in them, everything is in the forest. The newly arrived volunteers first go to the center of the agro-town: here in the Novodvorsky village council a situational headquarters is set up, and tents of the Red Cross stand nearby on the street. Newcomers are registered by Ekaterina Makarenko:

– At 11:00 am, there are 398 people on the list. Svisloch, Volkovysk, Grodno, Pruzhany, Brest, Kobrin, Soligorsk, Minsk, Molodechno, Gomel - it seems that the whole country has gathered here. Those who could not come were given packages with food, warm clothes, batteries, office supplies. The locals are very helpful, preparing hot meals.

An operational meeting is being held in the village council building, after which instructions will be given in which directions to move. In the meantime, volunteers are divided into groups, provided with printouts of maps and orientations, and instructed:

- It is advisable to download the navigator. Communication in the forest can be lost, so stick to your neighbors. No one enters the forest one at a time - only at the command of the leaders. Prompt, but do not swear. If you notice traces, things, stop the line. Stop when you see wild animals.

There are no foreign children

While waiting for the start, the volunteers discuss only one topic: where can Maxim be? Frightened by the animals and went deep into the thicket? Or maybe hiding in a neighboring village? Kidnapped? No matter how terrible the assumptions are, no one loses hope of finding a child.

“If you don’t believe in the best, then you don’t need to go,” says the teacher of pre-conscription training at the Grodno high school No. 28 Pavel Blysh. - The guys and I are almost local, from Sokolniki, we navigate in the forest, although we are looking for a person for the first time.

“There are no other people's children,” Elvira, an entrepreneur from Vaukavysk, joins the conversation. - Especially when trouble happens nearby, how can you sit quietly at home here? Everyone in our city is worried. Who did not go, constantly looking through the news, waiting for a good outcome.

Katerina Pochebut has three children, the youngest is not even a year old:

- Today my husband has a “daddy's” day (an additional day off for parents with many children. - Approx. “ZN”), we decided to use it for good. They asked their grandmother to look after the children, and they themselves came here. Grief can happen in any family, it is impossible not to support.

Elena Morozova from Brest was on the search three times in a week:

- 119 kilometers from home one way, not so far, I'm driving. We walked through the forests, through the swamps - it was empty.

“Check well at the landfill, it is not far from the place where the bicycle was found,” Vera Denisovna, an old-timer of the village, approaches a group of volunteers. – I used to work as a school teacher, I know that children can hide in such places. I had students who liked to hide in "shovishcha", in the trees. I don’t see any other places, in the forest everything that was possible has already been bypassed. How long I live, I do not remember so many people here.

In the village council on the table is a list with telephones local residents willing to provide accommodation. Since last Saturday, everyone here has been living with one thought - to find Maxim, Yanina Sikor sighs:

– There are just over 600 residents in Novy Dvor, and everyone who can walk is now in the forest. Teachers, workers, foresters, young people are all there. Maxim's parents and older brother also do not sit at home, they are constantly looking. I don't know what could have happened. Nobody got lost in our village.

Every meter is walked in the forest

If he were here...

Helicopters of the Ministry of Emergency Situations fly in the sky over Belovezhskaya Pushcha. On the ground, every inch of the forest near the agro-town is explored by specialists and volunteers. Our group is sent to the neighboring Studeniki and Boyars: it is necessary to check every yard, attics, abandoned sheds and cellars.

The local grandparents do not need to explain what we forgot here:

- We know, children, we cry every day. We have already searched for him, they came on motorcycles - there is no one.

After several hours of searching the villages, we are convinced that the locals are right. We do not find traces of Maxim in the forest near the New Court. In a chain of 20 people we explore the forest - kilometer after kilometer, until the evening. And nothing. Volunteers go home

- Every meter is covered here. The other day they even found a saw that the foresters had lost many years ago. If Maxim were in Pushcha, they would have found him by now.

And yet there is still hope. The search will continue until the result, assures the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee, Police Major General Vadim Sinyavsky:

– We have coordinated the activities of all interested bodies and departments, including volunteers. From the first days, three aircraft of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, drones, more than a thousand people have been involved - searches are ongoing at night. Now all possible versions are being worked out. We hope that the boy is alive and will be found soon.

TO THE POINT

The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case into the disappearance of Maxim Markhaliuk in the Svisloch region. On Tuesday, September 26, ten days have passed since the parents filed an application that the child is missing. All this time, operational-search and search activities were carried out. official representative SK Julia Goncharova:

- As in all similar situations, the investigators got involved in the work from the first days. I note that all versions are being worked out. However, we have no direct reason to say that the disappearance of the boy is of a criminal nature. We ourselves hope for the best.

Maxim Markhaliuk, according to residents of the village of Novy Dvor, has often said over the past three years that he wants to leave home.

Maksim Markhaliuk, who disappeared in Pushcha, had been thinking about running away from home for a long time. This is told by the inhabitants of the village of Novy Dvor, in the surrounding forests of which they have been looking for a 10-year-old boy for the second week already. Many are sure: the child was not lost, but consciously left home.

Why go to the forest at night looking?

“I saw Maxim in the village on Saturday. At five o'clock in the evening. Before that, I was in the forest. She left, and here Maxim was driving. I told him: "Don't be afraid, Maksimka, Rex doesn't bite." And he says, they say, "I'm not afraid,"- says Valentina Alexandrovna, a resident of Novy Dvor, Maxim was friends with her son and often came to visit them.

“My soul hurts for the boy and for the family. We don't sleep at night either. Every day and day and evening I go to the forest, I call him. And now I’m also going, maybe there’s something, ”- adds Valentina Alexandrovna.

Recall that Maxim Markhaliuk disappeared on September 16, was put on the national wanted list. On September 26, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the fact of the disappearance of a child. Maxim has not been found yet. The main version of the police - the boy got lost in the woods.

Continue. Still no consensus"What really happened to the boy?" The inhabitants of the village of Novy Dvor and everyone who follows this story has their own version of what is happening. One of the participants in the search for Maxim decided to put all the versions together and talk about it.

So. Before digging into such a furious topic, I simply have to make a number of explanations. The next paragraph is dedicated to just that. You can sleep for now.

I didn’t want to write about this topic, but you can’t command your heart. For the last two days, I, like many other Belarusians, have been captured by one huge detective. The whole country sincerely worries about the boy, although the mind has long understood everything (I would like it to be wrong). This is not an attempt to hype on a hot topic. But when a text has been written willy-nilly in the head for the last 48 hours, it is impossible not to release it. Anticipating a lot of questions: yes, he helped the search, transferred money to PSO "Angel".

I tried to abstract as much as possible from conclusions and value judgments. I won't blame anyone. All the coincidences that have happened in the past, are happening now and will happen in the future, are random. I don't have any insiders. None of the versions (except the official one) from this text should be taken into account by law enforcement and other related authorities. I, like all of you, hope for a successful outcome. All my work on this topic consisted in the fact that, armed with a tablet and a reserve of time, I collected information on the Internet, paying special attention to comments, reading even the wildest ones. The result is a list of versions, each of which I will try to diversify. Go!

1. Version aboutofficial: the boy is lost

In favor of the version:

Yes, you look, in the end, where it all happened! On the edge of Belovezhskaya Pushcha! I repeat: BELOVEZHSKAYA FOREST! For a second, one of the largest (if not the largest) relic forest in Europe! All the nonsense about the fact that the boy “couldn’t get lost”, “knew the forest like the back of his hand”, “brought the mushroom pickers out” (I can directly imagine how the boy, instead of the rescuers, runs into the forest to lead the mushroom pickers out). He who cannot swim never drowns. For he does not climb into the water, but sits on the bank, dangling his leg. And only good, experienced swimmers drown. Because self-confident. Even adults get lost in three pines, and this is a child! The video from the scene clearly shows how overgrown the forest is in those places. And the wording “Searched everything within walking distance of the child” does not hold water at all. Who measured it, that reach. He wants to - and 100 kilometers will pass. Adrenaline and stress take their toll. Several traces were found, although it is difficult to say that they definitely belong to Maxim. But on the spot there were many traces of bison, which could frighten the boy and he rushed from them into the thicket.

Against version:

There is no need to even say anything here. Just look at the map.

Despite the fact that the village is surrounded on all sides by forest, it is not that big. Even on Yandex Maps, you can see that there are enough white spots in the forest. Add to this great amount paths, clearings, wandering rangers and foresters, camera traps, etc. Even if the boy just starts walking in one direction, in less than a day he will come out into the light of God. They began to look for him practically at once, shouting, signaling, but no answers. According to the volunteers, the forest was encircled over time and combed completely. That is, the boy simply cannot be in the forest, both alive and dead. The only exception is that a child could drown in a swamp - although in this case there must be at least some traces! And why should a child go to the forest at dusk? We add here the testimony of his brother: "He did not go anywhere far alone." How this fits in with "Knew the forest like his own pocket" is still unclear. The purple line on the map from one point to another is only 16 km long. As for the bison: why didn’t I run towards the village, along the road along which I came, but let me in? Did the bison learn tactics and encircle the child, cutting off the path to retreat?

2. Semi-official version: the boy is hiding

In favor of the version:

There were several witnesses who clearly testified: they saw the boy. Alive and healthy. Once he was seen by a mushroom picker literally right after the boy disappeared. Allegedly, he asked him why the boy was walking alone in the forest at such a time, to which the boy, without saying anything, rushed to run away. Then two more times the volunteers said that they saw a boy running in the distance. Each of us knows stories about how children, afraid of what they have done, do not go home. The boy could simply be afraid of punishment, seeing the scale of the search. Again, remember about the traces. Also, places were found in the forest where the boy, presumably, could spend the night. Maxim's friends recalled some secret dugout in the depths of the thicket. The boy may be there. As a subsection of this version, they put forward the theory that the boy could set off on a journey. Theoretically, even cross the border with Poland.

Against version:

After all, 10 days have passed. You can hide for a day, well, two or three, but not a week and a half. And who saw those witnesses who noticed him? Either fiction, or not discerned. Moreover, in one of the cases of "witness testimony" the boy ran across the road and slipped through the soldiers in chains. I know the opinion of the people about the army, but there are not total (and at the same time deaf-blind) idiots serving. Haven't you seen or heard? Unlikely. The child has absolutely nothing to eat and drink. He has nowhere (most likely) to sleep, and the nights are cold. All the buildings where the child could spend the night have been checked - he is not there. It is not very realistic to cross the border - it is guarded from both sides.

3. Criminal version: a crime has been committed

In favor of the version:

It's all pure speculation here. Why did the child throw the bicycle on the ground without even leaning it against the hut (according to fellow villagers and parents, he loved the bicycle very much). What kind of strange broken basket stands next to the hut, where, as if to divert eyes, they threw the first mushrooms with garbage? According to cynologists, the dog's trail is confidently traced by dogs to the track, where it evaporates in an unknown direction. If the child went on the track, then there is absolutely nothing to say that he was lost. Do you think there are a lot of paved roads in those parts and the boy did not know where he was? Nothing was found in the forest at all, that is, literally. None of the crumbs that were found can be exactly related to the boy. They say that in those parts, half of the population earns by poaching, and half by moonshine. The boy could just see something wrong. Or become a victim of chance: at dusk to be hit by a car or shot by mistake with a gun. God forbid, of course. Or be taken out all to the same Poland.

Against version:

The police have been on the scene since the beginning. I believe that all necessary criminological measures were taken at that time. I once saw a search for a missing person. They turn the house and buildings upside down, shake all the witnesses and neighbors, restore the path of the missing. Do not think that this time the police blundered. And any crime leaves traces. Explicit or implicit. Blood, signs of a struggle, pieces of clothing, some other evidence. Nothing was found this time.

4. Conspiracy version: something doesn't fit here

in favor of the version:

The inconsistencies start from the very beginning. When did the boy disappear? Someone says that he warned about mushrooms (older brother), someone says that they did not know anything about mushrooms (mother). Friends also differ in testimony: either the boy called them, but they refused, or they went together, but he went on. Yes, and the story of the mushrooms looks very strange. The boy allegedly went to pick mushrooms at the edge of the forest around 19.00 in the evening. For the sake of the experiment, gentlemen, go outside tonight at 19.00 pm and look at the level of illumination. Next: mushrooms on the edge. While the hut where the bicycle was found is either five hundred or eight hundred meters from the edge of the forest. That is, the child went at night looking into the forest for a kilometer away (this is a lot within the forest) in order to pick mushrooms by touch? Some of the witnesses say: the boy was shy, even stuttered, could be frightened of animals and rush into the thicket. Gentlemen, who is not shy: would you dare to go into the thicket at dusk a kilometer deep? I'll tell you right now - I couldn't. Scary. It is followed by very ambiguous versions. Allegedly, a local village madwoman approached the members of the search party and quietly muttered: “Look, look, you won’t find it anyway.” Someone talks about Maxim's friends who faint during their interrogation by the police and that one teenager's parents simply do not allow him to be interrogated, insisting that there is no criminal case. Allegedly, someone saw a teenager, one of the acquaintances of the missing boy, who was returning from the forest at night. What he could see there is unclear. There is even talk of some mysterious house that the volunteers tried to enter, but it was locked from the inside. When the door was broken down, no one was in the house. There are so many inconsistencies that the post threatens to turn into a sheet.

Against version:

It is possible that all this is nothing more than the imagination of our people. All of us from childhood are prone to inventions and fantasies. Moreover, nothing can be checked in the comments at all. People just copy-paste erroneous versions to more and more publics. I don't think it's all that confusing. And seemingly unrealistic versions are simply not covered enough in the press, often people are content with such forums and fragmentary tales of volunteers who visited the place. Stories about crazy houses locked from the inside (well, who in their right mind would break the door of a house where the curtain just swayed on the window?), nightly adventures of children seem even more unreal than the mysterious disappearance itself.

5. Military version: we have the same exercises

In favor of the version:

All this may be nothing more than an exercise in interaction civil society and various services. According to rumors, no one saw either the boy's parents or his brother. Journalists do not communicate with them, where they are really unclear. It is possible that there simply was no disappearance. Rumors of this kind were once confirmed in Russia. And by the way, remember that very girl from Mexico, who allegedly fell under a collapsed building and who was trying to get out of the rubble for days. As a result, the girl turned out to be a fiction created to distract the people from trouble. A completely wild version, also inspired by the exercises: the boy accidentally saw a reconnaissance group of fighters from some foreign state, which was returning after observing the exercises. No one is left alive during such meetings, and the bodies are carefully hidden. Moreover, near the border with Poland, through which the fighters could pass.

Against version:

I do not believe that the state would go for this. It's too much. It was possible to come up with some other way to gain search experience. Thermal imagers, helicopters, the army, equipment - all this is money. The fact that he was killed by enemy saboteurs is also unbelievable. It's all very incredible. The option that all this is invented to distract people from something important does not work either. Nothing important has happened in the country yet.

Perhaps this should end. I tried to process all the possible versions that I found in the open spaces of the bynet and state it in an accessible language. Hope I got something. The picture, of course, is incomplete, but gives a general idea.

And may he still be there.
