Greetings, my reader! The historical story "Greetings from Halmer-U" is written based on real events. In this book we will travel back to the days of my army youth in 1995. Let's go to serve at the Naval training ground in the distant polar village of Halmer-Yu. Now it is an abandoned, lifeless place. A “ghost” town in the tundra a little north of Vorkuta. And once it was a thriving mining village. You will learn the history of the village of Khalmer-Yu, about the last days of the village’s life and the everyday life of military sailors in the tundra. I will tell you how and why the village was liquidated in 1995. How people left their homes and left. And those who did not want to leave were evicted by riot police and forced into wagons. I witnessed all these events. The last people to leave this place in November 1995 were us, the sailors. What else is this book about? About the people I met there. About the inhabitants of the Arctic. About their kindness and incredibly broad soul.
