Oh that's interesting! I never thought of that one. Maybe Vladimir Norvikov is a predecessor of Natasha's instead, has something to do with the project. Natasha did seem to personally know the guy she was trying to shoot.

definitely, although i cant find anything else of importance as of now. Other than Natasha is from Petropavlovsk Kamchatski, Russia and likes to read The Brothers Karamazov.

Nope. The Tsarist and later the Soviet prison system meant transferring people from russia far away into siberia. Therefore it is much more likely that relatives from moscow or volgograd were sent there than people living nearby.


Yes, obviously he IMPRISONED them originally from a place such as moscow, petersburg, etc etc, but I mean more like, the relatives lived there for most of their lives/all their lives, so they had children in the area. Very likely, no? Especially under tsarist rule, they'd be down their for the rest of their lives after imprisonment.

Yes, perhaps the island is such a imprisonment place?.. (Even if Katorga is an anachronism)

 		Perhaps nothing, but Mir-12 contacted me at twitter.

Well, firstly I contacted him. Anyway, here is our dialogue:

me wrote:
Do you need some help with Russian?


Mir-12 wrote:
Of course, we're always looking for help. Do you speak fluent Russian?


me wrote:
Well, I can write and read Russian... I'm a little bit paranoid for meetings or phones, but I can always help with translation!


I just don't want to get a call in midnight from a rebellious anti-ussr group Smile I'm really to paranoid for live actions.

And here is my contact with Emily:

me wrote:
Dear Emily,

I heard you are friend of Natasha Novrikov. I'm very sad about her destiny...

Best regards



Emily Dawson wrote:
Thanks Alex, I am too. She was a great friend, and I am so confused by all of this. I just want answers at this point, and frankly, I fear for my own safety.

Everything's intolerable.


me wrote:
Take care there, dear Emily.

If you need some help, just drop a message!
Me and my friends are trying to find out, what has happen. Even if we don't know Natasha personally, we have a feeling, something was going wrong... So if you have some details or perhaps strange notices, feel free to share it with me...

We'll support you!
Alex

 		OK, now we have Katya (Natashas sister) and Vladimir Norvikov. The puzzle tiles get to one picture...

I suppose we have to research about these two.

Weird thing.
Emily answered me on my question whether she knows about mir-12. Her answer was ordinary:

Emily wrote:
Don't worry about bothering me. I'm needing answers to all of this just like you. I hadn't heard of MIR-12 until this week, but it sounds like their leader knew Natasha well. If she trusted them, then I have no choice but to do the same. I just don't understand why she didn't tell me about this. She was so anxious about her trip, but I figured it was because of her sister.

Please let me know if you find anything that might help.

Everything's intolerable.


But the last line she use always in her correspondence:

Quote:
Everything's intolerable.


After googling I found it was a citation of Alexander Yakovlev:

Quote:
"We were in an open field waiting for the arrival of an official, ... We discussed everything, we interrupted each other and said, 'That thing must be changed and that one's intolerable ... everything's intolerable.'"


Any ideas whether it's related? On google there are mostly citation of Yakovlev...

Natasha, the dead one, went to Yale and studied art and poli sci. Katya, the older sis, is the chemist.

 		I talked to Emily on Facebook, and got pretty much the same replies, including the mention of Katya. I searched around for a Katya Norvikov, and didn't find anything....has anyone else? Btw, I'm new to this site, and ARGs in general really, so don't mind me if I repeat useless info or whatever.

No problems, you're welcome Smile
I also talked to Emily, she seems to be really communicative.
I hope, she knows something more about Natasha, but after all I've got a feeling, nobody knows really what Natasha did, even her friends in Yale.
