It s coordinates...and it fits the spot where the island is supposed to be:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
58.156000, 168.208000


google map shows an empty spot...just as they say it would!

Here's the link:

@PhaetonXL
Great!
Perhaps it's location of the island?


@MrToasty
Thanx Smile
I wrote to Emily about a book, since she is in Yale, and she also told me in Facebook, she studied about Yakovlev - perhaps she has borrowed the book by Natasha and even doesn't know, there are some Natashas messages inside Smile

Do we have a Mir wiki btw?

Doh! I can't believe I missed that. Great catch! Very Happy

So maybe the code at the bottom of "Worker for the People" is the password?

Edit: Be forewarned, the username and (presumably) the password are case sensitive.

Perhaps nothing, but the pictures set on Nat_Art flickr account is named "Art 909b"

I googled and the second result was also from Yale:

Yale University School of Art: Art909b
http://art.yale.edu/Art909b

It's just a lesson number. Perhaps has Natasha done these pictures for this lection?

But actual Lection theme has different topic.

Perhaps the whole thing is OOG and I'm overinterpretating it. Since Natasha - as far as I know - didn't study art.

A little news from Emily.

I wrote her about the book of Yakovlev.
So she answered me now:

Emily wrote:
Thanks for the good information - I can't believe she hid the code for that book in her artwork! I have a copy of it, but will check the library as well to see if there is anything more to that. I'm sure Natasha had a copy as well, but I have no idea how I would get a hold of it. I'll do some searching this week. Thank you.


I suppose, perhaps there will be a password in the book.

OK, people, let's collect our password trying. Please quote the password list to have the full list. (And can somebody please begin with wiki, since I registered it on http://mir-12.wikia.com/wiki/Mir-12 but have not really time to write there till now...)

Well, here comes the list I tried, all these passwords don't seem to work (I don't know, whether it's case-sensitive):

Quote:
katorga12
katorga-12
BELKA
Belka
belka
Norvikov
norvikov
Vladimir
vladimir
Einsteinium
7429-92-7
7429927 (CAS-Nr of Einsteineum)
Madoff (lector of the art lection in Yale: http://art.yale.edu/Art909b)


What else? What have you tried?

UPDATE, there is a new comment on the mir-12.com
Was it somebody of us? Smile

Quote:
MIR comrades:

I recently found information regarding this 'mystery island' you requested help identifying on 12.01.08.
From what I found, the island is designated 'Katorga-12′ (hence the 'K-12′ stamp on Nikolai Demichev's file that was uncovered on 01.30.09)
Sources identify 'Katorga' as being a system of penal servitude used by Imperial Russia. There were several of these remote camps set up in vast uninhabited areas of Siberia.
It is possible that K-12 could be one of them?
My answer: That, and more.
My source confirms that K-12 was indeed a remote camp set up on this uninhabited island. It was designated a 'secret' military facility, however the range of (controlled) population varied from natural habitats, to small villages, to industrial buildings, and even science research facilities.
I am not sure what type of 'research' was being conducted here, but apparently, Russia involved citizens in their projects (ie. the 'small villages').
Therefore, there must be someone out there who has information.

The question is, who are they? where are they? and what does this all mean??

Although this is not much information, it is a start. I hope I have helped in one way or another.

UPDATE2. Does somebody have any clue about
Code:
000110 000111010 HX311.5 111000 00100 111010001 1100010010100 110 10110 100101 11101

? (Besides of HX311.5, which we have identified as a book signature)

UPDATE3. Perhaps we have also think about Ivan Panin, who was citated at the facebook of Natasha:

interesting note: .. .--. which is the first series in the original order is IP.
Still working on possible combos.
