...well we are looking for a password on a russian website...and everyone else that we know that has those logins is russian.... Rolling Eyes

personally i think the username/password belongs to Natasha's father (Vladimir Norvikov). You have to remember, she had the username in her art work.

====

Here are the employee numbers (and who they belong to) that we know so far.

12-X27739 - works at www.RNCSA.ru, needs p/w

12-X37279 - owns the Picasa web album that contained pictures of Demichev and Barisov

12-X52462 - Viktor Barisov

12-X55763 - Nikolai Demichev

Can somebody tell me, what does "HX311.5" to do with the Russian and Soviet theme?

I mean, not only the Yale book USSR (written by Yakovlev) has its signature.
http://isbndb.com/d/book/a_century_of_violence_in_soviet_russia.html

Also I found in Thailand's library following book with the same signature:
Documents and materials : 28th congress of the communist party of the Soviet Union
http://library.bu.ac.th/onlineservice/ResultTitle.cfm?aTextSearch=2001057984&aSearchBy=B&aIsAdvance=Yes

in http://www.library.umaine.edu
same signature
Book: Revolution and the people in Russia and China : a comparative history / S.A. Smith.
http://www.library.umaine.edu/subjectPortal/acquisitions.aspx?subject=Sociology&displayMonth=8

in openlibrary.org
Same signature
Book: The rise and fall of Communism in Russia / Robert V. Daniels
http://openlibrary.org/b/OL17217213M

Anybody librarian here? Does HX311.5 mean Soviet theme classification?

w00t! Smile
I like it!

UPDATE. OK, I've got it.

After LC Classification
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Congress_Classification
is HX for Subclass HX Socialism. Communism. Anarchism


That's why the books were mostly about USSR (now without "bad soviet guys"-clichees here, people Smile)

my assumption is that the password has to do with the binary code which i believe will show us something with the book we need. its possible but unlikely that it could be an isbn (i never thought it would be this useful to have a librarian for a mother) or other form of identification but that would require a 10 or 13 digit code and for the life of me i cant get it to fit. ive tried about every other book identifier for all the countries involved and cant get it. the format of the binary is interesting to with 6 58 coming before hx311.5 though im stuck on that as well. heres the code translated in order which is really the only useful thing i have to say at the moment:
6 58 hx311.5 28 4 465 6292 6 22 37 29

one other small bit of speculation, after reading about natasha's home town Petropavlovsk Kamchatski i learned that it is surrounded by volcanoes. i believe that in the background of the picture young demichev we can see volcanoes and that it is a picture outside of Petropavlovsk Kamchatski. like i said pure speculation but if true it does give a solid link to natashas father and demichev.

New twitter by Mir-12:

Quote:
I think I'm being followed. This (Russian?) guy appears everywhere I go. I have no clue what to do. I'm freaking out.


He also posted new text, I will translate it.
http://www.mir-12.com/?p=239

(The file is "coroner-report")

UPDATE.

OK, here comes the translation. It's really creepy and disturbing text. Don't read it before a meal. And also after it. Anyway, here is it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Name: Viktor Federov
File Nr. 090756-34
Death description: 26 years old man haven't had any illnesses before the death incident.

5th Nov. 1950, appr. at 11:00 am the victim was affected by Element 99, which was contained in air. After witness reports immediately after inhalating it, he began to writhe. He fell down. His body was about to overswell and to shrink. After word of an eyewitness, it looked like "his body was about to explode".

The first superficial analyse detected damages and swellings, which matched to the witness descriptions. The skin of a victim was covered with deep ecchymoma, which weren't corresponded with state of rigor mortis. It was a prove that the victim had intense muscle activity at the time of the death. Also, all the body was covered with furuncle. The furuncles contained purulence with blood and had a smell of rotten eggs.

After autopsy of chest only two inner organs were found: lungs and heart. While only these two organs were intact, all another organs became jelly alike body-coloured consistance. The size of the victims heart was similiar to a heart size of a 6 years old child, but his lungs corresponded to a lungs of a man, who were 4 times older than he. This phenomen was a vindication of sudden aging and regression of various parts of organism.

Before this incident Mr Federov was employed as cameraman, he recorded the experiments with Element 99. While of realization of an experiment, a not properly perpared specimen incidentally fell down and was broken. Hereupon the leakage of the Element 99 to air was happened.

The victim wasn't properly rigged with protecting equipment, so he had no chances to survive. His death is classified as an accident.

----------------

Me, Sergei Tarasov, Doctor of Medical Science, incumber autopsist in Russian Governmental Laboratory of Katorga-12, today, on Nov. 12th, 1950, confirm the registration of all these facts after their proper analysis. I also prove their relevance and accurateness.


Autorized by Tarasov


I warned you, don't blame me.

Thanx Smile

Great news from Emily. She wrote me in Facebook.

Quote:
Hi, I do have a twitter account, but admittedly, it was only created to follow MIR-12's twitter. I'm so bad about using it! I just got back from New York, and am going to try and track down Natasha's copy of Yakovlev's book today. Is there anything in particular that I am looking for if I do find it?


Any ideas?

Ah, and Emilys twitter is this one: http://twitter.com/Emily_Dawson

Interesting video.

[META]Barisovs's actor is good, he is Russian and speaks without accent. Rare. But the Russian descriptions are partly wrong[/META]

OK, we have new name Kruchevsky. And we know, that with 500 kilowatt E-99 reacts very... ehm... nasty.

well emily is back from new york and looking for a book, most likely a century of violence in soviet russia. now we just need to figure out what she needs to look for in the book and try to avoid being exposed to e-99 while were at it. i dont know about the rest of you but i prefer my body non bloated and my heart working better than a six year olds.

also need a little clarification, i watched the video on my phone so it wasnt the clearest, does borisov say get in there and find him? it looks to me like he simply vanished.
