The overnight stop was used to meet with the ships of the Kara expedition, and in the morning we moved on. The strait was narrow: in wide places up to two kilometers, and in narrow places up to five hundred meters and a length of slightly less than one hundred kilometers.
Almost at the exit from it, on the left bank, masts and houses appeared with smoke from their chimneys, dogs and people at the weather booths. This was the same polar station called “Matochkin Shar”, the first weather radio station created on the island in Soviet time. Located beyond 73 degrees north latitude, it for a long time was the northernmost polar station in the world and held this championship until the observatory was launched in Tikhaya Bay on Franz Josef Land, which turned out to be beyond 80 degrees.

Among those who wintered at the Matochkin Shar station in the first year of its foundation (1923) was Irina Leonidovna. This woman was lucky to win the championship. Rusinova spent only one winter (1922-1923) on the mainland, and again found herself on Novaya Zemlya. And for the third time she wintered from September 1927 to August 1928, and her wintering place was again Malye Karmakuly.
The polar station "Matochkin Shar" first appeared on air in October 1923. Its discovery was dictated by the dire need to provide Kara expeditions with accurate data on the state of weather and ice. The station is located on the shore of the strait of the same name in the eastern part of the North Island, not far from the Kara Sea, which has long been called “a bag of ice.” And indeed it is. Worth blowing north wind like it accumulates in the sea great amount ice. He has nowhere to go: the west is closed by islands New Earth, to the east - the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago, and to the south - the mainland.
Despite this, at the beginning of the 20th century, transport routes to the great rivers of Siberia - the Ob and Yenisei - were persistently laid through the Kara Sea. When the Kara Sea is clogged with ice, the two main straits connecting it with the Barents Sea - Yugorsky Shar and Kara Gate - are usually closed. And then there remains hope for the third strait - Matochkin Shar.
Strait Matochkin Shar
The narrowest strait in Russia is located in the Northern Arctic Ocean, it separates the North and South islands of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. The strait at its narrowest point is 600 meters wide. Its name is Matochkin Ball. The word “shar” in the language of the Pomors simply means “sea strait,” and the name Matochkin (from the word “uterus”) was allegedly given to the strait because these places are very rich in game animals, especially birds.
A storm was raging in the White Sea. It took six days to get to the Matochkin Shar Strait. "Malygin" carefully walked along the narrow strait until at the foot of the mountains they saw a high cross erected by Fyodor Rozmyslov, who in the 18th century was the first to make detailed description Matochkin Shar Strait. Here, at the mouth of the Nochuev Stream, where in 1768-1769 Mr. Rozmyslov spent the winter with his ship, it was decided to build a polar station.
Station "Matochkin Shar" 1912
First of all, they unloaded the railway: 150 meters of narrow gauge railway. And although there was no steam locomotive, only a trolley, how it helped them out during the construction of the station!
In a month and a half, they built not only a house with 15 rooms, but also a radio station, two storerooms, a bathhouse, pavilions, two sixty-meter wooden radio masts, and a weather site.

The station had a full staff: a chief, a meteorologist, a botanist, a geologist, a magnetologist, a radio operator, a cook, a doctor and an electrician.

The entire way from the Matochkin Shar polar station to the exit to the Kara Sea (about 12 kilometers) Irina Leonidovna stood on the deck of the Sibiryakov.

This strait (also called Matshar) cuts through the mountainous region of the archipelago. Here the height of hanging glaciers reaches one kilometer.
From a military point of view, the strait is very interesting. The Kara Sea has always had a bad reputation among polar captains. Open in the north-eastern part, it is almost closed from the south-western part. As soon as the northeast winds blow, the Kara Sea immediately turns into an ice bag. The wind drove millions of tons of ice into it. And there is nowhere for this ice to escape. The path to the west is blocked by the “Russian Gibraltar”, and to the south by the mainland. And woe to the ships that get caught in this ice bag. Every experienced polar captain knows that it is easier and more convenient to get out of here through Matshar than, for example, through the Kara Gate. It was here, at the exit from the central Novaya Zemlya Strait, that they had to wait German submarines Soviet Arctic caravans.
During the First World War, the Admiral Headquarters of the Kaiserfleet did not plan in these waters for German submarines to hunt Russian ships or the transports of the Entente countries. In those days, it was assumed that the German crews would wait out bad weather here or wait for the arrival of the next convoy from the British Isles. It was for this purpose that a secret base was created in the strait. Whether it operated in 1917–1918, when the Russian North was included in the zone of unrestricted submarine warfare, has not yet been established. However, it is known that it was inspected and, most likely, reactivated by the crew of the cruiser Komet, which in the summer of 1940 successfully sailed along the Northern Sea Route to Pacific Ocean. After it “disappeared” from the sight of Soviet intelligence in the Pechora Sea, Hitler’s crew was engaged in hydrographic work and collecting driftwood off Kolguev Island - officially to reinforce the holds and sides (in case the ship’s hull was compressed by ice). In addition, they discovered large reserves of guano, an excellent nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer, on Kolguev Island. In those days, the crew of the cruiser carried out several “comic” landings and checked the steepness of the Kolguev slopes. The senior captain on board the Comet, Captain Zur See von Eyssen, during his uncontrolled voyage near Novaya Zemlya, managed to visit the nameless strait between Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land, as well as the western part of the Novaya Zemlya Strait, Matochkin Shar.
Regarding the role of the nameless strait, as was mentioned a little earlier, in Matshara the Nazis inspected the areas of the coast where the most accumulated driftwood, so necessary for the construction of future secret bases on the Arctic coast, including on the island of Mezhdusharsky, and checked the steepness of the shores of the Novaya Zemlya Strait. As a result of the reconnaissance, it was revealed a large number of driftwood of Siberian rocks, which were brought here annually by the current of the Kara Sea.
After receiving Soviet pilots on board, the Germans made their first attempt to enter the Western Arctic. But it turned out to be unsuccessful. The Komet managed to get through the ice only as far as Cape Golotechny, then it had to turn back.
But the main task of Eyssen's paratroopers was to reactivate the secret base of the Kaiser's fleet. This base was somewhat reminiscent of the base at the Polar Region.
This is how Colonel V., who visited there twice, described it already in the 1960s.
Under a powerful rocky canopy, protruding far above the strait, a log pier was built, secured to the rock with several metal cables for safety. A clearly visible path led to a small repair shop, where about two dozen spare MAC-type boat batteries with latex-separation housings were stored on a tarred wooden platform. At the foot of the site, in the water, a dozen more of the same batteries were visible. Next to the pier, in a special enclosure, there was a dynamo, which, most likely, once provided charging for submarine batteries. Apparently, it also powered the motors of a small workshop and two 6-liter compressors, and also provided lighting for the entire base. Our soldiers were convinced of the operability of the dynamo after some hesitation, fearing that turning it on could cause an explosion of the entire cave. However, there was no explosion, and the car hummed confidently. The dim “duty” light dispersed the twilight of the cave and revealed several more stone-lined enclosures. There was a 12-cylinder V-shaped diesel engine with 350–400 horsepower, similar to those that were common in German vehicles in the pre-war period. railways, and small warehouses with diesel fuel and food were also built.
At this Colonel V. always stopped his very interesting story. And only his son often remembered the unusual sweets in a capacious metal jar, which his father brought after one of his business trips. Even one such candy provided two or even three days of wakefulness for an adult who ate it.

Excerpt characterizing Matochkin Shar
“If they knew that you wanted this, the holiday would be cancelled,” said the prince, out of habit, like a wound-up clock, saying things that he did not want to be believed.- Ne me tourmentez pas. Eh bien, qu"a t on decide par rapport a la depeche de Novosiizoff? Vous savez tout. [Don’t torment me. Well, what did you decide on the occasion of Novosiltsov’s dispatch? You know everything.]
- How can I tell you? - said the prince in a cold, bored tone. - Qu "a t on decide? On a decide que Buonaparte a brule ses vaisseaux, et je crois que nous sommes en train de bruler les notres. [What did they decide? They decided that Bonaparte burned his ships; and we too, it seems, are ready to burn ours.] - Prince Vasily always spoke lazily, like an actor speaking the role of an old play. Anna Pavlovna Sherer, on the contrary, despite her forty years, was full of animation and impulses.
Being an enthusiast became her social position, and sometimes, when she didn’t even want to, she, in order not to deceive the expectations of people who knew her, became an enthusiast. The restrained smile that constantly played on Anna Pavlovna’s face, although it did not match her outdated features, expressed, like spoiled children, a constant awareness of her dear shortcoming, from which she does not want, cannot and does not find it necessary to correct herself.
