Министерством обороны Российской Федерации и Русским географическим обществом была сформирована специальная экспедиция для обследования острова средней части Курильской гряды – Матуа, который в годы Второй мировой войны был превращен японцами в крепость. Были основания предполагать, что остров мог использоваться японской военщиной для разработки, производства и хранения оружия массового поражения. Поэтому в состав экспедиции была включена группа РХБ-контроля, сформированная из специалистов научно-исследовательских организаций войск РХБ защиты ВС РФ. Группа решала следующие задачи: выявление и оценка РХБ обстановки на острове Матуа; обеспечение защиты личного состава и ликвидация возможного РХБ заражения местности и военных объектов японцев на острове; оценка эксплуатационных характеристик приборов РХ разведки и проведение биологического анализа в условиях северных широт вне стационарных лабораторий. Работы на острове проводились с 20 апреля по 29 июня 2016 г. Проведенные исследования инженерных и фортификационных сооружений острова Матуа, а также анализ результатов вскрытия и исследования найденных емкостей с химикатами показал, что в период пребывания японской армии (до августа 1945 г.) производства и хранения химического, биологического и ядерного оружия на острове не было. Анализ проб почвы и воды, взятых в местах проведения инженерных и поисковых работ, биологических проб органов от мышевидных грызунов, отловленных в районе дислокации лагеря экспедиции, не выявил наличие возбудителей опасных и особо опасных инфекционных заболеваний. Поверхностное радиоактивное загрязнение и гамма-излучение на территории острова в норме.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In May 2016 a special expedition by Russia’s Defence Ministry and Russian Geographical Society was organized in order to explore the island of Matua located near the centre of the Kuril Islands chain. By the beginning of World War II the island has been turned into the veritable fortress by the Japanese. There were certain reasons to suggest that the island could be used by the Japanese military for the development, production and stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction. Because of that an NBC control group, formed from the specialists of several scientific research institutions of the Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defence Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was included in the joint team. The tasks of the group were to reveal and evaluate the NBC environment on Matua Island, to provide the protection of the personnel and the mitigation of any possible NBC contamination of the terrain and the Japanese military installations on the island. The group was also supposed to check the operational characteristics of NBC reconnaissance equipment and to conduct biological analysis at high northern latitudes without any fixed-site laboratories. The expedition has been working on the island from April 20 until June 29, 2016. The survey of the fortifications and engineering constructions on Matua Island, as well as the analysis of the contents of several chemical tanks and bottles, found on the island, revealed the absence of any evidence of the production of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons on Matua at the time of the Japanese military presence until August 1945. The analysis of the environmental samples (soil and water), taken at the locations of the surveys, and of the biological samples, taken from the organs of several mouse-like rodents, caught near the expedition camp, did not reveal any causative agents of infectious and particularly dangerous diseases. The radioactive contamination, residual radiation and gamma-rays were not detected on the territory of the island.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>биологическое оружие</kwd><kwd>бруцеллез</kwd><kwd>иприт</kwd><kwd>Курильские острова</kwd><kwd>мелиоидоз</kwd><kwd>остров Матуа</kwd><kwd>радиационный фон</kwd><kwd>РХБ контроль</kwd><kwd>сап</kwd><kwd>сибирская язва</kwd><kwd>фосген</kwd><kwd>химическое оружие</kwd><kwd>чума</kwd><kwd>ядерное оружие</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>biological weapons</kwd><kwd>brucellosis</kwd><kwd>yperite</kwd><kwd>the Kuril Islands</kwd><kwd>melioidosis</kwd><kwd>Matua Island</kwd><kwd>radiation background</kwd><kwd>NBC control</kwd><kwd>glanders</kwd><kwd>anthrax</kwd><kwd>phosgene</kwd><kwd>chemical weapons</kwd><kwd>plague</kwd><kwd>nuclear weapons</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Авторы выражают свою признательность Вячеславу Сергеевичу Кулишу — заместителю начальника отдела 48 ЦНИИ МО РФ, Сергею Олеговичу Румянцеву — научному сотруднику отдела 33 ЦНИИИ МО РФ за совместную работу в экспедиции Министерства обороны Российской Федерации и Русского географического общества на острова средней части Курильской гряды.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The authors express their gratitude to Vyacheslav Sergeevich Kulish, deputy chief of the department of «48 Central Scientific Research Institute» of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, and to Sergei Olegovich Rumyantsev, researcher of the department of «33 Central Scientific Research Test Institute» of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation for the joint work in the expedition of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation and the Russian Geographical Society to the islands of the middle part of the Kuril Ridge.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Победный финал.
