On August 30, deep submergence vessels MIR-1 and MIR-2 perform their last submersions in Lake Baikal as a part of “Mirs in Baikal” International Comprehensive Research Expedition.
 Submersions take place in the shore slope area of Krugobaikalsk railway where parts of a railway car and Civil War cartridge cases were found by the expedition in 2009. Last season, the coming of autumn brought storms, heavy thunderstorms, and high waves preventing further operations in this area. “The door and the window can be seen, and when you go up you’ll see parts of something which might be the roof or side boards”, said Evgeny Chernyaev, the pilot of deep submergence vessel MIR-2, in 2009. Researchers admit that the railway car may contain Kolchak’s gold. It might be this very area of the Baikal where the railway car that transferred the gold of the White Army fell down.
  Buddhist priest from Buryatiya and representative of the management team of the Fund for the Protection of Lake Baikal also participate in the submersions. This will be the end to the practical research program of the expedition. After that, MIRs will be transferred to Irkutsk for the following transportation to Kaliningrad.
