Additional description
At the beginning of 2017, we assumed that the mill probably no longer exists; we had only two photographs from 2013: here and here. Judging by them, the mill architecture is the same as of Belarusian smocks, the mill in Kazilovka and Arkaim.
However, when people returned to the mill in October 2017, what they saw was a completely ruined mill here. Wooden buildings do not last long like this. What a pity!
One more good report is here.
Report here claims that the windmill was demolished. It is possible that the windmill was collapsed, however in exact this report this information is incorrect.
