The X-Files was inspired by shows like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Tales from the Darkside and especially Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

Being heavily influenced by Kolchak, Carter wanted to create a scary television show, as he thought there was not anything scary on television at the time.

In 1920, Aleksandr Kolchak, the once-feared commander of the largest contingent of anti-Bolshevik forces, was executed in Irkutsk, which effectively destroyed the anti-Bolshevik resistance.

The Aleksandr Kolchak monument, designed by Vyacheslav Klykov, was unveiled in 2004.

During the Crimean War of 1853 – 1856, one of seven surviving defenders of a stone tower on the Malakov Kurgan, which were found by French troops among the dead, was seriously wounded Vasily Kolchak – the father of the future Supreme ruler ( head of all the counter-revolutionary anti-communist White forces during the Russian Civil War ) of Russia Aleksandr Vasiliyevich Kolchak.

Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak (, – 7 February 1920 ) was a Russian naval commander, polar explorer and later-the Supreme ruler of the counter-revolutionary anti-communist White forces during the Russian Civil War.

Kolchak was educated for a naval career, graduating from the Naval Cadet Corps in 1894 and joining the 7th Naval Battalion of the city.

Kolchak took part in two Arctic expeditions and for a while was nicknamed " Kolchak-Poliarnyi " (" Kolchak the Polar ").

In December 1903, Kolchak was on his way back to St. Petersburg, there to marry his fiancee Sophia Omirova.

Returning to Saint Petersburg in April 1905, Kolchak was promoted to lieutenant commander.

Admiral Essen was not satisfied to remain only on the defensive and ordered Kolchak to prepare a scheme for attacking the approaches of the German naval bases.

Kolchak, being of the opinion that the person responsible for planning operations should take part in their execution, was always on board those ships which carried out the operations and sometimes took direct command of the destroyer flotillas.

Kolchak was removed from command of the fleet in June and travelled to Petrograd.

On his arrival at Petrograd, Kolchak was invited to a meeting of the Provisional Government.

When the news was received by the then Naval Minister of the Provisional Government, Alexander Kerensky, he ordered Kolchak to leave immediately for America ( Admiral James H. Glennon, member of American mission, headed by Senator Elihu Root invited Kolchak to go to America in order to give the American Navy Department information on Bosphorus ).

Kolchak was a supporter of the Provisional Government and returned to Russia, through Vladivostok, in 1918.

Kolchak was an absolute supporter of the Allied cause against Imperial Germany and regarded Russia's immediate withdrawal from the conflict as dishonorable.

Kolchak was unfamiliar with combat on land and gave the majority of the strategic planning to D. A.

They withdrew from the conflict in October 1918 but remained a presence ; their foreign adviser Maurice Janin regarded Kolchak as an instrument of the British and was pro-SR. Kolchak could not count on Japanese aid either ; the Japanese feared he would interfere with their occupation of Far Eastern Russia and refused him assistance, creating a buffer state to the east of Lake Baikal under Cossack control.

Monuments dedicated to Kolchak were built in Saint Petersburg in 2002 and in Irkutsk in 2004, despite objections from some former Communist and left-wing politicians and former Soviet army veterans.

After 1976, the show also featured back-to-back reruns of different one-hour television series, some popular ( Barnaby Jones, Kojak ), some lesser known ( Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Black Sheep Squadron, Dan August ), and some originally made for British television ( The Avengers and The New Avengers, Return of the Saint, The Prisoner ).
