There's no mention of the exact location of this report:

"Just look for the holes in the snow and start digging."  The reporter
and crew found four fragments after "just a few minutes digging in the
snow".

Boris Vasiliev holds an approximately 3 x 4 cm meteorite:

  "I was walking along the road and saw a hole in the snow, just
   off the shoulder of the road - and there it was.

   People were scared when the meteorite flew above us.

   But now, everyone is excited and will be excited for probably
   a hundred years."

Other locals, who are also named, hold meteorites and say they will sell
some of them.

I guess the biggest fragments would generally be more to the west.  I
haven't seen a map of the strewn field.  I will keep an eye on:
