Geocache Description:

A little known fact to most geocachers is that I have several identities.

One of them is that of secret agent Connor O’Connor. In that capacity I got some disturbing news from my contact in Moscow. One of my Field agents, сергиева лавра, has gone underground and disappeared without a trace. I am positive he has unearthed some valuable information and that he does not want to be found by the local FSB.

My contact informed me that a thorough search of his flat yielded some bits of information that may aid in discovering his location.

There were actually four bits of information found:

1) A note on the fridge reading нити.ящик.пинок




2) A photo of some large underground room with the numbers 16-73-22-8-7-102




3) A cassette tape which seems to contain a sound code:
*-- --- *-* / ---* ** *** / *-* ** ***- / *-- -** -* // *** *--* --- / -*- **- *-* ***** / *-- --- *-* // -*- --- *-** / --- **** --- // ---* ** *** / --- **** --- // *-- -** -* / --- -*- - *****

4) A passe partout with some scribbling on the back:
9,0-->5,0 (3,3)
-->5,1-->2,6 (3,2)
-->2,2 (5,1)

-->2,1-->3,0 (1,2)
-->3,1-->9,9 (1,1)
-->9,7 (1,1)

-->9,2-->3,5 (1,3)
-->3,2 (1,1)

-->3,1-->10,3 (1,1)
-->10,1-->7,7 (5,2)

-->7,3-->2,11 (4,2)
-->2,14 (2,2)

What could these 3 words mean?
What codes are being used here? Do I need to book a trip to Russia?
Will this lead me to find my Russian friend?
Can you help me?
