I think you missed something. Hang on - I'll be back.

edit:

Because your actions in the Mines should have given you the PDA message 'not to proceed' from Petrenko, the Talk with the scientist mission can not be spawned by Sidorovich.

So if it isn't being spawned by Voronin (to relink the Duty fork with the Main Mission Strategy), then it could be one of the many "v1.4005 snafus"...

Have you tried any of the various exploits in MMS^^?

Another thought: there are THREE entrances to Rostok Factory(Lost Alpha)... you get there from Garbage, Agroprom and .. Cordon...

Have you tried strolling past the Military Checkpoint?

I've even taken a UAZ Jeep to RF that way, but THAT is seriously difficult (and doesn't appear in the wiki because it's so hard)
