  The paper discusses an approach that made it possible to estimate the
distance to the nearest pevatrons, which form a knee in the spectrum of the
cosmic ray nucleon component of about $4$ PeV. It is based on the spectra of
nucleons and electrons obtained by the authors in the framework of the
superdiffusion model of nonclassical cosmic rays diffusion, which have a knee,
on the assumption that nucleons and electrons are accelerated by the same type
sources and their propagation in an inhomogeneous turbulent galactic medium is
characterized by the same diffusion coefficient, and also on the knee in the
spectrum of the electronic component in the region of $0.9$ TeV, established in
the DAMPE experiment.
  It is shown that pevatrons, which form a knee in the spectrum of the cosmic
ray nucleon component of about $4$ PeV, are located at distances of the order
of $0.75$ kpc from the Earth.
