26 January - 59 years to the day
On January 26 1959 Dyatlov group travels on the back of the truck in poor condition from Vizhay (13:10) to 41st wood site (16:30).
This is possibly the ride that makes Yudin sick.
Vizhay, wake up 9:00, the dining room, Zina Kolmogorova sends the letter home, Igor Dyatlov sends home a postcard.
At 13:10 the group leaves Vizhay in truck Gaz-63 with no brakes and shock absorbers.
They ride in the open back of the truck, covered by a tent.
The hikers were exposed on this trip and Yudin fell ill.
At 16:30 they arrive in the village 41st forest area.
In the evening they see movies "On his own", "Est takoy paren" and "Symphonie in Gold" (again).

Dyatlov Group diary

 

 

January 26
We slept in so-called hotel.
Two people per bed. Sasha K. (Alexander Kolevatov) and Krivo (Yuri Krivonischenko) slept on the floor between beds.
Woke up at 9 am.
Everyone sleep well despite the fact we did not completely close the small window and room got a bit cold.
Outside temperature is -17 C.
We did not boil water in the morning, wood was damp.
In the evening it took us 6 hours to boil the water.
Had breakfast in the dining room, goulash and tea.
When they handed us the lukewarm tea, Gosya (Igor) Dyatlov said with a smile: "If the tea is cold, then go out and drink it on the street, it will be hot."
Original thought.
We negotiated to go to Settlement 41 by a truck.
We started at 13.10, and arrived at 16.30.
We froze pretty good at the back of GAZ-63.
While traveling we sang songs, discussed various topics like love, friendship, cancer illness and cures.
In Settlement 41 we were greeted warmly, they gave us a separate room in the hostel.
We talked a lot with the local workers.
I remembered particularly the red- bearded man.
The Beard, that's what his friends call him.
Ognev is an old friend, he is described in Lyuda Dubinina's private diary.
Lunch was served, we ate and now we are resting.
Some of the group is watching a movie in the adjacent room.
The rest of the group is rummaging through their backpacks.
Rustik (Rustem Slobodin) is playing his mandolin, while talking with Kolya (Nick Thibault).
I am going to do some adjustment to the equipment.
Krivonischenko
1.26.59 I can't, although I tried.

They were handed lukewarm tea, and after somebody complained Igor Dyatlov said with a smile: "If the tea is cold, then go out and drink it on the street, it will be hot."

Hello everyone.
Today, 26, we leave on the route, we arrived well.
On February 12-15 I will visit Sverdlovsk.
I probably will not go home, so let Rufa bring linen to our room for a trip to Penza.
From there I will return on March 5-7.
Greetings Igor

Zina Kolmogorova diary

 

26.1.59 We slept in beds.
We got up late, very late.
Rustik and I are on duty.
We went into the dining room.
And then we waited for the car and drove off.
Today the road is not so beautiful, there is less snow.
We are driving off road now.
Drove for a long time.
I, as always, was approached by some countryman.
We arrived at the 41st settlement.
Workers are simply working here, not prisoners, but recruits.
There are many smart ones.
We were accomodated in the small room of the driver.
Today is the last day of civilization.
Rustic plays the mandolin very well, I really enjoy listening to him.
Today I wore Yuri's mittens, but how I did not want to!
I was told that is not good not to accept them, so I took them.
We talk.
Not much.

Alexander Kolevatov, photo must be taken around 12-13:00 beofre Dyatlov group climbed on the back of the Gaz-63

Ludmila Dubinina diary

 

26 january In the morning Sashka jumped up from the cold and said that he had a cold night.
Zina and I slept perfectly.
Went to the dining room then began to gather.
We go by car.Tried to sing, talked about abstract topics and in general nobody was warm.
The surroundings were uninteresting at the beginning, a scorched forest.
In general, we had to go to 2nd North, but it was getting dark and we decided to stop at the 41st.
At 4.30 we were met very hospitably.
They stayed in the barrack, where the guys live.
In general, here are all civilians, there are no women at all, except two.
The guys are all young, as Igor noticed, there are even cute and generally interesting.
Especially memorable among all is Ognev with a red beard and the nickname of his "Beard".
In general, very rarely there are such people in such a hole. A true romantic, a geologist and generally developed.
Many of the guys play the guitar.
We watched three movies right away: "On his own", "Est takoy paren" and "Sympnonie in gold" again.
And again this music Co First in (illegible word) were divided into two groups one watched the movies, the other wrote diaries, and Rustik and Kolya reasoned a little about everything, about work, etc.
I like these guys.
A big difference between them, graduated from the institute Rustik, Ko, Yura and us.
All the same, their judgments are more mature and smarter than ours.
My God, I do not even talk about mine After the cinema, everyone was very tired and wanted to sleep.
We lay down with Zina on a spring bed.
It's a dream come true.
And the guys are all on the floor.
Mood is bad and probably will be for two more days.
Evil as hell.

Dyatlov group is in the back of of Gaz-63. Weather is cold and windy. They will try to protect themselves with a tent, but Yudin will still get sick.
39915654221_935a1ab884_o.jpg
Krivonishenko told the guys that he is about to make the last photo before he climbs into the truck so each of the guys reacted their own way. Dyatlov and Thibeaux-Brignolles leaned forward and and showed Yuri the fig sign. Apparently Zina Kolmogorova moved off the backpack on which she sat, her location was significantly lower than the previous shot. Yuri Yudin painted a grimace on his face and looks at Zina Kolmogorov. It may seem that he is making a grimace to Zina intending to scare her, but in fact, with his left hand he grabbed Zina Kolmogorova's back and tries to keep her from falling on her back. Igor, Nikolai, Zina and Lyuda are looking at Yuri, Zolotaryov waves his right hand, Alexander is not visible behind Zolotaryov's back. Doroshenko and Slobodin, without reacting to Yuri's signal, remained in their seats without visible reaction.

Yuri Yudin diary

 

26.1.59
We arrived by truck with no brakes, broken shock absorbers , etc., (only in the taiga you can ride on any car.) in the village 41 quarter.
Ognev, Nick? since 1931. - long beard.
He knows the whole of the Northern Urals.
I was a participant of many geological expeditions.
Quite knowledgeable on many issues.
He graduated from the Ufimskiy Technical College.
In the truck (that) city we came, we brought 3 movies: "On his own" by Gorki, "Est takoy paren" and "Sympnonie in gold" "In people" by Gorky ,? "Is there such a guy"? and the "Golden Symphony".
"In people" - under the usual circumstances, in the city, I would have never gone to see this movie.
It seems nothing of interest in it for me, waste of time.
Here - you start watching ... and from the very first frames you feel that the movie is new for you, you see it with different eyes than before and many new thoughts are rushing one after another under the impression of what's on the screen.
Grandma plays excellently. Above all, full penetration into the role.
Wealth, depth, importance of thoughts, content, and all this follows by itself, without any imposition ... himself as in a life without words and simple ??? a person and there is another recently released picture.
Paren (est takoy paren - there is such a guy) - the characters here, the artists portraying, are represented only by what they say at the moment and is not clear where and how did they originated, what they say and what they do.
It seems like they (the characters) are created to say only these particular words, and there is nothing else for them to say, and to do.
Roles like that are not clear, maybe I find the screenplay weak and superficial, bad stage director, bad artists and in short - it seems there are not living people on the screen full of thoughts, capable of creating stories themselves, but some automatic machines tuned to a spec. program, and that's why there is no performance in the whole movie.
They could have said in advance what the movie is about, and how will it end.
The whole movie in 5 mins. "Symphonie in gold" - austr.
About ballet on ice.
The ballet itself is a good show.
Good skating rinks, skill, technical performance, but feelings, thoughts in dances - none.
Maybe since music to me is only an income.
It seems to me that way?
The light music in places is excellent, it can't be better, but in general I couldn't feel the Person, his soul.
Maybe that's why everybody that saw the movie was saying: "It feels so good, nothing is missing, they say "like life itself"
We are warmly welcomed here.
they ride all kind of They gave us the only horse available here to take our backpacks tomorrow to 2nd Northern for free wood site about 200 150 km? from such a northern town as Ivdel.
There is no radio, no newspapers.
(They still can't check the lottery and I promised to send back the newspaper immediately from Sverdlovsk).
They live in a dormitory.
No order whatsoever, but people are everywhere.
Read everything that they can get their hands on and do they sing ...
Quietly, from the heart.
The songs are old, long forgotten or never heard.
Here they are ...
It's so good!
Why don't we sing such good, already forgotten songs.
And in general, we don't sing about the soul in places where there are some outsiders, it's not singing, not soulful, loud.
We must fight for the culture of choral singing.
Voices and change the repertoire.
So that there were no empty screaming song-trinkets.
Loggers are working poorly, work and life conditions are bad.
Are they paying poorly?
Strike.
Everything is possible, but there is no good intelligent leadership.
Master - once he studied and did not finish the Moscow Forestry Institute.
The workers are very different.
Recruits after the army, after serving time (to earn some money and stayed, or for free). Many don't last, - they quit They work The majority has primary school or no education at all.
But there are widely erudite and even If you meet them in the city, you would never have thought that this person all his time in the taiga.
Uncle Slava.
Funny, somehow people do not think how this or that name will sound after uncle or grandpa *...
What a funny grandpa!
Until 1953, they threw in jail everybody that they could catch, innocent, then they figured it out and cleaned up, everybody was given rushed amnesty
*I think Yudin is referring to the fact Slava in Russian means Glory.

27 January - 59 years to the day

 

The river Lozva, the weather is gloomy, but there is no snow and no wind.
The group still consists of 10 tourist.
Almost everybody is in the photo, but Kolevatov who we can see in the previous photo is to the left of the frame, and the photographer Semyon Zolotaryov.
From the left is Doroshenko, Zina and Lyuda, in the center is the horse with pulling the sleigh topped with backpacks.
The horse is led by uncle Slava, he stands and looks at someone behind the sleigh.
Behind the sleigh follow Yura Yudin, Igor Dyatlov, Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles and Rustem Slobodin.
In the distance behind is Krivonischenko, who is making sketches.
On January 27 1959 Dyatlov group was leaving 41st district and Ognev "The Beard", the hospitality, the warm bread, wrote Mansi words in their notebooks, and at 4 pm uncle Slava and his horse sled took the backpacks while the hikers were following on skis along Lozva river, pass Ushma river and to the 2nd Northern.
The head of the site Ryazhnev promised to help the tourists to reach the abandoned geological site 2nd Northern by finding means of transportation.
Hikers mounted backpacks on the sled with a horse, got on skis and reached 2nd Northern which consisted from 24 houses only one of which was suitable to spend the night.
The sled belonged to uncle Slava, convicted in Lithuania in 1949 for 10 years and released to the settlement in 1956.
In 41st district Yudin's condition worsened.
He had inflamed back nerve, sciatica.
To continue an expedition from third category of complexity was impossible without becaming a burden, so Yudin decided to return.
They discussed the matter and decided that Yudin will go to 2nd Northern and there will make the final decision.
If his pain subsides, he can continue with the group, if his condition worsens, he will take the drilling samples from 2nd Northern and return to Sverdlovsk.

Zina Kolmogorova diary

 

27. Today is the first day of our journey.
The backpack is not much but somewhat heavy.
Yes, Yura Yudin is leaving us today.
His sciatic nerves inflamed again and he is leaving.
Such a pity.
We distributed his load in our backpacks.
It turns out that on the last day we see some kind of civilization,stove, people, etc.
Today we arranged out backpacks to go on horseback and we are waiting them to be ready, and we will go skiing.
Everyone is singing, the workers living in barracks, did not go to work, they sing.
We sit and write songs.
Many workers are very talented, intelligent people. Especially "the beard", his beard is ginger, ginger, and his eyes are also ginger, and brown.
The guys sing well.
And Rustic plays the mandolin very well.
Today was the last day me and Lyuda slept in beds.
Tonight we are going to be in a tent, apparently.
Now we are in the 41st quarter, today our goal is to reach the 2nd Nortern.
They say, there is a hut there, but no one lives in it.
Hurry to the road, to the skis ...
How about we go?
I'm lately somehow very deeply affected by music, guitar, mandolin and other.
Yesterday saw 3 movies here "In people", "There is such a guy" and again "Symphonie in Gold".
I want to see "Symphonie in Gold" even more times.

They often flew to ice, cleaned skis.
They came already in the dark for a long time looking for a hut with windows and doors.
2nd North is an abandoned village, nobody lives here at all, and what beautiful places!
It's just Chusovaya.
The stones on the banks are some cliffs, limestone, white.

Luda Dubinina diary

 

27 january Temperature is 5°.
Warm, skis are useless.
We are getting ready since the morning.
Today is the first day of the route.
Now we sit and wait for the horse to carry the backpacks, and we go on skis.
Fortune smiles at us. Yuri Yudin got sick, something with a nerve of his leg, in general he radiculitis and he is going home.
So, there are nine of us in the future.
At the moment we are sitting and singing songs.
Guys play the guitar, Rustic plays along with the mandolin.
Catches your heart.
This is the last place of civilization, and it is rare that we met people like that.
Overall I love the guitar and I adore all musical people.
And the guys in general are all good, they dance, they are musical.
We talked with Ognev.
He knows a lot and is interesting with him, now he talks about where we are going and more like this.
This, in my opinion, is the most interesting object here on the site.
He has such a long red beard, although he is only 27 years, he looks older.
And then there is Valya, who plays the guitar well (many play) and about whom I jokingly said that I like him.
Now most of the guys sit here and sing songs to the guitar, on the occasion that they do not work today.
It seems this is the last time I hear so many good new songs.
But we hope that Rustik will live up to the challenge.
We learn some Mansi words from the guys.

Dyatlov Group diary

 

1.27.59
The weather’s really good.
The wind is at our backs, and the lads made a deal with the locals for a horse to drive us to Second North settlement.
But it will be about 24 km from the 41st Settlement.
We helped Uncle Slava unload hay from a carriage and waited for the horse (it went to get more hay and wood).
We waited until 4:00 pm.
The boys started copying some songs.
One man sang beautifully.
We heard a number of illegal prison songs (Article 58 counter-revolutionary crimes).
Before that we bought four loaves of bread. Soft warm bread.
We ate 2 loaves. Horse is slow.
What a pleasure to go without backpacks.
We covered 8 km in 2 hours.
(River Ushma).
It's getting dark.
The horse is causing the delay.
Yuri Yudin is still with us.
He suddenly fell ill and he can't continue with the trek.
He wants to gather few minerals for the University and return.
Second North is an abandoned geological site consisting of 20-25 houses.
Only one is suitable for living.
In complete darkness we found a village and the house.
We started a fire with wood boards.
Smoke came form the stove.
Several people hurt their hands on old nails.
Everything is well.
Then the horse came.
We were talking and joking till 3 in the morning.
Doroshenko

Yuri Yudin diary

 

27 We spent the night in the hut of the 2nd Northern settlement.
There so much - many houses, warehouses, premises, forgot old vehicles, machine tools.
Everything was abandoned since 1952.
Here worked geological expedition what they could took out, the rest was exhausted and thrown.
The houses are all destroyed, there is only one with a stove and glass on the windows.
The place is picturesque.
Lozva river is wide.
Lots of lime rocks.
Uncle Slava says that in the summer you can cross the river, many warm, hot springs.
Sagebrush and water is not entirely frozen and there are places under the snow where water is not forzen after which we need to brake the ice from the skis.
Village Vizhay - camp (???) you can buy products.
Apothecary - artist Herzen ?.
German, wife is German.
Idyll in the family.
On the walls, relief paintings with filigree decoration, very masterfully, unusually finely executed.

28 January - 59 years to the day
Dyatlov group diary
January 28
We were awaken by the rumbling voices of Yurka Kri and Sasha Kolevatov.
Weather so far is smiling at us.
It's only -8C outside.
After breakfast, some of the guys lead by Yuri Yudin, our well- known geologist, went to look for local minerals.
They didn't find anything except pyrite and quartz veins in the rock.
Took them long time to wax their skis and adjust the mounting.
Yuri Yudin goes back home today.
It is a pity, of course, that he leaves us.
Especially for me and Zina, but nothing can be done about it.
Started at 11.45.
We go up the river Lozva.
We take turns to head the group for about 10 minutes.
Snow cover is significantly less than last year.
We have to stop and scrape the wet, melting snow from the bottom of the skis.
Yurka Kri is behind and makes sketches of the route.
The bank of the river near Second North (especially the right bank) are limestone cliffs that rise high at places.
Overall the terrain becomes flatter, entirely covered by forest.
We stop to rest at 5:30 pm on river Lozva.
Today we spend our first night in the tent.
The guys are busy with the stove, sewing curtains out of sheets.
With some thing completed and others not, we sit at dinner.
After dinner we sit for long time around the campfire and sing heartfelt songs.
Zina even tries to learn to play mandolin under guidance of our musician Rustik (Rustem Slobodin).
Then we resume our discussions, mostly about love.
Someone comes up with an idea that we need a special notebook for ideas that we might come up with.
Conspiring, we started going into the tent two people at a time.
The suspended stove radiates heat and divides the tent in two sections.
The further section is occupied by me and Zina.
Nobody wants to sleep by the stove.
We agree that Yurka Kri (Krivonischenko) will sleep there.
On the other side sleeps the person on duty (Sasha Kolevatov).
Yurka couldn't stand the heat and after laying down for 1-2 min, he got up and moved to the second section cursing and accusing us of treason.
After that they still argued about something for a long time, but at the end all was quiet.
Lyuda Dubinina - this entry is not signed, but can't be anybody else but Dubinina.

Zina Kolmogorova diary

 

28.1.58
Uncle Slava is leaving today on his horse, and Yura Yudin is leaving too.
He took a few samples.
I saw this type for the first after the drilling.
There is a lot of chalcopyrite and pyrite.
Last night the boys made stupid jokes.
In my opinion, if we don't pay attention to them, maybe they will be less rude. And so far, nothing.
It's time to go out, but they are still digging and digging.
I do not understand what's taking so long.
The first 30 minutes are over.
Of course, the backpack is somewhat heavy.
But it's possible to go.
The first day is always difficult.
left forward
Sasha Kolevatov tested his device and threw it away.
Second halt.
It was much easier to go yesterday without backpacks
snow, snow, snow, snow on the banks frozen river snow snow
Boundary stone.
Lunch was an hour at 4 pm After lunch we did just one more hike and stopped to rest.
I mended the tent.
We lay down to sleep. Igor was rude the whole evening,
I just couldn't recognize him.
I had to sleep on the wood near the stove.

Ludmila Dubinina diary

 

28 january
Woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning to someone's talk.
It turns out to be Yuri Krie and Sasha Kolya.
The weather is as warm as yesterday (t ° -8 °) Eat, h After breakfast, some of the guys Yura Yudin, Kolya and Yura Doroshenko went for the rocks in the core storage, where they decided to collect minerals for the collection.
Nothing but pyrite, and there were no quartz veins in the rock.
Gathered for a long time, prepared rations, greased the skis then

Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles decided to sit down.
However, the bench was too close to the wall and the backpack on his back pushed against the wall.
As a result, Kolya sat down on the edge of the bench, his skis drove off and he fell to the ground along with the bench.
The fall made everyone laugh, a smile appeared even on his face.
25081068457_daaf9a150f_o.jpg
Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles lies, smiles and looks at the photographer.
Next to it stands Yudin, in his right hand holds a sample core.
Yuri pulled out a bench from Nicholas and put it back to the wall.

Parting with Yuri Yudin, they will never see each other again.
Igor Dyatlov on the left.
His backpack looks heavy.
Lyuda Dubinina hugs Yuri Yudin goodbye.
Despite the fact that her backpack is big, it does not seem to be heavy.
Lyuda had a bullet wound to her leg and the guys on the trek apparently tried to lighten her backpack as much as possible.
On the right, Kolya is behind Lyuda, he smiles and looks at Lyuda's farewell scene with Yudin.
39952257481_676488c4bf_o.jpg
Farewell Yuri Yudin with Zina Kolmogorova.
Yudin looks at Zina and makes a movement to hug her waist.
Zina, smiling, looks at Yudin and makes a counter motion to hug at his neck.
Zolotaryov is looking at Zina, he is skiing, ski poles are in his hands.
Backpack is on his back, although not visible but the strap is (and an ice ax or a spare ski pole).

When Zina and Yuri huged Zina's heavy backpack pulled her back, the skies went slid forward and Zina lost balance and fell on her back.
Yuri Yudin is helping Zina to get back on her feet with her heavy backpack.

The first day of the ski trip, the tourists were tired and stretched out along the route, it was decided to make the first stop.
In the distance, five figures of hikers walking along the Lozva are visible.

Semyon Zolotaryov was leading the group before lunch, and now is behind.
A photo of poor quality.
Judging by the pictures that Semyon was taking, one can make the assumption that Zolotaryov did not have much experience in photography, and he himself acquired a camera recently.

29 January - 59 years to the day
On January 29, 1959, the men of the group took turns to cut a trail for 10 mins, and the group was taking a break after all 7 rotated.
They stopped every 70 mins (2-3 km).
They turn on Auspiya river tributary.
The group stopped for lunch at the fourth halt.
They followed a Mansi ski trail and soon started seeing Mansi signs and storage platform (labaz).
Dyatlov group spent the night at the river Hoysipulsos (Хойсиспалсос) tributary.
It's Yuri Doroshenko's birthday.
He turned 21.

29.1.59
Today is Yurka's birthday.
We go first to Lozva then we turn to Auspiya.
Surroundings are beautiful.
Along the Auspiya Mansi have passed.
A trail is visible, grooves, a path is visible.
We often see Mansi signs on the trail.
I wonder what they write about?
Now the Mansi trail goes South. (note: the turn is the sketch of the notch, the initials with the date Oct. 5, 1958, the drawing of the ax?)
Now we sit the three of us: Rustik, Yurka and I Waiting for the rest.
For the night stopped near the ski tracks.
We are burning firewood with Yurka.
We talked about the past.
Such a playboy.

Second day of our hike.
We made our way from the Lozva River to the Auspiya River.
We walked along a Mansi trail.
The weather is –13 C.
The wind is weak.
We often find ice on the Lozva River.
That's all.

From the backpack sticking out is the handle of an ice ax or an ax, next to it there is still someone's backpack, probably Zina Kolmogorova's.
A pencil sticks out of his breast pocket.
It's cold, Yuri has a hat and a windbreaker and warms his hands in his pockets.
He listens to the conversation of the guys and smiles.

The group turned off from Lozva river and went to Auspiya through the forest following the ski trail of a Mansi hunter.

Following the Mansi hunter trail Dyatlov geoup came across a Mansi labaz (storage platform raised above the ground)

They are discussing the Mansi labaz and what they should do for a cache before ascending to Mt. Otorten.

Dyatlov group took pictures of Mansi markings that tell how many local hunters passed through this area and the family clan to which they belong.
Mansi are people of the north.
Very interesting and unique people that inhabit the North Polar Urals, closed to the Tyumen region.
They have a written language and leave characteristic signs on forest trees.

30 January - 59 years to the day

Dyatlov group diary

 

 

30 January 1959
Diary is written in the cold on the go.
Today is a third cold night on the bank of Auspiya river.
We are getting used to it.
The stove does a great job.
Some of us (Thibeaux and Krivonischenko) think we need to build steam heat in the ten.
The curtains in the tent are quite justified.
We get up at 8:30am.
After breakfast we walk along the Auspiya river, but the ice again doesn't allow us to move forward.
We went on the bank on a sledge-deer trail.
In the middle of the road the saw Mansi shed.
Yes, Mansi, Mansi, Mansi.
This word comes up more and more often in our conversations.
Mansi are people of the North.
Small Hanti-Mansijskiy nation located in Salehard with 8 thousand population.
Very interesting and unique people that inhabit the North Polar Urals, close to the Tyumen region.
They have a written language, and leave characteristic signs on forest trees.
30.01.59
Weather: temperature in the morning - 17 С day - 13 С night - 26 С.
The wind is strong, south-west, snow begins to fall, heavy clouds, drop in temperature.
The temperature is normal for Northern Urals.
This is a story about the forest.
Mansi signs tell about animals they saw, resting stops and other things.
It is particularly interesting to solve its meaning for the tourists as well as historians.
Deer trail turns into а trodden path, and then ends.
To go without a trail is very hard, snow is 120 cm (4 feet) deep.
The forest gradually thins and trees get smaller.
Lots of dwarf birches and pines.
It is impossible to walk on the river.
It is not completely frozen, there is ice and water under the snow.
We have to go back on the bank of the river.
The day is over and we have to find a place for bivouac.
That's the stop for the night.
Strong west wind.
It blows the snows off the cedar and pine trees, creating the impression of a snow fall.
As usual we quickly start a fire and pitch the tent on some fir branches.
We are warmed by the fire and go to sleep.

Unknown diary

 

January 30.
In the morning it was 17 ° now it is getting colder.
"Volunteers" (S. Kolevatov and K. Tibo are repeating their duties as a punishment for slowing the group yesterday) took a long time to start a fire.
In the evening it was decided that we will leave the tent exactly 8 minutes after waking up.
Therefore, all have been awake and waiting for the command.
But it is useless. Around 9:30 in the morning we began the passive preparation.
Nick T. is joking about something in the morning.
Everyone is reluctant to get up.
And the weather!
In contrast to the rest of the warm days - today is a sunny cold day.
The sun appears playful.
Today as yesterday were are following the path of Mansi.
Sometimes Mansi writings appear on trees.
In general, all sorts of obscure mysterious characters.
There is slogan for ​​our campaign, "In a country of mysterious signs."
If we knew these letters, it would be possible, without any doubt, to go down the path, confident that it would lead us to the right place.
Here the trail takes us to the shores of the river.
We lose track.
In the future, the trail follows the left bank of Auspii river, but the team of deer crossed the river and we are going through the woods.
At the first opportunity we will turn back to the river.
As it is easier to follow it.
At approximately 2 pm we stop for a lunch.
Dried meat, guest crackers, sugar, garlic, coffee, stocked in the morning - that's our lunch.
Good mood.
A couple more hours - and we will stop at 5 pm for the night.
We have been looking for a place, then we returned about 200 meters back.
Charming place.
Deadwood, high pines, in short, everything you need for a good night.
2.
Luda quickly got tired and sat down by the fire.
Nick Thibault changed his clothes.
He began to write a diary.
The law is that until all the work is done, do not approach the fire.
And so they had a long argument, of who will sew the tent.
Finally K. Tibo gave up and took a needle.
Lyuda remained seated.
And we sewed the hole (and there were so many that there was enough work for all except two attendants and Lyuda.
Guys are terribly outraged.
Today is the birthday of Sasha Kolevatova*.
Congratulations.
We give him a clementine, which he immediately divided into 8 pieces (Lyuda went into a tent and did not come out until the end of the dinner).
So another day of our trek went smoothly.
* Alexander Kolevatov was born on November 16th, not January 30th.

Zinaida Kolmogorova diary

 

30.1.59
We go on Auspiya cold (ayserm).
Mansi trail ended.
Pine forest.
There was sun in the morning, now is cold (ayserm).
All day long we walked along Auspiya.
Will spend the night on a Mansi trail.
Kolya didn't get to be a watchman so me and Rustik will stay on duty today.
Burned mittens and Yurkin's second sweatshirt.
He cursed a lot.
Today, probably, we will build a storage.
28212228359_33041ac47d_o.jpg
The morning, apparently the group's first break, stopped next to more signs on the tree left by the Mansi hunters.
Igor Dyatlov in the photo.
His jacket is dirty, camera hangs on his chest.
The cut-off tiny tree is clearly visible right below.
The trunk could be chopped by the Mansi hunter.
28212227329_e1f46b4253_o.jpg
Simyon Zolotaryov, his mustache is frosted, on the left side of his chest hangs a flashlight.
From the front and left, two backpacks are visible on the photo.
On the front backpack are fastened boots.
In the background, from the left, behind the squinting spruce stands a man in a light storm jacket with a black hat on his head.
Could be Yuri Doroshenko who was wearing a fur hat, he probably waits for the rest of the group.
25120890887_6ea988cde5_o.jpg
Zina Kolmogorova draws in her notebook the Mansi symbols on the tree.
Behind her is Semyon Zolotarev.
39991222771_9878911f7e_o.jpg
Rustem Slobodin and Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles caught up with the group.
Rustem stuck his ski poles in the snow and looked at the signs on the tree.
Taking ski poles underarms, behind him is Nikolai.
At the feet of Nikolai, there is a spare pair of skis on the snow, obviously a spare pair of skis was passed on to the change on the route to the one who was behind the column.
In the foreground, Alexander Kolevatov is sitting on the backpack and looking at Rustem.
Next to him is Simon Zolotarev.
On the left leg of Kolevatov, there is an object similar to the Igor Dyatlov's bag, in which there is a general diary of the group and the map, Alexander pressed it to his leg with his left elbow.
Obviously, Igor studied the further route, while they waited for the whole group to gather, and Kolevatov made the first entry for January 30 in the general diary.
Or perhaps the first entry was made by Lyuda Dubinina who (unlike Alexander Kolevatov) never signed her entries to the general diary, and then gave the diary to Kolevatov.

Sunny morning, the group walks through the forest along the Auspiya River.
Prior to the first stop, Krivonischenko was apparently the first to go.
After the break, the group reassemble and Krivonischenko is the last.
He took a photo of the trail left by the skiers.

The group emerged from the forest on the river Auspiya, walking along the shore adhering to the right side.
First goes Igor Dyatlov, second Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles, followed by Lyuda Dubinina.
Igor stopped and looked back at the photographer.
On the back of Lyuda there is a light backpack, she walks freely with an imposing gait.
The weather is clear, the sun is shining.
Each of the boys is cutting a trail for 10 minutes, another 20 minutes and the group will stop.

The group is walking along Auspiya river.
Despite the very poor quality of the picture, the ski track of the group is clearly visible.
In the distance you can distinguish five dark figures.
Apparently there was a change and now the first goes Thibeaux-Brignolles, followed by Lyuda Dubinina, the third - it is unknown, the fourth is Zina Kolmogorova.

Sunny weather.
Next to Zolotaryov are two trees, the second one has Mansi markings.
Ahead of him are ski track - part of the group has already disappeared from view in the forest.
In the foreground Zina Kolmogorova is fixing her shoe overalls.
At the right of her are two backpacks, one of them is hers, and the second most likely belongs to Igor Dyatlov.

Krivonischenko looks at Mansi signs.
At the bottom of the second tree are harvested logs.

The year 1958 must have been carved by somebody else, it is not characteristic for Mansi to write the year.
There are logs next to the tree ready to be used in a camp fire.

The weather has changed, overcast.
(.... To go without a trail is very hard, snow is 120 cm (4 feet) deep.
The forest gradually thins and trees get smaller.
You can feel the altitude.
Lots of dwarf birches and pines. ...)

Evening, 5 pm, the group is looking for a place to spend the night.

We have been looking for a place, then we returned about 200 meters back. ...)

31 January - 59 years to the day

 

The sequence of frames in film №1 is questionable.
The film is cut and it is hard to tell which frame follows which.
According to the sequence of frames it turns out that Doroshenko's sweatshirt was burned in the night January 31 to February 1.
However, it is known from the diary of Zina Kolmogorova that the sweatshirt was burned in the night January 30 to January 31.
There is a clear contradiction.
What to believe, the sequence of the film cut into several parts or entries in the diary?
With the further restoration of the chronology of events, we will stick to the entries in the diaries.

Dyatlov group diary

 

31 January 1959
Today the weather is a bit worse wind (west), snow (probably from the pines) because the sky is perfectly clear.
Came out relatively early (around 10 am).
Took the same Mansi sled trail.
Till now we walk along a Mansi trail, which was crossed by a deer hunter not long ago.
Yesterday we apparently came across his resting stop.
Deer didn't go much further.
The hunter didn't follow the beaten trail and we are now in his steps.
Today was surprisingly good accommodations for the tent, air is warm and dry, despite the low temperature of -18C to -24C.
Walking is especially hard today.
Visibility is very low.
We can't see the trail and sometimes we have to advance gropingly.
All we can do is 1.52 km (1 mile) per hour.
We are forced to find new methods of clearing the path for the skis.
The first member leaves his backpack on the ground and walks forward, then returns and rests for 10-15 minutes with the group.
Thus we have a non-stop paving of the trail.
It is especially hard for the second to move down the new trail with full gear on the back.
We gradually leave the Auspiya valley, the rise is continuous, but quite smooth.
Fir trees are replaced by wispy birch-wood.
We came out of the tree line.
Wind is western, warm, penetrating.
The speed of the wind is similar to the air draft created by a taking off airplane.
Firn, open spaces.
I can't even start thinking of setting up a storage.
It's close to 4.
We have to start looking for a place to pitch the tent.
We are going south in Auspiya river valley.
This apparently is the place covered with the deepest snow.
Wind is not strong, snow cover is 1,22 m.
Tired and exhausted we started the preparations for the night.
Not enough firewood.
Frail damp firs.
We started fire with logs, too tired to dig a fire pit.
We had supper right in the tent. It's warm.
It is hard to imagine such a comfort somewhere on the ridge, with a piercing wind, hundreds kilometers away from human settlements.

The stream is not frozen.
Walking along the creek is not possible, large snowdrifts and deep snow.
This photo in possible to have been taken on January 30.
40008986751_4a984e9a12_o.jpg
Alexander Kolevatov and Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles, behind them stands a pair of skis.
Behind Nikolai's right, leaning against the birch and all in the snow, lies a backpack.
To this birch is tied an extension that holds the center of the tent.
Behind the backpack and birch stands a tent.
The edge of the slope of the tent is covered with snow, wet spots are visible on the slope.
Alexander is pointing at something down and laughs, Nikolai looks down and laughs too.
The guys most likely laugh at the burnt Doroshenko's sweatshirt.

Dyatlov (left, bended), Zolotaryov, Dubinina and Kolevatov (right) brushing ashes from Dyatlov's homemade stove.
We can see Kolevatov's Finnish knife.
Note how the tent is suspended on a rope tied to nearby trees.
From this photo and other we can speculate that Lyuda liked to hang around the the seniour member of the group - Zolotaryov and Thibeaux-Brignolles.
That can explain her choice to join them at the last hours of her life.
39111371615_0a354b3ff4_o.jpg
Just for laughs Rustem Slobodin put on the burnt sweatshirt that belonged to Yuri Doroshenko and posed for the photo.
40008986611_6b67e540b0_o.jpg
Morning, Rustem Slobodin posing for a photo in the burnt sweatshirt that belonged to Doroshenko.
Behind him in the snow lies a pair of skis, in front of him is a backpack, Rustem's feet are covered with shoe covers.
The group is preparing to get on the trail.
26136664038_c4865c5c39_o.jpg
... It's impossible to walk along the river - it did not freeze, and under the snow, water and ice ...
In the photo Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles.
To the left in the snow lies the ski.
Large drifts, deep snow, Nikolai fell into a creek under the snow.
39977503962_9cb2f02935_o.jpg
Nikolai lies in the snow.
The ski that lay next to it is no longer visible covered with snow, next to it there are two ski poles.
One ski stick plunged into the snow to the very handle, this indicates that the depth of the snow is more than a meter.
Some of the guys tried to pull Nikolai by the legs and pulled off his left foot boots.
39111370715_d0dbbe864d_o.jpg
Nikolai cleared himself of some snow and puts a black glove on his left hand.
Apparently it was his turn to pack the snow ahead of the group.
The group walked along the river covered with snow and at some point Nikolai collapsed.
39299833934_2d93394ecd_o.jpg
Nikolai got out of the snowdrift, got to his feet, put on his right foot boots and looked at the guys.
In the foreground, behind the branches, lies his backpack, next to him is a black right mitt, skis and ski poles.
In front to the left is a hole in the snow, probably under it is a stream.
25138517737_e7a98cc5dd_o.jpg
You can see tracks leading to the silhouette.
This is not somebody hiding in the forest going after the group, like Yeti.
This theory is Discovery channel’s way to justify a budget spent on a movie - so they had to offer an ending that will speak to the american audience.
In the states you can’t make a movie and not have an ending.
Please stop asking me about the “Yeti” photo.
This is Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles.
Ok?
39111371375_6dfe8bb2f1_o.jpg
Nikolai smiles at the photographer, although it's clear he is very cold.
40008987411_0869b5b35b_o.jpg
The group stopped for lunch.
In the foreground is Zina Kolmogorova.
She stuck her ski poles in the snow, one of the guys helped her take off her backpack and put it next to her.
Zina took off the mittens and threw them on the snow, in her right hand she holds several pieces of sugar, waiting for Kolya Thibaut to give her the rest of the dinner.
On the left Kolya Thibaut's foot and hand, he sits on a backpack and distributes food to the hikers.
Yuri Krivonischenko, Lyuda Dubinina, Yuri Doroshenko and Alexander Kolevatov.
39111371295_a47534c9dd_o.jpg
After lunch, the group heads to the pass.
Bad weather, strong wind, blizzard, visibility is limited. In the photo, most likely it's Zina Kolmogorova.
39977504142_b55eff9e9c_o.jpg
In the photo is Rustem Slobodin, on his shoulders there is a backpack with a pair of felt boots, a handle of an ax sticks out from the backpack.
Next to him is a backpack, on the far background from the right one more backpack is seen, most likely it's a bag with the tent.
The group stopped at the foot of the pass on the border of the forest.
There is strong wind, blizzard and low visibility.

In the foreground, without a backpack, stands Igor Dyatlov and looks somewhere to the left of the photographer.
His left knee in the snow, obviously Igor was kneeling when he took off his backpack.
From the left, behind Igor, is Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles, he took off his ski boot and looked at the photographer.
Resisting the force of the wind, Igor and Nikolai inclined their bodies forward.
In the background is Lyuda Dubinina, she turns away from the wind and looks around, looks at the one who follows her.
She has a small backpack on her back.
The presence of a small backpack on the back of Lyuda Dubinina.
She had a leg wound, so the guys tried to make the weight of her backpack as easy as possible.
Behind her another figure is visible, most likely it's Alexander Kolevatov.
The group came to the foot of the pass and stopped at the edge of the forest.
Around the small crooked birches and spruce.
The weather is very different from what it was in the valley of the Auspiya river.
On the pass there is a strong wind, blizzard, low visibility is bad at 100 - 200 m.
We gradually leave Auspiya valley, the rise is continuous, but quite smooth.
Fir trees are replaced by wispy birch-wood.
We came out of the tree line.
Wind is western, warm, penetrating.
The speed of the wind is like air draft created by a taking off airplane.
Firn, open spaces.
I can't even start thinking of setting up a storage.
It's close to 4 pm.
39111371085_a658263c30_o.jpgPhoto by Yuri Krivonischenko
It seems like there were members of the group that were sent out to scout the pass, and they just came back.
Very interesting shot - it recorded one of the important moments in the fate of the group.
The tourists stopped at a halt, on the border of the forest, to put on warm clothes and prepare for further ascent in the mountain.
While the group was gathering firewood, Dyatlov and Kolevatov went further up to assess the conditions.
Igor Dyatlov on the left, talking to Semyon Zolotaryov.
Igor is on the skis, Alexander Kolevatov listens to what Igor is saying and looks at Semyon or at some of the guys behind him.
To the right is Semyon Zolotarev, he threw a jacket on his shoulders and listens attentively to what Igor is saying with a serious expression on his face.
Behind Semyon is Yura Doroshenko, he goes to his backpack. In the background on skis is Rustem Slobodin with a heavy backpack, with boots on top of it.
On the previous photo there was an ax sticking out of his backpack, now it's not there.
They are cutting wood for the night.
Rustem warms his hands in his pockets and looks at Lyuda and Nikolai.
Next to him on the ski is Zina Kolmogorova.
She is slightly bent forward and puts her left arm on her shoulder strap from the backpack.
Near Zina on the right, stands Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles on skis, on his shoulders hangs a heavy backpack.
With his right hand Nikolai is helping Zina to put her backpack on her shoulders.
In the foreground, with his back, next to the dwarf birch, stands Lyuda Dubinina.
She warms her hands in the pockets of her trousers and looks at the guys.
On the snow there are two backpacks, one is Yuri Doroshenko's, and the second must be Semyon Zolotaryov's.
To the backpacks are attached brush and firewood for the stove.
The group stands in a small hollow on the edge of the forest.
From the right of the group is a small hill, on which grow dwarf, ugly birches.
Strong headwind, blizzard, visibility no more than 100 m.
This photo captures a key moment.
What happened here?
It may seem that Igor, as the head of the group, made a gross mistake, led tourists to a radial ascent without having made storage and the group was in extremely unfavorable conditions.
Here everything depended on the further choice of the route.
... Today, probably, we will build a storage. ...
Apparently, there was no certainty, Igor himself did not know exactly where they would build the storage?
If the group was going to follow the route; the river Auspiya - the river Lozva - mountain Otorten, they should overcome a pass and go down to a valley of the river Lozva.
The ascent to the Mt Otorten, by plan, was supposed to happen from the valley of Lozva river, but then they would not need need the brush and firewood before going through the pass.
The group reached the pass early, and during lunch, Dyatlov decided to stack up with firewood and go up the pass for an overnight on the ridge.
There was still enough bright time of day to continue the trek for the day.
Igor intended to raise the group with full equipment to Mt Kholat Syakhl.
There he planned to spend a cold overnight, then to cross the northern peaks of the Kholat Syakhl and descend to the valley of the Lozva river, build a storage and continue to Mt Otorten.
After careful consideration Igor decided that the exercise to spend the night on the pass will make more sense if they leave the extra load here.
On this photo is captured the moment when Igor is explaining to Zolotaryov his change of plan:
  • go back to Auspiya river for a warm and sheltered campsite
  • make a storage, leave an extra load
  • next day continue to Mt Otorten without descending from the pass. They would have already built the storage and left the extra load on Auspiya river. The standard route to go up Mt Otorten was from Lozva river. Dyatlov had a different idea in mind - once on top of the pass to continue on the ridge light from extra weight, trek easily on firm ice on the ridge of Mt Kholat Syakhl without loss of altitude, and spend a warm night on the lake, the source of Lozva river
  • make an ascent to Mt Otorten and set off on the return journey.

1 February - 59 year to the day

 

On February 1 the group started out late, covered 2 km only and pitched a tent on the open ridge for a "cold" overnight i.e. without firewood.
Dyatlov group had to prepare a note for the ascent to Mt Otorten, but instead they write on Evening Otorten №1, the satirical propaganda leaflet.
39995449222_289a87a938_o.jpg
The only written piece where snowman (or Yeti) is mentioned is in Evening Otorten №1, the satirical propaganda leaflet Dyatlov Group put together at the night of the incident.
The case file does not contain a photo of this flyer, only a transcript of its content.
You might think that Keith McCloskey, Libecki and others would want to consult the original document in order to independently authenticate such an apparently important clue, but they do not.
26154416558_b453c799a8_o.jpg
We have to guess what their plans were.
  • They were carrying the stove and even though they did not used it that night it means that they were planning on using it at least once before their return back to the labaz.
  • They pitched the tent on the ridge although they had the time to go down to Lozva river. The only reason to do that is to continue in the morning on high grounds towards Otorten, where it is easier to ski on firm snow.

 

The conclusion is that they planned to have more "warm" overnight on February 2 at lake Lunthusaptur (Лунтхусаптур) under Mt Otorten where the source of Lozva starts.
They must have planned to make the note for the ascent then.
On the morning of February 3 make an ascent to Mt Otorten, and replace the note that was there with their own.
Then they pack their tent and start their way back.
They spend another "cold" overnight on February 3 on Kholat Syakhl.
On February 4 the group was supposed to go back to their labaz on Auspiya river.
From the campsite on February 1 to Mt Otorten is about 18 km.
Taking into account the return journey, that makes 36 km.
The group planned to leave on February 1 and return on February 4 to the labaz, the group had to take products for 3 days.
The upcoming route was r. Auspiya - lake Lunthusaptur - Mt Otorten - r. Auspiya.
They started late on February 1 because they waited for the weather to clear out.
They wrote Evening Otorten №1, built a storage (labaz), gather firewood for the return back.
Then after lunch, Dyatlov took the risk and lead the group up the the mountain Kholat Syakhl.
Dyatlov Pass is not where the group was headed.
The pass is the place to go over Kholat Syakhl if you are going to come down.
Some people speculate that Dyatlov got lost and didn't find the pass.
This is not true.
The group didn't intend to go though the pass.
They wanted to gain altitude and stay on the ridge for a "cold" overnight i.e. without firewood.
40026934461_090e68a0c3_o.png
They went 2 km and about 3 pm setup a camp site.

On February 2 the group was supposed to cover 14 - 14.5 km on a firm snow, reach lake Lunthusaptur and to have a "warm" overnight.
That's way they took the stove with them and was found in the tent, not used on the tragic night of February 1.
What happened on the night of February 1959 will haunt us till this day.
I can offer only a speculative reenactment of the events of this night.

This is a speculative reenactment of the events outside the tent up on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl on Dyatlov group last night alive.

This story is based the following facts:

  • sightings of light effects in the sky are common for this latitude ***
  • Zolotoryov and Thibeaux-Brignolles were wearing felt boots (valenki)
  • the camera found around Zolotoryov's neck
  • frame from Zolotoryov's damaged film
  • Thibeaux-Brignolles and Krivonischenko’s knives were found in their parkas inside the tent
  • Kolevatov's Finish knife was found inside the tent in March
  • The black plastic sheath of that same knife was found outside the tent in May when the snow started to melt
  • Kolevatov was wearing one felt boot on his right foot
  • Dyatlov's jacket was found outside the tent, knife in his pocket
  • Dyatlov's flashlight was found on top of the tent
  • Slobodin's injuries
  • Rustem's body was the only one with icy bed under from the hardening of the thawing snow

 

*** Here is a statement of someone familiar with the region:
"I have lived a number of years above the Arctic Circle.

Lights, fireballs, and other strange luminescent events are common.

People in the lower latitudes only know about 'the Northern Lights' but there is a whole range of strange and spectacular things that happen at the higher latitudes.

And it's not all lights either.

Sound events often occur too, with and without lights.

I have heard and seen things that I would think were alien ships whizzing by or crashing if I wasn't an engineer with a physics education.

The amount of energy deflected and channeled by the earth's magnetic field is enormous and causes all sorts of light and sound shows at the higher latitudes.


Everyone wants to treat the fireball events seen around the time of the Dyatlov tragedy as special.

Sorry, that sort of thing is not special at all.

Go spend a couple winters up there and you'll see.

I have.

And I am not impressed at all by the stories.

They are as common as hurricanes in Florida.

Sure, some are bigger than others and some seasons have few and others a lot.

But what was seen was not unique."

Let's read about an incident that happened on March 31, 1959.

Sergey Sogrin, 4th year student in UPI, went out of the rescuers tent to relief himself at 4 am and saw a "fireball" (the emergency flight of the R-7 ICBM from Tyuratam to Kur).

He went back to the tent and alarmed Meshternyakov, who was the watchman at that time, and who woke up the rest of the rescuers.

They all went out to look at the fireball the way they were sleeping or else they will miss the show.

They were wearing socks only, and trying to step on branches that were laying around the tent.

Does it ring a bell?

What if Zolotoryov and Thibeaux-Brignolles put their valenki and went out to relief themselves, saw something in the sky, Zolotoryov might have rushed back to the tent to get his camera and called the rest of the hikers to observe whatever was happening in the sky.

I am speculating that whatever got the hikers out of the tent was in the sky and not an immediate threat because they would otherwise try to put on some shoes, clothes, and take their knives.

Dyatlov went out in his jacket and there was a knife in his pocket.

Kolevatov had his Finish knife in a sheath hung on his belt.

They would also have exited the tent through its designated opening, and not cutting through the sides, or else they wouldn't arrange and look up in the sky while Zolotoryov is shooting photos above their heads.

Cutting through the sides of the tent would call for running for their lives which did not happen.

The footprints show walking in the snow, not running.

While they watch the sky something goes terribly wrong.

But they are 9 young and physically fit people, 2 women amongst them.

Behavior analysis says that it is very probable somebody to try to stand up for the group.

If they were threatened with (machine) guns and ordered to strip (Dyatlov's jacket was found outside the tent), Kolevatov must have unbuckled his belt to remove the sheath and throw it in the snow.

If Slobodin snatched the blade from the sheath and try to confront the attackers, he would have been beaten to be incapacitated, not just for intimidation.

He received several heavy blows to the head, capable of knocking anyone out, he had low foot injury (two well-known abrasions remained on the lower third of the left shin), crack in the skull (on the left side) that looks very much like from a butt of an firearm, bilateral hemorrhages in the temporal muscles, abrasions and scratches on the forehead, abrasions on the left cheekbone and eyelid of the right eye.

Rustem had bloody nose too.

These injuries are consistent with boxing or wrestling i.e. hand to hand fight.

Rustem had bruised knuckles and laceration of the skin in the lower part of the right forearm (like Yuri Doroshenko).

Now lets turn our attention to the black plastic sheath that Yuri Yudin and Rimma Kolevatova identified as belonging to Alexander Kolevatov.

The knife was a present from Rimma to her brother and she knew it very well.

The knife was found in the tent, and the sheath was outside the tent.

What is more interesting is why the sheath was without a belt.

The owner had to unbuckle the belt, remove the sheath, and then put the belt back through the loops of the pants - this manipulation itself is rather strange, because a knife suspended in a sheath does not cause inconvenience.

You can quickly get used to it and stop noticing it, you can even sleep with it without any problems.

But Kolevatov for some reason decided to get rid of the sheath.

Apart from this, the knife was removed from the sheath outside the tent.

If Kolevatov really saved his friends from under the snow slump and cut his tent with his "fink" from the inside, the picture should have been the opposite - the empty sheath is in the tent, and the knife is outside it.

That's not the case though.

Something prompted Alexander Kolevatov to remove the knife in its sheath from the belt and throw it into the snow, as if they were unnecessary to him - and this action is completely absurd in the case of any non-criminal scenario of events.

A knife dramatically increases his chances of survival in an uncertain environment.

The logic in removing the sheath from the belt and throwing out the knife can only be in case of forced disarmament, i.e. execution of the team under threat of reprisal.

Another scenario - there is an avalanche and Kolevatov, the only one with his knife on the belt pulls it out, cuts the tent from the inside to secure an escape route, then throws the knife away to help his friends out.

The knife is registered to him and if he loses the "Finn" he can get up to 5 years of imprisonment (Article 182 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR in the redaction of 1926 with additions from 1933 and 1935).

Lets say Kolevatov is not rational.

But why stop outside and make the much more lengthy exercise of removing the empty sheath from his belt?

After Kolevatov put his "Finn" in the sheath on the snow, someone tried to use the knife.

There is no other explanation why the sheath is empty outside the tent.

Alexei Rakitin in his article "Why Rustem Slobodin froze first?" ("Почему Рустем Слободин замёрз первым?") in his online edition "Death is not far behind... " (my friend Andrei Andreev contributed this loose translation of "Смерть, идущая по следу…") makes a very good speculative reenactment of the events surrounding the first encounter of the group with their attackers.

Because of Rustem Slobodin's character, background, type of injuries and how he was found - Rakitin believes that Rustem Slobodin was the person who pulled the "Finn" out of the sheath and try to resist.

The moment when he must have tried that would be when he bent to remove his felt boots.

He was found with only one felt boot on his right foot.

Slobodin remained in the same felt-boots: the first he took off himself before grabbing the knife, and after the beating no one began to pull off the second felt from the unconscious body.

The other two hikers wearing felt boots were Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles and Semyon Zolotaryov.

In my scenario they have their boots on because they went out to relief themselves while the rest of the hikers were called out to look at "fireball" in the sky.

Even if the attackers did not care about their boots and marched the hikers down the slope after Rustem caused the commotion, I cannot explain why they didn't "loose" Zolotoryov's camera.

No matter who they were, the perpetrators must have known what a camera was for and that there could be incriminating photos that will survive the ordeal.

In Rakitin's scenario Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles and Semyon Zolotaryov were out when the tent was attacked and they hid or ran in the dark, and joined their friends later on when they were already marching down the slope.

I have it difficult to adhere to this version because the hikers were stalked before the confrontation.

I don't see a way that Thibeaux-Brignolles and Zolotaryov will come out unnoticed.

They couldn't have been out in their felt boots for more than 5-10 mins, and the traces of urine were not far away from the tent.

Nobody goes to pee in the untrampled snow.

The beating of Slobodin was the climax in the scene at the tent.

Suppressed by all seen and heard, not understanding the essence of what is happening, the hikers have already obediently performed the last command of their tormentors: "Get out of here while you can!"

Having picked up Rustem Slobodin, who was not yet fully come to life, the tourists pulled down the slope, intuitively realizing not to go in the direction of the labaz (cache), so their attackers would not vandalize the provisions they have left there.

The hikers did not run, the attackers told them to scram.

Their first reaction to the incident was quite understandable - they were relieved that the extremely shameful, disgusting and senseless scene of their general humiliation and beating had ended.

The weather was relatively warm -5°С to -7°С - and compared to the stress such cold did not seem prohibitive or even dangerous.

Very soon - literally a few dozen meters from the tent - the group was joined by the Thibeaux-Brignolles and Zolotaryov.

While going down the slope the reunited group was engaged in a animated discussion of the incident, a discussion that must have been very polemical and even conflicting.

Zolotaryov knew more than others and had the most extensive life experience, it he must have offered a plan, perhaps even imposed it on the rest of the group.

What this action plan was, we will never know and can only guess.

We know that the tracks down the slope converged, then parted, but kept a common direction, and the hikers were always within a earshot.

They certainly talked on the move, adrenaline high, vigorously proving and convincing each other of one thing or another.

So, what does it prove?

Objectively, nothing, or rather, just that the hikers descending the slope had the intention of sticking together.

However, for a psychologist this "swarming of the footsteps" ("Human Swarming and the future of Collective Intelligence") there is considerable meaning.

Hikers intuitively divided into groups "according to preferences" - when someone suggested a reasonable plan of action, supporters moved closer to him, when another reasonable proposal followed - people went to him.

This does not mean that the hikers ran from one leader to another, this is unconscious movement.

Unfortunately the tracks were not photographed and studied by the investigators.

If this were the case, after the discovery of the corpses, prints on the snow could have been matched to a specific person.

Imagine being able to say: here Lyudmila Dubinina walks for 150 m along with Dyatlov, and then moves closer to Zolotaryov and continues descending beside him; Kolevatov always remains near Semen Zolotaryov; Rustem Slobodin moves a little apart from the rest of the hikers and in a general does not seem to be involved in the conversation ...

We could have followed each of the group members down the slope and their body language could have said a lot about the last hours of their lives, about the clustering from the cedar in particular.

Rustem Slobodin was suffering from the cerebral trauma he received stumbled behind the group.

At a distance of about 1 km from the tent he fell into the snow.

Rustem lost consciousness and the ability to move about 20 mins after the attack.

It is well known that people who have suffered the heaviest knockout and who received a severe closed brain injury can recover and for some time demonstrate satisfactory condition (until the intracranial hemorrhage begins to put pressure on the meninges).

Soccer players can continue the game, the boxer can break into a fight ... well-known video recordings of athletes who received death craniocerebral injuries during the competition, but at the same time show complete self-control and external well-being for a while.

After 10-20 minutes, it ends with a call to the team physician first, and then - the paramedics.

This phenomenon of the seeming vigor of an already actually dying person is sometimes very accurately called "deferred death".

The speed of development of the process is significantly affected by the motor activity of the victim and the temperature of the environment - both slow the growth of hemorrhage.

No one noticed the disappearance of Rustem Slobodin in the dark - the group went ahead leaving their mortally wounded friend lagging behind.

Rustem was the first to die, this is clearly indicated by the high temperature of his body at the time of the fall in the snow.

Underneath was discovered the so-called "bed of the corpse", a layer of melted snow that forms from the warmth of the body.

Such a "bed of the corpse" was present only under Slobodin's body, the rest of the hikers found on the slope and at the cedar were already very cold by the time they fell to the ground.

On April the 27th 2013 at the age of 76 Yuri Yudin died of heart failure.

 

At the end he wasn't the shadow of himself, his illness was diagnosed as a severe stage of varicose veins.

 

The Dyatlov foundation funded him to have an operation, but did not succeed in persuading Yuri to have an operation, and spent time being cared for by a nurse.

 

In the end his heart gave in ''He always said, there is one thing he wanted to ask God what happened to his friends...''

This drawing was done by Sharavin.

 

Alot of the items was half blocking the entrance.

 

Why block the entrance to cut your way out...

 

I read Doroshenko asked the sports committee for a icepick.

 

Which was found outside by the entrance.

 

Possible Dorochenko, Igor was at the back of the tent, his things was found at the back along with Zina's diary...

The position of the tent.

 

The supporting skis was found upright, but strange one of the skis are in the wrong position.

 

Supporting skis should be on both sides of the tent with rope to support the center of the tent.

 

The entrance is still showing, Sharavin said most of there things as near the entrance half blocking the exist.

 

Urine was found on the snow near the tent, its mentioned two hikers went out urinating.

 

This means the entrance wasn't blocked while this happened so as to get back in the tent, most of there things must have been put there when the two got back in the tent.

 

Slobstov said caps and a scarf was on the slope a flashlight found further down the slope on the third ridge or ledge.

 

ln the diagram this is how the flashlight was found wedge between snow and canvas on the tent.

 

Cut skipole at the back, its Sharavin who mentions more broken skipoles was found at the back of the tent along with the three cut pieces of skipole.

 

lgor's fur jacket was stuff in the damage hole of the tent.

 

Two pairs of slippers was found on the slope.

 

Snow must have fallen, through the weeks.

 

lcepick probably belong to Doroshenko, reason he asked for one back at Upi...

 

The one ski should be on opposite sides not one at the back position.

 

They dragged the tent sheet away from the hikers things, most of the skis was used for a foundation on the ground...

These photos of the cedar tree, and Krivonischenko laying silently.

 

They took Doroshenko's body away and left Krivonischenko for over a day, just lying there.

 

The fire is behind the cedar the direction of the winds came from behind the cedar.

 

The area is more of a large valley.

 

Using snowdrift to build up down in the ravine.

 

A thin layer of snow covered Krivonischenko and Doroshenko, reason for Sharavin to say a blanket, meaning they was covered in a blanket of snow, there was also a bottle found near one singed log near the cedar.

 

Some new researchers have put it that there could be a possible ski track behind Doroshenko and Krivonischenko making it possible for a third person to be there...

These are interested...

 

The cedar tree where they found Doroshenko and Krivonischenko.

 

Some close ups of broken branches, its said they found tissue on the branches belonging to Krivonischenko.

 

These branches would have been thinner in the 50's.

The area is where the group stopped on the 30th to the morning of the 1st February.

 

Investigators and Kurikov the head Mansi as unearthed the storage.

 

A extra ski marked the storage in the ground, in reason years experience hikers are amazed.

 

Why the hikers put there food and items in the ground... did they suspect someone would find the storage in time?

 

Unusual, if stored its always in the tree's, so wolve can't find the food...

 

Slobstov and Kurikov looked concerned...

Begining of the Search.
The confusion.
The photo above is showing Ural Polytechnic Institute, a photo recovered from Dyatlov hikers camera.
Smoke from heating coal is filling up the sky.
The mood in UPI is foreboding.
The awareness that Dyatlov group was missing was marked by three incidents – only the first links of a long chain of misunderstandings and coincidences which we don’t call cover up.
At least not yet.
There was confusion.
By February 21 UPI was buzzing like a hornets nest.
Hikers families were worried sick and demanded search operations to start immediately.
Students were bursting with desire to help their friends.
The head of UPI sports club was not answering his phone, not because he was busy doing something, but because he was not aware of the situation.
Here are the three facts contributing to the confusion:
  1. Yudin was supposed to relate the fact that the return date is postponed from 12 to 15 of February. This on its own is not a big delay, but the problem is that he told this to a member of Blinov bureau which on its own is a bad coincidence because Blinov group was in the same region at the same time as Dyatlov group.
  2. So when UPI sports club chairman Lev Semenovich Gordo said that a telegram came from Vizhay on February 18th informing of group’s delay nobody checked on the fact that this was not from Dyatlov, but Blinov group. Unbelievable, but it’s a fact. There are many unbelievable facts in this whole case which is still not opened, and we will keep posting till the proceedings in 1959 are discontinued.
  3. Dyatlov didn’t file a route map. Basically at the time when the search needed a flying start it turn out they didn’t know where to look. The two sides that coincided here were that Dyatlov was headstrong, didn’t like authorities, and perhaps, judging by the place their tent was later on found, he wanted to try a new approach to Mt. Otorten, not the standard one. And he wanted to play it by ear, something that won’t be approved if filed. If you file a plan you need to follow it. The second fact is that the UPI sports club administration actually allowed the group to go without all the required documents for the trip.
The necessary information began to be feverishly reconstructed from the stories of people who heard about the plans of Dyatlov group.
The problem with the missing map was resolved by a member of another Politech sport club - Ignaty Fokich Ryagin, a friend of the Kolevatov family, who discussed extensively with Alexander the forthcoming trek in mid January.
Ryagin recalled the route of the group from memory and on February 19 Rimma handed over the map to Colonel Georgy Ortyukov, a tactics instructor from the UPI military department, who led the search for the group in those February days, and subsequently put a lot of effort into clarifying the history of the Dyatlov group.
40406341771_f5158572aa_o.jpg
Kolevatova witness testimony from, , from Dyatlov group case files (page 272)
"... The search of the missing group started with great delay.
The group was supposed to return in Sverdlovsk on February 14-15, on February 12 they were to send a telegram from Vizhay, their final point along the route.
Parents were worried about their children and, of course, they called both the UPI sports club and the city sports club (according to Dubinina and Slobodin's families).
I myself called the institute only on February 17, 3 days after the expected return date.
I couldn't get hold of UPI sports club chairman Gordo, all my attempts to get through to him were futile.
I then called the city sports club Comrade Ufimtsev.
He assured me that there is nothing to worry about, that the group is delayed for a week and they are on their way back.
A certain fact is indignant and criminal: Gordo informed UPI party committee that a telegram had been received from Vizhay on February 18 reporting a delay of the group.
Secretary of the UPI party committee Comrade Zaostrovsky F.P. did not check on Gordo's report and did not inform the Director of UPI Comrade Syunov N.S., about the incident.
The Director learned about the missing group only after he was phoned by Comrade Pedchenko E.P. from the city party committee (I myself had to go to the city committee with a request to take measures to initiate search of the missing group).
There was a telegram though, but from a different group that was in the same area (Blinov's group), so the institute's directorate was not informed about the negligence.
The search began only at the insistence of the parents of tourists.
When the Polytechnic Institute began organizing the search, it turned out that the sports club did not have a route map which the hikers were supposed to follow in their trek, that is a scheme printed over a map.
The deputy chairman of the UPI sports club, Comrade Milman, learned from third parties that I had a map with the route before the group went on their hike, and called my sister Nina Sergeevna Anisimova with a request to provide the map to be used in the search.
But my brother Alexander took this map with him on the trek.
A map was given to to this brother (Comrade Milman) by Ignaty Fokich Ryagin, deputy head of the trust Gipromedrud (if I'm not mistaken in the name), friend of ours.
He knew about the trek because we (me and my brother) talked with him about the forthcoming trek.
After the call from the UPI sports club at our request I.F. Ryagin restored from memory the route and drew it on a map, which I personally passed on February 19 to Colonel Ortyukov (who was the first one to fly to find the group).
The above fact testifies to the utter indifference and lack of control on behalf of those responsible for organizing the campaign and launching the search groups..."

Organization of the Search, from Dyatlov group case files (page 36)
Organization of the Search
Return date of Dyatlov group, registered in Sverdlovsk, was 12.02.59.
When Yudin decided to go back due to illness, Dyatlov asked him to relate (without specifying exactly to whom) that the control date is postponed to 15.02.59.
On the postponement of the deadline Yudin reported privately to a certain UPI student, in particular member of Blinov bureau.
12.02, when the deadline expired, the GK did not know about the delay to 15.02, and the sports club UPI did not have any deadlines at all because the group took the documentation with them.
Until 16.02, no one was concerned about Dyatlov group.
16.02 Blinov rang to GK FK and sports club and understood that there is no telegram from Dyatlov group.
17.02 rang again 18.02 GK FK and sports club called Vinsay (Vizhay, red) 19.02 – received an answer that Dyatlov group hasn't turned up.
20.02 – it was decided to send to Ivdel Blinov and the chairman of the UPI sports club comrade Gordo.
21.02 they flew to Ivdel with a special flight and began circling above the hiking area.

February 20
UPI sports club called a meeting, and the other expedition groups in the region were informed that there might be a problem with Dyatlov group.
Search parties were formed that including the hikers from treks that had recently returned.
The groups led by Sergey Sogrin, Yuri Blinov, and Vladislav Karelin all received telegrams telling them to stop and wait for reinforcements.
February 21
More teams from the university were dispatched to help with the search.
One team was led by Boris Slobtsov, a student at the UPI, another by Oleg Grebennik, also a UPI student, and the third by Moses Axelrod, an experienced climber.
Under the command of Captain Alexey Chernyshov, a fourth fresh group comprising military personnel was dispatched.
Some local Mansi people were also asked to help.

Mansi, Mansi, Mansi
After February 21 the search of Dyatlov group was coordinated from Ivdel by the local prosecutor Tempalov and representatives of the UPI Yuri Blinov and chairman Lev Gordo.
Yuri Blinov is a member of the Bureau of the Tourist Section of the UPI, and the leader of the group of hikers who, along with Igor Dyatlov's group, was traveling on the same train, then on the same bus, from Sverdlovsk through Serov - Ivdel to the village of Vizhay.
Tempalov received instructions from the secretary of the Ivdel city committee of the KPSS, Prodanov, to start searching for the missing hikers (and Prodanov himself was ordered from Sverdlovsk by regional party and state authorities).
From Sverdlovsk was ordered aerial search.
Prodanov requested the engineer of the Energo Lesokombinat Mikhail Timofeevich Dryakhlih, who communicated with Dyatlov group in the 41st district, to join the search.
Now the only fact that is clear is that Dyatlov group is missing.
It was still to be found what route did they take.
The search operation needed witnesses.
Mansi Nikolay Bakhtiyarov had said that at end of January a group of students (8 people, including one or two women) stayed overnight at his brother Petr Bakhtiyarov’s Yurt.
Mansi settlements in the area, such as Suyevat Paul, consisted of several yurts (nomadic tents), and all of the people were carrying the last last name.
The small settlement were called the Bakhtiyarov Yurt, Khandybin Yurt Anyamov Yurt...
“In the yurt we talked to the hikers.
They said that they are going to the mountains but didn’t specify which one exactly.
They only asked which way is better to go – on the river or some other way, and they went along the road toward the river".
Now we know that these students were from the city of Rostov and headed to Vels peak.
Igor Fomenko led this group.
In February 1959 the lead had to be checked although Bakhtiyarov Yurt was not on Dyatlov group way to Otorten.
But then again, the rescuers didn't have a map to follow.
And the photo of Bakhtiyarov’s family below was made by students from MGU in 1956 that were going to Mt. Otorten.

Vizhay, Bakhtiyarov Yurt and the direction of Otorten.
February 22
Engineer Mikhail Timofeevich Dryakhlih and UPI sports club chairman Lev Gordo landed in Vizhay with a helicopter.
They took forester Kuznetsov and flew to North Toshemka river to the yurt of Alexander Prokakopevich Anyamov (Mansi).
They talked to him.
Then flew to the upper sources the Vizhay river, above the tributary of Anchuchа.
They landed, Dryakhlih and Kuznetsov visited Mansi Bakhtiyarov 5 yurts.
After that they flew west to the Urals and saw a clear track of the Mansi dog sled that went from Bakhtiyarov yurt Vizhay river 1.5 km west to the Urals.
No traces of the missing hikers were found.

Moscow was made aware of the incident, and soon also sent a few experienced hikers.
Eugene Maslennikov, the head of the UPI sports club, was appointed to coordinate the search, together with Colonel George Ortyukov of the Army, who was in charge of overall logistics and helicopter support.
Slobtsov group of 11 assembled first and consisted mainly of UPI students: Boris Slobtsov, Vadim Brusnitsin, Stas Devyatov, Yuri Koptelov, Vyacheslav Krotov, Vladimir Lebedev, Vladimir Strelnikov, Vyacheslav Khalizov, Mikhail Sharavin.
The group also included two local residents - forester Ivan Pashin and hunter Alexei Cheglakov of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with experience in the taiga.
Several prison guards from the Ivdel LAG under the leadership of Captain Alexey Chernyshov and another seven officers of MVD (cops) under command of lieutenant Potapov have joined the search in the Dyatlov group.
Another three groups were formed in UPI from student volunteers under the leadership of Oleg Grebennik, Moises Akselrod and Boris Slobtsov.
Additionally, four Mansi hunters were hired to help and look for the missing group.
Moscow sent several specialists including E.P. Maslennikov, Baskin, Bardin and Shuleshko.
Slobtsov rescue group was transported on An-2 from Sverdlovsk to the military airfield of Ivdel with equipment and weekly supply of products.
Waited for a airlift by a helicopter but the weather was prohibitive.
Slobtsov group had to spent the night in Ivdel.

Search is Airborne!
The organization of rescue work from 24.02 was trusted to the head of the military department of the UPI Colonel Georgy Ortyukov.
Ortyukov was able to agree with the chief of the air force of the district on the allocation of an aircraft and two helicopters, and Maslennikov engaged in the preparation and organization of the actions of search groups from tourists and climbers.
Radio communication with the groups was set up with the help of the Nevolin and Yaburov radio operators of the Northern geological expedition (headed by Sulman).
With the help of regional and local authorities and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a group of military men, led by Captain Chernyshov (Chief of Staff internal troops unit 6602 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Ivdel), was involved in the search.
They brought guides Moiseev and Mostovoy with two rescue dogs, and later - the soldiers of the defence of Ivdellag under the command of Lieutenant Potapov and sappers Lieutenant Colonel Shestopalov with mine detectors.
Local indigenous Mansi also took part in the searches - the family of Kourikovs, Anyamovs from the village of Suyevat Paul and Komi hunters.
The Bakhtiyarov family led a search for the missing toursit in their habitats along the valleys of Vizhay and Toshemka.
The search groups were joined by some local residents: hunters, foresters (Pashin and Kuznetsov), military (Cheglakov).
Intensely questioned were hunters, researchers and local residents, whether they had seen Dyatlov group.
The rescuers cautioned how important is to inform the search headquarters of any signs of the missing group.
The search area was huge.
Short daylight (6 hours) and unfavorable weather conditions made it very difficult for aerial search and rescuers drop offs with military helicopters.
Sights of the hikers or their tracks from the airplane was nearly impossible, therefore it is very difficult to direct the search parties in the open spaces of the taiga.
For such large area the search efforts were clearly inadequate.
Headquarters tried to narrow the search zone tactically.
The main focus was on the most remote, complex and dangerous area from Mt Otorten to Oika-Chakour.
It was decided the first two search groups to land in the regions of Mt Otorten (the northern Slobtsov group) and Oika-Chakour (the southern Grebennik group), 70 km south of Ototen.
Moving towards each other, these groups had to find signs of Dyatlov group and meet on the ridge.
The search parties were given the task to find traces of the missing group: ski tracks and camp sites, follow them and rescue Dyatlov group.
Tactically, the search was built like this: after disembarkation in the search area, the group was divided into several units of 2-3 people, who, during the day covered in radial directions distance of several kilometers and return to their bivouac.
The purpose of the radial search was to determine in which direction did Dyatlov group go.
Then the group in its entirety moved to a new point on the supposed route of the hikers, equipped a new bivouac, and again searched radially.
It was expected sooner or later to stumble upon linear ski tracks left by Dyatlov group.
If this were the case the search parties were to follow them and find Dyatlov group camp site and eventually the place of the accident.
So it was decided to find the tracks first, and then the group itself.
Before the arrival of the radio operators, the instructions were given to the rescue groups by dropping canisters from the aircraft with instructions inside, and the searchers responded by writing on the snow a conventional sign (letter).
At this moment the search operations have the urgency of a rescue, which is life-saving.
Search operations will eventually find the dead, bury and clarify the causes of death, but everybody hoped for a favorable outcome.
One by one, the rescue teams went to the search area, landed from helicopters and moved through the taiga and mountains, looking for traces of the missing group.
In terms of scale and duration at that time, these rescue operations were unprecedented.
26612164158_14100f2a1e_o.jpg
Aircraft AN-2 at the airfield Aramil, Svredlovsk
February 23
In poor visibility, Slobtsov group was transferred by two helicopters to what turn to be Mount Pumsalnel 1055, a peak east of Otorten.
They were trying to get as close to Otorten as they could since this was the final destination of Dyatlov group.
They wanted to find out if they have been to Otorten.
Within five hours of the aerial search, a ski trail was spotted running along the bank of the Auspiya River and then in the direction of the ridge.
The trail appeared to be old.
After landing on Pumsalnel 1055 Slobtsov group descended towards Lozva river and secured the equipment in a bivouac.
Slobtsov wrote:
"On the top, where we were brought in by helicopter, we saw no tracks.
The next day was dedicated to some useless searches along the Lozva River.
That very day we came to the banks of the Auspiya, where we knew that Dyatlov was intending to create his storage depot.
Sure enough, on the left bank of this river we found some old ski tracks.
A radio message was sent by our search team operator, and we received the following message from our fellow rescue group: ‘We’re six or ten kilometers from the Auspiya and we’ve found narrow sports ski tracks, different to the wide tracks of the Mansi skis.
It’s a good trail made by a number of people, and is probably 10-15 days old, very easy to follow in the forest, but almost invisible in open places.
The track goes to the ridge, where of course it disappears due to wind and snow drifts."
38672693710_77b688df98_o.jpg
February 24
Next day Slobtsov rescue group reached the mountain and came to a conclusion that Dyatlov group never made it this far.
The students didn't find any traces, flags or anything else that would indicate recent ascend.
They crossed the source of Lozva trying to find tracks left by Dyatlov group.
They didn't find any but realized that tracks can be only preserved in the taiga.
On the open slopes of the mountain the skis didn't leave any trace.
Therefore they decided to look for footprints father down, in the taiga, and cross the forest part of Auspiya valley.
There laid another possible route of Dyatlov group.
On Feb 24 Slobtsov group moved south, to the valley of Auspiya river.

February 25
Slobtsov group going up and down Auspiya valley found 5 km down the river Dyatlov group camp site.
On the left bank of the river were barely noticeable snow-covered ski tracks.
Karelin group finished a trek to Mt Molebny Kamen from 9 to 24 Feb 1959.
They started in the area of the upper sources Niols river towards Mount Sampalchakhl 910 where Dyatlov group was supposed to end their trek at the same time.
Both groups had discussed meeting near Oykachakhl 1322.
When Dyatlov was no show Karelin made a big deal of it and they continued their way.
Two weeks later 25 Feb 1959 in a dining room at the train station of Serov city a man, calling himself a representative of Northern geological party, approached the hikers and asked casually "Aren't they searching for you?"
They answered warily "What do you mean search?
We are not due yet."
They called hastily Sverdlovsk and learned from Orlov about the missing Dyatlov group.
They were summoned to participate in the search operation.
Two of the members, Goryachko and Granin, were in no shape to continue and were sent back to Sverdlovsk.
The other six members: Vladislav Karelin, Georgy Atmanaki, Boris Borisov, Evgeniy Serditih, Vladimir Skutin and Vladimir Shavkunov joined the rescuers in Ivdel by train same day at 11 pm.
Next day 25 Feb Georgy Atmanaki and Vladimir Skutin were on board of the plane that flew to survey a point of disembarkation for Akselrod group near peak Otorten.

First signs of Dyatlov group

February 26
Grebennik group having checked the upper sources of Vishera river, passed to the eastern slope - moving south towards Mt Oykachakhl, so the next day they can ascend to its summit.
On their way to the top a plane flew above and dropped a canister with an order to retreat down along Toshemka river.

Slobtsov group split into three divisions.
The first one went south where Dyatlov group could have gone after their descent from Otorten, the second division examined Auspiya river for tracks and in the search for the storage site (labaz) of Dyatlov group.
The third division followed the trajectory of the Dyatlov group ski trail up Kholat Syakhl where they found the torn Dyatlov group tent.
Boris Slobtsov and Mihail Sharavin, together with Ivan Pashin the Mansi forester, noticed the dark shape of a tent covered by snow and a protruding stovepipe on the slope of the Kholat Syakhl.
Pashin was hesitant to approach the tent, so the two students went on alone.
Upon encountering the scene, they noted:
“The tent was situated on the northeast slope of the Kholat Syakhl Mountain.
It was about 300 meters from the summit and was pitched on a special flat area dug into the snow, with some snow walls around it for protection from the wind.
One end of the tent faced southeast towards the Auspiya River, the other faced northwest towards the Lozva River.”
Another rescue team described the slope as
uneven and descending, and crossed by three stony ridges parallel to one another before passing into a hollow’.
“As we approached the tent, we discovered the entrance was out of the snow, but the rest was buried.
In the snow around the tent, there were ski poles and one pair of skis.
The snow on the tent was 15-20 cm deep.
The snow had obviously drifted there and was very firm.
At the side of the tent there was a Chinese flashlight, which we later found belonged to Dyatlov.
But we couldn’t understand why the snow under the flashlight was ten centimeters thick, yet there wasn’t any on the flashlight itself.
I put the flashlight down and saw it was switched off.
I switched it on and there was light.
I didn’t notice it at the time, but I was later told that close to the side of the tent was a mark where someone had urinated, and next to the entrance of the tent was an ice axe.”
There were no bodies near the tent or inside it.
The students took the diaries and a flask of alcohol from the tent before returning to join the rest of the group.
Around 4PM that day, they met another group with a radio set and sent a message with the coordinates of the tent.
Understanding what happened at the tent is a very important node in the chain of events.
This is where the tragedy started to unfold.
For reasons that were never answered, the sides of the tent were cut from inside and it looks like the hikers chose this strange exit for leaving the tent completely ignoring the entrance, or did they?
The tent hung in the largest room in Ivdel Department of Internal Affairs to be photographed.
The prevailing opinion was that some vandals surprised and attacked the hikers cutting the tent in the process.
Vladimir Korotaev, who in 1959 was young investigator, recalling the events of that time, said that major break in the case was made almost by accident.
A woman was called to help mending his uniform.
She took one look at the tent and spoke with confidence that the cuts were made from inside.
This changed the course of the investigation entirely.
Forensic analysis confirmed the cuts were indeed made from inside.
The examination was conducted in Sverdlovsk Forensic Laboratory 3-16 April 1959 by senior forensic expert Henrietta Eliseevna Churkina.
Official protocol report on the Tent from the Dyatlov group:
Tent site is located on the North- eastern slope of mountain 1079 (Kholat Syakhl official term) meters at the mouth of river Auspiya.
Tent site is located 300 meters from the top of the mountain 1079 with a slope of 30°.
Test site consists of a pad, levelled by snow, the bottom of which are contains 8 pairs of skis (for tent support and insulation).
Tent is stretched on poles and fixed with ropes.
On the bottom of the tent 9 backpacks were discovered with various personal items, jackets, rain coats, 9 pairs of shoes.
There were also found men's pants, and three pairs of boots, warm fur coats, socks, hat, ski caps, utensils, buckets, stove, ax, saw, blankets, food: biscuits in two bags, condensed milk, sugar, concentrates, notebooks, itinerary and many other small items and documents, camera and accessories to a camera.
The nature and form of all (...) lesions suggest that they were formed by contact with the canvas inside of the tent with the blade of some weapon (presumably a knife).
39793894274_696e384c3e_o.jpg
The tent was suspended on a rope.
Two photos were made that consequently didn't fit together very well, but the problems didn't end there:
  • The side of the tent facing uphill is not photographed. We know there was at least one hole in the tent and Dyatlov jacket was found tucked in it.
  • The far right end of the tent is left out of the photos.
  • Part of the torn material on right side is covering a hole that is not measured.
  • The sizes of the holes are not precise but approximate. Why couldn't they be measured with precision?
  • How did Churkina decide which cuts were important and worth mentioning, measuring and showing on her scheme?
  • On the photos there is no ruler or something else to be used for a scale to measure the cuts. Rakitin found out what model is the chair that is in the left photo my chance, and made his measurements comparing with the size of the back 40 cm.
  • Churkina's drawing is not only overly schematic but also the positioning, sizes and number of cuts are not accurate.
Some of the cuts from inside didn't make it all the way through.

This is how Henrietta Churkina saw the tent. This drawing is part of the official file case.
This scheme depicts the state of the groups last minutes quiet routine.
Everything seems orderly and normal except the pile of shoes in area A.
Even if there some shoes there left for the night the chaos of the footwear piled on top is uncharacteristic for the scene.
The following shows the construction of Dyatlov's group tent:
  1. loop at the top of the tent for stretching ropes to avoid the sagging of the canvas
  2. Dyatlov's group tent was made from two 4-person tents and this is the double seam that connects them
  3. Igor Dyatlov created this suspended stove, on the drawing the chimney is assembled and the stove is showing suspended but the search party found them on the floor of the tent.

This drawing and most of the observations (but not all) on this page belong to Alexey Rakitin
Reconstruction of the general form of the tent with the stuff inside on their places the way they were found.
Not to clutter the scheme are omitted hikers 9 backpacks lying on the floor, 9 blankets (2 spread and 7 crumpled) and jackets.
For a scale is shown a man with the size of Yuri Doroshenko (height - 180 cm, shoulders - 55 cm).
40461760222_1b3b8db40d_o.jpg
A. to the left of the entrance, this is where almost all the footwear of the hikers was piled up - 7 felt boots (valenki) and 6 pair of boots
B. to the left of the entrance, household inventory - 2 buckets, flask with alcohol, 2 large axes, 1 small ax, cooking pots, rasp in its sheath, suspended stove, bags of biscuits, as well as a piece of loin approx. 3 kg
C. in the center of the tent to the right of the entrance were found 2 pair of shoes
D. in the far part of the tent where stored the food - cereals, cans, sugar, and wood for the stove
Near the entrance of the tent was found the satirical propaganda leaflet Dyatlov Group put together at the night of the incident "Evening Otorten".
The content of this document is indicative of the mood inside the group and the fact they had the time to write it.
Later on, an innocent reference from this flyer will become the sand grain that grew the pearl of the Yeti theory of their demise.
The entrance of the tent was looking south.
The north part was covered with 15-20 cm of snow.
It was concluded from general appearance and density that it was not a result of an avalanche but blown by the wind.
Near the tent, a pair of skis were sticking out from the snow (they couldn't remain like this if there was an avalanche), and at the entrance of the tent in the snow was an ice axe.
Near the ice axe was lying Dyatlov's jacket.
In the pockets was a pocket knife on a carabiner and a pocketbook with Zina Kolmogorova's photo inside.
The objects didn't shed any light about what happened, but it was strange that Dyatlov took off his jacket outside the tent.
On the side of the tent on top of 10 cm of snow laid Dyatlov's flashlight (made in China).
Boris Slobtzov picked it up and turned it on - the flashlight was in working condition.
One of the rescuers remembers "we couldn’t understand why the snow under the flashlight was 10 cm thick, yet there wasn’t any on the flashlight itself.
25633448677_973184fcf0_o.jpg
Unfortunately no one expected to find the tourists dead so there was no attempt to preserve or record the footprints of people around the Dyatlov Pass.
To this day there has been a discussion of exactly how many people were in this pass on that fateful day.
However judging by words of the people involved in the search and who took the lower right picture there were definitely 8-9 tracks of footprints left by tourists who wore almost no footwear.
Their feet pressed the snow and this left a characteristic "columns" of pressed snow with a footprint on top.
Members of the group walked in a single file with a tall men walking in the back.
His footprints partially covered footprints of his friends who walked in front of him.
Overall the path gave an impression of organized and uneventful descent down the slope of the mountain.
Several trails would deviate from the general direction, but then rejoin the group.
Other footprints were also discovered and photographed.
It is hard to say if these were left by someone else or rescuers themselves.

Elevated footprints

(1) male footprints with not very big steps
(2) small female footprints
(3) two overlapping male footprints, and
(4) larger male footprints that go on smae track as the girl's as if this person was covering or walking behind the group.
25633447547_35de8967a5_o.jpg
The only footprint of a boot, you can clearly see the heel of a shoe.
The imprint is not complete, the heel is deeper, the sole - to the middle, this is how a footprint looks like when a person is going downhill putting most of his weight on the heels.
Pertinent testimonies from the criminal case files:
Maslennikov
“When we finished taking inventory of the tent’s contents, we moved it to the helicopter pad, about 600- 700 m away.”
Radiogram:
“We managed to identify footprints of eight or nine people starting from the tent and going about 1 km down the slope, and then they were lost.
One person was in boots, the others were only in socks and barefoot.”
Some members of the rescue team claimed these footprints started from right outside the tent, and others that they started a little to the side of the tent.
Atmanaki
”There were no footprints right around the tent because when the Dyatlov group dug they had stacked the snow all around, and later this snow was drifted by the wind, thus covering all the tracks.
But thirty or 40 m down there was a file of very well preserved footprints.”
Slobtsov
”There were footprints of bare feet, but in socks.
Some were from valenki, and occasionally we could make out the tread of a ski boot.
All of these prints were raised higher than the actual wind-scoured surface of the slope.
We followed these prints from the tent in the direction of a spreading cedar, which was clearly prominent on the hill.
First we lost, and then we found, the tracks again.
They appeared again in the birch-tree undergrowth, and then they went down along the ravine which led to the Lozva River.”
Brusnitsin
”Footprints can be preserved in the mountains because of the way the wind works there.
You see the prints not as lowered imprints, but rather as raised columns, because the snow under the print is left compacted and cannot be eroded by the wind, but the area around it is scoured by the wind.
Then the sunrise makes the print area become even firmer, and in this way it can be preserved for the entire winter.”
Captain Chernyshov
”When they crossed a stony ridge where the tracks disappeared, but further down they appeared again, and then they were lost.
The prints were very distinct.
In some of the prints one could see whether the person was barefoot or in socks because you could see the toes.”
25633447417_9dfb5af0ec_o.jpg
Second flashlight was found switched off and battery discharged 400m down the slope
Students took three photo cameras from the tent, group diary, some alcohol and few minor things, and hurried down the mountain to the campsite that was already established at the base of the mountain.
Several Mansi natives joined the group.
Additionally Egor Semenovich Nevolin, a radioman, joined the search party.
At 6 pm they radioed back about their discovery on the last campsite of the Dyatlov group.
UPI informed them that a large search group with will be delivered by a helicopter to their location.
They would also deliver two large military tents for better comfort and security.
A detective would join the search and rescue effort with Colonel Ortyukov as well.
Several members started cooking dinner while everyone else was looking for clues how to continue the search.
They found 710 rubles and railroad tickets for the whole group.
Most took this as a good omen.
They assumed that criminals were not involved since they would steal everything of value.
During dinner Boris Slobtzov raised a toast for the health of his friends and expressed hope that they will be found soon.
Local forester, Ivan Pashin, was less optimistic about finding everyone alive and suggested that they should probably drink for the dead rather than the living.
Students found his words offensive and almost beat him up.
The thought of their friends simply perish like that in Siberian Taiga couldn't sink into their minds yet.
The next day - March 3, 1959 at Ivdel airport all things from the location where the tent was found were spread out and protocoled: 9 parka, 8 quilted jackets (vatnik), 1 fur jacket, 2 fur sleeveless vests, 4 shell pants, 1 cotton pants, 4 Scarf, 13 pairs of gloves (fur, cloth and leather), 8 pairs of ski boots, 7 pcs. boots (valenki), 2 pairs of slippers, 8 pairs of gaiters, 3 skating caps, 1 fur hat, 2 felt beret, 3 compass, 1 pocket watch, 2 Finnish knives (Tibo's and Krivo's) in their parkas, Kolevatov's Finnish knife in black leather sheath, 3 axes (2 large and 1 small in a leather case), 19 pcs overboots, 2 buckets, 2 pot, 2 flasks, 1 first aid kit.
There was also a significant number of small items (socks, foot clothes, masks, toothbrushes) taken out of the backpacks, making it difficult to determine who did they belong to.
Conclusions:
They left without outer clothes, hats, gloves and shoes.
Only exceptionally serious threat might motivate a group of 9 young and physically fit people urgently leave their shelter in the winter evening in a completely uninhabited forest.
The question apparently was: a retreat down the hill, or the immediate and imminent death at the camp.
This is not to say that the group was completely unarmed - hikers left in the tent three axes and three Finnish knives, and likely they had more knives with them since they cut the fir and birch trees later in the night.
The danger they faced in the camp was not such that could be confronted with axes and knives.
When the group was chased out of their tent they went down the slope to the forest, not to the storage site where they had left provisions before climbing Kholat Syakhl.
19 items (total weight of 55 kg) among them cereals, sugar, wood, Krivonischenko's mandolin, pair of skis used to mark the location, 2 pair of shoes (ski and warm), an ice axe (which is strange), a cap, mask and a shirt.
The storage seemed undisturbed. (read more)

The Cedar

February 27
The Head of the UPI sports club Maslennikov, Master of Sports and experienced hiker himself arrived at the tent and started to inspect it with great and meticulous care.
Before the arrival of prosecutor Tempalov, everything was "studied", "investigated" and rearranged into "its" place.
In addition, the students lifted the tent and pulled three pairs of skis out of the tent.
After that students continued their independent actions without the participation of the officials in this investigation.
After inspecting the tent, Atmanaki group went downwards, indicating to Slobtsov group the proposed place for the base rescue camp, and instructing them to go there and carry the equipment.
At about 11:00, at a distance of about 1.5 km from the tent, Sharavin and Koptelov found the first two bodies.
They were Yuri Doroshenko and Yuri Krivonischenko but at the time Doroshenko’s body was mistaken for Zolotoryov’s.
Colonel Ortykov reported in the radio message sent by the search team to Ivdel,
“His face is completely covered with snow but we’re now of the opinion he is Doroshenko, not Zolotaryov.
They are both the biggest men in the group.”
Neither Sharavin nor Koptelov were questioned during the investigation.
Sharavin says that, by the time the investigation was conducted, he was in a hospital and therefore couldn’t testify; even more reason why there should have been a statement by Koptelov.
The statement in the criminal files is by Slobtsov:
“While looking carefully around the area, Mihail (Sharavin) noticed something dark close to a cedar tree.
There was a flat area next to the cedar, and on this were remains of a fire.
About two or three meters from the fire they found Yuri Doroshenko, frozen without his clothes and with his hand burned; and a little to the side they found Yuri Krivonischenko in the same state.
Under Doroshenko’s body were three or four cedar branches of about the same thickness.”
39629007265_63be8d82a4_o.jpg
Krivonishenko and Doroshenko’s corpses partialy cleared from the snow.
Describing the condition of the bodies in the official record, Vasily Tempalov, the prosecutor in the criminal case, stated:
“Krivonischenko’s right leg has no footwear.
On his left foot there is a brown sock, torn.
Another sock like this was discovered half burnt next to the fire.
On the backs of his hands the skin is torn.
Between the fingers there is blood.
The index finger is also torn.
The skin of the left shin is torn and covered in blood.
There are no more visible injuries on his body.
Doroshenko has woolen socks on his feet, and over these socks another lighter sock.
His ear, lips and nose are covered in blood, and on his left hand, the middle finger is bloody.”
Brusnitsin
“Next to the bodies was a fire.
Nearby were more than ten small fir-tree branches, cut with a Finnish knife.
The lower dry branches, of about 5-cm diameter, had been cut from the cedar.
Some of these were lying next to the fire.
The snow around was trampled.”
Captain Chernyshov
“It’s possible to surmise that other people had since been by the fire.
We found various garments next to it rather than on the bodies, but we didn’t find any other bodies.
The trees near the fire had been cut with knives, but we found no knives with the bodies.”
Maslennikov
“Doroshenko and Krivonischenko, maybe with the help of others, had made a pretty good fire with the branches of fir-trees.
But that fire had been alight for maybe an hour and a half (8-cm branches of cedar had burned through).”
Atmanaki
“For about 20 meters around the cedar, there was evidence of young fir-trees being cut with a knife.
We saw around 20 such cut stumps.
But we didn’t see any of the cut branches left, except for one. It isn’t possible to imagine they were used to maintain the fire.
First of all, they are not good for firewood.
Second, around them were quite a lot of dry twigs and debris.’
Radiogram
“The volume of work done here in making this number of cuts suggests there were more people here than only these two.’
Maslennikov
“Several wool and cotton socks were scattered around the fire.
There was a woman’s handkerchief burned through in several places and some fragments of woolen clothes.
But we didn’t find the actual clothes themselves.
In particular, we found the cuff of a dark sweater there, not on the bodies.
Also, we found some money, eight rubles.”
The cedar tree had since become a focal point of Dyatlov Pass tragedy.
This place held many clues, some of them made sense, but most of them raise more questions than answers.
The testimonies of the individuals present at the scene are similar and they bear each other out.
Captain Chernyshov
“All the low branches of the cedar within arm’s reach were broken completely.
One was cut four or five meters high.
They were thick.
These types of branches are extremely difficult to break, even if, for instance, you hang on them with the whole weight of your body.”
Maslennikov
“The lower dry branches of the cedar were broken up to two meters high.
Somebody climbed the tree, because the branches four or five meters high were also broken.”
Atmanaki
“Most of the dry branches up to five meters were broken.
Beside this, the side of the tree facing the slope and the tent was completely cleared of branches.
These were not dry; they were young and were not used.
Some of them were just lying on the ground, and the others were hanging on the lower branches of the cedar.
It looked as if someone had created a viewing hide facing the site from where they came.”
The same day, at a distance of 1100 meters from the tent and 300 meters from the cedar, the body of Igor Dyatlov was found.
He was lying on his back, his head in the direction of the tent, with no hat, covered with snow, and with his arm leaning on a small birch sapling.
His dying pose can be described as dynamic, he was moving when he felt down.
25653863497_4c0c88a28b_o.jpg
Igor Dyatlov's body partialy cleared from the snow.
Maslennikov
“Dyatlov was lying 300 m away from the cedar towards the tent, next to a birch [sapling] with his face up.
His left hand was kind of dragged to his face as if he had tried to protect himself from the wind.
He was dressed better than Doroshenko and Krivonischenko.
He had a fur vest, his collared shirt, underwear, ski trousers and other clothes.
But he had no hat, gloves, boots or shoes.
Also, he was without his padded jacket or windbreaker.
On his wrist was a watch which had stopped at 5:31.”
Atmanaki
“The impression was that he tried to go up [the slope], judging by the way his body was situated; and next to his head was a cluster of small saplings in which he was probably stuck.
But if he had been heading down, then he would have had to go around them to get into the position where his body was discovered.”
Tempalov
“[Dyatlov’s] left elbow is leaning on a birch sapling, his head is clearly behind the birch and 5-7 cm from it.
There are no visible injuries on the body.
There is ice on the face and under the chin.”
Radiogram
“We’ve found the bodies of Dyatlov, Doroshenko, and Krivonischenko or Zolotaryov.
It is hard to say for sure because there are major injuries on their faces, hands and legs.
The prosecutor and Maslennikov are trying to identify them.”
Gennady Grygoryev (journalist)
“We came upon Mount 1079.
The weather was calm, and the mountain was as if it was frozen in ice.
The snow was compacted.
There were ice-covered rock craters all around.
The going was so slippery that, as I was carrying the camera and notebook, I almost broke my leg …
The corpses were frozen and broken like glass.
Finding the first corpses was devastating for the rescue teams, especially for the students.
They came to the site to save their friends, who they believed were only in trouble.
They were anxious to find them and bring help.
Initially, the students were very eager; they didn’t eat and worked up a sweat.
Then, once they realized their friends were dead, the tension let up.
Silence fell all around.”
Atmanaki
“On completely open, flat snow, swept by wind and snow, Akselrod’s dog became interested in something.
We dug a little, and under ten centimeters of snow we found an elbow.
The general location of the body was beneath 50cm of snow.
The head was pointing in the direction of the tent, and the whole position was typical for a person trying to walk or crawl uphill.
The team recognized Kolmogorova.”
Tempalov
“There are no trees for seventy meters.
The body lies, like the previous bodies, face to the ground on its right side.
The arms are bent under the body.
Both legs are half bent, and the right is tucked up into her stomach.
This gives the impression she was climbing.
Her face is covered in blood.
In the small of her back there’s blood.
It can be conjectured that she didn’t try to crawl forward, but was trying to maintain her position.
There appeared to be no injuries on her body with the exception of some grazes on her face.
She probably got these from falling down on the stony ridges.”

The body of Zina Kolmogorova was found by a rescue dog Alma (Альма) under 50 cm of snow.

“We found Kolmogorova with her head fractured – please call for weather information from the 30th of January to the 2nd of February, because the place and the pose of the bodies suggests a massive wind storm.
The prosecutor called for medical experts to see the bodies.
The strongest core of the group has been located, which means we must look for the others under the snow.
We’ve found Dyatlov’s document bag.”

In the following days, the search team began checks of the hollow, sweeping the 1500 meters between the cedar and the tent – 350 meters wide at the top near the tent and narrowing to 200 meters wide towards the cedar.
The whole brigade performed a methodical search, walking abreast, each forcing probes into the snow at one-meter intervals.
In addition to the probes, the area was covered by a thorough free search.
Another search was conducted four to five kilometers along the Lozva River.
The search produced nothing.
No other footprints or animal tracks were found.

Conspiracy or negligence
The date on the cover of the official Case file is 6 February 1959.
How’s this possible if Dyatlov group was not even due back by that time?
The conspiracy advocates point this as a clear evidence that the investigation started before the official discovery of the first dead bodies.
Even though the physical criminal case file was recovered, having suffered from age and frequent use, the initial date of 6 February 1959 was copied without correction on the front cover - documents are shown in the middle and right of the header image.
To the left of the header image you can see a witness testimony of Vasily Popov, the head of communications at Vizhai timber department, conducted by the local police chief on 6 February 1959.
There we have the same date, 3 weeks before the first dead bodies were found.
The conspiracy theory thickens - investigator Korotaev was secretly asked to conduct an unofficial investigation before the official one was launched.
To make matters worse (for the common sense) Tempalov’s decision to open a prosecution case dated 26 February is based on the discovery of the frozen bodies of Krivonischenko, Kolmogorova, Dyatlov and others.
These bodies were found next day - 27 February 1959.

Evgeny Vadimovich Buyanov
Evgeny Vadimovich Buyanov, writer-publicist, Master of Sports on mountain tourism, author of "Mystery of the Dyatlov group death" (2011) - ambassador of the avalanche theory, wrote to the Prosecutor’s office explaining that the obvious mistake in the date of Vasily Popov’s statement - 6 February was indeed 6 March, is carried on the cover of the Case file and it is a source of a lot of nonsense talk about a major cover up, that the officials knew about the accident before the actual discoveries of the bodies.
In his letter Byanov is asking to change: – the date on the cover of the Case file from 6 February 1959 to 28 February 1959, as well as – the date of Vasily Popov’s testimony from 6 February 1959 to 6 March 1959.
39647398775_2e534c1982_o.jpg
Buyanov's letter to Ivdel Prosecutor's office
One of Buyanov’s arguments is that in the decision to grant extension to the case the date of opening is clearly typed as 28 February 1959.
39647398935_abcd53e217_o.jpg
Decision to extend the investigation.
The answer from the Prosecutor’s Office is that “his arguments about the date on the cover being wrong are noted and will be taken in consideration in future correspondence on the case”.

The answer from the Ivdel Prosecutor's ffice to Buyanov's letter
Another letter follows from State Archives of the Sverdlovsk Region stating that
“Any corrections and clarifications in the records of investigative actions, including the change in the date of a document, can be made only on the initiative of law enforcement officers who conducted the investigation in the criminal case or on the instructions of a supervisory authority.
Similar requirements apply to making changes to the records on the cover of the criminal case.
Employees of the archival service do not have such authority.”

Responce to Buyanov's letter from State Archives of the Sverdlovsk Region
Kolevatov’s eldest sister Rimma Sergeevna Kolevatova is really disappointment with the pace of the investigation.
On 26 February she sent a telegram to Nikita Khrushchev.
"Dear Nikita Sergeevich By the scheduled date on February 9, a group of tourists from the Polytechnic Institute of Sverdlovsk did not return from an expedition in the Northern Urals Search began late only after 10 days had passed Regional organizations have not yet taken effective measures We earnestly request your assistance in the urgent search for our children.
Every hour counts now"
40500106822_98c9fdda60_o.jpg
Rimma Kolevatova telegram to Nikita Khrushchev
The telegram was shown in Kremlin on February 27. Rimma Kolevatova's in her testimony from April 14 clearly shows her knowledge that a telegram from the hikers sent from Vizhay was expected on February 12 with a notice about their arrival in Sverdlovks.
Kolevatov's sister, in her despair, made up and earlier date of the group’s expected return date to make the facts more ominous.
This telegram may have escalated the search and rescue operation to the highest circles.
Special report dated February 28 addressed to the Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR signed by the Minister of the Interior of the RSFSR is published below.

On January 28 the group left from village Burmantovo 70 km north of Mt Ivdel with provisions to last till Fevruary 14.
On February 19, the Institute appealed to local party and Soviet authorities asking for help in finding the missing students.

The storage (cache) aka labaz
Radio message sent by the search team:
“2 March – At 18.30 hrs the group of Slobtsov and the Mansi, Kourikov, found Dyatlov’s depot 400 m from the rescue camp.
In the storage were nineteen items of food with a total weight of 55 kg.
Also found were some medical supplies and Dyatlov’s warm outer boots, plus one pair of spare ski boots, a mandolin, a set of batteries and a lamp, and an extra set of skis.
The storage depot was found 500 meters below the top edge of the forest, in the upper sources of Auspiya river.”

Slobtsov and Kourikov at Dyatlov group labaz
The storage site where Dyatlov group left provisions for their way back and lighten their backpacks for the ascend.
In different sources they call the site "labaz".
Mansi rise platforms to store their game to pick it up later.

Photo of a Mansi labaz from Krivonischenko's camera
In other sources I have read that the items were left in an abandoned camp site.
In last entry of the group diary on January 31 Dyatlov wrote "I can't even start thinking of setting up a storage" (meaning they are that tired).
Their inventory was found like this marked with one ski propped in the snow and a gaiter slipped onto it.
Question remains who's ski is this, where is the other one, nobody mentioned anything about spare skis.
Yudin returned on his skis.
Did they damaged a ski and threw it away (nobody has found it), and used the spare to mark the storage?

Dyatlov group labaz the way it was found
The group had one ice axe yet two were found
38788954360_128a914eee_o.jpg
From the inventory of the Dyatlov group tent, circled in red is ice axe - 1 pc
The document above is from the Case files (sheet 17) “Protocol of inspection of things found at the scene of the incident” or where the tent was found.
There is a 1 pc of ice axe.
Next document in the Case file (sheet 18) dated March 3 "Things brought from the labaz" there is another ice axe.
It is not clear whether this ice axe was the same one found by the tent or if there was another one in the labaz.
38788954540_3544174c2e_o.jpg
Sheet 18 from Dyatlov group Case files - circled in red is ice axe 1
No ice axe was initially reported by those who found the storage (labaz).
Or, if there was indeed an ice axe in the storage this means the ice axe found by the tent does not belong to the group.
