The story "Expedition" # 3

As the writer Igor Sobolov, who dealt with the case of the tragic end of the expedition, claimed that some of the other four took the clothes of those who died at the beginning. Some of them had cuts, as if they had been ripped off by force. Zolotarev was wearing Dubinina's fur coat, and she was wearing Krivonichenko's underwear. The Frenchman was wearing two watches, one at 8:14 a.m. and the other at 8:39 a.m.

Despite many unanswered questions, the investigation was closed at the end of the month, and the documentation was sent??to the secret archive. Interestingly, visiting this place was banned for the next three years.

"I was 12 years old at the time, but I remember how deeply the incident had an impact on society, despite the efforts of the authorities to stick together the teeth of researchers and family members of the victims," says Yuri Kuntsevich, head of the Dyatlov Yater Foundation, which is still trying to solve the mystery.

Over the years, many people have been trying to figure out what really happened on the night from the first to the second of February 1959 on the slope of Kholatchakhl. Some, like Sobolova, were fascinated by the tragic fate of the skiers. "The students, who have become legends, bravely resisted the unequal battle with the unknown on the slopes of Kholatchakhl and showed that they can confidently withstand it," he wrote.

The kind of seekers. The tent was carved from the inside, and around it there were traces of skiers who ran away from it completely unprepared for the difficult conditions.

But what is the true nature of the "unknown" that they fought and unfortunately lost? Why did they run away from the tent and why did they decide to run away in the middle of the night even though they had already lit a bonfire? Why was the second group resting under several meters of snow? There are many theories.

One of the first to launch an investigation at the beginning of the case was the murder of the Mana locals for violating the holy land. Such assumptions were not groundless, because the investigation of the 1930s could be well remembered by the investigators. During this period, the Mana shaman allegedly drowned a geologist who climbed a mountain that his people considered forbidden. However, in the case of Dyatlov's group, neither mountain was important to the Mans, not being sacred or forbidden places. It may be a surprising coincidence that the name Ortoten means "don't go there" in the local language, while Cholatczachl translates as "Mountain of Death".

In any case, these names may be useful for traveling people, and not for any other use. In addition, the nearest village of people was about 100 km away, while they themselves maintained fairly friendly relations with the Russians and did not venture into the winter areas where the students went because they were not connected to their hunting grounds or pastures.
