The Mystery of the Death of the Dyatlov Group

The story of the death of 9 tourists at the foot of Dead Mountain, where, according to legend, 9 Mansi found their final resting place, is shrouded in mysteries and mysticism. For more than half a century, debates have been ongoing about the causes of that tragedy: anomalous natural phenomena or technological factors? The members of the Dyatlov group – victims of a natural force that they were unable to overcome, as stated in the resolution to close the case, or of a deliberate crime? What kind of fireballs did local residents see in the sky that night? How do we explain the fact that the bodies of three victims, born on January 11, 12, and 13, were found lying in the same order? What made them cut the tent and flee the campsite in terror without looking back? How do we account for their numerous injuries, mutilations, and signs of radioactive contamination? Are there any pages in this story that have been closed by the authorities to prevent information leaks? The authors of this book conducted their investigation, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it began on fresh trails, as it was Boris Slobtsov's search group that found the Dyatlov group's tent and the first victims. By interacting with other searchers, analyzing all available material, including hard-to-access information, and separating false facts from the truth, the authors present the most convincing version to date of the tragedy that unfolded at the foot of Dead Mountain.
