The dogs living in the house were exhausted, and there were no traces of the person himself.
Rescuers of the Arkhangelsk Rescue Service went to the Primorsky District of the region to find a mysteriously missing man who lived as a hermit by a forest lake. The alarm was sounded by his acquaintances, finding the hut in disarray, and the dogs very hungry.
- On January 18, a man called the regional rescue service and said that his uncle, who constantly lives in a hut on Lake Zolotitskoye, disappeared in the forest, - the press service of the Arkhangelsk Regional Rescue Service reported.
According to his nephew, his uncle has long lived in the wilderness. His relatives or friends bring him food and necessary things. After the New Year, friends visited him and, having left on January 6, left the owner in order and health. However, other people who arrived at the hut on the 18th found a complete destruction - the windows in the building were broken, things were scattered.
The hermit dogs were severely emaciated. Two nephews, who arrived at their call, found that their uncle had left warm clothes in the hut. There was wood in the stove, as if they were going to heat it, but did not have time. At the same time, the tracks went 500 meters through the swamp, but led back to the house. Where the man disappeared, they did not manage to understand.
On January 20, a search group of rescuers left Arkhangelsk in search of the missing person.
