In the studio of the talk show "Let the Talk" presented new details of the investigation of the mysterious death of tourists at the Dyatlov Pass in 1959. In the second part of the discussion, the guests discussed the personality of one of the most controversial members of the expedition - Semyon Zolotarev, the involvement of the Mansi people in the tragedy, and also gave arguments “for” and “against” the influence of natural phenomena on the sad outcome of the expedition.
In the studio of the Let Them Talk program, they again discussed new details related to the investigation of the mysterious death of tourists at the Dyatlov pass - 60 years after the tragic incident, what happened is still a real mystery. The second part of the talk show was built around the personality of Semyon Zolotarev, the oldest member of the expedition, a front-line soldier and a physical education teacher. It is known that the body of a member of the group lay in a stream for a long time, which made it unrecognizable even for his relatives. However, strange tattoos were found on the hands of the deceased, which no one had seen during his lifetime.
In addition, according to the editor-in-chief of "KP" Vladimir Sungorkin, Zolotarev's biography is also full of "contradictions." He noted that, although according to the documents, a member of the Dyatlov group was listed as Semyon, he asked to be called Alexander, which surprised those present in the studio. The reporter added that the archives found say that he was awarded many awards, but after an investigation it turned out that some of the listed "regalia" did not belong to him at all.
Sungorkin was joined by KP journalist Natalya Varsegova, who also revealed new details about the mysterious Semyon. According to her, inconsistencies in the physical education teacher's case aroused great suspicion, in connection with which the editorial office appealed to the relatives of the deceased, who agreed to carry out the exhumation.

According to her, inconsistencies in the physical education teacher's case aroused great suspicion, in connection with which the editorial office appealed to the relatives of the deceased, who agreed to carry out the exhumation.
Two medical examinations were carried out, during which they took samples of the remains of the deceased. It turned out that according to the results of one of them, the relationship with Semyon's relatives was not established, which means, as the host Dmitry Borisov noted, someone else could be buried in the grave. Varsegova, in turn, added that the grave in which Zolotarev was allegedly buried was not actually registered in his name.
The stepdaughter of Semyon appeared in the broadcast studio, who spoke about her father's "tough" character. She also noted that there were never any tattoos on Zolotarev's body. “He was very tough. I have in my memory a lot of unpleasant episodes associated with this person. It was a childish insult. He demanded some kind of discipline all the time,”the woman admitted.
Among the guests of the program was Anatoly Stepochkin, a tractor driver in those very ill-fated regions where a tour group died in 1959. According to him, at that time he met a representative of the Mansi people, who told him a shocking story. Passing the tent, Stepochkin saw a man emerging from it, with whom he then struck up a long conversation. He told him about nine tourists who had desecrated their holy place, which was in a cave, where the Mansi offered sacrifices.
“Tourists have plundered our holy place. The shamans learned about this, gathered the hunters and hunted them down. When [presumably the members of Dyatlov's group] went to bed, they went to the tent and let the dope in. After some time, they were all killed, - quoted the local Anatoly. "Once they have done us evil, we responded with evil."
The talk show host noted that the version of the involvement of the Mansi people in the tragedy on the night of February 2, 1959 in the area of Mount Kholatchakhl in the Northern Urals had been repeatedly put forward by the investigation, but was later declared invalid. "I think this [assumption] is in the section of folk myths," Sungorkin emphasized.
A representative of the Mansi people Valery Anyamov, whose father participated in the search for Dyatlov's group, also appeared in the studio. “I was little then, but the only thing I remembered when the bodies were found was that the color of their bodies was red. Then a guard was assigned to them, which struck me as a little strange: from whom should these corpses be guarded? - the guest asked. He also confirmed Borisov's information that the Mansi saw how, after Dyatlov's group climbed the mountain, the military allegedly followed them.
Among the participants in the discussion was Yevgeny Buyanov, the author of the book "The Secret of Dyatlov's Death". The appearance of the guest caused a stir in the studio, as what the researcher said was absurd to many. He stated that there was "no crime" in the case of the tragedy of the tour group. According to Buyanov, there are two reasons for what happened: one is associated with the carelessness of the expedition participants and the descent of a snowfall on the tent, and the other - "a powerful Arctic cyclone."
Evgeny's statements sparked a controversy in the studio. Some doubted the reliability of his arguments: as one of the guests noted, if the cause of death really lies in an avalanche, then how can the fact that the expedition members ran out of the tent “naked” can be explained. On January 23, 1959, nine students, led by a fifth-year student Igor Dyatlov, went on a ski trip to the North Urals mountains. From the final point of the route - the village of Vizhai - on February 12, the group was supposed to send a telegram to the institute's sports club, but there was no news. A search operation was organized, during which the bodies of the first victims were found. Three months after the initiation of a criminal case on the death of the tour group, it was closed.
