The Chivruay tragedy haunted the relatives of the dead climbers for many years. Viktor Voroshilov was among those activists who were investigating the incident, but a few weeks ago he was killed under mysterious circumstances.
Back in 1973, a tragedy occurred that still remains unsolved. A group of ten students from the city of Kuibyshev decided to conquer the difficult pass of the Kola Peninsula. The climbers had been preparing for the hike for several months, but once they were in the mountains, they suddenly stopped communicating. Their mutilated bodies were not immediately found. According to eyewitnesses, the unfortunates had no eyes, and grimaces of horror froze on their faces.
When the incident became public, the deceased students began to be compared with the Dyatlov group. Allegedly, the actions of both those and other climbers looked strange and illogical.
Viktor Voroshilov, whose cousin was among the members of the same group, has been investigating the tragedy for several years. He was sure that the Soviet authorities were involved in the incident, specially hiding the details of the death of the climbers. It was Victor who turned to the film crew of the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live broadcast for help. And so, when the team of journalists was ready to go to the Chivruay Pass, it turned out that Voroshilov had died.
For a long time, the only version of the tragedy was that it was an accident. Allegedly, the weather on the Kola Peninsula has changed dramatically, and the climbers were simply not ready for a sudden drop in temperature. The climatic anomaly caused them to panic, and as a result, all students died from frostbite.
However, this version does not explain why the bodies of the climbers were mutilated. Questions are also raised by the fact that the information about what happened is still classified, and there is no access to these archives.
Researcher of the secrets of the XX century, Vladimir Nagaev, is sure that the tragedy happened due to the research of the Soviet government.

The experiment, which the mountaineers were allegedly doing in the mountains, did not go according to plan, which became the cause of their death. But the traveler Timofey Bazhenov categorically disagrees with the opinion of the researcher of the secrets of the 20th century. He believes that the tragedy happened due to poor preparation of students for climbing such a difficult route.
“They had homemade shoe covers, although there are special suits for walking in the mountains in strong wind conditions. Skiing at night in homemade clothes in a headwind of 25 meters per second is an unrealistic task,”Timofey emphasized.
Recall that during the investigation of the death of the Dyatlov group, the main version of what happened was an accident, which allegedly happened due to insufficient preparedness of climbers for the ascent. The results of the study indicated that Igor Dyatlov and his comrades froze on the slopes.
The causes of death of the climbers from the Igor Dyatlov group are still being investigated.
Vice-President of the Astronomical and Geodetic Association of Russia Sergey Smirnov put forward one of the most original hypotheses of what happened at the Chivruay pass. In his opinion, the tragedy happened not because of the mistake of the climbers themselves, but because of the place in which they were. In the area of the Chivruay Pass, many tourists and local residents experience measuring - a kind of psychosis, in which a person begins to have hysterical fits. “Strange things happen in this place: equipment breaks down, batteries run out. I have experienced something similar myself. When climbing in a neighboring area, I lost my memory for several hours. I still don't know what happened to me,”the scientist said.
But the historian Andrei Vedyaev, who was in these mysterious places in 1976, said that not far from the pass he encountered a certain wild creature. The monster wandered into the camp at night, and in the morning Andrei discovered that his shirt, hanging on a tree, was as if torn by claws.
“The group passed the stream and had to stay in the forest for the night, but for some reason they went further into the mountains. Something frightened them, because of panic, they began to lose control over their emotions. This explains everything,”the historian emphasized.
The version of the Bigfoot attack is also being considered by enthusiasts who are investigating the death of Dyatlov's group. The fact is that all the climbers who died in the vicinity of Mount Kholatchakhl had abrasions and cuts on their bodies, some of which were received after death.
At the place where the bodies were found, there is now a memorial plaque.
Viktor Voroshilov, who had been researching the tragedy all these years, believed that otherworldly forces could help him in the investigation. He even turned to the esotericist Svetlana Burenok. Surprisingly, she managed to predict that a tragic death awaited Victor. Despite all the warnings, the man continued his work, but a few days after meeting with Svetlana he was killed.
So far, the secret of the death of climbers at the Chivruay Pass remains unclear. And yet, relatives of the victims hope that someday they will be able to get to the bottom of the truth.
