In this article, I decided to continue the topic of the involvement of representatives of the Mansi people in the death of the Dyatlov group. I want to say right away that I am not a categorical supporter of this version, I just want to consider everything in order. So.
Continuing to study the materials of the case, I drew attention to the testimony of the Mansi regarding the tracks of the ski track they saw during the hunt. Already in these testimonies there is an open inconsistency and confusion, which for some reason the investigator does not pay attention to.
Here is what we can read in the interrogation protocol of April 2, 1959, Nikolai Pavlovich Anyamov, born in 1936, of Mansi nationality:
It all fits together. Indeed, it turns out that Anyamov could see the traces of the skis of the Dyatlov group only on the Auspiya river. They simply did not go further, at least according to the prosecutor's office.
But when we read the protocol of interrogation of March 23, 1959, another representative of the Mansi people, Andrey Alekseevich Anyamov, we are surprised:
How so? What traces of narrow skis he could see along the Lozva river, because it is located ABOVE the Auspiya river and practically under the Otorten mountain. This can be seen on the map.
At the same time, the direction of the track is surprising. According to the witness, the people who laid the track walked towards the Auspiya river. So we were moving FROM Mount Otorten!

Another indirect proof that traces of a ski track were found in the area of the Lozva River are the testimony of another Mansi Bakhtiyarov Pavel Vasilyevich dated March 16, 1959:
Why does he suddenly say completely out of place that he has never been in the upper reaches of the Lozva River? Did the investigator ask him about this? Why did you ask? After all, we are talking about the prayer mountain, which is located in the upper reaches of the Vizhai River. And here Lozva? At the same time, one must understand that Mount Otorten is located in the upper reaches of the Lozva River. Between the upper reaches of these rivers there are about fifty kilometers. Bakhtiyarov accidentally made a slip? He wanted to say that he was not in the upper reaches of the Auspiya River, but said Lozva, because they are not far from each other, but was it there that he met with Dyatlov's group? Or he knew they were seen there.
And then such a picture emerges. Dyatlov's group went the intended route and reached Otorten where they spent the night and wrote a battle sheet, then went even further and made some kind of mistake in relation to local sanctuaries. For example, they stumbled upon a burial place and took a souvenir. And on the way back near the cedar they were overtaken
I circled the height 1079 on the slope of which there was a tent. and the arrow indicated approximately the place of death.
Why didn't you reach the storage? It was late, there were still products, so it was decided to walk to the storage in the morning.
I believe that only in this situation can we consider the version of the involvement of Mansi. Under no other circumstances this could have happened. No matter how the Mansi treated the newcomers, they just wouldn't kill nine people just like that.
And I repeat once again that I am confident in the accidental death of the guys. This most likely happened as a result of unpredictable events, and not as a result of a planned murder.
