The pass in the Northern Urals, located between Mount Kholatchakhl and the nameless height of 905, has found a sad fame for itself. It was there that in 1959 a group of nine tourists died under strange circumstances. Now the mystery of the death of tourists at the mystical Dyatlov pass has been solved.
Ever since a group of Ural students under the leadership of Igor Dyatlov died at the pass under mysterious circumstances, this area has been attracting extreme tourists like a magnet. The heavily mutilated bodies of young people were then able to find only three months later. It is noteworthy that some of the bodies of the victims had numerous abrasions and injuries caused by a blunt weapon, but an autopsy showed that everyone who took part in their last expedition died due to hypothermia.
Then the criminal case concerning the investigation into the death of the Dyatlov group was closed, and as the cause of death, a spontaneous force was indicated, which the young people could not overcome. And, although the version of the investigation then seemed to many to be incorrect, it was often criticized, but it was never revised.
The interest in investigating the tragedy that happened more than 65 years ago has returned again after a number of new incidents and death at the pass. One of such cases happened not so long ago, when climbers from Perm found the body of an unknown man in the mountains. Later it turned out that the deceased is a hermit Sergei from the Chelyabinsk region.
Researchers put forward various versions of why people die so often at the Dyatlov Pass. In particular, according to one of the founders of the "In memory of the Dyatlov group" fund, Yuri Kuntsevich, the group of students had a poor level of training, and severe weather conditions only increased the likelihood of a tragedy.
Another scientist, Evgeny Buyanov from St. Petersburg, also said that he managed to reveal the secret of the death of the Dyatlov group. According to some media reports, the expert claims that even if all the materials of the criminal case were immediately opened, speculation would still take place. However, now, according to the researcher, we can say for sure that the secret of the Dyatlov Pass has been revealed. The reason for the death of students was an avalanche that descended at night, plus an Arctic cyclone.
Buyanov conducted a detailed study of materials related to the tragedy of 1959, after which he came to the conclusion that the young people made a number of fatal mistakes, which eventually led to their death. It should be noted that the scientist was one of the few specialists who had access to criminal cases on the death of nine people at the Dyatlov Pass. It turns out that the members of the group had no experience of climbing in cold weather, and Dyatlov himself made such transitions only four times.

In his work "The Mystery of the Death of the Dyatlov Group," the expert states that students should not have set up a tent and spent the night on the slope of the mountain. The fact is that usually during the day the snow on the mountainside melts, and at night it turns into ice. When new snow falls from above, the whole mass turns into a kind of "multi-layer board". When young people cut the base of this layer, cutting down a place for a tent, they created an emergency situation.
Buyanov is sure that such a mini-avalanche covered the Dyatlov group. When several people managed to get to the surface, they found themselves in 30-degree frost and wind without warm clothes. All their equipment was left under a layer of dense snow. Young people tried to dig up the tent, but it was almost impossible to do this without tools, since the snow in the avalanche is much harder. Even with a shovel, it is very difficult to dig out a dense layer.
Further, the researcher believes that after the group failed to get to the things, Dyatlov decides to lower the wounded down, and then return back to continue excavations. Having descended a little lower, the group makes a shelter of branches and snow, where six people remain, and also lights a fire to warm up a little from the strong wind.
The leader of the group himself and two of the strongest students return to the piled-up tent to dig out equipment and warm clothes. However, tired people die on the slope from hypothermia. Below, their comrades in agony from the incredible cold, in order to somehow warm themselves, throw themselves into the fire, thereby receiving burns to their hands and feet. Later, they also die from hypothermia.
Meanwhile, the head of the "Memory of Dyatlov Group" does not quite agree with the version of Buyanov and his followers. As Kuntsevich said in an interview with one of the Internet portals, “Evgenia Buyanova got stuck in an avalanche. He has never been there in winter and is unfamiliar with the real conditions. He even has solar activity intertwined with the version, as if in other years this activity did not exist. Moreover, he doesn't listen to opponents at all."
According to Kuntsevichv, many want to close the "case of the Dyatlov Pass", hush it up and put it in the archive. The expert himself also does not refute the version that Dyatlov's group was simply "removed". The researcher is waiting for some materials from the secret archives to be revealed now. But in order to demand these documents, it is necessary that the investigation be resumed again. It is quite possible that the Dyatlovites were liquidated as unnecessary witnesses of nuclear tests, so there is no reason for the relevant government agencies to notify the public about this.
It is worth noting that the Sverdlovsk climbers recently provided evidence in favor of the technogenic version of the tragedy. Not so long ago, during one of their expeditions, they discovered wreckage of military equipment. Now they claim that the Dyatlovites died as a result of a rocket explosion. According to Evgeny Tamplon, a member of the Russian Geographical Society, it looks like it was the R-7 rocket, which was being tested at that time, or the so-called Tempest project - an intercontinental cruise missile.
There is also another version of the mysterious death of students, according to which young people died as a result of exposure to ultrasound. It was he, according to some researchers, who forced the group to leave the tent and literally "blew up" the skulls of some Dyatlovites.
According to another version that has nothing to do with conspiracy theories, testing of new weapons and aliens (this also took place), we are talking about plasmoids. These are the closest relatives of ball lightning, they form an advantage over tectonic faults and are extremely dangerous for humans. This theory arose after some of the local residents reported that they saw mysterious glowing balls in the sky above the place of death of the Dyatlov group. Mysterious objects could be, if not UFOs, then certainly no less dangerous plasmoids.
Buyanov, however, is sure that there is nothing supernatural in these luminous balls, and categorically refutes the version about plasmoids. He stated that the flares in the sky could well have been rockets launched from Baikonur. At the same time, the scientist believes that none of these missiles could fall and thereby kill the Dyatlov group.
There is no doubt that the "mystery of the Dyatlov Pass" will continue to intrigue and excite the minds of many researchers, and the tragedies in this area will only multiply various rumors and speculations. By the way, in the language of the Mansi indigenous people, the Dyatlov pass has a name - "Otorten". It literally translates as "Don't go there." Also, the Mansi elders claim that there is an even more ancient name for the pass - Holat-Syakhyl or "Mountain of the Dead". According to an old legend, nine shamans once perished there and joined the dark forces.
In Hollywood, they plan to make a film about the tragedy of 1959.
