Today there are many versions of why tourists died in the Northern Urals in 1959. The exact reason for the tragedy is unknown, so it remains only to study the opinions of experts and choose among them the most plausible.
Currently, 8 major versions of the causes of the death of the tourist group of Dyatlov have been put forward. Each of them deserves attention.
Avalanche
According to this version, it is assumed that the tent of tourists was in the place of avalanche. After she was under a load of snow, many participants were seriously injured. Trying to evacuate to the surface, young people cut a tent wall with a knife. Since there was nothing to warm them in the future, the participants of the camping trip began to behave inappropriately from hypothermia.
Sound
There is a version that the sound effect of anthropogenic or natural character led to the deaths of young people and girls.
Runaway Prisoners Attack
True, it is rejected by many scientists due to the fact that tourists did not steal money or warm clothes. In addition, no traces of anyone else were found around the tent. And in the winter of 1959, in the area of the tragedy, escapes of prisoners were not revealed.
Death at the hands of local residents
After interviewing local residents, the investigators were able to find out that the place where the tourists were located was completely unsuitable for hunting, so Mansi had no reason to go there. In addition, the locals were very friendly towards any guests and even offered them an overnight stay.
Quarrel between the participants
This version also has a place to be. Here are just doubts about it are caused by numerous photographs that were taken earlier on the road - tourists are having fun on them, hugging and are generally very positive.
Belt of Zolotarev
A cloth belt was found at the scene of the tragedy, which was completely devastated. There is a version that the killers specifically pursued the group in order to take possession of the contents of this accessory. All other participants, according to its adherents, were destroyed as witnesses.
Pilot Weapon Strike
This is evidenced by the increased radioactivity of the clothes of some members of the group, fragments of rockets found nearby, as well as a strange mysterious railway line, which rests directly on the mountain.
There is also a version that tourists have witnessed some secret military trials. Further, the military was incised natural death. This version easily explains the brick color of the skin of the corpses, the torn tongue of one of the participants, as well as the lack of blood. Perhaps they were moved in a frozen state (in the process and the tongue broke off), and then washed in the river.
Spy attack
There is a version that some members of the campaign were secret KGB officers and had to transfer samples of radioactive material to a group of foreign spies. But they, in turn, revealed the real activities of young people and decided to destroy them. It is assumed that under the threat of firearms the tourists were forced to undress and leave the tent, and then, when they managed to organize themselves and not die in the cold, they finished off with improvised means. Perhaps young people were also tortured in order to obtain information.
Which of these versions is the most plausible, each reader can decide for himself, having studied all the known facts.
