?No route book?
?........................................................
Without a protocol and a copy of the route book, Gordo could not control the movement of the group.’
.........................................................
At copies of documents there is not enough information that it would be possible to influence somehow management to team at route. It is the usual help information. Where they have gone (without details), how many the person, dates started and the terminations, what is universaty which organizer this travel. Transfer of this document should confirm the fact of the official beginning of action.
..........................................................
Details of a Dyatlov`s route knew in supervisory commission of travellers by city (Sverdlovsk) - Maslennikov, Korolyov, Karelin - for example. It`s learn details of travel and it was simple to find maps.
Maps (if it is possible so to name it), and to be exact schemes of a Dyatlov`s route, were to him at route together.
Manage movement and acts of team could nobody, except Dyatlov. Because it is very far from any points of residing of people and transport ways. There where walk Dyatlov1s team to the nearest settlement (where lived Mansi) there were more than 80 km (~ 50 mi). To that place where it is possible to move on a motor vehicle more than 150 km (~ 95 mi)
............................................................
In my hypothesis N°2, I suppose that there was an attack (cf. Eduard Tumanov, Per Inge Oestermoen...) and that the attackers departed from Settlement 41. Also I notice that :
1 - Maslennikov, Korolyov and Karelin had all three read and approved the Dyatlov`s route.
2 - In Dubinina's diary it is written, for the date of January 26:
In general, we had to go to 2nd North, but it was getting dark and
we decided to stop at the 41st. At 4.30 we were met very hospitably....
In this context, the exact meaning of "in general we had to go" is not very clear. However, this is a detail that is not insignificant.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
• It can therefore be assumed that Maslennikov, Korolyov and Karelin had planned that hikers would pass close to Settlement 41
without stopping and continue on to 2nd North.
In the abandoned houses of 2nd North, the hikers
met no one else (except for Uncle Slava who returned to Settlement 41 with Yuri Yudin on January 28, 1953).
• In Settlement 41 the hikers
stayed 23 hours and 30 minutes and met a large number of "local workers" or loggers".
There were the 12 guys seen in that picture and a lot of others.
«...there are no women at all, except two. The guys are all young, as Igor noticed...»
«...No order whatsoever, but people are everywhere....»
«...Loggers are working poorly, work and life conditions are bad. Are they paying poorly? Strike....»
«...The workers are very different....»
«...But there are widely erudite and even If you meet them in the city, you would never have thought that this person all his time in the taiga....»
«...Until 1953, they threw in jail everybody that they could catch, innocent, then they figured it out and cleaned up, everybody was given rushed amnesty...»
• In other words, in 1959, some ex-zeks who had nowhere else to go, were living in Vizhay and in the
numerous special settlements in the surroundings.
So there were certainly a number of men in the Settlement 41 who had
numerous good reasons to hate the communism, the oppressive Russians and the criminal Soviets. • On the other hand the Dyatlov group were certainly loyal Soviet citizens. They were not suspected of anything. They were ideologically well-represented by Dubinina.
So Aleks Kandr and Sabine Lechtenfeld wrote :
"...Dubinina was also a very forthright and
outspoken girl who held strong opinions. Her enthusiasm could be summed in a phrase she used from time to time : "for the Motherland
For Stalin ! It was said to her that
she would not hesitate to tell someone staight to their face if she thought they were wrong in any way.
This is in complete agreement with the opinion of Arhipov Oleg Nikolaevich (Author of a monograph on forensic experts in the Dyatlov case): "Well, it is known that Lyudmila Aleksandra Dubinina was sharp on the tongue and principled.
She would not keep her mouth shut.".
