Basic guestions about tragedy
Manti:
They didn't bring alcohol (at least according to Yuri Yudin's testimony and their inventory).
Another mistery then about the flask with the smell of alcohol found in the tent. Someone will say soldiers who staged the tent forgot it there. It could also be from the hikers, for example they drank a sort of fruit drink made from syrup (compote?)... maybe during 1 month its remains fermented in the flask? Although... it was too cold for that
GlennM:
I can imagine a hiker coming back from the forest saying, help! My friends have fallen and hurt themselves badly. I can not imagine those in the tent cutting their way out to help. I can not imagine them going to help injured friends 5,000 yards away with no boots, nor warm clothes on. I can not imagine going to rescue with no first aid supplies, blanket, nor rope. These were grade 2 hikers, experienced. I do not think it acceptable for the group to split up over such a distance. Footprints suggest all went to the forest together, yes?
Osi:
Why do we exaggerate the distance so much? Looking from the 880-altitude hill, Sharavin was able to see the snow-covered corpses of 2 Yuri. The distance from the 880-altitude hill to the cedar is almost equal to the distance of the tent to the cedar. It was not yet dark, and the cedar tree was perhaps an obvious target for those descending into the forest. ..And those above could still see them.

Where does it say this?

remained to the right, but at the same time we went to the right of the remnant (the memorial - ed. note). If you look here, this pass... further to the south... here is the pass, here is the mountain ... from here, it says 880 on these maps. They say that the altitudes have changed since. Here it the 880. Here somewhere is the remnant... we’re probably literally... or maybe, since we got up from there (map), we even like that ... Because we went down in that direction. when we climbed here began to look down, it became clear that there ... there weren’t such birch trees yet, like now, after 48 years - everything is overgrown with birch trees, but then this cedar stood out very well, it was like some kind of that hillock. Such a little mound but it stood out very prominently, so we went there right away. We arrived at the cedar and then found them. Because there the snow was swept out under the cedar and it was very clear, the undergrowth was small, there was a lot of snow, the bushes were visible and we were skiing down (map), these bushes were not in the way.

AK: Who found them? Because in one book it says that you and Slobtsov show up later, when the bodies were already found?
MSh: In one book it says that we didn’t find the cedar, but allegedly Brusnitsyn with someone, this can't be true, because it is not something that you forget, we were the first to go together, there was nobody else there, with Yuri Koptelov. We walked side by side, went down together and literally 10 meters, or 15, before reaching the cedar, we saw something black, because the blanket was on top, it was not covered, it stood out. We approach and immediately... then we began to observe. We see traces of the fire, and the fire was on the same side [of the cedar] from which the guys were lying, and some branches were broken, we could see this. See here is this book... in the dictionary it says: “CEDAR is an eternally green tree. Under a huge cedar growing on the slope of the mountain on February 26” - this is wrong, it was not the 26th, but the 27th,- "Slobtsov discovered two bodies." Slobtsov was not here on the 26th. We found the tent with him, this is the day before. And this happened on the 27th and we were with Yuri Koptelov.
