« Last post by Morski on August 31, 2021, 09:56:24 AM »I have noticed that Sarapuk is missing as well since april/may.
I think it is really odd for such an active member of our community to stop posting just like that, and I do hope he is well and there are other reasons for this.

General Discussion / sarapuk
« Last post by Teddy on August 31, 2021, 09:12:40 AM »Jean Daniel Reuss alerted me to the fact that sarapuk has disappeared from the forum without saying goodbye.
Jean Daniel Reuss wrote to me:
And I also hope very much that I am a stupid person to be so pessimistic and assume the worst.
Please pray that we are wrong.
I don't want to add more crosses.
Jean Daniel Reuss wrote to me:
- I checked sarapuk's profile
Posts: 2381 (1.916 per day) (sarapuk was therefore usually very busy).
Last Active: May 19, 2021 02:01: 06 PM - In sarapuk's posts of this year 2021, I do not detect any indication that he was planning to voluntarily stop contributing to the forum.
- If sarapuk were simply ill or hospitalized he would not be alone, completely isolated. There would be people to help him, to care for him.
- And then, he who wrote 2381 posts in 3 years, even if he is completely immobilized in a bed, after 3 months (May 19 to August 31), he would have asked a small favor to someone around him. Something like: "please go to //forum.dyatlovpass.com, (Password=...), and write: sarapuk can not participate at this time.....".
(no Evidence just speculation)
And I also hope very much that I am a stupid person to be so pessimistic and assume the worst.
Please pray that we are wrong.

Aleksander Kolevatov / Re: Why did Zina think Kolevatov would cause a "quarrel" in the group?
« Last post by Zozzle on August 31, 2021, 01:58:28 AM »To me it sounds like there must have been a specific instance before (maybe not on a hike) where Kolevatov had an argument with some member of the group. Or maybe Dyatlov told the others that they had problems with him on the previous hike.
There is some mixed stuff about him in the Diaries (and his own Diary was lost). He seemed to be quite liked by Lyuda.

Lyuda's Diary 26/01:
Nothing too bad. He was slowing the group down on one day and didn't get to be watchman, which is a bit odd. Otherwise he seemed to be liked by the group.

"Volunteers" (S. Kolevatov and K. Tibo are repeating their duties as a punishment for slowing the group yesterday) took a long time to start a fire.

Sasha Kolevatov tested his device, then quit.

Kolya didn't get to be a watchman so me and Rustik will stay on duty today.
Lyuda's Diary 24/01:

We talked all kinds of nonsense, of course; everyone was interested, everyone wanted to speak out, eventually trying to out-shout each other and prove their own opinion. Sasha Kolevatov was the best in our debates. Probably he expressed not only his own thoughts but, anyway, he obviously won.
Lyuda's Diary 26/01:

Rustik and Kolya reasoned a little about everything, about work, etc. I like these guys.

Photography / Re: I think NONE of the "bright lights" pictures are from Zolotaryov's camera

Yeti / Snowman / Re: The Yeti and why Zolotaryov had two cameras
« Last post by Zozzle on August 31, 2021, 01:39:07 AM »Could you elaborate on the camera models? I know we have one picture of Thibo's camera (the "duel shot") but I could not find descriptions of the model and that of the camera found on the Body. The camera on the Body seems to be in a leather carrying case.
It could have been somebody else, but I think it wasn't Thibo. He was portrayed in the frames before and all the shots from frame 11 onwards are out of focus, which suggests the photographer wasn't used to the camera.
I think it was Zolotaryov because according to this theory, he was the last one to have that camera.
If he took the picture, it makes sense that they make fun of him. He's also older and might have told some tall tales about Yetis.

2) Why would you think it's specifically Zolotaryov who shoot the "yéti" picture ?

You're adding lots of supposition on an already foggy story, and none of them seems necessary to me for your conclusions...
You believe the menk killed them all. But why is "who shot the menk picture" question important ? If it's to explain that Zolotaryov took off the film in his own camera, it's not very probable: he knew he could only see the picture back in town, and had lots of days left to finis the camera roll before to take it off -with no delays in the picture development.
