This case has the advantage of a massive unprecedented search and rescue operation. Many, the number 50 comes to mind for just that year perish in the mountains and we haven't heard anything about them.
The case with the Dyatlov group differs from other tourist accidents only in that in no other cases did the relatives of the dead tourists make so much noise and it never occurred to any of them to send a telegram complaining about the inaction of the local leadership to the first person of the state.
This is precisely what explains such attention to him, both from the leadership of the city and region: a grandiose search operation, the presence of the regional prosecutor at the autopsies of corpses, etc., and from the Prosecutor's Office of the RSFSR - the visit of Vice Prosecutor Urakov to Sverdlovsk.
In itself, this case is no more “mysterious” than any other - for example, the death of Elvira Shataeva’s group in August 1974. And if you remember the circumstances of the death of Korovina’s group in 1993 on Khamar-Daban, then even less.
All the facts in this story have completely simple and natural explanations, and all the actions of the group can be understood and almost step-by-step reconstructed. But the absence of living witnesses provides the “researcher” with opportunities for fantasy, and only the unbridledness of our imagination + the inability to put ourselves in the place of someone whose actions you are trying to understand is our main problem and the main obstacle to the truth.
