Title: Igor Dyatlov's ankle wounds
Post by: amashilu on August 02, 2022, 12:44:03 PM
The autopsy on Igor Dyatlov says "both ankles had brownish red abrasions, size 1x0.5 cm and 3x2.5 cm with hemorrhage into the underlying tissue."

Other abrasions on his body were defined as "minor," but these were not. They were deep and they bled.

I cannot think of anything that would cause deep ankle abrasions like this, except being tied with rope or hand-cuffs or some other strong material, and Igor struggling against the restraints. Can anyone? It would be beneficial if we could come up with any other cause and would help guide us to: human interference or not human interference.

Could just be from ill-fitting boots. From the sizes (1x0.5cm and 3x2.5cm) it doesn't appear the wound went all the way around.

Quoting from the autopsy:
There are abrasions of brown-red color in the area of the left ankle joint on the anterior lateral and on the posterior surfaces of both ankles hollowed over the surface of the skin and also on the skin level, sized 1 х 0.5 cm and up to 3 х 2.5 cm with hemorrhaging into the underlying soft tissues.

The abrasions went all the way around and they were deep.

Here’s one thought from my own experiences. (1) I’ve had ankle bruising from new modern x-country ski boots after only a few days of skiing from tying the laces tight around my ankles. (2) I’ve also done multi day hikes in the snow, and the absolute worst thing that you can have happen is to get your feet wet on a winter trek, the skin gets soft and splits easily, you will do anything to keep that from happening.

Combining these two facts, if I had their 1950’s ski boots, and wanted to keep my feet dry, I’d tie the straps very tight to keep water out (and for better ski control on hills/uneven surfaces). It’s no surprise to me at all that there were ankle abrasions, especially if the skin had gotten wet.

Just google “nordic ski ankle abrasion”. Even with modern ski equipment research says the majority of Nordic ski injuries involve soft tissue damage, 18% are abrasions.

This thread makes me appreciate all the more the sturdiness of those student hikers in 1959. By the standards of today, they braved the elements with clothing unsuitable for extreme conditions. And, the wear and tear on their bodies, like these ankle abrasions is evidence of it.

It is extremely likely that Dyatlov was indeed handcuffed on his feet.

Please look at all the injuries of the nine. These injuries can only be explained by murder.

There was a planned murder, which had to be made to look like an accident because the nine students were loyal Soviet citizens with connections in the "right" people in Russian society. However, if the nine students had witnessed something in the Urals which they were not supposed to know they would be a threat to state security. The relevant agency would mercilessly exterminate anyone who could jeopardize state secrets.

It completely escapes me how anyone can fail to see that these nine unfortunates were all murdered.

There is absolutely no indication that there was violence between the nine hikers, or that any of them harbored evil intentions towards the others.

The killers attacked the unfortunate nine as a result of someone having made the decision that they must die. It was a planned action, carefully orchestrated to make it look like an accident to prevent political unrest from the public.

Evidently, the Soviet state knew all along what happened, and they have tried to deny it ever since. That in itself is telling.

that any of them harbored evil intentions towards the others.

To be precise, some hikers could have motives to feel anger: Dubinina against the group who ostracized her, Kolevatov and Thibeaux-Brignolle against the leader who had punished them... everything was not peaceful between them.

But whatever the level of dissension within the group, it made no difference (or small) when brutally attacked by outsiders. They could both quarrel and be attacked by outsiders.

Yes, petty quarrelings and angry exchanges are perfectly normal when a group of people share space and time together as on an expedition. Nothing abnormal about that.

As Dytlov walked towards the tent, an unknown force must have grabbed him by the wrists from behind. Then he must have laid her on the ground and killed her in an unknown way. It is a very remote possibility that the wrist wound was caused by another reason. After that, Rüstem attacked. He's pushed from behind. And Rustem fell to the ground. And he's dead. I think this unknown coercive force is a very developed human being. Or it could be a genie. But the death patterns and wounds of the corpses suggest that it belongs to a highly developed human being who can be invisible when necessary.

No, it was a skunk mermaid, they are very common in Russian forests.
Yes, my thought may seem strange and unbelievable to most of you. But in this world we live in, it is a fact that there have been very strange and incredible events in history and now. Many of these events have no logical explanation. The Dytlov affair is one of them. I'm sure of that. I think the attacker of the Dytlov group is an advanced human like superman. Because the attacks seem to be made by a human, but it does not seem possible for a normal person to do it. In other words, there may be a person who uses 100% of his brain and is highly developed both physically and mentally. This is possible. Why not?

I want to thank you for firmly and consistently sticking to the theory that these people were killed, and for your patience in explaining it over and over. To some of us, it is obvious from the deceased bodies that these skilled, experienced hikers, who would never leave their tent without their coats and boots, were forced out, engaged in hand-to-hand combat, lost the fight and were killed by being rifle-butted in the temple, or slammed and cracked in the chest; no arms or legs were broken, only the heads and the main body areas. It is difficult to understand how others cannot see this.  Many pathologists studying the photos and autopsies over the last 50 years have also concluded that these were clearly cases of murder. The positions of many of the arms also indicates that the bodies were dragged after death and then positioned. Dubinina could never have gotten up onto her knees with flail chest and a pierced heart. How did she get in that position? Dyatlov had his ankles tied so he couldn't move and froze to death after a hand-to-hand combat that ripped the skin from his hands.

There was a flat circle in the snow next to the tent, at the time it was found. More attention needs to be paid to that.

Which pathologists studying the photos and autopsies over the last 50 years have  concluded that these were clearly cases of murder? I would be surprised if a professional forensic pathologist would offer a conclusion of murder without having more data.

There is no need of more data, only the need not to neglect the available data as you do, as you do just like Ivanov did when writing  "considering the absence of external injuries".

And are you not surprised that Criminal Prosecutor L.N. Ivanov, who was head the 1959 investigation, finally offered the conclusion of murder by alien spaceships? And are you not surprised that the same prosecutor lied in his 1959 Resolution to close the case, creating thereby a false legal document?


Charles,You just lied again about the re- opening of the case to x-ray the exhumed bodies?

"Considering the absence of external injuries" is probably a true statement in the world of forensics. A forensic pathologist reading today would not commit to say that it was murder or otherwise, they don't have enough data from this forum or the autopsies , files etc.

They would consider  all the aspects . It even says not to jump to conclusions in the clinical governance. All you that have done is gone broken bones , meeting on a train, police , not conclusive outcome therefore 'murder'.

You have to take small baby steps, think, compare data from hypothermia case studies, examine the environment for possible explanations for the injuries.look at every detail. Can these injuries be explained by the environment along with possible sledge hammers etc.

We have to look at the flail chest , the swelling, the abrasions, the body positions, the postion of the hands and heads.

Are these injuries in keeping with hypothermia, or at least the effects of hypothermia.

We can't go into a court room and accuse someone for steeling because they had stolen something before. Likewise we can't go saying Russia is a murderous place with guns , gulags and break ribs with a hammer so it was them!

We can think it but no law, pathologist or otherwise would follow it. You have a bias and you are forcing it, try dropping the bias and you might suprise yourself.

So far you say everyone is lying. The tent tear/holes are  a lie , the tent photo is a lie, the photos are staged, ivanov is lying, the lack of xrays is a lie, Igor B is lying about not using x-rays in autopsies. I'm lying about snow caves, Wolverine's don't exist.

look at clinical case studies, they do help. The nearest to murder is the possibility of them being told to leave the tent. The rest of the injuries lean towards natural occurance .

"Considering the absence of external injuries" is probably a true statement in the world of forensics.


All nine autopsy reports were translated and are available. They all include a part "External examination" and Dr Vozrozhdenny listed more than 80 external injuries, all autopsies were performed "in the presence of the criminal prosecutor of regional prosecutor office junior Counselor in Justice L.N. Ivanov" who signed all the reports.

Ivanov lied when writing "Considering the absence of external injuries" and we know why: because he received an order from Urakov...

"Deputy Prosecutor General, comrade Urakov came to meet with us and gave orders that we were to all tell anyone who asked that the hikers’ death was an accident.", "It was, obviously, an order from the CPSU Central Committee.", "We told them it might be an earthquake, a storm or anything like that … But look, what else could we tell them?"

https://dyatlovpass.com/evgeniy-okishev-2013

"Deputy Federal Prosecutor for Investigations Urakov arrived and immediately asked us to bring him the case. He told us to write the closing statement. He went to the Oblast committee and took Klinov and Ivanov with him. When Ivanov came back he told me that an order was to close the case.", "A bit later I received an express order from Urakov to tell parents it was an accident.", "Anyway, the case was already taken away from us. No doubt, Urakov could have told us, but preferred not to. Because he himself must have received orders from the Procurator General who, in his turn, executed orders from his superiors. And it looks like so: all of a sudden, in the midst of investigation, there comes Urakov and closes down all work."

https://dyatlovpass.com/evgeniy-okishev-2014

Prosecutor Lev Ivanov lied because he received the order to lie. In 1946, Prosecutor Nicolay Zorya who refused to obey orders and to falsify the reports about Katyn massacre was found dead in his hotel bedroom in Nuremberg. Soviet Union was a totalitarian state, killing its own citizens, lying, falsifying. In 1959, the head of the state, Khrushchev, was one of the mass murderers of 1937-1938: he provided the lists of names of people to be shot in the head at Butovo (21,000 killed) and Kommunarka (10,000 killed)... the youngest victim was 13 years old, Misha Shamonin.

(https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2016-03-23-1458769846-7758834-but1sm-thumb.jpg)

The boy received a bullet in the head, thanks to Khrushchev's signature at the bottom of the list of names provided to Stalin.

These people were completely twisted, perverted and rotten to the core. Mass killing, falsifying, lying, making false accusations, sending millions of people to forced labor camps... it was not Switzerland, it was a totalitarian, pervert and bloody regime.

"Considering the absence of external injuries" was not "probably a true statement", it was a lie, and in obedience to an order from the regime. And your sentence ""Considering the absence of external injuries" is probably a true statement in the world of forensics." is an absolute disgrace.


-

Charles, you said that they re-opened the case, to do x-rays, then they stopped.

Charles wrote "When the case was re-opened they did x-rays of Zolotaryov and found new fractures. If they did their job seriously, they would have done x-rays of all hikers. But I think finding new fractures on Zolotaryov was an extra reason not to x-ray the other hikers...

That is to say, the motive to hide the cause of death in 1959 is still standing today: the contemporary Russian authorities inherited the motive to hide the truth
"

Is this the truth Charles? Did they reopen the case to do x-rays and stop ? 


The quote "Considering the absence of external injuries" may relate to it's context. There are marks on the body. There are internal injuries. The problem was , or is , is that there's nothing like stab wounds , bullet wounds or anything that suggests foul play. Lack of external injuries that show foul play or wounds causing death is what in means.

 The paradox could be that the alleged special forces did their job that good , that they fooled the autopsy people and all involved! The trained assassins that couldn't use a knife or gun because they were under strict orders to make it look like a "natural disaster"  managed to do this and fool everyone but yet you say it's obviously been done by hand? What are you trying to say?  Who are they trying to deceive. Everyone is in on it according to you. It was executed perfectly so no one would know that it was murder.

What else could they tell them, they didn't know what the cause of death was...that's what's being written and why the truth is in the quotes you keep posting. If they could not conclude or find evidence of anything , what else can they say.

And stop the emotive language, not one country is squeaky clean on how it treated its own citizens or populations of other countries. We could point the finger at France and it's history if you like.

They reported the injuries, they include the marks, small cuts, abrasions etc. It would be interesting to compare autopsies of the time with other cases of hypothermia and what was found.

We have the have the autopsies of the dp9 so if they are hiding something , what are they hiding? If we take the tent for example, are you saying it wasn't cut from the inside? Are you saying it was cut from the outside and that the report of it being cut from the inside is a lie?

If the injuries are non life threating and consistent with hypothermia and there is no other evidence of outsiders , how can they say it was outsiders if you get my drift, it may have been but if they don't know for certain it can't be said. If we swing the argument the other way for example, they said it was murder, then they would have to prove it. What prove do they have? Some swollen extremities , abrasions and cuts. Bruises are missing for the impacts for blunt weapons , particularly for the rib fractures. Some of these injuries are postmortem. Some of them might have been from before the fatal event.

On other web sites and commentaries on the case, they question the interpretation of events. Who said what and when for example , as in how it's all been reported through media, who's getting paid to say what.

What country has not been part of some mass murder in the name of some idealism? You can't jump from "evil bad country " to they did it and they were all involved .

If they had that much control and power over everything why would they not just rewrite the case. Sort out all the anomalies or plant a camera from the tent or something in some Mansi hut and say, we got hard evidence and hang that Mansi and close the case.

What on earth is political about my writings? Perhaps it's you who are political?

You keep saying cover up, any which way but all you can conclude is the totalitarian regime, evil, horror etc .

Here's a bit more from the exhumation of Zolotaryov.

At our request, the exhumation was carried out by the forensic medical expert of the Moscow Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination, Sergei Nikitin. The researcher of the tragedy, doctor Galina Sazonova was also present at the cemetery. We talked to them on the radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda" (97.2 Moscow), where we talked about the first results of the examinations.

Here's a transcript of the conversation

Читайте на WWW.KP.RU: https://www.kp.ru/daily/26824/3861696/

GS : Is it correct to say that we evaluate the chest as a structure and talk about structural fractures? That is, one impact could cause several fractures?

SN: This indicates that the zone of contact, impact exceeded the dimensions from the first to the sixth rib. It was a big heavy mass. Most likely snow.

GS : Can you tell when these injuries occurred?

SN: The presence of blood in the pleural cavity of Zolotarev unequivocally indicates that it was in vivo.

GS: What position was the person in at the time of the injury?

Читайте на WWW.KP.RU: https://www.kp.ru/daily/26824/3861696/

SN: We can definitely say that he was lying on his back. And the traumatic impact occurred from front to back, maybe a little from right to left.

GS: Was the surface the person was lying on relatively hard?

SN: Yes. It is unlikely that he was lying in the snow.

GS: You found that not all ribs are broken the same way. Is it possible to say that the force that acted on the chest acted to the maximum where the ribs were completely broken? And where they didn’t break, it seems like the impact was lower?

SN: With such compression and with such fractures along the axillary line, the ribs broke as a result of excessive flexion. This is called the flexion nature of the fractures. Along the peristernal line, the nature of the fractures was extensor. This suggests that the traumatic impact occurred at the moment when the person was lying on his back, and suggests the direction of the traumatic mass.

GS: Is it like being crushed by a concrete slab? Or is it shock compression? There is a version that a large mass of snow fell.

SN: Was it impact or slow pressure over a period of time? When the corpse is examined not to the same degree of change as the corpse of Zolotarev was at the time of autopsy, there are soft tissues, subcutaneous fatty tissue, then hemorrhage into the subcutaneous fatty tissue can be assessed. If it was a blow, then we would see hemorrhages in the muscles and subcutaneous fatty tissue. If this mass, like a snow layer, was gradually squeezing, we would hardly have seen this hemorrhage.

GS: Hemorrhages were noted at autopsy. And on histology, and in the act.

Читайте на WWW.KP.RU: https://www.kp.ru/daily/26824/3861696/

SN: This suggests that it was a sharp pressure, a sharp impact. Not gradual.

Cor: Does it look like being hit by, say, a car?

SN : A car is like a comparison. In our case, we can say that it was the impact of a large mass.

GS: Could it have been a blast wave?

SN: Completely excluded. The injuries would have been different.

When Semyon was found in the stream, there was a camera on his chest. Pretty heavy stuff for the time. Could he walk with such injuries and with a camera around his neck?

- It is unlikely that the camera prevented him from moving. But we cannot say for sure where he got his ribs injured. You can allow this option. Two people were found in the creek with rib injuries and another with a skull injury. Therefore, it is impossible to exclude the version that they dug a cave in the area of ​​​​the ravine, but the snow collapsed and covered them.

The quote "Considering the absence of external injuries" may relate to it's context. There are marks on the body. There are internal injuries.

The way "external injuries" become "marks on the body" in your writing is disgraceful. These actual injuries:

 "abrasion", "scratch", "flesh wound", "bruise", "swelling", "defect of the epidermis", "abrasion with hemorrhaging into the adjacent tissue", "diffuse bleeding into the underlying tissue", "graze wound", "skin wound", "hemorrhage", "ecchymoma", "burn", "contusion", "laceration", "deformation"

they are not simply "marks on the body". There are more than 80 of these injuries in the autopsy reports: you deny the sufferings of the victims... And you need to deny the sufferings of the victims... So there is here a tie of interest that you didn't declare.

-

I'm sharing what I know Charles. There is a high probability that these marks are consistent with hypothermia and survival in the cold. They walked a mile and did various activities in the woods, building stuff, then they crawled on the ground, they would lose dexterity of limbs. They would crawl on Knuckles, freeze slowly , tunnel into the snow.  There's a lot going on to make external injuries that could occur by their own actions.

Ziljoe,

I promised to get you the names of the doctors who studied the bodies and the autopsy materials and said these deaths could not be accidental. Here they are:

Dr. Natalia Sakharova, prison physician and expert police criminalist. Says it is clear that several of the hikers were tied at the ankles and wrists, that their deaths cannot be accidental and were murder.

Dr. Ken Holmes, Marin County coroner and death investigator for 30 years. These deaths cannot be accidental, too much trauma; all evidence points to murder.

Mick Fennerty, FBI evidence investigator of crime scenes. Hikers were forced out of tent (believes they would never have left without their boots or coats) and their wounds were not caused by accidents. Murder.

There were at least 2 others; one is on this site (dyatlovpass.com) that I remember and I am trying to locate it.

В 1959 году глава государства Хрущев был одним из массовых убийц 1937-1938 годов: он предоставил поименные списки расстрелянных в Бутово (21 000 убитых) и Коммунарке (10 000 убитых). , самой молодой жертве было 13 лет, Миша Шамонин.

Ziljoe, the video itself may have gotten, as you say, mixed reviews, for the videographer's dramatic style and insertion of self too often, but I hope you watch it and realize that this in no way compromises the opinions of the experts and professionals. Their integrity is solid and their conclusions reasonable.

Thanks amashilu,

I will try and get a look at it, the comments are mostly negative about the film producer and going over old ground and says it comes to nothing new. I will watch it with an open mind. I do question TV programmes, the news programs also. Much of it is is loosely based on facts.

Ziljoe, I am the first to reject sensationalism or poorly researched consumer junk. This video does not fall into that category. Certainly the professionals who are consulted did their homework and explain their reasoning. It does sound as if you have already closed your mind against it, but I hope that is not the case.

The quote "Considering the absence of external injuries" may relate to it's context. There are marks on the body. There are internal injuries.

The way "external injuries" become "marks on the body" in your writing is disgraceful. These actual injuries:

 "abrasion", "scratch", "flesh wound", "bruise", "swelling", "defect of the epidermis", "abrasion with hemorrhaging into the adjacent tissue", "diffuse bleeding into the underlying tissue", "graze wound", "skin wound", "hemorrhage", "ecchymoma", "burn", "contusion", "laceration", "deformation"

they are not simply "marks on the body". There are more than 80 of these injuries in the autopsy reports: you deny the sufferings of the victims... And you need to deny the sufferings of the victims... So there is here a tie of interest that you didn't declare.

-

I'm sharing what I know Charles. There is a high probability that these marks are consistent with hypothermia and survival in the cold.

So you refuse to call injuries "external injuries" and downgrade them to "marks". What is your tie of interest with the case?

You are not sharing what you know, you don't know anything about snow cave but you spent hours writing about that imaginary snow cave. Now, anybody can read the 9 autopsy reports and read about these more than 80 external injuries that I quoted, and you prefer to deny the reality of these injuries and suffering rather than questioning the integrity of Ivanov and of the regime. Your choice goes to the regime and the lies.

Here, there are two possibilities: either you have a non declared tie of interest with this regime and type of regime, or you belong to the category of people described by the Greeks in their great political tragedies: the more conformists of the crowd, the ones who are so deep in the crowd they can't face any reality by themselves. You can see them in Aeschylus' Agamemnon: they are so submissive, so afraid not to be on the side of power, that they are in constant denial of any threat or opposition to the power. So when there is regime change in the City, they are the last to understand that a coup is in progress and also the first to submit to the new regime (the first ones to understand are also the last to submit and they submit only under the threat of torture and prison)... Here, it is not a particular tie of interest but a more general predisposition to submission and totalitarianism.

And I was wrong when I called you a relativist, because your indifference to any fancy theories is only a consequence of the taboo you put on political involvement. Relativism is only secondary, first come politics, and politics is so important, it is actually sacred, that your language obeys the taboo, avoiding "injuries" and using "marks"... There is no relativism here, but the highest devotion and obedience to power.

As usual Charles , you edit to your convenience. I also said external injuries. But let's call them what you like . These marks or external injuries , as I understand it , would not be able to cause the deaths from a autopsy standpoint. However he does not say there were no internal injuries. They do say that these were the cause of death in the others. I've seen worse  external injuries from a fight in a street than the dp9 if they were subject to violence by other humans.

I am getting fed up of your paranoid behaviour . I'm trying to be balanced in my approach. There many others including the searchers at the time that came to the conclusion that they were sheltering in some sort of snow cornice, snow cave. If you read the other post about the exhuming of Zolotaryov, it is mentioned and the context of the broken ribs across the axis.

You would be very surprised as to who and what I stand up for.  But one must always have a foot on the ground and understand how things come to be. Especially in psychology. People are scared easily and say nothing. Much like the ash test.

I'm only going by the reviews amashilu. They said there was nothing new. How ever, there's always a bit of something that sheds new light.

 Out of interest , until I get access to it. What were Dr. Natalia Sakharova, prison physician and expert police criminalist. Says it is clear that several of the hikers were tied at the ankles and wrists, that their deaths cannot be accidental and were murder.

Why did she think several of the hikers were tied at the ankles and wrists. Since we are on the correct thread.

You can find this video at tubitv.com.

Dr. Sakharova calls into question the supposition that the tent was cut from the inside. She actually takes a piece of tent canvas and a knife and demonstrates.

She rules out that Slobodin died from falling on rocks in the darkness by stating that when a person falls on rocks, their first injury is to their palms, as they reach out to catch themselves, and then to their face, not to the side of their head or their temple. (Another professional notes that Slobodin's death was due to a different event than the other eight; he appeared to have been basically knocked unconscious; I thought that was interesting.)

Reading Igor Dyatlov's autopsy report, it is noted that he had bruising and abrasions to both his wrists and his ankles. Dr. Sakharova says, "My guess is that they were tied. They were tied over their clothes. That's why these strong young people weakened so quickly in the cold. They were tied."

Thanks , it won't let me access it here. I'll find a way to view it as it sound interesting and apparently it gives good filming of the actual location.

I wonder what the evidence is that she shows that it wasn't cut from the inside?

I don't think it was reported that Slobidin fell on the rocks , only speculated that it may have been a rock. Plus if they were freezing I'm not sure if the hands would be working in that way. Did she mention anything about hypothermia? Many deaths by the cold look like they have been knocked unconscious. I'm sure they present more detail in the documentary. I'm sure there's a post here that debate's these issues.

I'm surprised that she guesses. Did she say it was clear that several were tied?

I know that sounds like loaded questions  but they are not meant to be. I too , came up with the idea that it was murder but I had to take a few steps back after doing more research.

You wrote:

"There are marks on the body. There are internal injuries. The problem was , or is , is that there's nothing like stab wounds , bullet wounds or anything that suggests foul play. Lack of external injuries that show foul play or wounds causing death is what in means."

You really used "marks on the body" as a defense of "lack of external injuries". The way you change words, it is a long tradition. They used to say: "mistakes were made" when they finally couldn't avoid to face their violence... and this language was spoken during decades, the language of minoring state violence and of exonerating those responsible.

Tan lines are "marks on the body", tattoos are "marks on the body"...  But these are not tan lines and tattoos:

"abrasion", "scratch", "flesh wound", "bruise", "swelling", "defect of the epidermis", "abrasion with hemorrhaging into the adjacent tissue", "diffuse bleeding into the underlying tissue", "graze wound", "skin wound", "hemorrhage", "ecchymoma", "burn", "contusion", "laceration", "deformation"

and can't be equalized to tan lines and tattoos. It is not correct to write "marks or external injuries" as if they were synonyms, they are not synonyms: is it so hard to understand? You have to respect the sufferings of the victims. Personally, I really don't like the character of Doroshenko, but I would never try to spread the idea that he just had "marks on the body".

I am getting fed up of your paranoid behaviour . I'm trying to be balanced in my approach. There many others including the searchers at the time that came to the conclusion that they were sheltering in some sort of snow cornice, snow cave.

It is not "balanced" at all: you have a sacred principle, a taboo, which is to deny anything that could relate the case to Soviet/Russian politics, and you just don't care about the rest, all other theories are fine as long as the taboo is not violated.

And the way you insisted on using "marks" instead of "external injuries"... it's like reading the statements of the communist politicians of the 1980s. This recipe is not new: the denial of the sufferings of the victims, the attempt to impose wooden language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_language) or controlled language, the die-hard defense of the regime, and we could even add the psychiatrization of the opponent... it is very surprising to find these ingredients reunited in 2022. Or maybe not, maybe it's in tune with the times.

Ok Charles, which of these external injuries caused them to die.

Step by step analysis please.

@ Charles.

The decomposition is obvious . , It is evident that they had been submerged in the water for sometime. The weak link( concrete)  is the area around the eyes. You are correct to suggest there may  have been other injuries or cuts for example but we don't have any evidence.

The decay was well established by the time the ravine 4 were found. As understand it, the flow of water was stronger than what is seen in the photos as they had dammed the stream before attempting to retrieve the bodies.

Whatever the reason, these postmortem injuries are the results of decay in the environment they were found. The fractures however remain open to debate.

At this moment I lean towards a snow collapse from either finding a snow cave or making one, and I am not going to appolgise for speculating that. With the information and data we have , it seems the "most" reasonable explanation. However , I respect that others think differently and I welcome any debate to say otherwise.

These injuries that you list from the autopsy have many possibilities.


"abrasion", "scratch", "flesh wound", "bruise", "swelling", "defect of the epidermis", "abrasion with hemorrhaging into the adjacent tissue", "diffuse bleeding into the underlying tissue", "graze wound", "skin wound", "hemorrhage", "ecchymoma", "burn", "contusion", "laceration", "deformation"


Are these injuries the result of the environment and hypothermia, in paraell with the fight for survival. For example , digging a snow cave, breaking branches, making fire, crawling , falling , assisting each other. I also think it is prudent to look at the injuries with modern research data on death from hypothermia, to look and see if some of the above reported injuries can occur from exposure to extreme cold and freezing. It just so happens that they do.

Although it can be argued that theses injuries could be the result of physical harm from other humans, it does not mean it is the case. I'm not sure what your argument is about it was ordered to be said it was accidental with no signs of a fight.

Many of the testimonies , even from the same people, over time have contradict themselves. If you can link me to the Ivanov and Urakov testimonies I would appreciate it.

If there no signs of a rifle , they can't say it was a rifle butt . Surely they would then have to justify that conclusion, only a blunt object as a possibility can be put forward.

A lot of this may down to translation and interpretation. I am taking the view point of , I do not know and by all accounts those investigating did not know.

I have hypothesized various ideas over outsiders. Due to the odd delay when they built the labaz ,I have wondered if it was there that outsiders became involved. The lack of other trails may be due to that none were made . The dp9 were followed, in their own ski trails. To me , that's the easiest way to cover your tracks and find the people that you might be after. From there , the dp9 may have been intimated and forced up the slope and ordered to pitch the tent in that location. The outsiders may have taken the last photos with the cameras , they then would have control of the narrative of what would be found in the last pictures setting the stage. From that point outsiders could just order them down the slope and let the environment and conditions do its thing. The outsiders stay in the tent, make small peep holes to not compromise the tent. Then go back the way they came. The injuries  still play out as proposed by those that favour a natural event . A snow cave collapsed, the Yuri's undressed themselves, the other 3 succumbed to the cold on the return to the tent. Job done. My point being , the injuries do not necessarily equal physical violence. It is a thought exercise and an example.

This is the same as your example of being pushed into the water.


It is not your proposal of murder that I have an issue with, rather your emotive narrative. To use the USSR and it's history of internal affairs and political conflict, gulags, examples of murder , evil, hell etc is not evidence of murder to the dp9. It is reasonable for others to put forward their observations , whether that be , Wolverine, snow slip, fallen tree, wind, sound , snow cave etc.

I want you to understand that I do not rule outsiders , it is just lower down on my list. I am not jumping to a conclusion because you have.

As you know better than the people that did the autopsy It would be good if you could give a step by step account of the injuries  and how they were the cause of death. How the bodies came to be in the positions they were found etc. TIA...

Thanks amashilu 👍

I note that he also says amongst themselves and that the injuries may have happened earlier. This adds new thinking. Perhaps they were forced to camp on the slope. To me, the injuries are  to mild for a physical fight against others for survival. However, if someone pulled a gun out , this may have put a stop to any hand to hand combat. It's got me thinking though...

I think Tumalov says he does not try to distinguish whether they fought among themselves or against outsiders. He did not want to decide that. He was just sure that they were killed, rather than a natural accident such as an avalanche.

Tumalov is speculating, the same as the rest of us . As a professional he gives a possibility. That's it. He doesn't comment on other possibilities.
