Lev Ivanov wrote the article only as an excuse to apologize to the parents of the victims.
Quote from Ivanov's article:
"Kirilenko gave a clear command to classify all the work, not a single word of information should have leaked. Kirilenko ordered to bury the dead in closed coffins and inform relatives that the tourists died of hypothermia"
Ivanov, quote: ONE OF THE EXCUSES I HAD WAS NOT FULFILLING MY WILL. "I tried to do everything I could, but then there was an irresistible force in the country"

Unknown Compelling Force always sounded so cryptic, like it was a clue in itself to what actually happened, a coded message.I am partial to another "unspeakable truth" myself: that they were simply underequipped. Torn tent, no sleeping bags, coats that look like they're made for the autumn, not the winter. They try to hang in there but the combination of no stove and the windier conditions result in some of them getting frostbite in the tent. Or perhaps even before that, and the tent was set up there because someone in the group couldn't continue...
I chose poisoning, and also something which may be "the unspeakable truth" - conflict within the group (more specifically a factional mutiny at the tent and later on, after the failure of a fire, competition for what became the only survivor resource, the den).

I would read that differently. He is talking about the month of February ,not the evening of the whatever took place. It is frustrating that we don't have a photo of the tent untouched .
If the snow was not much in the month of February , then it would suggest that the ravine 4 were in cave for that amount of snow to be on top of them?
In my opinion, they made a group plan on the sofa. The two Yuri were to watch the tree. And they climbed the tree and saw nothing on the slope. And Igor decided to go back to the tent. He took only Rüstem and Zina with him. The other four would keep the fire going. And they must have kept the fire going!!! Everything was going well. But the unknown Force must have attacked Igor first!!! Then Rustam and Zina.....The two Yuri in the tree saw this!!! And warned the four. The four immediately wanted to dig a cave in the snow and hide there. The two Yuri chose to stay in the tree. The unknown Force first attacked the Two Yuri and knocked them from the tree. And they died slowly by the hard blow of the fall. Then the unknown Force attacked the quartet trying to hide in the cave!!! I guess at the time of the attack, these four were in the process of entering the cave!!! They were attacked just as they entered!!!The fact that they are so close to each other shows this. Ludmina's separation for a while also indicates that she is trying to escape. But the attacker must be very fast...Because he didn't get far!!!I would read that differently.

You are right, it could be read that way. I didn't see it until you pointed it out.
The idea that they were in a cave is certainly talked about but still no one has mentioned how they would be able to dig out snow that was hard packed enough to make a cave out of, not being dressed and no real tools with them.
there are reports of a knife being found and then only a knife sheath found and one known knife wasn't returned to I don't know what they had but hard packed snow is hard to cut a shelter out of.
making snow caves is a popular thing here to the point where when the snow plows are going to take down banks, they issue a warning so people aren't in the caves when the plow hits
What you posted makes sense except why would anyone light a fire that would give their position if they were worried about being found?At first they didn't think they could die. Because the unknown Force had driven them out of the tent but did not harm them. so they hoped they would live. So they lit the fire and needed warmth. But when the two Yuri in the tree realized the unknown power, they realized that the danger was great and they could die. But they also knew that they could not escape. Because the unknown Force was both fast and powerful and flying. Two Yuri chose to stay in the tree, while the other four considered digging a cave and going inside. Because they had nothing else to do.

The Soviet security forces were the force which could not be resisted.above the security forces - there were party organs. They gave instructions. The KGB was the executor of the will of the party.
I would opt for a teargas (CN or CS), that is not on the list. Which made it unbearable to stay inside the tent................
....................................... Then outside something/someone else was waiting for them.

Another member who has done years of research on this mystery believes it was Captain Chernyshev who led the killers. He was also one of the searchers.
• Therefore I think that Chernyshev could not have been the commander or sponsor of the massacre of the nine hikers.Согласна! Чернышов хорошо знал местность, был спортивным и служил в ГУЛАГе.
But it is not unlikely that he could have been one of the three hitmen............
