Why are you writing in Russian? Aren't you American? Or do you think if you ask in Russian you will get better answers?

Teddy, he could be a Russian-speaking American. For example, either an immigrant or a second-generation American with an excellent command of Russian.

Hunter,
If you look at the very bottom of Kayer3's message, below the horizontal line, s/he writes this:
"I first heard about the Dyatlov Pass Incident when I was about 8 years old when my dad came across it and told me about the case. I became obsessed with the case after that. My dream is to visit Dyatlov Pass one day."
S/he writes very well in English.

My advice is to be wary of social media on the topic. Currently, assassination, UFO's and conspiracies are all the rage. It is an indication of relaxation of restrictions of expression in certain countries.
The heart of the matter has to do with leaving the tent on 1079. For me, that goes back to an aborted attempt the day before to cross the high ridge to Mt.Ortoten, the hiker's goal. This attempt is a consequence of the team leader Igor Dyatlov hearing and ignoring the warning of the area forester Rempel, who advised against making a winter attempt on Ortoten.
Igor was not going to abandon the hike. There was too much to lose in terms of certification and prestige to not make the attempt.
The group made a difficult hike up one river tributary, the Auspya valley and crossed over to the next valley, the Lovza, keeping to the high ground on the bare ridge above in order to not have to plow through deep snow and bushwhack through thin forest a mile below. Here is where opinions diverge. I contend that bad weather and a wind driven snow slide laid the tent down on top of them and they had to cut their way out and head to the forest below (a mile downhill) to wait for better conditions to repair the tent and continue. In my estimation, the Russian Winter and a faulty snow cave sealed their fate. Others in the Forum, YouTube and in printed material have vastly different takes on it.
Some members in the forum love a mystery. Others want to publish and profit from it. My friendly advice is to remember, all behavior is motivated. What seems reasonable in a warm room today may not be so obvious on a cold, dark and snowy night six decades ago. You will soon learn that the "how" of things is easier to decipher that the "why" of things. This is the reason the mystery persists. Welcome to the forum.

When registering there is a choice of English and Russian for the navigation of the forum. I can see from her profile setup that she did not choose Russian.

My advice is to use all sources and simply decide on facts. People are drawn to these sites for various reasons. Some people may be here to assist the Russian Government in its ongoing cover-up of certain facts. I'm not saying that the Russian Government is wrong to cover up those certain facts because they may have a good reason to do so. I'm just trying to figure out what actually happened. Because what happened was very unusual and not of a force that we can understand at the moment.
