General Discussion / Re: 100 questions to Askinadzi

Kuzminov was a commander of the Ivdellag soldiers, who came for the 2nd search shift. He says he had a pistol, and fired it at the order of the camp's head (Ortuykov?). At first sight, it looks like a fake story, but there is another witness, who confirms that the soldiers saw a fireball approaching them and fled out of the tent. It is very strange that UPI students do not mention that incident. Maybe, Askinadzi has heard something? He had been in touch with Kuzminov for about 10 days at the Pass.

In 1949, the Soviet Union developed a preliminary design for a missile submarine under the designation Project P-2 [pl], intended to strike land targets.[6] The design was developed by CKB-18 (later the Rubin Design Bureau). The submarine was projected to have a surface displacement of nearly 5,400 tons and to carry 12 R-1 missiles (Soviet versions of the V-2) and Lastochka cruise missiles.[7] However, the program encountered numerous issues that the designers could not overcome,[3] including, among others, problems with stabilizing the missile prior to launch.[8] In the early phase of developing sea-to-land missile systems, the Soviet Union regarded this kind of weapon solely as a tactical asset without strategic significance.[3]

Unfortunately the lessons for any choice of location of a tent or a route are always susceptible to the weather and conditions . What might be good one day , week or year maybe the wrong location at a different time. History of hiking or tourism in the soviet union is littered with deaths and accidents, some were avalanches. There are a number of less known accidents that just didn't hit the main media. Likewise, every country has had similar accidents by highly qualified hikers or mountaineers.

The chosen location at the ravine is ultimately the only choice , they weren't in a position to choice the ideal penthouses. The clocks ticking and you need to reduce heat loss asap . A logical solution is to build a den with walls and a roof. He didn't invent an air wave or high speed crash, they are just examples. The autopsy is in line with compression more than a blast or car crash.

the ravine lends it's self to the incident of rib fractures and the autopsy findings.

So, the lesson with choosing bad location for the tent was not learnt... The next location for the camp, the ravine, provided even worse snow threat. Are we talking about experienced hikers, masters of sport, or about school boys and girls, who do not know how to camp safely? How could Vozrozhdenniy oversee such obvious thing as bodies' compression by snow? He stood together with Ivanov and Tempalov on the ravine's bank in May 1959. Why did he invent air wave and automobile at speed, when the 'killer' (snow) was at his legs?

The 1st Ivdellag shift was headed by Potapov, and included famous Suynikaev and Klimenko.

The most likey cause is the snow above them.

So, what is the logic of the event? The hikers inside the tent were attacked by a snow slab, which cracked their bones, and then they marched 1.5 km downhill to RIP in the ravine? Or the slab just frightened the hikers, they found better location in the ravine, where they immediately digged a tunnel in the snow and thus created even stronger offender than the slab?

Some sort of snow build up at the tent is the most likely cause for leaving in my opinion.

However, the ravine lends it's self to the incident of rib fractures and the autopsy findings. . We know the ravine can be empty to full depending on the year. . Restricted breathing and compression causes the foaming blood amongst a number of findings.

And please do not mix UPI search shifts and Ivdellag search shifts. Askinadzi was in the 6th UPI shift, while Kuzminov was in the 2nd Ivdellag shift. The 1st Ivdellag shift was headed by Potapov, and included famous Suynikaev and Klimenko.

The rib fractures are quite specific and reflect compression .

OK. Do you have clear explanation what provided that compression? Was Thibo's skull also compressed?
