My letter to Sogrin with questions

[Axelrod]

I have just written questions to Sogrin about the Dyatlov group. There are no explanations in square brackets in the original text

//Hello!

I am aware of this monument, it has been discussed for about 10 years. But as they say, the slower something is done, the better the result can be. If it were done quickly, they would have stuck a memorial plaque and that's it.

There is a very similar monument, and it was installed 3 years earlier, also on September 20.

The article is called "A terrible tragedy is not forgotten", it is about the collision of a passenger train with a freight train in the summer of 1972.
A car of the dead, two cars of the injured. The details are described somehow contradictorily, people do not remember much anymore.

The rock is very similar, even the coincidence of dates is surprising. You put forward a candidate, and they consider it there. It worked.
QUESTIONS about the Dyatlov group. I am currently living during the war in the foothills of the Carpathians, in the city of Truskavets. The mountains are earthen, covered with forest, but there are rocks 15 km behind the first ridge. I have a question, how could the Dyatlov group, having only a cord, climb that rock in the form of a triumphal arch (like on Kutuzovsky Prospekt)? How can you climb it? Stas Tipikin says that he did not succeed, but you had mountaineering equipment.

Then I thought that the Dyatlov group could have cut down some tree, several people could have dragged it up the mountain on their shoulders and climbed with the help of this tree. We have such rocks in the mountains, there was a fortress Tustan, and now there are wooden stairs for tourists. And on a bare rock - it's like climbing up the roof of a 2-story house right away.

The second question, you can't ask Monya, in the interrogation you write that you got out of the helicopter, and there were three corpses right behind the rock. Tipikin says that he went to the tent, then Tipikin went down to the cedar (2 hours later), at that time Doroshenko's corpse was being lifted from below, he saw it, and then he personally dragged Krivonischenko's corpse up. The question is who was the third corpse among those lifted the day before (besides Dyatlov and Kolmogorva). Karelin also writes that 3 corpses were lifted the day before. Maslennikov sends a radiogram that only Doroshenko remained below by the cedar [first confused with Zolotarev] (sheet 160).

Then on March 1, Lev Ivanov arrives and photographs Krivonischenko's corpse by the cedar. It was possible that it was Semyon Zolotartov, and later in May, Alexander Zolotaryov was found [with pencil and notebook in his hands].

 I even suggested that Zolotarev's body (the third one you saw when you got out of the helicopter) was immediately secretly taken away [to Moscow for examination] and Doroshenko's body was put in its place

I walked 35 km a day in the mountains, but on a beaten path. It seems to me that at the place of the storage shed you could have left absolutely everything, taken 2 liters of water with you (in summer it is better to take 4 liters of water), and moved lightly there and back. Well, you can also take bread, but eat it quickly, before it turns green. I understand that the conditions there are different (frost, snow, wind), but there and back it is exactly 36 km. Monya writes in the report that in one day you together walked 40 km on Otorten. Why, one wonders, take a saw and axes with you if there are no trees on the way? Then I found the answer that you need to cut down a tree and drag the tree, drag it from the forest to the top. For this, one day is clearly not enough.
