Zolotaryov's knife

[Axelrod]

This topic originally came up on Facebook, I even wrote a comment there. But after my comment I received 2 calls on my smartphone. I use my smartphone only as a camera, without any other activity, but my Facebook login is linked to that number. I haven't received any calls on my phone for 2 years, until I created a new account in Facebook.


That's why I'm answering here, I don't want unnecessary calls. I found a causal link with Facebook (which is considered a terrorist organization in Russia), it remains to find a link in other places.



Theodora asks:
How do you know it belonged to the Dyatlov group? Why Zolotaryov?
Her previous text:
Jan 28, 1959, leaving 2nd Northern. Dubinina, Zolotaryov, and Kolmogorova cleaning their skis with knives. In this photo we can't really see the make of the knives used, most probably Dubinina and Kolmogorova had penknives. Zolotaryov's knife is hanging on a lanyard from his pocket. None of these knives were ever found, not in the tent, not on the bodies, not in the ravine.

Yes, in the photo there is wine on the rope with which the knife is tied to the pocket. My father tied his keys this way.
I gave a link to a video with Yuri Yudin in the ravine (summer 2009)


Sasha Kan thinks that this is Dubinina's knife, because Dubinina was found in that place. But Sasha Kan is very straightforward. I think that Zolotaryov was also nearby. Perhaps, when Zolotaryov was pulled out, the rotten rope with the knife broke, and the knife remained.
The previous item could be this item (presumably):

There is evidence from Vladimirov about the launch of signal flares.



There is an assumption from somebody - that Dubinina and Kolmogorova are also holding knives in their hands. I think that the author of this idea is a fan of bladed weapons, and I am not such a fan.
I think it's a piece of soap, according to Dubinina's last line in the diary.

This photograph raises many questions. The first thought is that Zolotaryov has not yet decided on his sympathy, Dubinin and Kolmogorov. We will see the result of his choice later.
The second thought is about wooden poles with crossbars. My first thought was that these are poles for telephone wires. Yes, 50 meters away we see other such poles. But why three poles next to each other is unclear. I think that the craftsman dealt with telephone poles, and these poles were made according to the same scheme. Perhaps the poles were simply made extra.


Different versions can be built. Perhaps there is a version that Dubinina gave the diary to Yudin (as a keepsake), because the scene of farewell to Yudin is later in the photographs.



And Dubinina's diary is missing in the protocol of the tent discovery.

If Dubinina used a pencil instead of a knife, she could have broken the pencil and could not have filled out her diary on the hike.
