Dear comrades,
I am coming out with a book. Here are a couple of words before I dive back into the chapters, because it is a real mystery how I am going to finish by February 1 as desired. Since I haven't read a book that I like on the subject I thought for all the years involved in the case that publishing information on the web is the way to help solve this case. I diligently collected, translated, promoted, and did everything in my power to broaden the volume of information accessible to the English speaking world. I didn't do it for publicity and I have no advertising, but it is biblical that if you build it they will come. More people with information will come to me. And they did. Secretly I hoped that it will dawn on me some revelation, or I will come across a piece of information that will crack the case. You know that this is not how it goes, every piece of information comes with strings attached and already in a context of a theory. I have always been careful to present the information aside of the theories it comes with. You know that I don't like any of the existing theories. When Discovery Channel told me I must have a theory, I honestly said what I knew best - Zolotaryov came out of the tent to take photos, called the rest to look at the sky and someone confronted and ordered them down to die from exposure. This is not a theory, this is just... you know, instead talking of UFO and Yeti. But it is not a theory, it doesn't explain anything. At the time I said I would even wear the Yeti costume, just to take me to the pass. I wanted to go really bad. I was living a careless life back then, solving the case was all in the future. I was doing well, I was going to the Urals.
Part II - Something shifted inside me while on the pass. I was not preoccupied with logistics, equipment, footage, it was all taken care of by the best professionals, both camera crew and Russian support. I had time to observe and think. Something was awfully wrong with this place, with this case, it just couldn't have happened like that. No one, I mean there is no way one would choose this particular location to pitch a tent, to go down, then to try to go up again, it is insane. It didn't happen like that. I,
the world's foremost expert on the Dyatlov Pass incident have never been so humbled and bewildered. Something was not right. The feeling you have when looking at a face with mirrored halves.
Part III - Then the solution of the case was brought to me on a silver platter. My efforts paid off. It was worth it. Suddenly all made sense. I thought that's it, I am free, we are free... but then I felt like the cat that swallowed the canary. Where do you turn, who do you tell, how do you introduce this theory, it is the labor of 10 years of thought process with 200 pages of information, more if you make it into a book. And this is without any visuals. Me, who considered books being a stiff and egoistic format for this subject, I suggested a book. I thought since we have the solution to the case agents will jump on it. They did... only - change the title, change the topic, write it differently, call everything differently, you are not published, get someone famous for co-author... What does it matter for a case that has been cold for 61 years? I tried to find an agent for a year, and in October I decided we are going to publish independently on February 1, 2021. To me it is more important to get the theory and information out. Why not just publish it on the site? How can I make you read through 300 pages (with the maps, and we are not talking maps of the trek only, other maps about something going on at that time) in some order, to sink in what happened? It is very important to read all of it to understand, because the how, the who and the why are very unbalanced to relate to. What was difficult till now to explain - how did they die is a slam dunk. For what happened next you need to read some documents that you haven't seen before and use your judgment. I am not going to regurgitate this information for you. You need to read it and make sense. I can not make it easier for you. Usually when people pay for a book they tend to read it cover to cover. For example a key piece of information is in
this article. How many of you have read it? It is one of the first articles I translated. The book uses more than 50 sources of a similar difficulty to read. At least now we are going to point to you what to look for in these documents. A lot of the facts are known but not put in the right context.
Part IV - I won't be able to participate in the discussions before the book comes out. Wish me luck to be able to put together as much as I can. It is colossal work. As a way to divert some of the stress I am going to keep a web container dedicated to the book and have a section for each chapter to bring more information and what we couldn't fit in the book. If something seems hard to understand you will have a lifeline, references I that I will update every time a new fact is added, or a question asked.
Now I really have to go back to the snowdrift of unfinished chapters.
Happy Holidays everyone! My wish for the New 2021 Year is to publish the book.
