Analysis of all the photos of the search engines of the Dyatlov group

2024 Author: Seth Attwood | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-16 15:55

At one time, the frames from the films of the group itself were taken apart "by the bones," the time has come for the search engines' films. "Materials of the newspaper Uzhny Ural":

PART I

The conditional outline of the first find, of the few that the Dyatlov group found in the area of the famous cedar, at the foot of the mountain, which, according to the 1959 maps, was designated as height 1079, is shown in Figure 1.

What is the outline?

In order for the reader to understand where this contour came from and what it is in general, we will immediately turn to the original source. The photograph shown in Figure 2, which we will consider below, was taken by a student of the Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI) Mokhov, who was a participant in the search for the dead Dyatlovites at the end of April, at the beginning of May 1959. At the moment, the film and photographs taken from it are stored in the memory fund of the Dyatlov group, which is headed by Yuri Kuntsevich.

To begin with, let's make general comments for this photo, which thereby already make it unusual. In the photo we see how something is being taken out of the snow cave. The front part is carried by two soldiers, the middle part is held by the left hand by Colonel Ortyukov, the head of the search. The rear part is carried by the radio operator Nevolin, in a striped cap and glasses. It should be noted that Colonel Ortyukov commanded all the search engines, that is, he had officers, two dozen soldiers and 30 civilians under his command. Everyone who served in the army understands that a real colonel in this situation, at best, would stand on a hillock and from there would lead his subordinates, and most likely would sit in a warm tent and wait for reports there. Likewise, the radio operator in any team is a special person, he is the only one, except for the commander, who is aware of all matters, since all information in the form of radiograms passes through his hands. Therefore, he usually does not do anything except the radio. What do we see here? Two leaders personally carry something, not trusting it, not just civilians, even their own officers. Only something extremely important could make these people do it.

Next, we will make one more general remark. Everyone who looked at the photo of the dead Dyatlovites clearly distinguished the upper and lower parts of their clothes. On top were usually jackets, windbreakers, cowboy shirts and the like. Well, the bottom is wearing trousers, pants and so on. In the photographs, the upper part of the clothing differed from the lower one not only in shape, but also in color, texture and arrangement of folds. What do we see here? From start to finish, everything is packed with material of the same black color and the same texture, most likely some kind of film. Moreover, in some places it is tied with ropes.

Dyatlov's apparatus

After these two comments, let's look at this photo more closely, for ease of study, the photo is divided into zones, which are given numbers and conditional names, namely: zone No. 1 - three pins, zone No. 2 - disc, zone No. 3 - shaft, zone No. 4 - casing. And what Colonel Ortyukov holds in his right hand and looks like some kind of remote control, I didn’t emphasize, so as not to clutter up the drawing.

Three pins

Figure 3 shows a close-up of zone number 1, here we see in the place where a person usually has a head, some three protrusions, two in the foreground, another one looks out in the background. I think there is also a fourth, but it is not visible in this photo. Here we can already assume that the colonel and his assistants are carrying some kind of mechanism.

Disk

Figure 4 shows an enlarged area number 2, where something round appears under the film, with a diameter of about 30 cm and a thickness of about 5 cm. I will tell you just below how each one can measure it. Looking at this, conventionally speaking "disk", many motorists will say that it is very similar to an air filter, but of course we do not know what is inside.

Figure 3. Close-up of zone No. 1 Figure 4. Close-up of zone No. 2

Shaft

Figure 5 shows zone # 3. At the place where a person's waist is usually located, we see a sharp narrowing. The size of the constriction can be measured. For this, the thumb of Colonel Ortyukov, who is very conveniently located next to this place, is suitable. As you know, the length of the thumb of an adult male is on average 7 cm. To begin with, we will measure this place in the snow, that is, from a white at the bottom to a white background at the top of this narrowing. It turned out that this constriction is 12 cm. It is clear that no adult has such a small waist. In fact, this constriction is even smaller. If you remove the shadow from the measurement and measure this place along the ropes that press the film to the device, then you will get an inhuman size of 6 cm. Looking at the kind of ropes that they took in this place, we can say that under the film there is something small round diameter, in technology this is usually called a shaft.

Shroud

Figure 6 shows zone 4, or more precisely, this is what the radio operator Nevolin is carrying. If the colonel and two soldiers carry a device where the front and middle parts are horizontal, then the radio operator takes out the back of the mechanism, which is located vertically, that is, perpendicular to the main part. It is simply unrealistic to imagine that the legs of a person lay down like that. In addition, we see that the film at the top half slid off and some kind of gray casing appeared from under it. Fishermen will probably say that it looks a lot like a boat motor.

So, after a careful analysis of this photograph of the search engine Mokhov, we can conclude that Colonel Ortyukov and his team are not carrying the body of a deceased tourist, but some kind of apparatus of unknown design and very vague origin. It should be clarified here that the colonel was looking not only for missing tourists, but also for this particular device. How he found out about his existence in this area will be described below.

Where did this apparatus come from and what happened?

Colonel Ortyukov was the third who found this device, the second was Dyatlov, and the first was a former prisoner who was left in these parts for a settlement. During the hunt, something fell from the sky before his eyes, he fixed this place and decided to use this information for his complete liberation. He knew that the military was very worried about the flights of unknown objects in the area and he offered them a deal - he showed them the device, they were seeking its complete release. But the military did not directly organize an expedition with him, they were afraid of something, they decided to do it through tourists. Since, due to caution, this exile indicated a large area, it was decided to organize two marching groups, Dyatlov and Sogrin. For insurance, a young representative of the special service was present in Dyatlov's group, Zolotarev was such a representative in Sogrin's group.

A few days before the start of the campaign, this exile, the future guide, indicated exactly the area where to go. The closest to this place was the route of the Dyatlov group, and Zolotarev was urgently transferred here to strengthen control over the guide. For this, Dyatlov was forced to remove his friend from the group under the pretext of retaking the exam. Then it really turned out that he passed all the exams ahead of schedule for four and five, but these little things no longer worried anyone.

Since Dyatlov could not officially take an unprepared person, not an athlete-tourist, with him on a difficult hike, we agreed with Yudin that he would carry his backpack with the necessary property to the place of meeting with this guide, and then the guide would carry this burden, and he would as an alibi, pretend to be sick and come back.

To communicate with the military, Dyatlov had to use his homemade low-power radio and send messages to the radio operator of the geological party, Nevolin, who, through his powerful radio station, transmitted everything further to the destination. The fact that Dyatlov had such a radio was recorded in the case without a number in the protocol of the interrogation of Kolevatov's sister.

Having gone on a hike, a few days later Dyatlov's group came to the desired area and began to dig out the apparatus in the place indicated by the guide. They recorded the moment of the beginning of the excavation in the photo. Now many say that it is the Dyatlovites who are setting up the tent. But they had installed this tent, made in 1957, a hundred times already and they were not interested in it for photographing, but the discovery of an unknown apparatus was undoubtedly of historical interest, which had to be filmed.

After the apparatus was dug up, Dyatlov's group split into two parts. Four members began to make the flooring in order to transfer the apparatus there, there to clear it of snow and prepare it for transportation. For this purpose, they donated part of their clothing, which they later spread around the edges of the flooring as a rag.

The other five tourists approached the cedar to make a dinner fire and set up a tent. Here Krivonischenko took out a copper wire from his pocket and climbed onto the cedar with it, in order to thereby organize a primitive antenna for Dyatlov's radio. This coil of copper wire will be found in Krivonischenko's pocket by the medical examiner Vozrozhdenny, which is recorded in the criminal case.

Here we need to say a little more about the Reborn. Since the guide had a mustache, and of all the official participants in the campaign of the Dyatlov group, only Zolotarev was a mustache, the forensic scientist Revived the former prisoner, that is, the guide, was designed as Zolotarev, describing in detail all his tattoos on his hands and seven white metal teeth in his mouth. But as you know, the real Zolotarev did not have tattoos on his hands and he had only one metal tooth of yellow color, that is, gold. Later, it is possible that they figured out this and buried the already true Zolotarev in Sverdlovsk. But the one who cleaned the criminal case without a number apparently got confused with these zolotarevs and left in the case an examination of the false Zolotarev with all his tattoos on his hands and seven teeth made of cheap metal.

After installing the temporary antenna, Dyatlov transmitted over the radio that the device was found, its coordinates are such and such, send a helicopter. Then they obviously got down to the planned work. But after a while, everything changed dramatically. Probably, when trying to transfer this device, tourists accidentally turned it on and it started working on the remnants of energy in an emergency. The suddenly working apparatus had the most detrimental effect on people. They were subjected to psychological, thermal, mechanical, possibly radiation effects, and it is also possible that they were influenced by energy and force fields that are currently unknown to official science, as a result of which they died.

This short-term emergency operation of an apparatus of unknown design affected not only people, but also the surrounding nature, albeit at a limited distance from it. In particular, he gathered around him four tourists in a stream and a large mass of snow, which reached a height of three to four meters here. Five Dyatlovites in the area of the cedar were outside the zone of the snow effect from the operation of this device, so their bodies were quickly found by the military, who arrived here some time later by helicopter on Dyatlov's radiogram. But the device itself, the four tourists, the flooring and something else they will find only after a few months of searching due to the existence of this particular large build-up of snow.

PART II. Someone near the machine

In addition to the apparatus, which was mentioned in the first part, the Dyatlovites found something else, the importance of which is undoubted. Later, after a while, knowing the coordinates of the finds from Dyatlov's radiogram and thanks to his persistence, Colonel Ortyukov and his team re-discovered the same. And the search engine Mokhov and his photographs will help us to see all this. Consider the second photo of Mokhov, which is shown in Figure 7, the first we studied in the first part. In all the photographs that will be presented below, the areas of special attention will be circled and numbered, they will also be given purely conditional names. In this photo, zone number 5 "Black mitten" is circled. Before I say what this means for this tragic story, it is necessary to provide a general explanation of this unique photograph of its kind.

Figure 7. Photo of Mokhov with an unknown person in a "black mitten"

The importance of this photograph is that it shows the surrounding area where these photographs were taken, as well as the composition of the participants in this event, which is very important for this criminal case. As we can see, in this picture, as well as in the previous one from the first part and the two subsequent ones, the composition of the porters is the same. In front there are always two soldiers, behind Colonel Ortyukov and radio operator Nevolin, in his striped cap and a pompom at the top. This suggests that all these photos were taken on the same day, the removal of the Dyatlov apparatus and everything else also happened at the same time. And this means that all these finds lay in one place. It can also be seen that everyone is carried out of the same snow cave, and most importantly, the stream is nowhere to be seen. And as is known from the criminal case, all the bodies of the last four Dyatlovites lay right in the stream, which is clearly visible in the corresponding photographs.

Further on this photo you can see how important these finds were, that they drove a helicopter in advance. In the foreground, with his back to us in a leather jacket, is a military helicopter pilot with a pistol in a holster, on the left, facing us, the second military pilot. Therefore, as soon as the priceless cargo is taken out, it will be immediately loaded into a helicopter and taken away where necessary. Even more remarkable is the fact of who else is at this moment in this place. Comrade Ivanov, a forensic prosecutor from the city of Sverdlovsk, is watching the removal of everything valuable from the cave (standing on the left next to the pilot, leaning on a ski pole), next to him, in a gray raincoat, is the prosecutor of the city of Ivdel, Comrade Tempalov. Not far from Tempalov, two civilian search engines, UPI students, are standing and watching all this.

Here, it is also necessary to state another remarkable fact, which manifested itself only after a long period of time. Namely, none of those present here in the photo reported to the higher authorities that student Mokhov had photographed these historical moments. If at least one of them let it slip, then the next day serious people in civilian clothes would come to Mokhov and confiscate his camera, all the films and photographs, and you and I would no longer look at these photos with such interest.

Another interesting point is suggested by this photo. In the search for Dyatlov's apparatus, Colonel Ortyukov was still unlucky in one thing. They found the device and everything that was next to it before they found the bodies of the last four Dyatlovites, and therefore all civilian search engines saw these finds, including Mokhov … home of all civilian search engines and without unnecessary witnesses would continue to search for Dyatlov's apparatus. Knowing the stubbornness of Colonel Ortyukov, we can safely say that he would have certainly found him, although we would never have known about this.

Due to the fact that at the beginning they found the device and only a few days later four tourists, the competent organizations managed to conduct an initial express analysis of everything found and came to the conclusion that all these finds pose a certain threat to humans. Therefore, when in May the expert Vozrozhdenny began to autopsy the last four dead tourists Zolotarev, Kolevatov, Dubinina and Thibault-Brignoles with the participation of the second expert Churkina and the criminal prosecutor Ivanov, then to reduce the possible unknown, but dangerous influence on people from the bodies of these tourists, for a barrel of pure alcohol was urgently delivered to them. After working with the dead, each of them plunged into this barrel with their heads.

It should be noted here that after the funeral in May 1959 of the last four Dyatlovites, the area of the mountain with the designation height 1079 was declared by the military a restricted area. This limitation was in effect for three years. One must think that in the summer they checked every centimeter of space and took all the most interesting with them, leaving nothing for history.

Black gauntlet

Figure 8. Close-up of zone 5 "Black mitten"

After general explanations to Figure 7, go directly to zone 5 "Black mitten". Figure 8 shows a close-up of this area. Here we see that on the right hand of the stranger, who is carried out by the colonel and his team, a black mitten is worn. And as you know from the criminal case without a number, the forensic expert Vozrozhdenny did not find any of the dead Dyatlovtsy on their hands either mittens or gloves. In addition, this unknown person has gloves directly connected to the sleeve, and the impression is that it is hermetically sealed. It is also surprising that there is no special compartment for the thumb, which is usually found on mittens for people.

Gray gauntlet

In Figure 9, we see the same brigade of movers, led by the colonel, who carry the second unknown person out of the snow cave.

Figure 9. Photo of Mokhov with an unknown person in a "gray mitten"

The first soldier is holding this unknown person in front, by the collar, in the middle he is being carried by the second soldier in the foreground, behind him is Colonel Ortyukov. The radio operator Nevolin just emerged from the snowy cave, his hat with a pompom on top is sticking out. The stripes on the cap are not visible, as it is in the shade. In order not to return to this photograph with a general plan of the removal of the second unknown, we note only one thing here: the colonel is holding something very similar to a telephone receiver in his right hand. And now let's move on to considering zone 6.

Figure 10. Close-up of zone 6 "Gray mitten"

As we can see here, on the left hand of the unknown person, a gray mitten is worn, without a protrusion for the thumb. In addition, it is clearly seen here that the gray mitten is mounted into the sleeve without any gaps, roughly speaking, it is simply sewn to it. But I also want to note here that it seems to me that he has an earpiece on his ear.

Three-fingered glove

In Figure 11, we see the same composition of workers, led by the colonel, in all the blaze of the sun's rays.

Figure 11. Photo of Mokhov with an unknown person in the "Three-Fingered Glove"

But the third unknown, whom they carry out of the snow cave, is different from the two previous ones. Firstly, he has long hair, and secondly, he does not have a mitten on his left hand, like the first two, but a three-fingered glove.

Figure 12. Close-up of zone No. 7 "Three-fingered glove"

Figure 12 clearly shows that this three-fingered glove is not sewn blindly to the sleeve. A kind of protrusion of the glove above the sleeve is clearly visible. It should be noted here that no one ever spoke about the three-fingered member of the Dyatlov tourist group, there were simply no such people there.

What's the bottom line?

As can be seen from the analysis of four photographs (the first photo with the removal of the Dyatlov apparatus from the snow cave is considered in the first part of this article) of the UPI student Mokhov, a participant in the search for tourists from the Dyatlov group at the end of April, at the beginning of May 1959, the brigade of Colonel Ortyukov on one day from one place was carried out by three unknown persons and some kind of large-sized technical device. Also, Colonel Ortyukov personally took out at least two small parts in the form of a telephone receiver and a small remote control. But these were not all the finds of the Dyatlov group, which, on his tip, were re-searched for by the decisive colonel and his team.

Those who were near the Dyatlov apparatus are described in this part of the article. But since here it was necessary to use several photographs that were rather heavy in terms of memory, the next, already inanimate objects found by Dyatlov and his comrades will be described in the third part of the article, namely: Dyatlov's non-lifting find.

PART III. Dyatlov's non-lifting find

In the previous two parts of this article, four photographs were considered taken by an UPI student Mokhov, who took part in the search for the dead Dyatlovites. The next two photos were taken by another search engine and they are also stored in the memory fund of the Dyatlov group. The head of the fund, Yuri Kuntsevich, can provide full information on them.

Colonel Ortyukov's beam crane

Figure 13 shows the first of these photographs. Colonel Ortyukov is standing here in the foreground on the left in a cap. Behind him is a mighty structure made of logs, around which, as well as on the upper log, his subordinates are located. This arrangement of the participants in the construction is not accidental, they show us the scale of the construction and do not cover in the center the most important thing, for the sake of which all this was started. In zone 8, a very unusual thing is seen, conventionally called the "Otorten wheel" and which will be discussed a little later.

Figure 13. Colonel Ortyukov's girder crane and "Otorten wheel"

At the first minute, looking at these logs, everyone asks the question - why is all this done? And this is Colonel Ortyukov, thanks to his combat experience gained during the Patriotic War, he built a primitive lifting mechanism from the material at hand, something like a crane-beam. Having thrown three or four ropes over the upper log, several people, pulling them towards themselves, can lift something very heavy. What the colonel was about to lift can be clearly seen in Figure 14, which shows a close-up of zone 8. Here we see some kind of openwork wheel. Those who lived a little under socialism will immediately say that it is very similar to the wheel of the Soviet lunar rover, light and durable. But it is obvious that the Cyclopean structure was not built for this easy thing. The wheel was only part of a heavy mechanism, the bulk of which was submerged in the swamp. To get this heavy find of Dyatlov out of the swamp mud, this powerful device was made from logs by Colonel Ortyukov and his team.

Figure 14. Close-up of zone No. 8 "Otorten Wheel"

Here it must be said that this crane-beam was all the more not intended to get the last four Dyatlovtsy from the stream out of the stream. Their bodies were simply carried out of the stream by the search engines.

Plate

The next photo of an unnamed search engine, shown in Figure 15, even more clearly showed us its staged character to highlight the main thing in it.

Here, all the participants in the shooting are compactly in the center, but Colonel Ortyukov is not among them. But so that everyone knows what team they are from, in the foreground on the left is a ski pole stuck into the snow with a colonel's hat at the top. Well, the main culprit of the photographing took an honorable place in front of everyone, and even comfortably on a sheepskin coat in zone 9. What is in this zone can be clearly seen in Figure 16.

Many will probably think that this is a miniature copy of the famous cymbal. But most likely this is a small detail from an unknown device, since the tourists-athletes themselves hardly brought this thing here with them in February 1959.

It should be especially noted here that all participants in the search for the dead tourists were warned in one serious organization that they have no right to speak about what they will see here. But they forgot to say about the fact that it is impossible to show their findings. As a result, from 1959, the search engines sent us their wonderful pictures, on which they silently stand, but with their whole appearance they tell us: look carefully at us and draw the right conclusions from our findings.

Analysis of all photos

At the end of this article, we will briefly summarize the analysis of the reviewed photographs. Colonel Ortyukov and his team found the Dyatlov apparatus, the bodies of three unknown persons, a heavy device, a plate and small parts - a telephone receiver and a control panel at the place of the death of tourists.

The investigator who conducted a criminal case without a number about the death of tourists from the Dyatlov group in the area of Mount Otorten, the criminal prosecutor from the city of Sverdlovsk, Comrade Ivanov, very sincerely closed this case in May 1959 with his famous phrase: “… the cause of the death of tourists was a spontaneous force, which to overcome the tourists were not able to. He was absolutely right, since he personally observed the removal of this materialized elemental force from the snow cave in the form of the Dyatlov apparatus, leaning on a ski pole (see the second part of the article, Figure 7).

And about Dyatlov and his comrades on this campaign, we can say that these are courageous guys, they deliberately went in search of a mysterious apparatus, and everything unknown always carries a threat. Therefore, their death must be equated with an accident during testing with a technically complex device. If there is a public organization that will petition the relevant authorities to award all members of the Dyatlov group with the Order of Courage (posthumously), then many Russian citizens will join this request.

In conclusion, I would like to say that, as we found out from the photographs of Mokhov and other civilian search engines, in early February, near the Otorten Mountain, Dyatlov and his comrades found a lot of unusual things, then Colonel Ortyukov and his team re-discovered all this on his tip. The removal of the valuable cargo was observed by both military and civilians, as well as representatives of the prosecutor's office Ivanov and Tempalov. Therefore, if the military, due to the specifics of their activities, is pointless to ask any questions about this case, then the prosecutor's office is quite reasonable to ask the question: Where is the Dyatlov apparatus? This is material evidence from the scene of the tragedy.

P. S. While the Prosecutor's Office and the Investigative Committee of Russia, as the reason for the death of the Dyatlov group, will only talk about an avalanche, a snow board or something like that, until then one plucked criminal case without a number with a strange date of its opening will appear for public viewing. But this will only mean that the Dyatlov apparatus continues to be of tremendous value for our state in terms of defense capability, and the time has not yet come to inform the general public about its existence.

It should also be borne in mind that perhaps the leadership of our country is already ready to publicly pay tribute to the heroism of the Dyatlov group and open some details of this case, but for most people, public and church organizations on planet Earth, this may turn out to be too strong a shock and therefore they have to wait … As the saying goes, "The device is small, but very expensive" in all respects.
