7th All-Russian Conference "Dyatlov Pass", Yekaterinburg

The 7th All-Russian Conference on the Dyatlov Pass, organized by the Dyatlov Group Memorial Foundation, was successfully held in Yekaterinburg on May 16, 2026. You can watch the exclusive full video of the conference on Oleg Rybakov's history channel, "History and Reflections".

Oleg Rybakov, a member of the board of the Dyatlov Memorial Foundation: "Our Foundation holds nationwide conferences, which always attract a large number of viewers who are deeply interested in the mystery of the Dyatlov group's death. Our Foundation managed to find and invite Yuri Yudin's friend and fellow Lyudmila Vorotnikova, member of the Polyus hiking club. Conference delegates learned new, previously unknown details about his life. The delegates visited the graves of the Dyatlov group members and personally honored their memory; our Foundation has organized a bus tour for this purpose." By holding all-Russian conferences, our Foundation perpetuates the memory of the deceased hikers of the Dyatlov Pass group and preserves their memory for posterity and future researchers of the Dyatlov Pass tragedy."
