R.I.P. Yuri Kuntsevich

R.I.P. Yuri Kuntsevich

27 March 1947 - 11 August 2021

Yuri Kuntsevich died at the age of 74 in Yekaterinburg on the morning of August 11, 2021. For 20 years he headed the Dyatlov Group Memory Fund.

He was hospitalized after an expedition to the Dyatlov Pass that started on July 31, 2021. A group of ten people gathered, including British journalist Graham Phillips. Yuri Kuntsevich was forced to turn back after only 6 km on the first day of the trip because he felt an old knee injury. He was escorted back to the base camp on Auspiya river by a member of the group who then caught up with the rest. From the campsite on the Auspiya river, Yuri Kuntsevich joined the next group going back to Ivdel. During the expedition, Yuri Kuntsevich complained that his knee hurt. Upon arrival, he was admitted to a hospital due to overall weakness. In the hospital, it turned out he had damage on 40% of his lung. Yuri Kuntsevich died due to Covid-19.

Yuri Kuntsevich is survived by wife Olga (Yekaterinburg), son Aleksandr (at his funeral), who lives in Moscow, and a daughter, who lives in Australia.

Russians often use their first and patronymic names. Full name Yuri Konstantinovich Kuntsevich. The two comments you are referring to did not come from the same person, I see two different IPs.Yuri Kuntsevich was not vaccinated for Covid-19.
Mystery 14-04-2024 21:21 (GMT)
I also wonder why there's 2 Russian comments, posted a minute apart, calling him Yuri Konstantinovich? (Юрий Константинович 11-08-2021)? perhaps posted by the same person?
Mystery 14-04-2024 21:12 (GMT)
Was he vaccinated in Russia? I understand the Sputnik vaccine does not contain mRNA so what poisons are in it? Covid-19 does not exist!! it was an American HOAX perpetrated by Dr fauci. he is the one behind all this. So it begs to ask: what did this gentleman actually die of?

Evidently his subconscious mind programmed him to die under mysterious circumstances, for his own death to be investigated the way he investigated the deaths of the 9 hikers! In America we call this life imitates art. This button detail the mystery behind this is it is simply a subconscious programming but the mystery remains: what did he die of? what was he injected with? Big Pharma substances in the hospital perhaps retaliation from the government because he revealed too much to the Americans in their Yeti Massacre documentary?

R.I.P. , Yuri! How fitting that your episodes of Expedition Unknown first aired 3 days after your passing. You live on through your work
Fynn Döhring 19-09-2021 11:07 (GMT)
It took me a while, before this tragic news reached me. But this man did so much! His work may will be the fundament for a giant mystery, to be solved in future. What he did, in the case of Dyatlov Pass was incredible! I won't forget him or what he did, my prayers go to his family, and i hope, that he will and can rest in peace.
