Whose body is this?

On 15 of March 2019 Russian channel 1 aired a show about the expedition to the Dyatlov Pass with the participation of journalists from Komsomolskaya Pravda, television, representatives of the prosecutor's office and experts.

You can turn on the auto translation for the captions in Russian, which are also automatic, but better than nothing.

The expedition is leaving for Dyatlov Pass few hours after the show, according to its host Andrey Malahov who is also going. There will be 3 groups:

• Vladimir Sungorkin - Chief Editor, Komsomolskaya Pravda, Expedition Leader / Idea and organization
• Aleksandr Mitroshenko - Producer, Expedition Leader / Sponsor and in exchange has the right to broadcast
• Andrey Kuryakov - Head of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Sverdlovsk Region / They will have a separate camp that will also host the experts

Outline, participants in the show in the order of their appearance, and the theories they favor:

Andrey Skvortsov
Weather Forecast Meteorologist
1. Infrasound

He claims the raised footprints of the hikers are fake. As proof shows the Burmantovo weather report for February 1959. Skvortsov says that 10 days of snowfall and strong wind leaves slim chance for such footprints to be preserved the way that they are documented.

Natalya Varsegova
Komsomolskaya Pravda

She says that Burmantovo is 100 km south of Kholat Syakhl, too far away for the weather report to be applied without any doubts. Also Dyatlov Pass is much higher.

Vladimir Sungorkin
Chief Editor, Komsomolskaya Pravda, Expedition Leader

Andrey Kuryakov (insertion of a video from the press conference Feb 4th 2019)
Head of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Sverdlovsk Region

Kuryakov says that the most important moment for the development of the events of the night of 1-2nd of Feb 1959 is why the hikers fled the tent under these conditions.

Vladimir Askinadzi

Askinadzi says that there are two Lev Ivanov persons - before and after he went to Moscow (for which btw we don't have any proof that he went to Moscow).

Aleksandra Ivanova
Daugther of Lev Ivanov, lead investigator of Dyatlov group case in 1959

Aleksandra Ivanova says that Lev Ivanov was not summoned to Moscow, he was ordinary invetigator, it was enought to call him in the Regional Party Committee to tell him to close the case. So Lev Ivanov had to come up with a conclusion to close the case and this is what he could think of "overwhelming force, which the hikers were not able to overcome".

The sensation was when on 47:00 a photo from Lev Ivanov's archive was shown for first time of a frozen body that is not any known member of Dyatlov group. Or is it?

• the photo is given to Dyatlov Group Foundation (Y. Kuntsevich) by the relatives of lead investigator Lev Ivanov, along with other materials from his personal archive
• the photo was published by the Foundation, but the body was scratched. Only now for the first time the photo appeared in its original form
• it is still not clear whether this photo is related to Dyatlov group incident. It is possible that this is a photo from another case, which Ivanov also investigated

As a follow up to the publication avid Dyatlov Pass incident researcher Dr. Galina Sazonova sent me the following information.

It might be of interest what I found in the archives of the prosecutor's office - other 1959 cases of Lev Ivanov.
Unfortunately, I didn’t make copies, I just rewrote the text.
