Can something so big remain a secret?
Dyatlov’s sister Tatyana tells the BBC, “The families were told, ‘You will never know the truth, so stop asking questions…Don’t forget, in those days if they told you to shut up, you would be silent.” Contrary to the belief of Dyatlov families, Yudin, and other people who have studied the ‘military involvement’ theory, Natalia Varsegova, a researcher with “biggest selling newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, has a different take on the matter, “If the young people had been killed by an experiment, there is no way the military would have allowed ordinary civilians, friends of the students, to join the search party on that mountain…one of the soldiers would have let it slip before he died – someone would have said something in drunk company. We live in a country where nobody can keep any secrets.”
