he publishes, e, the schedule of climbing mount elbrus, and also in the course of this, he recruits, e, guides and their assistants, who directly raise this group already on the climbing e territory of the city of pyatigorsk, he has an office. their travel agency has an address right here cathedral 20. here. well, i'm sorry, i'm really promoted. i really don’t understand, even something for a company, somehow it’s not even heard of me at all, we tried to find the office of an individual entrepreneur alimov it would seem that there is nothing complicated on the website of the office address, the city of pyatigorsk, cathedral street, house 20. we approach the specified building. there is a guest house here. rooms for rent, no

signage, nothing like the office of ip whale. alimov was not found by our film crew. we are trying unsuccessfully to find the office of the elbrus guide company, which organized the climb to elbrus, now we will try to call the office. hello nikolai please tell me, where is your office located? we are trying to find your office in pyatigorsk and got a little lost. let's

try to recreate the history of that fateful climbing elbrus program included many stages at the beginning of several days of acclimatization, some tourists abandoned the trip. as a result, 16 people went to the top of elbrus. they were accompanied by denis alimov's subordinates, two guides. ilya chuikov and anton nikiforov and two more assistant guides daulan, kip kiev igor dankov. all of them considered themselves experienced climbers who had climbed elbrus more than once. yes, and the route was familiar to them. when

purchasing an m.video accessory or service, your birthday is a 10% discount on purchases with a card from magnet applications. is she ready? for the sake of a pair of big special, you profitably expanded three cheeses. what business is pretty attractive and up to ten million rubles? we help with the business of a smartphone at a discount, more money for communication, this is because we are agents, because subscribers at an exclusive price

from the number one mobile operator megafon noy because it is higher than 5642 m. time was no exception from the base camp, the group started at 2:00 am before height 5.100 m. tourists got on rotraks. the group went further on foot. the so-called saddle is the space between the two peaks of elbrus

at a height of 5.642 m. the tourists arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning. the guide, 28-year-old ilya chuikov, told us what happened next, he led tourists to the top. now this young man is a defendant in a criminal case, the group literally in 20 minutes of descent turned from a walking, adequate, vigorous group into participants who absolutely physically could not control themselves with their legs. besides at the moment, probably two people were able to go. as soon as the railing ended due to a strong snowstorm. uh, the guides tied up the participants, we made two bundles out of them, but we could not move away from, probably, from 10 m. state of health according to well-being. ah, both ligaments broke first, the first, then literally after 10 seconds, i wanted the second to roll out

onto the saddle. and during this rolling, one of the participants tried to slow down with a cat, what should i do? well, we can’t say, that’s how they taught it, and as it turned out, well, below it was confirmed broke his leg in three places, judging by the words of chuikov , panic began at the height and among the travelers and among the accompanying no one knew how to act in an emergency situation. chuikov insists that he took all measures to save people. i had a satellite your phone. all the guides had navigators, that is, some technical ones were provided, and the problem is more difficult with the fact that in such a blizzard and a strong blizzard i did not see such a blizzard, but it was impossible to work, because the sensors did not stop responding to frozen fingers. i am just sputnik shouted i shouted our coordinates. i shouted, how many of us are people, where are we and

called the rescuers. there was a satellite. we successfully contacted him unsuccessfully, and at that time we could not understand, and as it turned out, the rescuers did not confirm that there was some kind of signal. that's when i made a decision, and start descending and contact the rescuers already from the site, which is called the oblique ledge. this section of 5 300 to 100 chuikov's story does not sound very convincing until now is not clear. why couldn't the alarm be sounded immediately after the weather turned bad, why did the guides take time to answer these questions the defendants and the boxes could not answer. i am the person who took responsibility for this group. who met them there in pyatigorsk, who, let's say, was supposed to return them to this pyatigorsk, no one deliberately tried to harm, who did not save, intentionally there

his life, substituting the lives of the participants, so it's hard for me to say, that is, i am in any case, like a guide, like a person. i feel responsible for this group. kova, private guide, anton nikiforov does not seem to feel guilty, he was also charged with talking to our film crew . just turned to face the wall. the fact is that the person involved in the criminal case allegedly agreed with one of the federal channels to give exclusive comments for a fee. now everything is ah. well , most of the people they let down alive, that is, the client who died, she died almost

in front of my eyes. she begins to completely, in my opinion, the observations began to edema. i'm not a doctor just to give advice. i am now i'm thinking. yes, in principle, there was a strong wind, and this was one of the reasons. although before that i went the second weather, as if there were climbing and there were no problems. here in this i am a part of myself, as if not myself. yes, i was wrong in this, this is the position of the accused guides and anton nikiforov's personal i. however, the sc employees found that the problems began even on the ascent to the top of elbrus, the group got there and in full force during the ascent of one of the participants, and not makarova, became ill, assistant guide igor dankov, took the girl back to the base camp, and this helper. uh, turned around and attempted to lower. of the rest continued on their way, one of the groups was the first to reach the top and was already at the top

literally within 2-3 minutes. well, as everyone explains, uh, they explain in their testimony , the weather began to stagger sharply, weather, conditions, wind and the guides decided to quickly deploy the team to emit and hit. here are the bad weather conditions. why did you come up with all this? the version of the investigation was confirmed by the participants of the ascent, indeed the weather began to deteriorate literally before our eyes. and so, that tells one and the rescued tourists dmitry debts at the top all fell down. everyone just wallowed in everything, or i don’t know, at least there was some kind of euphoria. in fact, everyone felt bad, but it seemed to me that the guys were somehow very tired. they just lay there and didn't want to get up. anton of all. uh, i picked it up quickly and realized that the wind was still very strong, uh, it literally changed behind these doors for several minutes. yes, in the evening

it changed very strong, because there was no such strong wind on the rise, but on makarov which, together with the assistant guide, went down. he felt even worse, according to the words of igor dankov, who accompanied her, the girl lost consciousness and died in his arms, a young man went down alone. at that time, the storm was already raging on the summit. the guides decided to divide the group into two platoons in order to separate those who go slower and those who go faster. the wind is strong, i will try to spread out this stretcher. there you will carry just six people in private six, so they laid me down on these stretchers and then i hear. listen, they tell him, anton damn, we can barely walk ourselves. well, now burov drag him. well, it’s generally unrealistic, although i’ll essentially roll into a nissan. basically, i have a hard time understanding them. it's hard to take two or three steps there. here were the forces. they

probably left, therefore, well, in general, somehow. heard, that's where it starts, and anton just yell at them. here, he shouted directly with a cry, like bring everything. like, we're not leaving him here. i turn on my stomach. we begin to help with our hands there and i see, so i raise my head, i see behind us. nastya, the girl who died, is already crawling on all fours. she saw that everyone began to go. here and here, right here, crawling, according to denis pionersky at that time almost none of the group could move independently, one of the guides. the same ilya chuikov went for help , my group at that moment i took them to the pole on the saddle and got in touch . they said they are finishing going through the period. this is how my group was right under the railing, accordingly believing

they are anyway. they come out and they did. yes, yes, there the gap was already small, so alan and anton were with the group for a long time. and they are truly heroes in my eyes. it's okay, anton is a hero who gathered a group there that stayed with them to the end. which we really found taulana with pulmonary edema with uh, almost blind. that is, these are people who, well, until the last could. stay there forever, let's just say the organizers of it ascents from the very beginning claimed the cause of death was bad weather, according to the guides, they did everything possible to save the tourists, but they were powerless against the elements. the wife of the main

accused director of the travel agency, denis alimov, elena tried to explain to our film crew. how the events on elbrus unfolded the storm arose out of nowhere, flew in with great force and the pressure dropped very sharply. uh, one of our guides here said that his watch showed e. um, well, the barometer on the clock showed altitude 6.220. whereas, that they were actually on top, there 5.300 5.400. this tragedy largely happened due to the fact that there was a quick, sudden, sharp and fatal change in weather conditions. they climbed to the top in great weather in style and started descending in the sun and up to a light breeze and then. and then came a terrible storm. and then they began to save the situation on their own and constantly.

we went in touch with the ministry of emergency situations and there are records of this in their phones about what they did, outgoing calls from the satellite at the phone, trying to call help, however, the investigation confidently organizers, the campaign could not be unaware of the impending storm. here is what food assistant igor talkov said before the ascent, he posted a video on his social networks on the eve of the tragedy. good morning everyone snowy morning tonight we are going to go to the top. the forecast is not very let's see how it will be. yes, winter has already come albrus, on september 3, 2021, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe western peak of elbrus, wind gusts

could reach 85 km / h, despite alarm signals from the hydrometeorological center. private guides denis alimov nevertheless took a chance and led people to a height. but an experienced guide, karina mezova, who herself introduces tourists to the mountains, assures that several of her colleagues refused to climb that day, just because of a bad forecast and saved the lives of their clients. here, i have screenshots e the day before, when people were making a prediction. uh, photographed the forecast at the top in the morning right from early morning. there was a wind of 50, turning into 75-85 kopecks. i mean, you couldn't go. absolutely not, absolutely not. of course not. the head of a large travel agency that organizes climbing elbrus, zara mariem, knows everything about the

gray local business. he says that many colleagues care only about profit, and the safety of customers is the last thing they think about. this, in principle, i think, is the problem of our country, that someone has an ip llc registered there as self-employed, and someone just takes uh cash and leads, but now there is not a single law that would clearly regulate this authorities have no right to prohibit climbing elbrus, the ministry of emergency situations can only warn about the danger, and the police have the right to check. are tour organizers doing business legally? here is one of the raids by the employees of the department for combating economic crimes of the ministry of internal affairs of kabardino-balkaria, the police arrived at the azau glade from where most of the tour groups start. it

is located at the foot of elbrus. there are many hotels, cafes, equipment rentals. another group of tourists is preparing for the ascent. so the instructor of the guide is as long as the group the person goes 10 participants and two guides, so far the group prepared. well, yes, well, there will be preparations in the process. simonyan came from samara until today, he did not go in for mountaineering for david, this will be the first ascent of the elbrus equipment. something rented something of their own, starting with my aunt, ending with professional weapons directly, these are catting sticks and so on. today we tried everything checked and now we are climbing a new one. david, like all other tourists

, chose the company for climbing according to reviews on the internet. pyatigorsk signed a paper that in the event of an emergency, there will be no claims to the guide and organizers of the tour, it will not have such novice extreme sportsmen. every year. more and more the director of the local market. rauzan guliyeva says that after the pandemic, there is interest in this place. the closure of borders has repeatedly affected the growth. this gave impetus to the development of local business, not only tourism, but also trade. everything for this is here. here, even if a person arrives, without anything. in one t-shirt and sneakers, everything he needs for the ascent. here you will find everything. and even the same skier. eh, if he comes, too, without even winter clothes at all, he will find everything, everything is here at a high level. here alpindustry

is for a person of average income. the powers of the police officers only allow checking the documents from the organizers to make sure that they warned the ministry of emergencies about the trip at the rental points there should be certificates for equipment here, for example, they were not there, the owner of the rental promised to find all the necessary papers and bring them to the department. no one knows how many people climb each year on elbrus and although each group must register with the ministry of emergency situations indicating the number of participants in the date of ascent and descent, but not all of them do this. squad do you want to register? no, it is advisable to go to the service and officially register by phone

, registration is not recommended. yes, we are waiting for you to come in. we'll put everything on record and say the weather forecast. after the descent of the senior group, he must inform the ministry of emergency situations that all tourists have successfully completed the trip, if there is no such signal at the appointed time and it is impossible to contact the group, then the lifeguards. naturally, there are reasons to believe that an emergency has occurred and they are immediately put forward to help, kabardino-balkaria for the 2021 season, 2,000 421 groups climbed elbrus, this is 19,000 528 people 148 times rescuers had to go to help tourists in 2021. on the mountain, 23 people died, six were missing.

these are the official numbers. how many people are actually trying to take the height is unknown; there are tourists who even climb elbrus alone does not warn such a desperate admirer. our film crew met at the foot of the mountain sergey loginov arrived from the kemerovo region in his native novokuznetsk, works as an air traffic controller climbing elbrus for the fourth time. and you go alone or from a group, usually alone, as if straight, generally one rises, generally alone. and if something happens, there, well, it’s bad for you, a certain training, hypoxic training , there are many different things there. well, anyway, you can look at the weather forecast and it’s cooler, but it’s not so simple, of course, well, there is always a risk, there is always a risk.

well, i'm just the phone number of the person who lives here. so you deliberately go to this rice? why? well, you try to go, you yourself will understand everyone , climb the mountain, and you will understand. this is the feeling when the mountains are standing, as if on a mountain. at the very top of the feeling do not grieve victory, the mountains are impossible to defeat, she is invincible to defeat herself. and this is the feeling. here. actually, the significance, probably , pushes you at you. we went to elbrus in 1931. since then, it has been leading with statistics of tragic cases. according to it, 121 people died on the top for comparison, which is higher than elbrus and considered more difficult to climb, the king took 76

lives. the most massive was the death of tourists on elbrus in may 2006, then a group of 12 people climbed to the top due to a sharp deterioration in the weather, they had to stay for a cold night on the saddle, people dug into the snow to save one person survived. guys, that's all . the tragedy that occurred on september 23, 2021 made us talk again about the need to regulate the sphere of extreme tourism at the legislative level the management of the balkarian republic carried out an analysis of incidents in the mountains, namely, those related to the death of climbers, and in order to prevent the prevention of such incidents, the investigative department developed a proposal. in particular

, this is the certification of guides who carry out the climbing, as well as proposals to make e-e activities specifically for submissive tourism, and licensed, that is, so that random people cannot provide their services, as a rule, these services are provided on on a contractual basis, that is , no written contracts are concluded with citizens, and investigative guides do not have any qualifications, not only in part. yes, in terms of climbing to specific peaks, but also experience in terms of salvation, and life in maximum conditions, while only denis alimov, the owner of the elbrus company, hunts during the season, and the rest are defendants in the criminal case. ilya chaikov and anton nikiforov are being treated by relatives of the deceased tourists vyacheslav borisov anastasia zhigulina irina kolchuk. anna makarova elena nesterova are really looking forward to the start trial and hope that the perpetrators

will be punished. in the meantime, a group of new tourists continues to climb to the top , accompanied by private guides, their amateur performances, as before, no one controls. climbing elbrus is a dangerous activity . professional training and experienced guides are required rescuers a from the local authorities. today, another urgent task is to restore order in this industry, to avoid new tragedies. this was our investigation from the republic, kabardino-balkaria and the stavropol territory conclusions did only for you. see you on russia 24 tv channel.

residents of the dacha village of markonievo, like all normal people, want to spend evenings watching tv with their families. with electricity here's how it happens look. songs from the bottom of my heart good evening everyone

, now i have the north crimean canal in front of me, we are holding today on kherson to novaya kakhovka the road

was not easy, as soon as we drove into the city. we heard an arrival at a similar hydroelectric power station 8 years ago. you very, very strongly said this on the relationship of the suitcase railway station in russia really. russia said it and will be here. i'll wait for her here already russia how can you respect? this is when this is shooting at us every day. the ministry of defense today commented on the situation in the kharkiv direction, where heavy fighting has been going on for the last four days, the statement of the official representative of the department, igor konashenkov.
