elbrus has two peaks, western and eastern , usually tourists tend to reach western because it is higher than 5.642 m. they move out at night to meet the sunrise at the top and take beautiful photos for memory. this time the camp was no exception, the group started at 2:00 am to a height of 5.100 m tourists got to crabs. the group went further on foot . the so-called saddle in the space between the two peaks of elbrus to 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. by that time, they were able to walk, probably a person two. 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 couldn’t move away from, probably, from 10 meters, because the state of health is how we feel. ah, both ligaments broke first, the first one, then literally after 10 seconds it rolled behind it, the second rolled 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 i broke my leg in three places, judging by the words of chuikov, at a height panic began among the travelers and

among those 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. everyone had some kind of navigators, that is, technical guides were provided, but the problem was that i didn’t see such a blizzard and such a blizzard, but it was impossible to work, because the sensors did not stop responding to frozen fingers. i was just shouting sputnik , i was shouting our coordinates. i screamed how much us a man, where we are and called the rescuers. there was a satellite. we communicated through it successfully, unsuccessfully at that time, we could not understand, but as it turned out, the rescuers did not confirm that there was some kind of signal. i then decided to start the descent and contact the rescuers already from the section called the oblique ledge. this is a section through 5.300 to 5-100. chuikov does not sound very

convincing is still not clear. why it was impossible to sound the alarm immediately after the weather turned bad, why the guides played for time to these questions the defendants and the cell 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. nobody deliberately tried to harm this pyatigorsk, who did not intentionally save there in their lives, substituting the lives of the participants. i'm responsible for this group, i feel guilty. but a colleague of ilya chuikov, a private guide anton nikiforov, does not seem to feel guilty, he was also charged, he spoke with our

film crew. just turning around to wall. the fact is that the person involved in the criminal case allegedly agreed with one of the federal channels to give an exclusive commentary for the ambition. made a mistake. now all the questions to the anthem looked back. 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'm thinking now. yes, they were all children. this was one of the reasons. although i used to go before, i went to the campaign, as if there were no more problems climbing. here in this i seem to be myself more often, well, myself yes, i

was wrong in this, this position of the accused guides and anton nikiforov’s personal i. however, the staff of the uk found that the problems began even on the ascent to the top of elbrus climbing one of the participants, and not makarova , became ill, the assistant guide igor dankov, led the girl back to the base camp, and this assistant. uh turned around and attempted to descend. of the rest continued 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 their testimony, the weather began to fluctuate sharply, weather, conditions, wind and the guides decided to quickly deploy the team and descend and hit. here are the bad weather conditions. why this all came up with a version of the investigation was confirmed by the participants of the

ascent, indeed the weather began to deteriorate literally before our eyes. and this is what dmitry dolgov, one of the rescued tourists, says. well, for some reason, the guys are at the top all fell off. everyone was just lying on everything, or i don’t know, at least there was some kind of euphoria , but 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. he must have raised everyone, did you quickly understand? what else the wind has changed very much in just these two few minutes, right? the wind is strong makarova , who, together with the assistant guide, went down felt even worse, according to the girl accompanying her igor dankov lost consciousness and died in his arms further a young man, descending alone at that time at the top was already raging with might and main. storm

kida decided to split the group into two platoons to separate those who go slower and those who go faster wind, strong, i'll try to spread out this stretcher. there you will carry just six people, which means they laid me down on these stretchers, spread out and then i hear. listen, there anton is generally unrealistic to go down, in principle, you understand, it's hard to make it hard there. heard, and here it begins, and anton just scream at them. here, he shouted straight 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's and here's right here crawling. according to denis vinersky 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 time i led them to the pole on the saddle contacted before which go contacted anton contacted a talent, more precisely, here is the location. they said they are finishing going through the period. that's how my group was right under the railing, accordingly, believing that they would come out on them anyway, and it turned out to be big. and here is alan santon for a long time were with the group. and these are really heroes, well, in my eyes, a hero who gathered a group there,

who stayed with them to the end. which well , really taulana was found with pulmonary edema with uh, the blind is practically, that is, these are people who, well, to the last could. stay there forever, let's say, the organizers - this climb 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 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 developed. the storm arose from nowhere, flew in with great force and the pressure dropped very sharply. uh, one of our guides here said that his

watch e showed. um, well, the barometer on the clock showed altitude 6.220. despite the fact that they were actually at a height, there are 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 went to the top in great weather in style and started to descend in the sun and there was 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 contacted the ministry of emergency situations and they have records on their phones about what they did, outgoing calls from a satellite phone, trying to call for help. however, the investigation was confident that the organizers of the campaign could not have been unaware of the impending storm. here is what

guide assistant igor talkov said before the ascent, he posted a video on his social networks on the eve of the tragedy, good snowy morning. tonight at night. we're going to go to the top. the forecast is not very we look at how it will be in the area of ​​the western summit of elbrus could reach. 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 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 the cash and

leads, but now there is not a single law that would clearly regulate this area of ​​activity to prohibit climbing elbrus the authorities have no right the ministry of emergency situations can only warn of danger, and the police have the right 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, and another group of tourists is preparing for the ascent. so the instructor of the guide is as long as the group of people goes 10 participants and two guides, so far the group has been prepared. well, yes, well, it will be in the process

preparation. david simonyan came from samara until today, he did not go in for mountaineering. for david, this will be the first ascent of elbrus. well, we have all the equipment. something was rented. something of its own begins, professional equipment and so on. here we are rising to new heights now. i chose the rest of the tourists, according to reviews on the internet, i paid for participation in the trip in advance, and when i arrived at the office of the company in pyatigorsk , i signed a paper that in the event of an emergency , he would not have any claims against the guide and tour organizers every year. more and more director local market. he says that after the pandemic,

this place has grown many times due to the closure of the border of local business, not only tourism. here it will be, everything for this is here. here, even if a person arrives, without anything. in one t-shirt and in sneakers, everything that he needs for you to walk. here you will find everything. and even the same skier. uh, if he arrives without even winter clothes at all, he will find everything . powers police officers only allow you to check the documents with the organizers to make sure that they warned the ministry of emergencies about the weather, so the rental should have equipment certificates here, for example, they were not there, the owner of the rental promised to find all the necessary papers and

bring them to the finish. no one knows. how many people do not climb elbrus every year and although each group must register with the ministry of emergency situations indicating the number of participants in the dates of ascent and descent, not everyone does this. hello in russian detachment, i'm listening to you. you want 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 will put everything on record and the weather forecast, say, after the descent of the senior group, i 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 rescuers have every reason to believe that an emergency has occurred and they immediately come to the rescue. ministry of emergency situations of kabardino-balkaria during the 2021 season, 2,000 people climbed elbrus 421 groups is 19.000 528 people 148 times the 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 anyone of 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 on elbrus, he went for the fourth time. well one i don't understand at all, just one. and if something happened, tinting, hypoxic training of all sorts of different things, well, as if everything is just looking at the weather forecast, it's just cooler, of course, well, there is always a risk. so, are you willing to take that risk? 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 stand, as if on a mountain. at the very top, the feeling does not grieve victory, the mountains cannot be defeated. she invincible will conquer herself. and this is the feeling. here, actually significance, probably, pushes, probably, at you. reference from 1931 since then , and has been leading from the statistics of tragic cases, according to it, 121 people died at the top, for comparison, which is higher than elbrus and is considered more difficult to climb, the king took 76 lives 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 in the snow, one person survived to escape. the tragedy that happened on 23

september 2021 made us talk again about the need to regulate the field of extreme tourism at the legislative level, the management of the balkarian republic conducted an analysis of accidents in the mountains, namely those related to the death of climbers, and in order to prevent the prevention of such incidents, if management, in particular, is certification of guides who carry out climbing with citizens, as well as proposals to do, and activities specifically for mountain tourism, but licensed, that is, so as not to could accidentally persons random companies provide their services, as a rule, this service is provided on a contractual basis, that is, citizens conclude any written contracts do not have any

qualifications, not only in terms of experience in lifting specific ones. peaks, but also experience in saving uh lives under maximum conditions, while only denis alimov, the owner of the elbrus guide company, hunts during the season, and the rest are defendants in the criminal case. ilya chaikov and anton nikiforov are being treated relatives of the dead tourists vyacheslav borisova anastasia zhigulina irina makarova and elena nesterova are looking forward to the beginning of the trial and hopes that the perpetrators will be punished. in the meantime, a group with new tourists continues to rise to the top of the escort of 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 it was our investigation from the republic, kabardino-balkaria and the stavropol territory that conclusions were drawn only to you

. uh, besogon tv a from the golden collection. well, i hope it will be interesting for you to remember what we talked about, i look forward to seeing you.
