A story of a mysterious incident that happened in the gloomy, mist-filled, mystic mountains of the Northern Urals. In the winter of 1959, a group of students went on a hike—and disappeared. They were searched for a long time, and when they were finally found dead near the Mountain of the Dead, the number of questions only increased and many versions appeared, up to revenge by ancient gods.
“At one of the overnight stops, already in the dark, something terrible happened… They ripped open the tent, rushed out into the frost—some dressed, some in socks—and ran down the slope carrying their wounded friends… No one survived. Not one made it to dawn. But all those who were still conscious fought like lions. And the dead snow preserved the ‘dynamic’ poses of people crawling toward the abandoned tent…” Alexey Ivanov
