what r e a l l y happened?

>>2847803 (OP)
Nothing just some typical russkie shenanigans

Just thumbing through the Wikipedia article real quick, my best guess is hypothermia + panic/lost person behavior + animals got to the soft tissues.
Some key factors, looks like they were up against extreme temperatures that they maybe weren't anticipating, there was a ~60 day delay between their disappearance, and they were at very low elevation so they didn't experience any altitude-related issues.
t. Still to do Wilderness Medicine stuff sometimes

How does one explain the fucking radiation found in their body, or the surgical removal of the eyes, tongue, lips, etc.????????

>>2847817
Didn't see anything about surgical removal of their soft tissues, just saw that it was noted "they were missing" which is what I'd expect from a corpse left in the woods for two months. Didn't see anything about radiation either, but if that's true I'd attribute that to Soviet retardation. Soviets clearly never gave a shit about radiation safety. It's pretty rare for you to get naturally irradiated to the point of it being a health concern, usually it's directly caused by human and human stupidity. Give the Soviet track record with radiation incidents, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that somehow Soviet carelessness with radioactive materials was to blame for that.

I believe here it is truth and fiction become tangled. In the nature hundreds of ants do their job and leave a clean hole where an eye used to be.
As for radiation, it is proposed that one of the guys worked at a factory that handled radioactive material. It was neither the first or secondary cause of the incident but the byproduct of the working conditions of his time (Za rodinu!).

Weapons test that blinded, injured and confused these guys.

A pack of snow Chupacabras descended upon them and attacked.
Pretty obvious.

So, yetis?

listen I SAID I was sorry
can we just let it go, it's been like a hundred years

KGB shenanigans vs US agent shenanigans. The US agents smelled a rat and killed the tourists. The radiation was meant to be a sample delivery, part of a disinformation campaign, probably something to do with sonar-resistant paint for submarines (contains Strontium or Cesium).

small avalanche in snowstorm, check latest research. resulting in panic leave of the tent, loss of orientation in such weather, hypothermia. animals raded some copses.

They were clearly raped to death by a polar bear, what else is there to even consider?

You can see from the image above, there was no avalanche. The tent site was largely intact and uncovered. Also some of the tourists were found with multiple broken ribs. They would not have been able to walk 2km with those injuries, then build a fire, build a shelter, cut up and divide the dead's clothes, etc.

What if they just fell out with eachother and one of the guys started whacking?
I've also read that there were wild Mansi hunter-gatherer tribes nearby who also could've seen the tourists as a threat and attacked them.

The radiation thing doesn't appear in the original reports, it seems to have been made up whole cloth along with many other elements being sexed up when translated and published in the 90's for the X-files fan market.

Thorium lantern mantle and birds. Dumbass.

I could have saved her.

I mean I've seen smaller pred animals that aren't capable of busting open a skull pick it apart in a way that looks precise too.
