The Dyatlov Pass Mystery is the true story of one of the few remaining unsolved mysteries of the last century. In 1959, a group of experienced mountaineers set out to climb a Russian mountain. None of them came back alive. What’s even worse, they all died in strange and terrible circumstances: some are naked, others not. Some are beaten, others not. Some are missing their eyes and tongues, others not. Some have traces of uranium on them, others not… What happened that night?
Lev Ivanov, one of the best investigators in the Soviet Union, is sent to the mountains to lead the investigation. A sort of KGB-trained Sherlock Holmes, Ivanov works through each and every theory as to what happened. An avalanche? Impossible, the weather was good that night and there wasn’t much snow. A bear attack? Secret nuclear tests?
We follow the investigator as he slowly tries to make sense of what happened on that fateful night (everything is true, the story is based on his notebooks). But also, interspersed in flashbacks, we get to see what really happened, because the mystery was finally solved in 2020.
