The news excited the whole of North Ossetia. Officially, the search for those killed during the collapse of the Kolka glacier was stopped more than a year ago. Relatives of the missing carried out excavations themselves for a long time, but last spring they too came to terms with the loss of their loved ones. All work was stopped at the site of the tunnel, where Sergei Bodrov’s film crew could presumably have taken refuge. And then - just 100 meters north of this very tunnel - they found the body of a man.

On Saturday, employees of the Institute of Geology Russian Academy Sciences, while walking around the glacier, saw rags sticking out of the mess of mud, stones and ice. They approached out of curiosity, and there were the remains of a man. There were shoes lying a little to the side.

This is not a body, but only bones. Well, what do you want - two years have passed, say geologists Anatoly Gurbanov and Stanislav Bubnov. - Only experts can say who it is. But we immediately thought - is this really Brother?..

For now, we can only say that the remains belong to a man aged 30-35 years. “Everything else will become clear after the examination,” said the head of the forensic medical examination department of the Prigorodny district. North Ossetia Georgy Thapsaev. - We will be able to give the first expert opinion only in 10 days.

Experts say that the body was preserved surprisingly well, although the speed of the glacier reached 250 km/h. In such a meat grinder only small parts could be preserved. According to employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, most likely, the body was brought to the surface by the waters of the glacier, which began to melt especially actively this summer.

Since yesterday morning, the phones of the relatives of those killed in the Karmadon Gorge have not been answered. According to neighbors, some urgently went to the glacier to look at the place where the body was found - what if someone else was found? The rest are waiting for the results of the examination. They want to find out whether the man found was part of Bodrov’s group. Or maybe it’s Sergei himself.

In September 2002, immediately after the tragedy, relatives of the missing filled out special cards in which they indicated all the data - height, weight and what the relatives were wearing, whether they had injuries and what operations they had undergone. Now they are bringing up all the archives to compare the data on the cards. It was from this data that last fall the identity of 30-year-old Inga Likhovitskaya, a resident of Alagir, was determined.

True, we don’t know where these cards are now,” said Vladimir Ivanov, head of the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of North Ossetia. - Perhaps they have been preserved and work will be carried out on them. But it is possible that they were “buried” two years ago, along with the hope of finding someone.

REFERENCE "KP" On September 20, 2002, the Kolka glacier descended in the Karmadon Gorge of North Ossetia. As a result of searches in the gorge area, the bodies of 20 dead were found. Until now, 104 people are missing, including 26 members of the film crew of Sergei Bodrov Jr. According to experts, the glacier will melt in 10-12 years.

ONLY FACTS

Could the deceased be Bodrov?

1) Sergey was of average height, about 175 cm.

2) He died a little more than two months before his 31st birthday.

3) The discovered man has dark hair, like Brother.

4) Despite the fact that the body was found 150 meters from the Karmadon tunnel, where the film crew seemed to have managed to enter, there are cases when, during glaciers and avalanches, the dead were found at a great distance from the place where they were captured by the elements.

"NO"

Of the 119 people who went missing during the glacier meltdown, approximately half were men between 30 and 40 years old, and most of them were 175 - 180 cm tall. According to the recollections of those who communicated with the group, many also came to the mountains in jeans ...

What could have led to the tragedy in the Karmadon Gorge and the death of Sergei Bodrov - people have been speculating about this for 15 years

When it became known that on September 20, 2002, Sergei Bodrov and the entire film crew of the film “Svyaznoy” died in the Karmadon Gorge during the collapse of the Kolka glacier, it caused a real shock. The tragedy gave rise to so many rumors that even now, 15 years after the incident, scientists are trying to figure out what really happened in the Greater Caucasus Mountains.

Mountains that take souls

Now, looking back, fans Sergei Bodrov everyone still wants to understand: was it possible to prevent the tragedy in the Karmadon Gorge? They talked with the employees of the Vladikavkaz hotel, from where the film crew left for their final journey. We talked with local residents who were the first to come to the rescue.

On September 20, according to the plan, only one scene had to be filmed, but everything did not work out early in the morning. According to the schedule, work on the site was planned to begin at nine in the morning, but the cars that were supposed to deliver the filmmakers to the gorge were very late. And the shooting was postponed to one o'clock in the afternoon. Many believe that if there had not been these four hours of downtime, the group would have managed to return to the city before the glacier disappeared. However, psychics contacted by relatives of the missing say that the tragedy would still have happened, even if the film crew had gone to the mountains the next day or a week later.

Local residents believe that the souls of the people in the gorge were taken away by the mountains, as people came to forbidden places. There is a legend that in the Greater Caucasus Mountains there are seven places where seven villages perished under glaciers 200 years ago. And the filmmakers found themselves on the territory of one of these ghost villages. They say that even now in the mountains you can unexpectedly stumble upon a settlement, find shelter and food there, talk with the local residents, and then, leaving the village, turn around and discover that there are no houses or people in this place. The mountaineers believe that the souls of people who died in the mountains live in such villages.

Guardian angel

Relatives of the victims, comparing the facts today, believe that people had a presentiment of the impending disaster. So, the widow of Sergei Bodrov Svetlana told reporters that she spoke with her husband on September 20. And he seemed very sad to her, somehow alarmed. His last words were parting words: “Take care of the children.”

That morning, the Muscovites were joined by actors from the Ossetian equestrian theater “Narty”. Stunt riders filmed with Bodrov back in Alexey Balabanova in the film “War”, that’s why Sergei invited them to his new film “The Messenger”. When the glacier collapsed, seven artists of this theater died, only Kazbek Bagaev. The man underwent baptism shortly before the tragedy. And he believes that his guardian angel saved him from death. Before filming on September 20, he decided to go home to his relatives, whom he had not seen for a long time, and as a result was late for departure. His horse also survived, but it did not allow the blacksmith to approach him and did not allow himself to be shoed, which is why the artists did not take him with them to the gorge.

Curse of the Spirits

Some particularly ecstatic fans believe that Sergei died because of his roles. According to the script of the film "The Messenger", his hero must die. And on the set of “War,” when they were filming a battle scene, the filmmakers accidentally set fire to an ancient Balkar cemetery, many graves were destroyed. And they say that Sergei was allegedly cursed by the spirits of that burial.

There is an even more mystical version: Bodrov’s father Sergey Vladimirovich at that time I was planning to make a film “Mongol” about Genghis Khan. And what great khan The Mongol Empire indicated to Bodrov Sr. his dissatisfaction with the death of his son. Sergei Vladimirovich himself said that before starting work, the film crew went to the main shaman and lama for permission, and also visited holy Buddhist places and made offerings.

Breaking point

There are also more scientific versions of what caused the tragedy in the Karmadon Gorge. Before the ill-fated September 20, 2002, the Kolka Glacier had not shown itself in any way for the last hundred years. At seven o'clock in the evening of that day, Bodrov's group suspended filming and began preparations for returning to the city. At 20.15 local time the glacier began to melt. In 20 minutes, the gorge and the village of Upper Karmadon were covered with a multi-meter layer of ice, mud and stones. No one managed to survive. The avalanche moved at a speed of about 180 km/h. 127 people died, including the entire film crew. Scientists have suggested that the glacier could have been triggered by several deep faults that converged at one point. But the worst thing, what pushed the glacier out of its place, was the magma that approached this giant fault. According to scientists, nowhere on Earth have there been any cases of a giant glacier weighing more than 200 million tons suddenly moving from its place. This could have been done by magma heated to 1000 degrees, accumulated in huge quantities in one place.

Search work was carried out at the site of the tragedy for several months. Relatives of the missing people lived on the glacier for two whole years. But rumors and mystical speculation are generated by the fact that the bodies of only 17 people were found. They found the remains of animals and even fragments of a car. But the bodies of the remaining 110 people were never found. These people are still listed as missing.

It is worth adding that about five years ago the mother of one of the victims told reporters: she does not believe in any mysticism. And she expressed her point of view as to why the bodies of the dead were not found. The woman believes that the icy stream flying at breakneck speed crushed everything in its path like a meat grinder. Therefore, the disappearance of the bodies of the dead cannot be called mystical.

Back in 2002, the glacier was descending down the gorge at breakneck speed, sweeping away everything in its path. The height of the mudflow layer and stones with ice reached 150 meters.

The chances of escape for everyone who was in the gorge at that time were zero.

Not far from the place where the filmmakers disappeared in the Karmadon Gorge, a car body with human remains was found. For several years, the white Moskvich was under mudflows left after the glacier collapsed in 2002.

It is unlikely that these are the remains of people from the film crew led by Sergei Bodrov. The car was found not exactly where the group of filmmakers was located.

On that ill-fated day, the glacier buried 124 people, only 20 bodies were found, 104 people remained in the gorge. It's probably one of those unfortunate people. To determine who the remains found in the car belong to, it is necessary to conduct expensive research, including DNA analysis.

Death of Sergei Bodrov

Early in the morning of September 20, 2002, the film crew of the film “Svyaznoy”, led by Sergei Bodrov, set off from Vladikavkaz to the mountains. Filming went on all day, when it got dark, the group, including seven members of the Narty equestrian theater, moved back to the city. At 20:08, the Kolka glacier suddenly began to disappear; in a few minutes, an ice collapse covered the entire Karmadon Gorge with a 60-meter layer of ice and stones. No one managed to escape.

By official version, one of the hanging glaciers fell from a cliff on Mount Jimara. A mass of ice fell on the Kolka glacier, which broke off its bed and moved down the gorge at a speed of up to 180 km/h, taking moraine material with it. Large-scale rescue efforts lasted several months; a group of volunteers and relatives of the missing remained on the glacier until February 2004. After the tragedy, more than a hundred people were reported missing, and Bodrov’s remains were not found.

The model of the monument to Sergei Bodrov Jr. was sent for revision

Experts did not approve of the model of the monument to actor Sergei Bodrov Jr., which is proposed to be installed in Moscow, Igor Voskresensky, chairman of the capital’s commission on monumental art, told RIAMO on Tuesday.

Earlier in Moscow it was proposed to erect a monument to Sergei Bodrov Jr. According to the authors’ idea, this will be a bronze figure of the hero of the films “Brother” and “Brother-2” Danila Bagrov, played by Bodrov. In front of the sculpture it is planned to post the phrase “I think there is strength in truth.”

“It was back in November, they made the decision that the layout needed to be finalized. We do not conduct an examination, it is carried out by professionals, but they did not approve. When they finalize it, we’ll look into it,” Voskresensky said.

The tragedy that occurred in the early 2000s still remains a mystery for many fans of the famous Russian actor, his family and friends. Did Sergei Bodrov Jr. really die? Remains have been found that some experts consider evidence of him.

Missing

Filming of the film “Svyaznoy” ended in tragedy for actor and director Sergei Bodrov Jr. On September 20, 2002, not far from the Karmadon Gate in North Ossetia, an avalanche descended from a glacier with considerable destructive force. She destroyed every living thing in her path. Thus, the village of Upper Karmadon was destroyed, in which several dozen residents died. The next victim was the film crew.

Those who are concerned want to know whether the body of Sergei Bodrov or any of the filmmakers was found. The wording “missing” means that there is no confirmation that the director and his team died. However, one should not hope in vain. It is likely that the remains will not be found until several decades later.

Facts about the tragedy

• The debate about why the glacier, which took hundreds of years to form, began to move on September 20, 2002, continues to this day. There is a version that the ice managed to melt in the summer. However, professional geologists reject this version. The summer of 2002 was no hotter than the summer months in previous years. The temperature was approximately the same. But neither before nor after the tragedy anything like this happened. Another explanation seems more convincing. The glacier began to move due to the displacement of tectonic plates. Bodrov and his team could have been saved if the day before they had paid attention to a strange hum coming from the bowels of the earth.
• There is a version that Sergei is still alive. There are cases where people caught in an avalanche survived. However, injuries and stress caused them to lose their memory. Subsequently, the survivors settled in remote villages and started life anew. This version is offered by those who refuse to believe in the death of the actor. However, Bodrov was famous person. His appearance even in a remote village could not go unnoticed.
• The question of whether Sergei Bodrov’s body was found was asked to specialists in 2008. Climbers from the Cascade mountain club accidentally discovered fragments of the car. The appearance of the vehicle was such that even a layman had no doubt that the car was crushed. The remains of the bodies of the people to whom it belonged were found in the car. The assumption immediately arose that the car belonged to someone from the film crew. But witnesses to the avalanche who saw Bodrov’s team claim that the film crew was on the other side of the Karmadon Gate. The remains of the bodies found in the car were sent for genetic testing to establish the date of death, gender and victims. There were no members of Bodrov’s group among these people. It is believed that the body fragments belong to tourists. People often came here with whole families in their own cars.

Nobody knows how Sergei Bodrov Jr. died. Remains have been found that do not belong to either himself or the members of the film crew with whom he worked. Fans, relatives and friends of the actor and director still have hope that Sergei is alive. People who do not believe in his death believe that Bodrov simply decided to start new life, get away from problems. There are those who have seen a man similar to famous actor. However, friends of Bodrov Jr. claim that no problems could force Sergei to force those closest to him to consider him missing.

Close relatives of Bodrov Jr. - father Sergei Vladimirovich, mother Valentina Nikolaevna and widow Svetlana - have not yet contacted the Republican Biological Laboratory of North Ossetia. According to “Your Day”, in the near future the human remains found in the Karmadon Gorge will be sent to the forensic center of Rostov-on-Don. Russia hasn’t made anything sensible better than Brother).. I’ve already watched it 10 times every time, but they don’t get boring and constantly remind me of Bodrov! It’s a pity that Bodrov was an excellent actor, but he wasn’t the only one who died there, and they talk about him a little shamelessly, like a celebrity. P.S.

Seggei Bodrov Found? Myth or reality?

On the morning of September 20, 2002, the Moscow film crew of Sergei Bodrov went to the Karmadon Gorge of the Caucasus Mountains for location shooting of the new film “Svyaznoy”. Brothers" by actor Sergei Bodrov Jr. - from these searches. The team worked fruitfully on the set in the gorge all day long; the actors, cameramen, lighting technicians and seven horsemen of the Vladikavkaz Theater completed the program in full towards evening. But no one knew where exactly to look for the film crew. Then they connected scientists, modern means of detecting human bodies and machines, and even psychics.

Someone’s remains were found, and rumors began to circulate that it was someone from Sergei Bodrov’s group. What nonsense? Someone's remains were found, but there was no official confirmation that these were Bodrov's remains. There is not even information about the examination of the remains. To date, there is no reliable information about whether the body of Sergei Bodrov has been found. After the tragedy that occurred in the Karmadon Gorge, remains and fragments of human bodies were repeatedly found, but it was not possible to establish for certain whether any of them belonged to Sergei Bodrov. The mysterious death of Sergei Bodrov still haunts many. The tragedy in the Karmadon Gorge occurred back in 2002. The body of Sergei and members of his film crew were never found.

The river washed a car with human remains out of the mudflow in the Genaldon Gorge... Let us recall that on September 20, exactly 10 years ago, the famous film actor and aspiring director Sergei Bodrov Jr. went with the film crew to film several episodes for the new film “The Messenger.” Most likely, he is carrying out some kind of assignment, preparing the ground for the transition astral body Bodrov Jr. into the new body of our world. So, we will wait for Sergei. In the near future, unless something mystically negative happens, another BROTHER will appear nearby. Brother 3 will come to this world to continue his mission.

Why did this happen

After work, I went to a cafe, which was located just at the bottom of the Karmadon Gorge. According to an experienced rescuer, the speed of the glacier was at least 220 kilometers per hour. The people who got in his way had practically no chance. I remember how he looked at these blocks of ice and said: “Everything is clear.” As the rescuer says, it is almost impossible to find the remains of the body of Sergei and other victims, even though that same glacier has already melted for the most part. For some time, while the search was going on, rescuers had hope that people could have survived, for example, by taking refuge in a car tunnel. The bodies of Bodrov and 105 other people have still not been found.

In connection with the death of the film crew, the press often raises the topic of why the multi-ton ice block began to move then. According to some observers, the Kolka glacier melted at the end of summer and therefore disappeared on September 20. A glacier that has been formed for many thousands, or even millions, of years cannot just melt and suddenly begin to move.
