The son of Irina Usoltseva, who disappeared in the Krasnoyarsk taiga almost a year ago, Danil Batalov, considers the version of a bear attack on his family unlikely. He told the TASS agency about this.

According to Batalov, now in Kuturchinsky Belogorye of the Krasnoyarsk Territory there are indeed many traces of bears. He connected the activity of animals with the cold summer and lack of food: before hibernation, predators try to replenish their calorie reserves.

However, he noted that a year ago the situation was different. In his opinion, at the time of the disappearance of the family, the bears had already prepared for hibernation and therefore could hardly have attacked people.

It was previously reported that a total of 15 people have died from bear attacks in Russia in recent months. A high alert regime due to the invasion of predators was introduced in six municipalities of the Siberian Federal District. The most difficult situation arose in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where hunters were paid for hunting brown bears.
