500 people were looking for Dima Peskov in the Sverdlovsk region

On June 14, a boy was found 10 kilometers from the Reftinskoye reservoir, who was searched for five days. Four-year-old Dima Peskov disappeared on June 10 and spent four nights in the forest. Law enforcement agencies, rescuers, volunteers and local residents were involved in the search for the child - about 500 people in total. As a result, volunteer Pavel Karpenko found the exhausted baby eight kilometers from the place of disappearance.

On June 10, four-year-old Dima Peskov, along with his parents, rested on the banks of the Reftinskoye reservoir. The family pitched a tent and planned to spend the entire weekend on the pond. The father and son went to the forest, but after ten meters, according to the parents, the boy wanted to return. The father let his son go to the tent, thinking that he could find it on his own. However, the child got lost.

Traces broke off near the swamp

On the same day, several dozen Sverdlovsk rescuers, police officers and volunteers of the Liza Alert search squad moved out to search for Dima Peskov. At the same time, a tragic version of events began to develop - rescue divers began to explore the coastal zone of the Reftinskoye reservoir.

“The personnel of the district commissioners, the patrol service and the inspectors of the PDN and the detectives of the criminal investigation department were alerted. A police dog handler with a service-search German shepherd named Rex was also sent there. 35 police officers, specialists from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as well as volunteers are involved in the search for the boy. Detectives of the criminal investigation department are working out various versions, including that the baby could go the other way and get lost. It could also slide down to the reservoir: the descent there is about two meters,” Valery Gorelykh, the official representative of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Sverdlovsk Region, said on June 10.

The investigating authorities opened a case under Article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (causing death by negligence). This made it possible to apply a wider range of measures aimed at finding the boy and establishing the circumstances of his disappearance. During the day, 25 square kilometers on land and 1,200 square meters on the reservoir were examined.

Swamp, bear, fishermen

On June 11, the search area was increased. Six kilometers from the coast, footprints similar to children's were found, which ended near a small swamp.

A bear came out to one of the search parties and reared up. Rescuers and dog handlers went to this area along with colleagues from other law enforcement agencies and representatives of the hunting area.

“In addition, detectives from the criminal investigation department established the identity of the fishermen, whom the boy approached on the day of the emergency. They confirmed that the child had left them in the opposite direction from his tent. At the direction of the leadership of the police headquarters, additional forces were sent to the scene from the territorial police departments of Bogdanovich, Kamyshlov and Pyshma rural,” Valery Gorelykh said on June 12.

On the third day, the search group was increased to 500 people. At the same time, Dima's parents passed a polygraph test for the second time, which showed that they were not lying.

While the rescue operation was going on, thousands of residents of the Urals offered their help in searching for the child, some signed up as a volunteer, others offered food and useful things.

eight kilometers

On the fifth day of the search, a message was received from the regional police headquarters about the found child.

“This morning, one of the search teams near the power lines and the swamp found the missing four-year-old Dima,” Valery Gorelykh, official representative of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region, told MK-Ural. “He is alive, but in an exhausted state.”

Then came the details. The child was found eight kilometers from the parents' tent. Members of the group, which included volunteer Pavel Karpenko, who discovered the boy, carried Dima in their arms to the Iskorka recreation center, where an operational headquarters had been operating since June 10. After that, according to the press secretary of the Sverdlovsk Ministry of Health, Konstantin Shestakov, the boy was taken to the CSTO N1 by helicopter of the territorial center for disaster medicine.

Doctors suspected the boy had pneumonia. In addition, several ticks were removed from him, which were sent to the laboratory to be tested for infections.

"I'm sorry we couldn't find you sooner"

After the news about the found Dima appeared, words of gratitude rained down on the search participants.

“It is indicative how many ordinary people from the Urals came out in search, how many people express their readiness to help the child and his family now. This year I have declared the Year of Volunteers. And this situation shows that volunteer forces need to be supported, to cherish the readiness of Sverdlovsk residents to unite, to talk as much as possible about people who are ready to put things aside in order to help a loved one. After all, the streets should be named after them,” said Acting Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region Evgeny Kuyvashev.

Mikhail Borodin, head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region, will apply for awarding state awards to citizens who have distinguished themselves most in the search for four-year-old Dima. This was announced by the official representative of the police headquarters Valery Gorelykh.

“Boy, you survived all this, I can imagine how it is .... I walked in this forest alone, almost at night, I was creepy. But you did it, I hope now you will be even stronger, healthier. We were close to you, I'm sorry we couldn't find you earlier. Get well!" - wrote Artem Chazov.

There are many such messages. Among them, one stands out - one of the girls wrote that she was going to name her son, who would be born in a few months, in honor of the volunteer Pavel Karpenko, who found Dima Peskov.

About the happy ending of the rescue operation, which lasted more than four days. All this time, four-year-old Dima wandered through the windfall and swamps alone, without food and water, without the help of adults. Hundreds of people were looking for him - professionals and volunteers, on the ground and from the air, combing meter by meter. Found seven kilometers from the place of disappearance.

He is ready to hug everyone and say thank you to everyone. For a son. alive and unharmed. But the main character here for all the search parties is Pavel, he was the first to discover the child.

“Today I came at the call of my heart. We drank coffee, gathered in a group, went out with a group,” says Pavel Karpenko.

"Boy! Thank you so much! I am a father! Thank you very much!" - thanks Andrey Peskov.

The first footage of the rescued boy. Four-year-old Dima is transferred to an ambulance. Frightened, exhausted, he was found barely alive. Usually agile and talkative, but not only to strangers, but even to his parents, he could not say a word.

“At first he only mumbled, didn’t talk,” says the boy’s mother, Alevtina Shainurova.

Four days without food or water. Around the swamp. The forest is impenetrable. Special equipment, and that slips. And wild animals all around. You can't get far without a gun. At night, a maximum of plus five. It rained intermittently. I had to sleep almost in puddles.

“His temperature is normal, and oxygen in the blood is low, most likely pneumonia, his lungs are all wheezing,” says the doctor.

Plus it's tick season. Among the rescuers and journalists, the boy cannot be seen. But those who saw him closer, assure: there is no living place on the child. “All in ticks,” they say.

An adult can hardly survive in such extreme conditions. And here is a child!

“The fifth day, like hungry. He ate some pestles, drank water from the swamp. He supported himself, of course. I ate grass, ”says the father of the child, Andrei Peskov.

At the weekend, the Peskov family rested on the Reftinskoye reservoir. Dima went with his father to the forest for firewood, but immediately became capricious and asked his mother, who remained in the tent, 100 meters from them. Dad let him go, thinking that the parking lot was within easy reach, the son would not get lost. Nobody has seen Dima since that moment.

“More than 50 people were interrogated as witnesses. Relatives, employees of the kindergarten he attends, as well as fishermen who were on the shore of the reservoir on the day the boy disappeared, ”said Maxim Chalkov, assistant head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Investigative Committee for the Sverdlovsk Region.

More than 500 people searched for the boy. Drones tried to detect it from the air. Divers examined the bottom of the reservoir. Rescuers, policemen and just volunteers.

They combed the shore around the perimeter. Looked out for a place around the tent. The search diameter had to be expanded to four kilometers. As a result, Dima was found much further.

This is not the only case when a child was actually born in a shirt. Seven-year-old Vitya from the Kursk region went to his grandmother in a neighboring village, as a result, he wandered through the forest for three days. Rescuers were brought to him by a mongrel, with whom he set off.

Thanks to the puppy, four-year-old Karina from Yakutia also survived. The dog saved the girl from the cold for two weeks in the forest, while they were looking for her.

Dima Peskov will remain in the hospital in the coming days. According to doctors, his condition is serious, but nothing threatens his life. He will move away from the shock and then he will be able to tell how he managed to survive.

Four-year-old Dima, who disappeared in the Sverdlovsk region four days ago, was found alive. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the head of the press service of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Valery Gorelykh.

“Today, one of the groups combing the area found a child. It happened near a swamp, in the area of power lines," Gorelykh said.

At the time of discovery, the boy was in an exhausted state, he needed to be evacuated to the hospital by helicopter.

In the public “Typical Yekaterinburg” on VKontakte, it was reported that the child had hypothermia, dehydration, and he was also badly bitten by ticks. The child was under the supervision of doctors, he was put on a drip and injected with immunoglobulin.

A helicopter was sent for Dima to take him to a hospital in Yekaterinburg.

The Sokol search team, which took part in the search, clarified that the boy was found near the swamp, about seven kilometers from the deployed rescue headquarters.

The child disappeared on the morning of June 10 on the banks of the Reftinskoye reservoir near Yekaterinburg. According to the Nash Ural portal, this is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the region. The boy was resting there with his parents. On Saturday morning, he left with his father for firewood, but he quickly got tired and began to ask his mother, Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes. Deciding that the parking lot where the family pitched a tent was not far away, the father let Dima go alone. Since then, until Wednesday, no one saw him.

The Ural newspaper Arguments and Facts writes that, according to the father, the distance from him to the mother was only about ten meters and he had no doubt that the child would find his way. However, when he returned, the boy was not around.

Realizing that the child was missing, the parents searched for him for an hour. As local fishermen told them, the boy went up to someone else's tent, but when he realized that he had made a mistake, he went into the forest. After an unsuccessful search, the parents turned to law enforcement agencies for help. For four days, the forest was searched by policemen, rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, investigators of the Investigative Committee and volunteers.

According to Znak.com, 300 police officers, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations from Asbest, Yekaterinburg, Sukhoi Log and Bogdanovich, as well as volunteers, including the Liza Alert and Sokol search teams, were looking for Dima. A total of about 500 people immediately joined the search. An unmanned aerial vehicle of the Ministry of Emergency Situations was also involved in the operation.

The parents of the missing boy explained to the rescuers that he was unsociable and would not ask for help himself.

Law enforcement officers checked Dima's father and mother themselves on a lie detector: they thought the behavior of the child's mother was strange. Having learned about the loss, the mother left the scene after some time, citing the fact that she was cold - this alerted the police.

The father remained in place and assisted the rescuers.

As the police found out, Dima's mother works in a kindergarten, where the boy himself goes. They are in a civil marriage with the father of the child. The father of the child himself has several convictions, including those under the articles “Illicit trafficking in weapons” and “Theft”.

The day after the disappearance of the boy, rescuers found traces of children's boots in the forest, which broke off near the swamp. On the same day, a drone involved in the search found traces of moose and a bear in the forest. Experts came to the conclusion that the predator could not attack the child, since quite a long time had passed after he moved away from hibernation.

At the same time, it was because of the bear that the search and rescue team had to reduce some of the volunteers from among women and children. As explained in the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region, in the evening a brown bear came out on the road in the forest where one of the search groups was located, which had a “psychological impact” on the volunteers, in connection with which some of the non-professional rescuers had to be removed from the forest.

On June 1, the department of the Investigative Committee for the Sverdlovsk Region opened a criminal case on the fact of the disappearance of the boy under part 1 of article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (causing death by negligence). Despite the lack of evidence of the death of the child, the investigators did not rule out the possibility of such an outcome.

The probability of a fatal outcome was also allowed by fortunetellers and psychics, who were also asked to help find the child, writes the local newspaper Nasha Gazeta. So, the fortuneteller Elina Hoffman did not see the boy among the living and advised her parents to look for his body in the water. Medium Zarina, in turn, stated that the boy was alive, but she agreed to give more detailed information about his whereabouts only for money. “I can go into a telepathic session and pinpoint the exact location, but it costs,” she said.

The day before the child came to rest with his parents. The family pitched a tent, spent the night, and in the morning the father and son went for firewood. The boy quickly got tired and wanted to return to his mother. Dad let his son go alone, considering that 100 meters is a short distance. The boy has not been seen since.

When the parents realized that the child was missing, they spent an hour trying to find him on their own. In particular, they managed to learn from the fishermen that the boy approached someone else's tent, mistaking it for his own, but when he realized that he was mistaken, he went back into the forest. After that, the parents turned to law enforcement agencies for help.

The search activities that lasted all night, unfortunately, have not yet been successful, although while patrolling the water area of the Reftinskoye reservoir and the forest park zone, traces of children's shoes were found, similar to the traces of the boots of the missing baby. Now four service-search dogs are working on them. Also, searches have been activated in the nearest horticultural associations, - said the official representative of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for the Sverdlovsk Region, Valery Gorelykh. - More than 300 people are involved in the operation, including 150 police officers from Asbest and Sukhoi Log, more than 100 rescuers and volunteers (search teams Sokol and Lisa Alert). A quadrocopter with a thermal imager is also used, which examines the territory from a bird's eye view.

Additional forces were sent to the search area, 50 cadets of the Ural State Fire Service Institute. Footprints, similar to the footprints of a child, break off at a small swamp about six kilometers from the place of the loss. Now divers have been deployed there to survey the area. Yesterday, all participants in the search operation covered 25 square kilometers, divers checked 1,200 square meters of the coastal zone, the Sverdlovsk Region Ministry of Emergency Situations added.

To remove suspicion from the parents of the child, the detectives checked their testimony on a polygraph. The device showed that the mother and father were not involved in the disappearance. The boy's mother, according to the police, works as a junior teacher in a kindergarten. The father has several convictions and works at a local poultry farm. Search activities are under the personal control of the leadership of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of Russia for the Sverdlovsk Region. Despite the fact that there is no reliable data on the death of the boy, the ICR opened a criminal case under Part 1 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (causing death by negligence).

Taking into account the young age of the missing person, his long absence, as well as weather factors, the possibility of a tragic outcome cannot be ruled out. As part of an initiated criminal case, investigators have the opportunity to carry out a wider range of actions aimed at the most thorough clarification of the circumstances of the incident. In addition, the initiation of a criminal case is due to the need to intensify search activities, commented in the TFR in the Sverdlovsk region. - An inspection of the place of loss has already been carried out, the place of residence of the child in the village of Reftinsky has been conducted, his parents, other relatives, neighbors, employees of the kindergarten he visits, as well as a number of citizens who were on the shore of the reservoir at the time of the disappearance of the child, have been interviewed. So far, it has not been possible to identify the fishermen to whom the boy came out of the forest, mistaking their tent for his own. According to preliminary information, there were five fishermen, they arrived in two Toyota cars and camped with tents on the opposite bank from the children's camp "Iskorka".

On June 11, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the disappearance of the boy for causing death by negligence, but the four-year-old child was found alive. Doctors recorded severe hypothermia and dehydration in the boy Dima, he was also badly bitten by ticks. The child was searched for by more than 500 people, including police, investigators, rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and volunteers.

“Today, one of the groups combing the area found a child. It happened near a swamp, in the area of power lines,” Gorelykh said.

At the time of discovery, the boy was in an exhausted state, he needed to be evacuated to the hospital by helicopter.

A helicopter was sent for Dima to take him to a hospital in Yekaterinburg.

The Sokol search team, which took part in the search, clarified that the boy was found near the swamp, about seven kilometers from the deployed rescue headquarters.
