A wealthy couple and their helicopter pilot have died after a tragic helicopter crash as their bodies were pulled from the charred wreckage by bears in northern Siberia.
The Robinson type helicopter was piloted by the famous former athlete Igor Malinovskii, while flying in the famous Russian tourist region of Kamchatka, before it crashed for reasons still unknown.
Authorities said that after the crash, the bodies of the three passengers were harassed by brown bears in the area who were searching among the remains of the crash.
The two passengers were on a luxury tourist trip and were well-known businessmen. The media named them as Zoya Kaygorodova, in her mid-30s, and Sergey Kolesnyak, the 39-year-old director of the Swedish mobile phone company Tele2.
They were visiting the valley of thermal geysers in Kamchatka Geysers where they suffered the fatal accident.
Local network 5TV wrote: “The remains of tourists who crashed in the Robinson helicopter in Kamchatka were dragged by bears.”
Kaygorodova and Kolesnyak are believed to have been part of a tourist group in Kamchatka on the trip costing several thousand euros to the bear-infested peninsula.
The country is known for volcanoes, glaciers and bears, which makes it an attractive point for luxury tourism.
After the war in Ukraine and Western sanctions, Russians are increasingly exploring domestic tourism.
Kaygorodova was head of Eldorado’s TsUM sales group before moving to a hygiene products company.
While the pilot Malinovskii had been a youth champion in biathlon and had started working as a pilot for his father Vladimir Malinovskii, sending tourists to the remote areas of Kamchatka.
