Overview
- The Mirror and Daily Record republished detailed retellings of a 2011 incident in which 19-year-old Olga Moskalyova and her stepfather, Igor Tsyganenkov, were killed by bears in Siberia.
- The accounts center on Olga’s calls to her mother, Tatiana, who said she heard parts of the attack live and recounted her daughter’s reported final words.
- According to the reports, the stepfather was attacked first before a mother bear chased Olga about 70 yards and seized her leg.
- Tatiana contacted police, who were said to have reached the area about 90 minutes later as hunters tracked and killed the bears, reportedly finding them still feeding on a victim.
- The articles frame the story within claims that bear attacks are becoming more common in Russia, though they provide no cited studies or new official data to support that context.
