A bear mauled a man in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug; the predator was neutralized.
[Regnum] A man died in a bear attack in the village of Urengoy in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YNAO). The regional Investigative Committee's press service reported this on November 3.

According to the report, the animal attacked the victim on Tuesday morning. The man died at the scene from his injuries. The attacker was subsequently subdued.

The agency also emphasized that increased bear activity is currently being recorded in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Therefore, residents of the region are urged to refrain from hiking in the forest, picking mushrooms and berries, and to immediately report any traces of these animals to the police.

Previously, the remains of a 55-year-old man and evidence of a bear attack were discovered at a winter hut in the Tomsk region. A resident of the village of Kievsky went to the hut for a few days with his dogs. When the hunter failed to return on time, his relatives raised the alarm and went looking for him. A search revealed his remains and clear evidence of a fight with the bear. Local residents later killed the bear. An autopsy revealed parts of the man's suit.

In Siberia and the Far East, bears have become increasingly frequent in their approach to human settlements. Due to food shortages in the taiga and population growth, the animals are increasingly approaching people. Biological Sciences PhD Pavel Glazkov previously explained in an interview with Regnum News Agency that in the fall, predators actively seek food to accumulate fat reserves before hibernation.

A man died in the Angara region while saving his wife from a bear.
A man sacrificed himself in a forest in the Irkutsk region to save his wife from a bear attack. This was reported by the press service of the Republican Clinical Hospital (RCH) of Tatarstan on MAX.

A wild animal attacked a 55-year-old employee of a Kazan company and her colleagues on October 4 during a business trip to Irkutsk. According to preliminary reports, the employees were getting ready to go to the sauna when the bear emerged from the forest. The animal attempted to break into their homes, breaking doors and windows.

At some point, the woman's husband diverted the beast's attention to himself so that his wife and colleagues could escape. He sacrificed himself, and his wife survived, but suffered a severe leg fracture when she fell from a second-story window.

At the hospital, the woman received the necessary emergency care. She then had to choose a clinic for the planned leg reconstruction surgery. Since the patient had voluntary health insurance with a Kazan-based company, she decided to seek specialists in Tatarstan.

On the recommendation of friends, the victim made an appointment with Gamil Garifullov, head of the first trauma department at the Tatarstan Republican Clinical Hospital. He diagnosed her with a severe comminuted fracture of the upper third of the tibia with complete displacement and bone damage. To restore her leg, traumatologists had to combine three surgical procedures into one.

"First, the traumatologists installed the Ilizarov apparatus to stretch the dislocated tibia and realign it. Then they applied a plate with screws, securing one column of bone, and then did the same with the second column. The Ilizarov apparatus was then removed. Another complication was that the femur had pushed down on the tibia, creating a defect. All of this needed to be restored and the joint stabilized," Garifullov said.

The four-hour surgery was successful. The very next day, the patient was able to stand and move around with the help of a walker. Doctors predict that full recovery will take up to six months. The woman will be discharged in the coming days, after which she will return home for further rehabilitation.
