According the Russian REGNUM webpage

* found the body of Danil nasedkin of 1983 g.r.,
* is not still discovered: Gerasimenko by Maxim (1984 g.r., Sevastopol), Igor bednikov (1985 g.r., Samara) and Dmitriy Chernenko (1986 g.r., g. Novaya Kakhovka).

The rescue operations are temporarily ended because of the poor weather conditions, the danger of gathering new avalanche and absence of the corresponding technology. For the purpose of rendering aid in the rescue- search works the government of Abkhaziya was connected with Sochi MCHS (EMERGENCY AND DISASTER RELIEF MINISTRY).
