He was the leader of the ill-fated hiking group; the whole incident is named after him. He was a student of the 5th Faculty of Radio Engineering at UPI university. A talented engineer, he designed and assembled a radio during his 2nd year that was used during hikes in 1956 in the Sayan Mountains. He also designed a small stove that he used after 1958. He was also an experienced athlete. People who knew Igor described him as a thoughtful man who never rushed with his decisions.

Igor was the leader of the ill-fated hiking group; the whole incident is named after him. He was a student of the 5th Faculty of Radio Engineering at UPI university. A talented engineer, he designed and assembled a radio during his 2nd year that was used during hikes in 1956 in the Sayan Mountains. He also designed a small stove that he used after 1958 by Dyatlov himself and that he had brought with him on this trip.
While still a schoolboy who had just finished 7th grade, he, along with his brother Vyacheslav, a student of UPI, participated in trips with hikers from UPI. He was remembered for taking a makeshift portable radio with him on a trip, while in 1951 it was a rarity. It was amazing that he made this radio himself. From the first days of study at UPI, he was actively involved in mountaineering life. He was distinguished by thoroughness in carrying out any tasks, great physical shape, balanced character, and friendly attitude towards people. He mastered the ability to do any job well, sensibly, often originally. Not only was he a skilled radio amateur, he designed and assembled a shortwave radio transmitter and established communication with the country's shortwave, he was a good photographer.
Once on a campaign, one participant, tempted by the thought of the condensed milk in his backpack, secretly from the group ate one can. Regretting afterwards, he told Igor about this. Igor did not scold or shame. He kept silent. And then he said: "We will return to Sverdlovsk, you will pay the cost of the condensed milk to the group’s cash desk." This case was remembered for many years... From Ural Stalker 2009 №1
He was 23 years old when he died. Dyatlov is buried on March 10, 1959, in Mihaylovskoe cemetery, Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia.
