According to TASS estimates, based on reports from regional authorities and open data, the death toll from bear attacks in Russia has increased to 33. A new tragic incident occurred in the Kirov region: as reported by the regional government, on November 7, a bear attacked a man who, during a deer hunt, found himself near a bear den in Yuryansky district, and died from his hunters' district. This is the first such incident in the region in 2026. Before that, according to TASS, at least 32 people became victims of bear attacks in Russia in 2026, with the largest number of deaths recorded in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - nine. In Siberia and the Far East, the situation with the departure of bears to people remains difficult: in recent years, the population of these animals in the forests has increased significantly, and this year turned out to be a lean harvest in the taiga, which is why hunger pushes predators to populated areas, where most attacks on people occur.
