Krasnoyarsk was plunged into lockdown following the savagery.
It is believed the bear killed and buried Zoya before Galina came to the same spot just hours later.

A local said: “Most likely, the predator was close by and, when Galina accidentally approached the spot, it attacked her too.
“She may have seen Zoya’s body or belongings in the forest, after which the animal mauled her.”

Emergency services later found the grandmothers’ ravaged corpses in “graves” just 16ft apart.
Krasnoyarsk has faced one of the worst summers on record for bear attacks.
A state of “high alert” was ordered due to “the increasing number of bear sightings within the city limits”.
Earlier on Thursday, an “aggressive young bear” was shot dead near a school in the suburb of Yemelyanovo.
Separately, students at Siberian Federal University in the city were ordered to stay in their dormitories due to a bear threat on the same day.
Hungry bears are breaking into urban areas to scavenge for food amid shortages of pine nuts and berries, their natural diet.
The low yields have been caused by drought and wildfires.
Krasnoyarsk mayor Sergey Vereshchagin said the emergency measure “allows for the mobilisation of both city services and law enforcement agencies to increase patrols, strengthen monitoring, and respond more quickly to resident alerts in the event of a predator’s appearance”.
Last month, a bride-to-be was savaged by a bear after she was dragged from her tent in the dead of night – just one day after getting engaged.
Snezhana Korolyova, 29, was mauled to death during a romantic camping trip in the Altai Mountains of Russia in southern Siberia.
Her fiance – who has not been named – had only proposed the day before she was tragically killed.
The couple were awoken to the beast tearing apart their tent around 1am before it “hauled the screaming woman away”.
It savagely killed the newly engaged woman before carrying her body across the Biya River to bury her, according to reports.
Gamekeepers and Russian cops shot in the air but did not aim at the beast despite “having the opportunity to kill it” due to shooting restrictions in the area.
