Russian Manuscript Reveals Soviet Expedition in Search of Bigfoot
A recently translated 1958 Russian manuscript tells the story of a Soviet expedition in search of a Bigfoot-like creature known as the almasty. The expedition, led by a historian, included folklorists, geologists, and anthropologists. Local tales described tall, hairy beings with a shrill cry and unusually large feet. While the expedition was considered a failure by the scientific establishment, the leader continued research into Bigfoot throughout Central Asia. In recent years, even Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed to have seen a family of Yetis while on vacation.
