It will be about meetings with Bigfoot - almasty. This is the name of a hominid, or a humanoid creature that lives in Kabardino-Balkaria. Information about him was collected by the writer and ethnographer Viktor Kotlyarov, who spent more than a dozen years on this. Personally, I took part in several expeditions with Kotlyarov. Obsessed with curiosity, we walked through forest thickets and impassable gorges, hoping to meet Almasty face to face. But deliberately meeting Bigfoot is hardly possible. As it usually happens, the sister of luck is an accident …
This story was told to Victor by a resident of Nalchik Mazhid. In the summer of 1963, he was vacationing in a pioneer camp. One day he was greatly offended by his ten-year-old peers. The majid climbed over the fence and walked for a long time, climbing the hill, until he came across a field with green corn. Here he sat down and, again experiencing the unfair ridicule of his friends, burst into tears. Majid did not immediately notice that some creature was watching him from the corn. In a moment, the stems parted, and a huge monkey with a human face appeared in front of Majid in all its glory. The boy ran, repeating, like an incantation: "Chur me!". Majid did not tell about this case either to the teachers or to the parents who had come to see. But the father and mother, seeing the face of their son, offered to return home without any questions.
A similar story was told by 90-year-old Zhansurat from the Zolsky district. Once, having entered the barn where the corn was stored in the morning, the woman saw a strange overgrown creature on the floor. It looked like a man, and more like a woman. Her arms were very long, about two meters tall. At the sight of Zhansurat, the creature tried to rise. The grandmother realized that Almasty was sick, brought her clothes from home, covered her and fed her with food from her table. When Almasty got better, she left.
"Local resident Khusein Khushinov met with Almasty twice." On August 10, 1964, he was on haymaking and suddenly heard a strange sound nearby, as if someone was sniffing. At first, Hussein did not attach any importance to this, he decided that he had heard. The sound was repeated. Then the man put down his scythe and went to look. Suddenly, out of the grass in the direction of him, two hands rose up, similar to human, but long and hairy. Hussein ran away and climbed on a cart about 10 meters from this place. Standing already on the cart, he saw a human figure, which, bent over, went into the sunflowers. Only the back was clearly visible. She was covered with red hair, long strands from her head hung down to her shoulders. When Hussein coped with fear and returned to the scythe, he again heard a sound, this time like a squeak. Gathering his courage, the man approached carefully and parted the grass. Two newborn "Almastenka" lay on the crumpled hay, as if in a nest. The kids were small, two kilograms each, the skin was pink, like a human child, the same head, arms, legs. Hussein harnessed the cart and returned to the village, where he told his relatives and neighbors about the incident. Two days later, he returned to that place, the newborns were gone. The man put the bread he had brought with him nearby and waited. I waited several hours and was about to go home, when suddenly I ran into Almasty almost face to face. The creature ran at a shallow trot and stopped rooted to the spot three or four meters from Hussein. It was a female: slanting eyes, crooked, like a rider's, legs, huge breasts hanging down to the navel. Almasty breathed evenly and looked at him point-blank, then calmly walked towards the weeds.as if in a nest.

The next, absolutely amazing story came from the village of Psygansu. Local residents said that 15 years ago, Bigfoot kidnapped a resident of the village Zarema Krymtahotova. The relatives decided that the groom had stolen her, but three days passed, and no one appeared from the groom's side. They searched for the girl for a long time, Zarema was found three years later. The hunters saw her in the forest in the company of a huge hairy man and the same hairy child. The girl broke free and rushed to the car, begging to leave quickly. Almasty ran after him for a long time, breaking the silence of the forest with terrible screams. When the girl recovered from the shock, she said that Bigfoot kidnapped her and forced her to live with him.
There are several versions of who they are, where they come from and where they go. One by one, these are the offspring of feral people who survived in the forest or were fed by animals. On the other hand, Almasty is the ancestor of man, a kind of missing link in evolution. The most curious version is that Bigfoot came from a parallel world, got lost and could not find his way back. Whether it is true or not, surveys made by participants in numerous expeditions, in particular by the famous researcher Zhanna Kofman, convince that the North Caucasus is a breeding ground for hominids. Documentary evidence of the existence of Almasta is also given in the book by Viktor Kotlyarov "Bigfoot in the Caucasus". So far, the documentary story of Leonid Zamyatin "In Search of Bigfoot" remained in the manuscript,where observations and dozens of meetings of the author with eyewitnesses of the existence of almasty are described. And to believe or not in Almasty, everyone decides for himself.
