Recently, all the news portals have circulated a note that the excavator driver of a mine from the city of Leninsk-Kuznetskiy Pashkov Evgeny Aleksandrovich sent to the International Center of Hominology a video footage of the footprints and of the humanoid creature itself, made by schoolboy Evgeny Anisimov from the Leninsk-Kuznetsk district of the Kemerovo region on January 21, 2013.
As the examination revealed, this creature is the so-called "Bigfoot", or Yeti, the observations of which in the Kemerovo region have been reported by various eyewitnesses for several years.

Since 2009, as an expert hominologist, I had a chance to visit the Kemerovo region several times, mainly in its southern part - Gornaya Shoria - in order to investigate reports of meetings there with mysterious wild two-legged known as "Bigfoot", or Yeti (scientific name - relict hominoid, or in short - hominoid), and for searches and research on this issue. Of the most reliable reports, I will note the testimony of a former teacher Vladimir Ivanovich Sergeev, a resident of the village of Ust-Kabyrza and a former employee of the Tashtagol administration Lilia Vasilievna Zenkova. I received her message in March 2011.
In addition to these messages, there were several other testimonies that were less vivid.
In addition, in my archive there was one testimony from the Kyshtovsky district of the neighboring Novosibirsk region, dating back to 2004 - about the meeting there of a "Bigfoot" by a teenager and the investigation of this case by local hunting experts and policemen, and one report about a meeting with such creatures in the city of Leninsk- Kuznetsky in 1942.
A lot of material on observations of hominoids to the south, in the neighboring mountainous Altai mountainous region in Mongolia (Mongolian Altai), was collected by me earlier during a long expedition there in 1976 (the local name of the creature in Mongolia is almas).
During expeditions to Gornaya Shoria in 2009-2010. With the help of a local guide, police officer Valery Topakov (now the head of the administration of the village of Ust-Kabyrza), I managed to find a significant number of unusual man-made structures in the forest on the slopes of Mount Karatag - wood markers, which, in my firm belief, were created by the hands of wild two-legged forest inhabitants. In appearance, they are similar to similar structures found in other regions of Russia (Kirov, Novgorod, Vologda, Leningrad, Tula, Tver, etc., in the Caucasus), as well as in other countries - the USA, Canada, Australia, in some European countries.

In early October 2011, the International Scientific and Practical Conference on Hominology was held in Kuzbass, it was attended by scientists and researchers from the USA, Canada, Sweden, Estonia, Russia, including several doctors and candidates of science. The conference program included two mini-expeditions - to the Azasskaya cave area and to the Karatag mountain. The conference participants found footprints, bedding and hair of supposedly hominoids in the Azasskaya cave, as well as several wood structures made by the hands of "snowmen" on the approaches to the cave and on the slopes of Mount Karatag in the Tashtagol region.
Opponents once again declared the finds to be fabricated by order of the authorities, ostensibly to attract tourists to the region. But - the taiga was not slow to answer the skeptics and to support the available data with new material evidence.
On November 6 of the same 2011, the traces of the two-legged creature in the snow were discovered by the Kungushev family - Yuri and Svetlana with children - on the way to their dacha in Aleksandrovka (near Tashtagol), they also collected hair samples of the alleged "Bigfoot" (Yeti). Judging by the tracks, the creature followed in a southerly direction.
In mid-December 2011, during an expedition to Kuzbass, a Japanese TV group (producer Katada, host of the Takihara program) examined and filmed footprints in the cave, as well as found creases in the trees along the trail chain indicated by the Kungushevs. The Kungushevs themselves drew attention to these creases only after I discovered them. These creases confirmed the message of the Kungushevs. Some of the hair samples were sent to Japan for research.
In the spring of 2012 (April 24), the Kungushevs discovered new creases on the bushes on the way to their dacha, from which they concluded that the hominoid was migrating back from south to north. During an Italian expedition in June 2012 (led by Marco Zamparelli), these creases were also documented. Some of the hair samples were also given to the Italian team for research.
At the October 2011 conference, Lilia Vasilievna Zenkova spoke about her meeting with the Bigfoot in the Spasskiye Lugi area on June 13, 2005. Her story also found material confirmation during the Italian expedition: in the place where the creature met L. V. Zenkova left, the expedition members documented the tree markers I found there - intertwined tree branches.
In the summer of 2012, a fisherman from the town of Myski Vitaly Vershinin, while sailing on a boat along the river, observed a humanoid creature on the banks of the Mrassu River. Around the same places, a similar creature was seen by tourists sailing along the river in a boat.

As it became known later, a young zoologist Oksana Zhukova in March 2012 accidentally saw and photographed, albeit from afar, a humanoid creature on a snow-covered field near the city of Yurga. This case was investigated and commented on by zoologist Professor Alexander Polyakov from Kemerovo.
And on January 21, 2013, three schoolchildren aged 11-12 years, while walking near a village located 30 km from the city of Leninsk-Kuznetsky, saw mysterious footprints in the snow, followed them and suddenly noticed a dark two-legged figure not far away behind the bushes. One of them, Evgeny Anisimov, who filmed their hike on the tracks with a mobile phone camera, managed to film it until it noticed them, bent sharply to the ground and quickly rushed away from them, into the thickets … The guys were also frightened, turned back, and gave a streak from him. As Zhenya Anisimov later explained, at first it seemed to him that it was some kind of guy who was busy there, but then he saw that he was big, two meters tall, and shaggy.
Evgeny Pashkov, who sent me the video, said that Zhenya Anisimov, who took the footprints and the creature itself, is an orphan. His mother died of cancer, and his father committed suicide … Zhenya has two more younger brothers, at the age of 8 and 5 years. They live with their grandmother, Valentina Petrovna Panova, and, of course, they are in need. Therefore, I sent the video to the governor of the region, Aman Gumirovich Tuleyev, noting the undoubted value of the shooting and with a request to encourage the boy financially, given that this is the first in the history of Russia more or less reliable and sufficiently visual video of the "Bigfoot"
Unfortunately, the administration staff hastily posted the video on the Internet, without bothering to process it and drown out the profanity that the guys used during the filming. Based on this, according to the information received, some psychologists arrived at the scene and told the guys that they had a sick psyche.
Later, the local authorities, instead of encouraging them, accused the guys of hooliganism and sent police representatives to take action, who were supposed to register them in the police children's room. At the same time, it would be necessary to bring to justice those negligent administration staff who distributed this video on the network.
When viewing the video, it can be seen that the creature was still standing, slightly stooped, its arms seemed to hang low. And then, when it noticed the guys, it bent down and abruptly recoiled to the side. When watching the video, our experts had no doubts that it was the "Bigfoot" who was filmed, this was evident from his posture, and from his reaction, and from his movements - everything indicated that the shooting was real.
Thus, despite the insinuations of opponents, including foreign ones, the existence on the territory of the Kemerovo region of mysterious inhabitants - "snowmen", or yeti - is confirmed by an increasing number of visual evidence, and in particular - the first in the history of Russia, quite convincing, albeit poor quality video footage of one of these creatures.
From the footprints caught in the frame, it is clear that they seem to be double, that is, they were passed along them twice. Initially, we assumed that the creature was walking first towards the village, to the river, and then following its own tracks back to the glade where the guys found it. But later, researchers from the USA and Canada joined the discussion. They drew our attention to the fact that smaller tracks were imprinted inside the large tracks, and from the nature of the snow removal of their tracks, it became clear that both tracks were going in the same direction. So, through joint efforts, we came to the conclusion that two creatures left footprints: a large and a small one. Moreover, the big one walked ahead, paving the way, and the small one followed in his footsteps. By the way, when discussing the video on the website, our opponents noted that the creature's step is too short. But, apparently, this is due to the factthat the large creature deliberately took short steps so that it would be more convenient for the small to follow in its footsteps.
Further, at the moment when the large creature noticed the guys, the small one was on his arms or on his shoulder, and the legs of the small one hung down. This was pointed out by our American colleagues, and we agreed with them. And when the creature bent down and darted to the side, it is clear that the body is too wide, which is quite consistent with the fact that the small creature is in his arms.
Later, Evgeny Pashkov said that shortly before this meeting, a mink had poured a dozen chickens from one of the residents of the village, and the owner threw them out behind the river, just near the place where the guys began to follow the tracks. And the guys hung them there on trees and bushes, just out of pampering. But there were not even feathers left of the chickens, as is the case when dogs are torn to pieces. From this we can conclude that, probably, the creatures took the dead chickens and carried them away.
Evgeny became interested in this case and asked Zhenya Anisimov to take him to the clearing where the guys found hominoids. They went there, the snow was already covering the tracks, but they were still noticeable. Eugene walked over them and said that the tracks left that glade, made a circle and came back. And then we left in the direction of the highway. In addition, he found several trees gnawed at a height of 150-170 cm in a clearing, and one was gnawed, and the gnawed piece was lying nearby in the snow. It was a dry tree, no more than five centimeters thick. And the bark of the neighboring living tree was gnawed. At my request, Evgeny photographed these trees.

Bigfoot bait.
Since Eugene decided to keep an eye on this place, we advised him to leave some food for the hominoids. And just in the village, the mink again poured chickens. We told him to put some chickens in a sack and hang them on a tree, which he did. Let's see how events will develop further …
