"… it happened in the 20s of the last century, in a small village of the Chelyabinsk region called KULUYEVO. And the following actually happened: during the mowing, the men drove the hairy creature out of the swamp, they tried to catch it, but nothing came of it, the creature was so dexterous that it was in no way given to the first Ural "Yeti hunters" …"
When interviewing soldiers, Nikolai Avdeev was lucky to hear another story about the observation of a hominoid. This time the eyewitness was a private conscript Erik Galiullin, this is what he said: “On September 19 this year, I was on guard at the post, 5 kilometers away from the unit. When suddenly, in one of the glades, I saw a "hairy", he stood without moving near the very edge of the forest, I felt that he was looking exactly in my direction, after standing a little it began to move along the edge of the forest, at that moment I moved back, a creature disappeared into the forest. During all this time, I managed to get a good look at him, his height was about 2.5 meters, his body was covered with hair, his figure was all hunched and square."
Since the military unit is located near the village, when interviewing local residents, Avdeev's group also managed to receive reports of the observation of a strange forest dweller by villagers.
One of these was Ivan Zhurkov, the watchman of the local base (it is not clear which one, because it was not specified) and a regular bus driver named Rudakov, who was returning home from the route. All observations boiled down to one, a strange creature, tall, covered with fur, not aggressive.
The expedition under the leadership of Avdeev worked near the village of Novogorny for two months. It could have been longer, but the snow fell and field work was stopped.
This expedition became, probably, the most productive in those many years of the invisible pursuit of the hominoid. As a result of the "Novogornaya Expedition", the researchers obtained a number of material evidence: casts of the footprints of a hominoid, hair and samples of excrement. Found them (excrement and hair) on one of the beds arranged by the hominoid for a halt, it was located near a small swamp. Although it does not sound euphonious, the last one was especially dear and important among the finds, because it was in it that many clues were hidden about the questions that tormented Nikolai Avdeev, questions about the nature of the hominoid.
Now it only remained to send all the samples received, to some research institute, for their processing and "parsing by brick." And only then make some definite conclusions. Avdeev sent the samples to two different scientific institutes, one (excrement) to the Veterinary Institute of the city of Troitsk, and the other (hair) to the Central Urals Forensic Research Laboratory.
The answers came quite interesting, at the Veterinary Institute, according to the presented sample, they issued a conclusion that the object by whom this sample was left has a similar digestive system as a person. And by the presence of parasites in the excrement, it was possible to determine the supposed age of the creature - 3 years. A conclusion about the similarity of the digestive systems was issued on the basis of a chemical study, it turned out that the presented sample contained protein, fiber. After examining the mineral components in order to understand what this animal ate, the medical staff who conducted the study came to the conclusion that, based on the minerals contained, it can be concluded that the one who "inherited" ate mainly plant foods (oats, barley, wheat) as well as food waste.

With the hair found, the situation was different. At first, experts from Yekaterinburg could not accurately conduct a study, they only said that the hair belongs to a primate, and which one is not known. It was decided to send samples to Moscow. In Moscow, they asked for money for the study, and not small, but Avdeev did not have the required amount, and already desperate that the samples would remain unexplored by anyone, the famous Petersburg cryptozoologist Valentin Borisovich Sapunov (Doctor of Biological Sciences, a cryptozoologist with a long-term practice). He examined the samples provided to him at the Oil and Gas Research Institute.
Using an electron scanning microscope (Tesla BS-301), Sapunov concluded that the object of study was nothing more than the hair of a humanoid primate. Sapunov in his practice has already met with similar samples, he also had at his personal disposal hairs of a hominoid, but not the Ural, but the northern one. Moreover, when comparing, they turned out to be ABSOLUTELY identical to each other, the main difference is the color - in the north it is white, and in the Urals it is darker. It's a pity that in both cases DNA was not isolated, there were no suitable conditions for this: there were few hairs themselves, and there were no hair follicles … but then scientists believed that they almost got close to not only the DNA of the hominoid, but almost considered caught, as it turns out later, nothing will come of it,the hominoid will again slip away and prove to everyone once again that he is the best in this game of hide and seek.
But while you can be content with the results already obtained, and you can not be content with them, you should be proud of them! After all, now in the hands of scientists there were immediately two indisputable proofs of the absolute reality of the hominoid, as a living creature that lives on the territory of Russia! Moreover, they were issued by very serious organizations officially recognized by the Russian Academy of Sciences. This could already be called a huge breakthrough in the study of "Bigfoot", but the search continued. Inspired by the impressive results of the expedition, the researchers continued their searches in the vicinity of the village of Novogorny, and as it turned out for good reason.
The expedition was coming to an end. Winter was coming in the Urals. In the last days of field work, Avdeev and his group were already quite well oriented on the terrain and, moreover, they had already identified a certain path along which the hominoid made his movements in this area. Having passed a certain distance along it, Avdeev saw a bunch of trees and bushes, he wanted to go up to her and take pictures of her from all sides. It turned out, frankly, not easy to get to this blockage. The cryptozoologist made his way through dead wood and thorns in the hope of finding at least some traces of a hominoid near this blockage. On the way, Avdeev hardly adjusted his camera for shooting in these conditions and was already preparing to take the first shot … when suddenly, approaching a heap of trees almost dense, this blockage began to move,and a moment later, from behind the broken branches, the figure of the real "Bigfoot" appeared, which began to move towards the taken aback cryptozoologist !!! Avdeev mechanically pressed the camera shutter button and ran away (see Fig. 1).
As Nikolai Pavlovich himself later recalled, he raced like a rocket, and, not paying attention to anything, neither the ubiquitous bush, nor the prickly dead wood. He just ran, ran from the very place where his first encounter with a mysterious creature took place - a relict hominoid. The photograph of a hominoid became a truly magnificent crown of all searches carried out by Nikolai Pavlovich and his comrades. Later, the news of the photo taken will be swept across the country, the leading newspapers of Russia will write about this case, and the photo itself will even be shown in the evening program "Vremya". However, the turbulent 90s, and the picture took place in 1990, absorbed a sensation, people simply had no time for hominoids, the masses were worried about politics, the country was heading for disintegration, so this truly amazing information remained simply unnoticed by the masses.
To confirm his innocence, in front of skeptics, Nikolai Avdeev submitted the image for an independent examination to the St. Petersburg State Optical Institute. They issued a conclusion that the pictures depict a creature that is about 1.5 times larger than the average height of a person, the creature has developed muscles, the figure is massive, the body is covered with wool (wool becomes this way under the influence of water, for example, the creature in the photo could get caught in the rain) … Based on the proportions of the body shown in the pictures, you can determine the body weight, it is approximately 200 kg.
The picture was genuine and this is probably one of the few evidences of the appearance of "Bigfoot" with such a wide evidence base, but despite any evidence, skeptical citizens still cannot be convinced. The final point in the debate on the reality of a hominoid can be put only when at least one individual of this species can be caught.
But the researchers led by Avdeev continued their search for the hominoid. After conducting a complete revision of his knowledge, obtained both in the expeditions and from V. Chernetsov, Avdeev put forward a bold, but as it turned out to be true, theory about the migration routes of the "Bigfoot". In fact, the researchers compared all the points on the map where eyewitnesses observed a mysterious creature. It turned out that the creature was seen over a period of time in the same places. The theory was confirmed by a message about the observation of a hominoid that came from Zlatoust, in 1992, a local hunter Vladimir Shipitsyn, met with a goblin, as they say, head to head. It happened in the forests near Zlatoust. On the foothills of the Urenga ridge.
Of the available points where an observation post could be set up, Avdeev chose Zlatoust, since, in his opinion, and the opinion of his fellow researchers, it is in this area that the probability of encountering a hominoid is much higher than in other parts of the region. Located close to the place where Shipitsyn witnessed the appearance of the mysterious hominoid, the group sat in an "ambush". While there was an "ambush" on the "Bigfoot", the surroundings were examined, quite interesting things were discovered there. So one day, researchers discovered the trunk of a young birch, stuck in the branches of a pine tree. And it was stuck in so neatly that not a single branch was broken. Avdeev immediately realized that this was the work of the "Bigfoot". He had already met similar structures in other expeditions to find the "Bigfoot", and put forward a theory,that this is how the hominoid designates its territory, that is, in fact, it is a label. If Nikolai Pavlovich's theory is correct, then there are at least two hominoids in the region. This find only strengthened the desire of researchers to wait for the appearance of "Bigfoot". Time passed, and the hominoid refused to follow its own route … but the researchers did not lose heart. We decided to wait until the last. In the mountains of the Southern Urals, the cold part of autumn came, snow fell. Avdeev was waiting …Avdeev was waiting …Avdeev was waiting …
This happened at five o'clock in the morning on the day before the end of the expedition. Nikolai Pavlovich did not sleep well, it was very cold, suddenly in the courtyard in front of the standing tent, he heard some kind of noise, it was the ringing of a bowler hat. There was no spoon inside, so it is not clear how he could ring. Avdeev took a lantern, and slightly opening the tent, lit up all the space available to him. There was nothing and no one. He opened the tent door completely and began to illuminate the entire space in the forest. Conducting a beam of light, he bumped into it - a hominoid! The gominoid stood about 20 meters from the tent, he stood still, without moving, no sounds could be heard either. The appearance of the hominoid was not particularly distinguished by the same tufted, crumpled wool of a dirty brown color, hunched over posture, the same huge growth. After a moment, "Bigfoot" carefully went into the forest.
Somehow, I, the author of this material, managed to encounter, as I believe, the tricks of the hominoid. It was on June 25, 2004, near Zlatoust, at the congress of the groups of the Ural region included in the ONIO "Kosmopoisk". On the first night of arrival at the camp site, no one remained on duty at the fire. Having eaten what is called hastily, I and the coordinator of the Ural groups of "Cosmopoisk" went to bed.
At about four o'clock in the morning I heard clear and heavy footsteps near the tent. Despite the seeming massiveness, the walker observed maximum caution so as not to make noise and go unnoticed. Footsteps were heard from the place where the campfire was located, and the kettle was hanging. That night I did not attach much importance to these steps, I did not even get out of the tent, although I looked for a while. Right now I cannot understand what caused my careless behavior. Indeed, there are many other two-legged "monsters" in the forests, in our case it could well be thieves who could steal something from us. In short, not particularly worried about the consequences of night walks near the camp of a certain unknown to me subject, I went to bed, attributing it to some "auditory hallucinations." The day then turned out to be very difficult, we walked about 20 kilometers uphill with full backpacks and were very tired. So I thought it was from overwork. In the morning I told everything to Matvey Solomatin, the coordinator of the ONIOO "Cosmopoisk" in the Ural Federal District, he did not put forward any special theories, in fact, like myself, on this matter.
And a day later, that is, it turns out on Wednesday 27th, the following happened: we decided to fry lard for dinner as a side dish for buckwheat porridge. We admired the aroma of squishy pieces of bacon, such a pleasant smell for us mixed with the smell of smoke from the fire and went into the forest. Apparently that day, not only we enjoyed this divine smell for every tourist … At night, at about 23:00, we heard the first steps in the forest. Let me explain that our camp was located in a clearing surrounded by dense forest. And at night, in the pitch darkness, before we went to the tents, we heard something. At first it was a confident crunch, sounding like the fracture of a thick, dry stick. The crackling came first from the western part of the forest surrounding our clearing, then from the north, and then transferred to the east.
Moreover, in time, these movements occurred in 1-3 seconds. An observation post for the night forest was immediately organized. According to our theory, the "Bigfoot" could come to the smell of fried bacon. In the morning, when examining the forest, we did not find any traces of the movement. This is not surprising, because almost all the land was simply covered with dry trees. So it was not possible to find traces.
Then the movement through the forest stopped, at least we didn't hear anything …
