For example, here are the lines from a letter from a tenth-grader at the Volmyanskaya secondary school of the Dzerzhinsky district, Yuri Malitsky: “The article really excited me. And that's why.
I live in the village of Menki, which is about 8-10 kilometers from Rakov. On April 22, 1983 (I remember the date very well), on my way to school, which is located in the village of Dushkovo (two kilometers from Men'kov), I met the creature mentioned in the article. It was like that.
I walked. One. About half a kilometer from Dushkov, in an old quarry where sand was previously mined (it is located about 100 meters from the road), I saw something dark and huge. It protruded from the quarry. I looked closer and was numb with fear: it was a humanoid creature 3-4 meters high. Overgrown with thick wool, which had a shade from dark brown to black in different parts of the body. The huge, overgrown head was planted directly on the shoulders. The arms and legs are long. I remembered his appearance, probably, for the rest of my life. Frightened, I rushed to run towards the school. When he looked around for a moment, the creature followed me with heavy, measured steps and, as it seemed to me, looked at me with interest, as if studying. I screamed out of fear and ran even faster. After 100-200 meters I looked back again:the creature stood on the hill near the quarry sideways, turning its head, and was watching me.
I ran to school and told the children about what had happened to me. Almost no one believed me, but several boys agreed to come with me to a career. Let's go, but there was no one there. We were afraid to go to the place where the creature stood and therefore did not see any traces.
When adults, including my parents, found out about this, I was declared a dreamer. Perhaps you will think that I invented everything. But it was in reality. And after your publication, I considered it my duty to report this fact …"
