A short but fascinating video on "Bigfoot" observations in Czarist Russia and the Soviet Union. Of course, these are the "almas" of cryptozoology fame.
The clip tells the story of a Soviet geologist-cum-biologist who tried to find the almas in northern Russia during the 1970´s. He originally assumed that the creatures were regular animals, but later developed ideas that they were paranormal in nature.
After getting bad advise from a psychic in Moscow, the intrepid explorer disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the Urals during one last expedition, his fate rumored to be a gruesome one (think cannibalistic orgies)...
Vladimir Pushkarev seems to have become part of the local folklore himself.
