I find it strange that you don´t here much about reports from North Eastern Russia.

If Bf came from North Eastern Russian then there should be plenty of reports of a similar animals there?


I don´t buy that the animal is extinct in Russia and very alive in America. I don´t think that the Russians cover up the existence of this animal either.

I agree,, I'll bet them boys'll put a hole in one in a country minute also!!!

perhaps the noted lack of sightings reported, is merely a result of a lack of communications, ie. phones, radio, computers, etc.

This would be my guess...a vast vast part of Russia (and that entire region of the planet) is still effectively in the 19th century at best in terms of tech.

I think many confuse Russia with the Russian Federation.

What is left of the former Soviet Union, is vast - there are many areas of rural farming - areas where the people don't even speak Russian.

I have worked with former 'Soviets', who spoke Chinese because of the proximity with China and Mongolia and their home towns.

Closer to home, the Caucus mountains, which is where most activity has been recorded during the 20th century is now in the middle of a serious civil war, with rebels controlling the transit routes - visitors and reporters haven't been to the Caucuses for many years.


I am sure that there are Almasty living in areas of the former Soviet Union, but the distrust of authority, the remoteness of the regions, the lack of communication etc. means that it will be decades, perhaps even a century or more before there is any real organised effort to look for these creatures. Not to mention the wholly unreliable and fanciful press agency in Russia.

It doesn't help either that the two most prominent researchers in Russia are lunatics that beleive they Almasty can control minds unless you wear tin foil beanies to repel the brain wave patterns.

of course, if while wearing the tin foil beanie at the same time as putting instant coffee in the microwave. You can pick up the BBC interviewing a cab driver. :new_whistle:

Or fry the brain.

Yeah, Yeah.......... the cab driver has a pakistani accent!!!!!!!!!

Thats true. Before I was born, my mother and sister lived in Sakahlin Island and Yakut (before moving 2 Ukraine and then the USA). Those are on the Far East side of the old USSR and not too far south from the Siberia Sea. There was basically NOTHING out there, and travel across the USSR was not easy for economic and political reasons. It is still a difficult journey and places that were at least at one time part of the big USSR are now tiny stagnant "countries". I think if you lived there you might hear local stores and folklore stuff but the communities and life style there are rather isolated even today in 2006. I think even now they only put out a new phone book every few years. Unfortunately I have no contact with any family that might be there to ever ask anyone if they know of ape men.
