The Russian vision is presented within this book. Bigfoot is a familiar word today around the world. Since the middle of the last century it indicates a mysterious giant primate of North America, who is also called Sasquatch. The Russian vision of this research is distinguished by at least three peculiarities: it is based on the combined evidence regarding these primates; it regards these humanlike beings as relict hominids (hominins by latest primate classification), i.e., the closest relatives of modern man, Homo sapiens; and it firmly takes the existence of these still enigmatic bipeds for a biological fact, not a popular myth or a scientific hypothesis. The purpose of the book is to substantiate these views and claims. The main philosophic question posed by it: What is it to be human?
Industry Reviews

This book is an absolutely EXCELLENT assessment of not only hominology in Russia, but also worldwide. Dmitri goes into the various names for Russian Wildmen, such as Leshiy, which translates to Wood Goblin. He discusses the history behind these and the history of hominology studies and how he and his colleagues have been pioneering those studies for at least 60 years. He also writes an excellent section on the Patterson/Gimlin movie where he addresses many of those who have claimed to be the man in the suit and their backers, as well as addressing the skeptics of the film. Dmitri also discusses the Yowie in a lengthy chapter, and for the first time since 2001 publishes his short booklet 'Bigfoot: To Kill Or To Film: The Problem Of Proof' in its entirety, with a bit of bonus material in this book. He also discusses quite a bit about the language capabilities of hominids, juxtaposing it with information received from Janice Carter about this very thing. He then talks of Janice and the events occurring on her farm. He rounds out the book with an interview conducted with him by cryptozoologist Craig Heinselman, and also some humor and a great wrap-up chapter. This book is absolutely terrific and highly-recommended for anyone's cryptozoological bookshelf. 5 out o5 5 stars!!!!!!
