Igor Burtsev contacted Cryptomundo and offered his thoughts on the New Russian Yeti Footage that was posted here on Cryptomundo yesterday.

Hello Craig, I commented your post on FB, but can’t put it on Cryptomundo. Please, do this, citе my opinion there on Cryptomundo.

I think the encounters were real, but TV program mounted the staged video as a re-construction of the event. Only the first playback, very unclear, was genuine video from the mobil-phone camera.

As to the place, from which the info received, I’m no doubt that there are local snowmen there existed. I visited that place in 2009 with Dmitry Pirkulov, cinema producer, and we found a lot of signes of the creatures existing there. We even probably saw a creatures head in the reeds, but didn’t understand immidiately. We thought it was our guide, but after we found him far away of that point, and his head was covered with blue hat, but that head in reeds was just dark, almost black one. And there was swampy place, the guide could not enter that.
