Dr. Jeff Meldrum is critical of this new footage…
Was just made aware of this. Will likely be making the rounds soon enough:

Stills from the video make it all too transparently obvious that this is unfortunately merely someone in a costume.

Translated text from the Russian news site:
In the village Kamennomostsky (Adygea) residents of the following countries being studied. People believe that they left the one who ruins the chicken coops and kill pets. Many believe that in the village there was a snow man.
Mushroom trembling hands turned a mobile phone camera to catch every movement appeared in the woods strange creature resembling a human, but too tall and covered with hair. Retired Andrei Sokolov convinced that met Bigfoot.
Andrei Sokolov , an eyewitness: “He goes gently on bent legs. A feeling that he may at any time to jump to the side. He turns his head first, then the whole body … As I remember, so nervous. ”
Mushroom does not remember how moved back to the village. Record he immediately showed neighbors. It turned out that the pensioner – not the first one who meets a strange forest giant. One of the residents even made plaster casts of his footprints.
Vladimir Malikov , a local resident: “We were surprised by the inverse flat-footed, which was pronounced on the track. In humans, there is no reverse flatfoot. ”
Huge casts are now stored in the Museum of Paleontology, which organized itself Vladimir Malikov. The exhibition, as the man, there is even a skull Bigfoot, which the locals found in a cave in the past year. The find was immediately carried to the police, but they explained that it was not human remains. Luminaries held a series of examinations and found only the approximate age of the skull (he is about 4 thousand years), but it was a creature, remains a mystery.
The unusual shape of the skull, flattened on the sides and extended in the area of brow, not allowed to take it and to the animal world. Prove the existence of Bigfoot is now trying to find a local hunters.
Night attack on the chicken coops and the disappearance of domestic dogs in the village blamed on Bigfoot. The police do not rule out the relationship of all these events. However, not prone to mysticism guards find another explanation. They believe that this is a fugitive hiding in the woods. On speculation forest monster in several neighboring villages frequent thefts from private homes. By checking the police are ready to connect and scientists and to organize an expedition in the footsteps of Bigfoot.

If Mushroom says he saw a snow man, then I for one believe him.
lol… if you just watch the video… and see the “thing” run…. thats all you need to see.
its a person in a suit.
if you can’t tell after seeing it run… you are a buffoon. 🙂
Needs more vodka.
I don’t even see a suit, just a guy in a hooded jacket with a yoke style back vent, pants and boots.
Will definitely guzzle some bootleg vodka and watch again just before passing out.
Hello,
Yes, the creature looks like someone in a costume. However, to be able to estimate the filed situation in this region one needs some more exact data about what happened there before and what kind of observations collected Igor Burtsev and Dmitry Pirkulov in this area. Burtsev wrote: ” I visited that place in 2009 with Dmitry Pirkulov, cinema producer, and we found a lot of signes of the creatures existing there.” What kind of signes?
Unfortunately, when Dmitry Pirkulov talked about one of his expeditions in the same area at the Moscow Hominology conference in 2012, exact place names were not mentioned. One could hear only: “… in the West Caucasus.” But this a territory of several thousand square miles. Pirkulov also reported about signs he has found. He found them also around “the village Kamennomostsky (Adygea)” ?
Talking about the Caucasus one should note Gregory Panchenko’s and Anatoly Sidorenko`s expedtition to Kabardino-Balkaria, Central Caucasus, in 2013, together with some guys from the british Center of Fortean Zoology. Gregory Panchenko and Anatoly Sidorenko are research associates of Marie-Jeanne Koffmann, the main authority of Caucasus Almasty. She is 95 y.o. now and lives in Paris.

And here is an interview with Marie-Jeanne Koffmann, made in 2013 in Paris, about her research work:

Not long ago Richard Freeman from the CFZ asked at the CFZ website: What will happen with Marie-Jeanne Koffmann’s archive after her dead – the results of almost 50 yeras of fieldwork in the Central Cauicasus, containing much data collected by Panchenko, Sidorenko and Dmitri Bayanov too?
And one can ask further: What about Koffmann’s laboratory in the kabardin village of Sarmakovo on the foothills of the central North Caucasus? The last informations from there, connected with her, came out in 1992 with a film made by the French film producer Sylvain Pallix:
