When Everyone Talks About Bigfoot in America and Yeti in the Himalayas, Why Does Nobody Mention the Wild Men the Soviet Military Documented for 50 Years Across 17 Million Square Kilometers?

In 1850, hunters in the Caucasus Mountains caught something they couldn’t explain.
She wasn’t an animal… she walked upright, had human eyes, hands that could grip and manipulate objects. But she wasn’t quite human either. She stood six feet tall, covered head to toe in dark reddish-brown hair. She couldn’t speak. Not Russian, not Georgian, not any language anyone recognized. Just grunts and sounds that seemed like they wanted to be words but couldn’t quite form.
They called her Zana.
A local nobleman bought her from the hunters. He tried to keep her in the servants’ quarters, but on the third night she ripped the door off its hinges with her bare hands. So they built a cage. Iron-reinforced. Half-buried in the ground like a root cellar.
She lived in that cage for three years.
Eventually, they let her out during the day to work the fields. She was strong… stronger than three men combined. Could carry loads that broke other laborers. Worked from dawn to dusk without tiring… learned to tolerate clothes, though she tore them off when no one was watching…. learned to eat cooked food, though she preferred it raw.
And then the village men started visiting her enclosure at night.
Zana had four children. All fathered by local men. The first two died in infancy… she tried to wash them in the freezing river, and they died of hypothermia. The villagers took the next two away at birth and raised them in the village.
Here’s the strange part: those children looked almost normal. Dark-skinned, unusual features, exceptionally strong… but they could speak… could learn. They grew up, married local people, and had children of their own.
Zana died around 1890. They buried her outside the cemetery walls in an unmarked grave. Her children were buried inside the cemetery when their time came. But not Zana. Whatever she was, she wasn’t human enough for consecrated ground.
For over a century, her story was just folklore. The wild woman of Abkhazia. Old people told it to children… each generation, the details got fuzzier.
Then in 2013, a British geneticist got curious.
He tracked down Zana’s descendants… her great-great-grandchildren, still living in the same mountain villages. He took DNA samples… ran tests in his lab at Oxford University.
The results didn’t make sense.
Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Three thousand miles from Africa. In the Caucasus Mountains… from a woman captured in 1850… decades before railways reached that region, decades before cars existed.
But that wasn’t the strange part.
The genetic markers were wrong. Not modern African DNA…. ancient. The kind of markers you find in fossil records, not in living people.
He called his colleague in Moscow. First words out of his mouth:Â “I think we found a ghost.”
Zana’s been dead for over 130 years. Her grave has been lost… overgrown, unmarked, forgotten. But her DNA lives on in her descendants. And it’s telling a story that science still can’t fully explain.
Was she a lost traveler from Africa who somehow ended up in the Russian mountains? A feral human who had lived wild for so long she had lost language? A member of an isolated population that survived in those forests for generations?
Or was she something else? A remnant of an archaic human species we thought went extinct thousands of years ago?
The DNA suggests all of these answers…. and none of them completely fit.
Zana wasn’t alone.
In 1941… fifty-one years after her death… a Soviet military officer was driving through the Pamir Mountains when he saw something standing by the roadside. Bipedal…. covered in dark hair. Approximately six feet tall. It looked at him… then it ran.
He filed an official report. It’s sitting in military archives right now.
Between 1957 and 1963, the Soviet government launched an official investigation. The Snowman Commission. They collected over 500 eyewitness reports from across the USSR. Shepherds, geologists, and military personnel. All describing the same thing:Â something human-like but not quite human, living in the remote mountains and forests.
The government shut down the investigation in 1963. Because it was too controversial and too weird for Cold War optics.
But the sightings didn’t stop… the reports kept coming. From the Caucasus, from the Pamir Mountains, from the Altai Range.
This is the untold story of Russia’s wildmen. And it starts with a woman who died in a cage, buried like an animal, carrying secrets in her blood that science is only beginning to understand.

Uh, okay, so back in the day there was a bit of an issue with the Orthodox Church. Peter the Great was trying to push some reforms through, and some of the peasantry were all ‘hell no’, and when they realized he might sicc the Streltsi on them, they decided ‘hey why don’t we go east, there’s a lot of land out there and no people’.
So they did that, the thing is, Siberia is /HUGE/ and the USSR used to sometimes run into groups out there which had been lurking in the Taiga since back then who had no idea the soviet union even existed, and were still fundamentalist Orthodox Christians.
They’re called “Old Believers”, and I don’t doubt at least some if not all of these ‘wild men’ were just that.

Apparently they sequenced her entire genome and she was 100% modern human. Just from some random isolated pocket, had been living feral/wild, most likely had mental issues, and possibly hypertrichosis (the werewolf disease).

My mother had a friend who decided to go on the Trans Siberian Express, just for fun. He said way out in the wilds the train would stop even if there was no station and people would come out of the woods wearing nothing but furs to trade with people on the train.

Or the woodwose or the Alma, the yeren. Bigfoot is global common knowledge and I’m convinced there’s strange hominids out there. Same way we’ve learned to survive in a society, they adapted to their way. Massive underground caverns could be hiding their true homes and the ones we see up here are the hobos and vagrants, scavenging. Governments help cover it up with national parks being high traffic areas for these underground caverns.

The fact that nobody wants to question accepted narratives & those considered “authorities”… not familiar with this specific case, but i always follow the indigenous history. The tribes up near the Pole, Alaska,Siberia all say that we are wrong about the wooly mammoth being extinct. They claim they come from the lands near the N. Pole. Bigfoot & Yeti sightings always correspond to energy vortexes where the veil between worlds ” flaps like a sheet in the wind”. The Kong films do a great job of capturing this, exotic supposedly extinct animals living inside the Earth.
Early 1900s, the Smithsonian displayed mukluki moccasins from mammoth hunts. You can find older Articles detailing ‘elites’ hunting this area for exotic animals. Remember Adm Byrds claim that he saw one during his flight?
We have A prejudiced interpretation of the hairy and fatty nature of the creature, and a belief in unchanging climatic conditions led scientists to deem the woolly mammoth a creature of cold areas of our planet. furry animals don’t live in cold climates…
Mammoth hair is dense, an fuzzy around the toes snow would get caked up on their feet an bring their body temp down. No sebaceous glands.
The North pole was 6-7 land masses, 2 became north Canada, another Greenland(Nunavut) & Siberia(Chukutka). Siberia is the ancient biblical Gog & Magog. Funny both broken off landmasses are politically autonomous entities.[tropical Alaska](https://www.ufofeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/5o558urg5b5f1.jpg) …
The woolly mammoth wasnt thought to be an arctic animal in the 1800s,
“It appears to me impossible to find, in the anatomical examination of the skin and [hair], any argument in favor of adaptation to the cold.”
