From Bigfoot Times, July 2011
Hancock House Publishers at 1431 Harrison Avenue, Blaine, Washington 98230 has released 'Bigfoot Research: The Russion Vision' by Dmitri Bayanov, one of the greatest veterans of 'hominology,' the study of living non-sapiens hominids whose existence is denied by orthodox scientists. At 431 pages, there is plenty to offer in this tome, both in scholarship [and] drawings and pictures.
Section five of this work is 'The Struggle for the 1967 Bigfoot Documentary,' (the P-G film), always a favorite of many. The book also has an index and substantial references. Cost is a fair $29.95.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This would be a great edition to anyones para-library.
This is a volume of 404 pages, presenting a collection of his writings on this subject from 1976 to the present, illustrated with 24 color photographs and several scores in black & white. It's the largest book in English devoted to bigfoot research by Russian hominologists over the past decades.
The term hominology to denote the study of living non-sapiens hominids was coined by the author in the 1970s. Another handy working term coined by him is homin, which embraces all wild hairy bipeds, such as Bigfoot, Almas, Almasty, Yeren, Yowie, etc. Accordingly, as far as habitats are concerned, the book deals with homins in Europe, Russian, China, North America, and Australia. In temporal terms, it traces the theme from antiquity to the present time, offering a fine collection of homin images in ancient and medieval art.
Bayanov tells how he became engaged in bigfoot research and what makes him carry on. He predicts strong impact of hominology on the development of science and philosophy. Many pages and photos are devoted to contacts and cooperation with Russian counterparts in North America, especially with outstanding BF contactees and investigators, such as Janice Carter, who, with Mary Green, authored the ground-breaking '50 Years with Bigfoot.'
All in all, this volume is a virtual textbook on the subject. Having read it, the reader is sure to become a knowledgeable student of hominology, a discipline both fascinating and educational...
The book contains over 400 pages all in English with about sixty black and white photographs and sixteen pages of full color photographs. The cover is in full color. The book is complied with Chris Murphy and Edited by Roger Knights. Hurry while supplies last and order your copy today.

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!!!!!!

Surprise!
I didn't know this book was in the works so finding it in my postal box
this morning was a pleasant surprise.
It is another publication beautifully presented and authored by Dmitri
Bayanov titled Bigfoot Research, The Russian Vision. It is 431 pages
of research in review from Bayanov's perspective compiled by Chris
Murphy and edited by Roger Knights. $29.95.... ISBN 978-0-88839-706-5
Many of Bayanov's references are to things past with important corrections,
notations and correspondence between him and others, some of them no
longer with us but their contributions remembered and well measured in
this book. The book contains a large section of color photographs along with
ancient and medieval artwork and a fine collection of historical and modern data.
Many of the personal photos were new to me and nice to see. Dmitri provides
excellent content and his index is well detailed.
I haven't had time to truly absorb its entire content just yet but was
stopped dead in my tracks by what is already my favorite passage on
pages 275-6 where he touches on The Ape Misnomer. Hooray!!
I loved it and the neither-nor reference to the Sasquatch, Dmitri and
of course the honesty the first glances brought forth....especially the
memories of the '70's - :)
This book promises to be hugely popular among the truly serious long
term researchers in this field - especially those who know the history
and remembed the gist of past discussions, past debates.
It looks to be an exciting read, can't wait to get into it deeper & finish it tonight -
...thank you Dmitri, well done my friend.
