Author and cryptozoologist Loren Coleman (www.lorencoleman.com) has expressed the opinion that this is NOT the paw/leg of a Yeti, but that of a bear, and I must agree.

Compare the photo in the story with that of a bear paw: http://www.mainebearhunts.com/images/2000%20bear%20hunt/bearpaw.jpg

It is unfortunate that serious researchers are often waylaid by media sensationalism seeking a story before it has attained legitimacy. Instances such as this serve to discredit both the Yeti phenomenon and Russian science.
