Yazula (Russian: Язула; Altay: Jазулу, Ĵazulu) is a rural locality (a selo) in Ulagansky District, the Altai Republic, Russia. The population was 247 as of 2016.[2] There are 4 streets.
The villagers of Yazula allegedly exhibit extraordinary sight, which they claim comes as a gift from a creature called Almasti. Scientists considered it either a positive mutation caused by isolation in the mountains, or effect of radiation from falling Baikonur Cosmodrome space junk, which also allegedly once killed a cow. Some Yazulan villagers also used Baikonur wrecks to create outhouses.[3] However, very little information about this phenomenon is documented.
