Kosmopoisk (Russian: «Космопо́иск», full name: Общеросси́йская нау́чно-иссле́довательская обще́ственная организа́ция, ОНИОО, translated "All-Russian Research Public Organization"), also known as Spacesearch, is a group with interests in ufology, cryptozoology, and other mystery investigations.
The organization was founded by Russian science-fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev, aerospace engineer Vadim Chernobrov, astronaut Georgy Beregovoy, and other enthusiasts, in order to explore the mysteries of the universe and nature, research new ways of space technology development, and work on breakthrough branches of science.
For instance, in 1999, the group made an expedition to the remote Labynkyr Lake in Yakutia, Sakha Republic, where an underwater monster, similar to Nessie, has been believed to exist since the 1960s.
Its objective was not only to search for the impact point, but also a way to involve a large number of people, mostly from educational institutions, in the public research process.
It is considered to be one of the most impressive anomalous zones in Russia, including multiple observations of "triangle UFOs", "crazy lightnings slope", mysterious tunnels, and a possible Lovondatr-7 time travel experiment.
The dwarf allegedly appeared in the town in the late 1990s but after it died, its corpse was retrieved by militsiya officers and then was stolen with present whereabouts unknown.
The expeditioners collected data, gathered evidence from witnesses, found a possible UFO landing site, and explored a deep Sugomak cave, where they suspect the dwarf beings might have lived.
