Russian geoglyph, Ancient elk geoglyph in Zyuratkul Mountains, Russia

The Russian geoglyph is a stone outline of an elk on the slopes of the Zyuratkul Mountains, measuring 218 by 195 metres with a diagonal of 275 metres. Builders removed turf in strips up to 10 metres wide and laid large stones at the borders with smaller stones and clay in the centre. The outline shows four legs, two antlers and a long snout.

Alexander Shestakov spotted the outline on satellite images in spring 2011, after noticing uneven grass growth along a trail. Stanislav Grigoriev's expedition surveyed it by plane and paraglider and dug three trenches between 2011 and 2013. Radiocarbon dating of humus beneath the stones gave 3655–3515 BCE, but in 2013 pupils of a Satka sports school said the lines were their 2003–2010 ski training course.

The outline is read as an elk or moose, and researchers link it to the megalithic culture that also built the stone structures on Vera Island. Grigoriev argued the figure faced the Zyuratkul ridge so it could be viewed from above, giving it a sacred role for its builders.

Stone walls and passages show that the structure was built in trenches dug 30 to 40 centimeters deep. Access requires hiking ability since the site sits on elevated terrain and becomes difficult to reach in poor weather.

Around 40 stone tools resembling pickaxes were found at the site, showing that ancient workers used primitive but effective techniques. These tools suggest the builders worked as an organized group planning across multiple seasons.
