I was born in Sankt-Pererburg, now I live in Moscow. Began to shoot about 5 years ago. In total made 7 stories which aren't a shame for publishing.

Great story from Olga Kuznetsova. Edge of the world is really close.

Wow, I envy her self-sufficiency and contentment. I hope someone writes her stories down (the aunt who spent years in jail for giving eggs to soldiers so her mother would not be punished!)

You can google "russian oven/stove" for more pictures. There are lots of different kinds, some are just made for cooking and heating the house, others can also have sleeping places right on them.

I would never guess that you weren't an adult. I wish I was so well spoken and thoughtful back then, kudos to you!

And here I figured Russians were so cold and distant, yet this lady is as warm and friendly as they come. May we all be as well as she is at 70! *does a vague religious motion* But..Does anyone know what a Russian stove is? It just looks like a hole in the wall..

Unfortunately this is the reality we have to face nowadays. Many villages around the country are slowly dissapearing, cause younger people are moving to cities where there are more opportunaties for them, while the old willingly prefer to stay behind. She`s very lucky she has some family and kind neighbours who can help her if needed, cause many elderly people who live in remote villages have to fully rely on themselves.

Reminds me a little of my late grandmother <3 She lived alone too. The interior of the house and the determination, the spirit were similar. She kept animals (pigs, chickens,...) and farmed her own fruit and vegetables. She didn't watch TV, didn't want to and she had often guests although no one lived really near her (in the countryside after war many of the houses around hers either weren't renovated and were left torn or the owners only occasionally visited during summer and never fully moved back). She was very self sufficient and refused to move out again (after moving back after war) even years after her husband died and as her health problems got worse and her daughter begged her to move to her (where healthcare is better and help closer and quicker) and was ready to organize the move and everything else; it was her home and she stayed until the end (well, until she ended up in hospital where she died but she didn't suffer too long in the hospital). I still miss her

I can't even handle all that work at 14, and she can do it at 70? How?? What a wonderful, self-sufficient woman. Kudos to her.

About the stove. The stove made of a brick. Stove is to big. there is a place where it is possible to sleep 2 persons on the stove. The stove is heated once a day. It will be warm in the house all day even in a frost is hard.
