The desolation of villages is a tragic process. Another hundred years ago 85% of the population of Russia were peasants. Half a century ago in the Tomsk region there were more than 15 thousand villages. There's 600 left now. In the Kostroma region, a third of settlements have already become almost extinct, and another third with a population of up to 10 people. Experts say that all the villages of the Non-Black Earth, which now live less than 50 people, will disappear in 15 years. The film by Nikita Mikhalkov will tell about the “ascetics” who, no matter what, remain in the village, continue to work on the land and raise agriculture. close

Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic...till now. close
