Taiga Dead End: The Story of the Lykov Family of Old Believers
4.99 €
Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov (1930–2013) was a journalist, photographer, traveler, and host of one of the most beloved programs on Soviet television, “In the World of Animals.” His essays on the nature of his native country won him the love of millions of readers. V. M. Peskov’s travel notes and reports are characterized by a touching poeticization of the surrounding space, be it village or taiga life, the life of forest dwellers, or the icy expanses of the Arctic.

When geologists accidentally discovered the Lykovs’ hermit homestead on the Abakan River in 1978, Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov was the first reporter to cover this story, and since then he has not left the taiga “Robinsons” without his attention, becoming a chronicler of the family. His essays caused a huge resonance in the Soviet press and brought the author worldwide fame. The amazing story of the Old Believers Lykovs and their youngest daughter Agafya became a unique document of the era, which revealed a huge layer of the country's folk history.
