-Agafia has lived her entire life in the remote Taiga.
Aside from a handful of times going into the city, she's
never left.
She's survived alone and off the land with untarnished
optimism, and even taking care of another person in this
harshest of environments.
Despite the sporadic intrusion of the outside world in the
form of visitors, government, media, and falling rocket
debris, Agafia's daily life remains mostly unchanged.
Her continued existence proves that it's possible for humans
to live alone in environments as difficult as this.
There were once many old believers living in the
Siberian wilderness.
And as we flew over the vast empty Taiga, it was not hard
to imagine that somewhere there may well be more people
like Agafia.
