Abandoned Russian village where my father was born
The village of Egoshino is a typical Russian village in the center of the European part of Russia. Before the revolution, it was part of the Vyatka province. Until 1987, Vyatka Province was the second most populated province of the Russian Empire, second only to the Kyiv Province.
After the revolution, the village of Egoshino became part of the newly formed region - the Mari ASSR (now the Republic of Mari El).
Life in the village of Egoshino, as in most of the surrounding villages, began to fade away even in Soviet times. Young people went to study in the cities and never returned. Among these young people was my father.
The collapse of the Soviet Union was fatal for all the surrounding villages. Collective farms began to die, and people began to move to larger settlements.
For the first time, my father showed me and my brother the place where he was born in 1998. At that time, people lived only in four houses, the rest of the houses were abandoned. At the end of the 90s, we were children and did not fully realize what had happened. My brother and I did not understand how my father and grandfather felt when they walked through the overgrown streets of the village between abandoned houses.
The second time we came to the village in 2009. At that time only one house remained inhabited, and the surrounding fields were already actively overgrown with forest.
In 2018, there was no one left in the village. All the houses are abandoned, and a forest appeared on the agricultural lands. We went into some houses and captured the latest testimonies of people's lives. Nature slowly but surely returns everything back.
During our trips, we also regularly visited the village of Bakhtino and holy water springs, as well as the village of Maskanur (rural administrative center). Now the process of depopulation has covered larger settlements. Now it is the turn of the rural administrative centers to return to nature everything that was taken from her earlier.
