So guys, Hello and this is the second part about our volunteer trip to Agafia Lykova. In the first part I showed our way we have come from Moscow to get to these places, and in this part I will tell you about how she met us, about the help in the form of work and try to briefly describe her living conditions.
According to the comments to the previous series, I realized that many believe that Agafia is not really waiting for us and will not happy we're here.. And to dispel these statements I will say for a start that it was the sixth trip to her from our University. Unfortunately it was my first trip and I did not know about such opportunities

For Agafia our arrival is a joyful event, she meets everyone with a smile on her face. From Tashtagol with us by helicopter sent the necessary things, such as candles, some food. But the greatest value for her are Church books. She sent a letter to our University, which was a request that we need to brought this huge book. After handing her this book, she studied it for an hour and a half, and even read us her excerpts. Also, together with us send feed for her goats.
Now let's move directly to our work, which we performed. First of all, she asked us to get all her potatoes from the cellar and take away bad potatoes. Since there were many of us, we managed this work in almost an hour. She herself would have spent at least a whole day working on it.
Agafia's work was for every taste and color. The girls doing hay, namely they cut grass hung it out to dry on a makeshift rack under the dry trees. After the hay is ready, they fold it. The male part of the group was first sent to replenish the firewood. Agafia burns quite a lot of wood during the winter. In the summer for the furnace , she uses 3 large logs, in the winter they spend about 8-10. If we translate to a more understandable measure, in winter Agafia burns whole stump per day on average. Our task was to give her five good stocks of firewood
Since we were enough people, we managed with this work for a couple of days without much fatigue. worked on waiting lists, while two people are chopping the firewood, others collect ready firewood,. With the weather we are obviously lucky in the early days. The weather was the best for the job. There was not a strong sun and working was quite fresh. Agafia at the same time was doing her work and periodically managed us and speaks how should be better. Agafia gets fish from the nets. In Erinat she has a fishing net which goes grayling, a pretty good size for the local rivers. Grams of 300-400 grayling can be caught.During lunch and afternoon rest, Agafia often comes to us to communicate with us and share their stories of life.. She eats separately from us. She's not supposed to eat our food. Usually she eats alone, twice a day. A couple of times she treated us to her homemade bread which is baked in the Russian oven
instead of yeast she uses her leaven. This leaven she has constantly, it only takes the necessary amount of bread and make a new leaven. The bread is baked really delicious and hearty. If you compare with the usual urban bread, its bread is more dense and with a crispy crust, but inside it is much softer and more pleasant to taste.
Let me show you how Agatha lives now. In summer, Agafia lives in a small shed, which is located in the garden. At first I will cant say that there can be sleep. Everywhere scattered bags and rags. And in this shed and sleep Agafia until the outdoors becomes too cold and only then she will sleep in the house. In her house unfortunately could not go without her permission to go there not worth it, but ask for it not very desirable. But was able to see what is inside through the window. in the window you can see only the old loom and a large number of books, more of the darkness and dust could not be seen.

Next to her House is another, at the entrance of which hang two handwritten papers. Those who are interested in what is written on them, you can press pause and try to read. This house looks more solid inside. Everything is still cleaned up last year and inside is quite clean. In this house slept a group of men who didn't want to sleep in tents. If necessary, we could make a stove here and dry clothes.
