[@michaelgontaszewski6934]

Amazing person. I came across the guy once while walking around Lake Baikal in 2013. Anatoliy was his name and I have spent a night in his house, similar to the one in the video. Anatoliy lives in the most remote part of the lakeshore, it took me around 2 months to reach that place. At that point, he lived there for 52 years already, rarely meeting with other people, unless a boat with tourists came around. Anatoliy has frostbites on all his fingers which are almost completely gone. The area contains one of the biggest populations of brown bears and every night they come around the house, not to damage or look for food. I think they just come to wind him up as he is a part of nature there. There were claw marks all over the house but no damage. At night there was a lot of growling around. Very simple person and very friendly. He told me the story about himself and how he ended up there. As a young man (20 YO) he was already an alcoholic and during the winter in Listvianka, he and his mate went drunk outside. His friend died that night frozen to death and Anatoliy was found almost frozen, lost all his fingers and almost his arm. He decided to leave the world of people and move to the wild, where he remains until today I hope. I was given very useful tips on how to predict the rain according to how ants behave, how to avoid bears, and what to forage. Also warned me of the poachers which I encountered later during my trip. I would love to go back there and learn more from him. Such a simple yet very wise person.

This as a russian bedtime-story. A long time ago, a Russian child lived in poverty with his family. His entire family died and he moved to the forest to live in isolation.

He patiently awaited the day when he would die and see his family again. The end. Kinda feels bitter sweet. Strange how it feels like we all have more stuff but so little from life.

Beautifully filmed, brought tears to my eyes when he began to sing about his mother. I hope he continues to live a happy and healthy life.. and if there’s anyway to get him a proper window I would love to donate!!!

Wish that he can have a proper glass window beside the female partner. And yes, I would love to donate too 😊

[@shoeexpress3601]

What's his source of income ??

[@nonnynu]

Sounds like a modern day Richard Proenekke. I see a lot of people here saying that this man needs this and this man needs that. I think he’s doing just fine. We shouldn’t project what would make us comfortable onto this man. He obviously does not value the same things. I think he values solitude and self-reliance and a connection to nature. Maybe listen to the song that he sings at the end.

[@donnaberube5480]

Right!

[@kathym5307]

Amazing man. How wonderful that people thought to bring him gifts.

[@andrewparkinson7760]

My goodness this guy has such willpower and inner strength to live on the edge of what is humanly possible. He has such a tough life, with no luxuries and has to work so hard for every crumb of food or drop of drink. It is inspiring and it was touching to see the cameramen give him a few very valuable resources. Wonderful heartwarming story and make you realise how lucky most of us are,and makes you appreciate this more and not take it for granted. Major respect and love to him! Andy

@@austindenotter19 What do you mean he’s not working hard if you put it in perspective? He built his entire house, acquires all his food himself (or worst case goes 5 HOURS to a village), retrieves his own water, gets wood everyday to heat his home, all while living in extremely cold temperatures and around dangerous animals like bears. He is most definitely a hard working and strong willed man.

@@GameChanger597 Bro work animals arent fat tubs of lard like you have in your house or see on tv. Not every animal is a pet. Humans and animals have worked together for thousands of years. How the hell do you think we domesticated wolves in the first place. They worked for us and we fed them. Those dogs are fine.

[@9001Squid]

Nah. This is sad. He will live and die alone, spend his whole life surviving. He should have a family, a tribe, a community.

[@Yezir760]

Man was not made to be alone that is why God created woman.

[@9001Squid]

@@freezinboxing I just said his journey has importance to his soul. Or did you just react instantly to something you didn’t read from me? I’d hope if I died and my children were somehow alone, that somebody would give my children grace, protection and community. I hope they won’t be lonely and just in survival mode for the rest of their lives… and if they were, I’d hope somebody wouldn’t idolise their suffering and loneliness. I’d hope nobody sees their survival as being “satisfied”.

Agree. Some ppl are still connected to the old ways. Why ppl want to think of Russians anywhere in that amazing land as enemies shows how quickly the tech society & cut & paste corporate media can be used to program ppl who feel superior to the kind soul in this video. We’re all human beings but our idiocracy culture is stripping humanity away from the ignorant at an alarming rate.

[@highlands3769]

Samuil said at 9:57 "if I had a proper window it wouldn't be so cold inside the house". With nearly 1,000,000 subscribers and income from this channel, that should surely be enough to pay for and install a window. Many people would also donate to a gofundme for this individual. Can you please post an update video. I would love to see that Samuil's life is less harsh.
