Russia - Rural life in Russia

(23 Oct 1996) T/I: 10:39:48
While Moscow and the rest of the world were riveted by the recent struggle for power in the Kremlin, the rest of Russia went about its daily routine, largely oblivous to the capital's intrigue.
In the village of Boyarki, nearly 100km to the east of Moscow mostly they worry about where they will get their next meal. With the collapse of the collective farm system, the populations of villages have had to return to a medieval system of self-supply, or hunting and gathering.
Most of their food is grown in the backyard or in kitchen gardens. Almost 70% of the residents have moved elsewhere, to bigger towns or the capital, leaving the elderly behind.

lovely innocent farmers living peaceful lives, far from all, everyone and everything. Whose only worries are the crops and the weather. God bless.

[@mariajanetrosellosa6499]

I love the life of rural areas simply and relaxing is not pressured.

[@АлексейХилков-и8п]

During the Soviet era, food products were produced in collective farms. And now they're broke. Wheat and rye are now produced in large farms-agricultural corporations. Also in large capitalist farms produce cows, sheep and chickens-in Orel, Belgorod, Rostov and other regions. But this village-has not found its place in the market. Capital did not come there. People there live only economy from the kitchen garden. Therefore, the young people went to the city. Stayed in the village one elderly. In Russia, such a village is called-dying. Soon these villages will not.

[@ammm-wq2mz]

This is the 90th years. The most difficult time since the collapse of the USSR. The ruin. The villages were dying. Most of the food was purchased abroad.
