This is one of the most heart warming, soul clenching videos I've ever watched. It haunts and grips my heart to see these folks in the middle of nowhere, who seem to be lacking in so many fundamental ways, yet they are so grateful... they live their lives with an impoverished but calm resilience. And when they see you, they are so warm and grateful. It really is a lesson in humanity to see these people, that against all odds, cling fiercely to their way of life.

You’re a middle aged man visiting people so many have forgotten or turned away from, bringing them food and drinks and money and better still, company. Coming back after a year to visit. You’re doing amazing things with your life my friend. I have so much respect for you. On a less serious note, you also taught yourself Russian. As someone doing the same (my fiancé was born in Izhevsk) that alone is a feat!

When I saw that 73 old man shaking because of his illness I thought of my parents who are in their early 60s and I left them alone somewhere in eastern Europe. I pray God give me the opportunity to return one day and take care of them.

[@lwashere228]

The “Shaking” that Kolya experienced (in other videos as well) is a strong withdrawal symptom of alcohol abuse. In the other Video where he visited Kolya again and brought him vodka the shivers stopped as soon as he took a sip. You can observe this a few moments later as well while they are sitting in his house. But aside from all of that, have you heard he has people that care for him now? :)

I'm an Aussie who grew up in Australia in the 60's and we had an old Polish woman who lived up our street. As kids we would visit her and she'd always give us her home made cakes while sitting at her kitchen table. She was very old, all alone and couldn't speak English.
