but. there have been morning classes sent down. but this year we've been joined by children from believe yeah your. list trace the long journey that these students undertook to get to their new homeland. they came to create more year through moscow. but my only objection to my children going to the school because some of the school children. smoke. in fact they're raised more by the school than by their own parents. if we were to send our children to

that school the way we wouldn't last long. children he was born in latin america. he. leads the community because he is the. children should be educated. we always teach our children how to read. children of the. time of the. century children gather in the home of the teacher to learn. the

old language. the children. first. take a simple view. and to live in the countryside. they

have for the present system of schooling and instead. for the past three hundred years they have taken pains to protect their traditions by staying as distinct from the possible. impact of civilization throughout their history they have. in search of the most secluded retreats. family lives in a prefabricated apartment house which stands in the midst of a field. he has seven children. was the only community member to send his children to a state school and yes. they left there was a school. if you don't send your kids to school you're

welcome to go with us. we haven't reached an agreement. they left. i agree with you well there are so many people with education who live in russia and a lot of them well they don't even have jobs we have always trying to live and work in rural areas. and we would just as comfortable as those learned people. we never went hungry. come back to a nice. thing that should be around here somewhere. rocky soil makes a farming difficult income for. the no longer grows crops his cow helps his family make ends meet she is free to graze together with the cattle belonging to local people the trouble though is that she tends to street towards evening.

after coming. now that the community has left. the n.t. is toying with the idea of going to russia's western part he believes the soil there is suited for farming but due to the resettlement program he is forced to stay in the far east for another year. i invited my brother to join us we even set aside a farmstead for him anyway it's up to him to decide. vacant flats are all that is left of the community of come for. my we prayed in this flat. it's almost been emptied but there are a few things still that's why there's

a look on the door. this was my brother's it's. his family left before easter. can't tell you exactly how many people lived here eleven. son is still here in this block he is going to collect some of the belongings left behind i live here alone. i am planning to leave on friday evening because i don't like this place. is a better place. from the hustle and bustle few secular people live. you for them says he will not be missing his uncle too much.

he wanted to come here when he was in brazil so i bought tickets for his family but he now has me around twenty thousand dollars that's almost six hundred thousand rubles but when he did come here he began to look for excuses not to give the money back. to the n.t. and family appeared to be stuck in this five story building. coming in welcome. this is all flat. this is a bedroom. it is for the girls. one of them's older than the other.

and this is our bedroom. we sleep there and two little girls sleep here. the two boys are in another flat. we've packed up to go to the kaluga region but we still can't bring ourselves to leave this place. this is for a kitchen and my wife she's cooking. was in the. community scolded us for sending them to that school for a whole year. if we kept on living with them we have gone on suffering. a few heard by what only on has done. tours away from

a cosy nest and abandoned us. i can't bear it. there would be seven or eight children. they'll find work at a place to live with but all believers lead a normal life outside their community along with the family breaks away secular ways after sime but they'll no longer live in a way that befits all believers. only two options are open to the n.t. either he comes to terms with the community and pays his debt or waits for permission to go to rushes west.

russia has become this step mother land. to find a way home. if it. were all the way to the killian's and the merits of. it came all the way from europe why and bolivia i. know there are more than fifty such people in. their lives you can build houses. alexander was a one time head of the administration of one of the nearby villages now that he is retired he takes fishermen on guided tours of local forests in reverse he maintains good relations with the new russians living in neighboring villages. if i visit them often right now i'm bringing a doctor. a

doctor has arrived in there sue all believers take an ambivalent view of medicine if medics come to them then it's fine but if they go to a doctor themselves it's problematic. most diseases are treated with traditional methods like medicinal herbs. that he was a source of so we used to medical her. drink tea with them to dry her up so when terror as well as roots there are a lot of good herb standish so. the old believers do however allow some exceptions medication is allowed for severe pain while women go to hospital to give birth however there have been instances of expectant mothers escaping from hospital just before they were due to deliver but in general all believers have few health concerns. threatening examined your skin is clean how are your

legs. was this music let's listen to your heart. there is nothing to worry about. it's not scary. our children are not us health is theirs they are healthy from life in such an environmentally purer place. the only believe. after their arrival in russia but it felt too close to modern civilization. managed to find an uninhabited village in the country's far east rolling hills and a river separate the village from the rest of the world. communities a spiritual leader to years old talk about his family for hours on end. i have three daughters and. one daughter lives in australia another daughter and

two sons are in europe yet another daughter. i think i have fifty three grandchildren and twenty five great grandchildren i don't know the exact figure. a reform of liturgical practices in the seventeenth century triggered within the russian orthodox church. because they never accepted the new rules. were subjected to continuous persecution by church officials and. throughout those years old believers had to either hide or flee the country today there is no hostility but they still want to. believe as don't accept from lay people because they've been gussets for their they clean the whole fish themselves their plates and. different from those used by lay

people to. clean even their need to be clean of. their communities and worst fear is the prospect of mingling with modern civilization. to live eat or pray together with the lay people for example they can't buy meat sausages milk or bread from the shops whatever food is needed they make. the word it's used is the main ingredient of bread made in accordance with russian traditions. you add water and salt and mix the stuff with flour. that takes half an hour. then you leave the mixture to sour for about five hours. after that you bake it in a russian stove. which when we always do it this

way. is teaching the girls the art of making bread she came to do. in two thousand and eight although she is thirty eight years old she already has six grandchildren. so that i don't know exactly the secret of the russian stove but i do know that the bread baked in it tastes good we had a russian stove spec in europe why having a russian stove in the household was considered a must. feel younger daughter living together with her sons are still in my. life. to decide whether they want to come here. it's very beautiful here. we decided to stay and are not planning on moving anywhere.

when we came here an old woman by the name of all yama lived in this house she was an old believer. after she died one and a half years ago women have been to her house. and were happy to live here. ok now it's time to place the day in the stove the villages received a new lease of life with the arrival of believe. in the morning they go to church to pray. after that it's time to get down to work children are given an early introduction to adult life. to begin with when the boys are allowed to handle the simplest of jobs. married women here are obliged to cover their head. is split from her husband because she wears

a scarf none the less there has been no formal to force the people in it's not ready yet it has to be big for another fifteen minutes or so. when was. still going on with. my husband is about forty three years old now so. until once he went to brazil where he shaved off his beard. he said he had lost it because of stress. truly he was going crazy with the approach of old age but he had feeling towards the community he found everything about it and real grind. he's liked it into from gaza for. getting. old believer couples have difficulty getting divorced as a rule their wedlock is not officially registered. don't think that official papers

apply to them they can be divorced but only in the country where they got married. it takes forty minutes for dirt to bake and a russian stove that's the way we did it in brazil and uruguay this tradition is held up by recipe handed down from generation to generation i just i can't even remember how i learned the scale but that's how bread was made all over russia in the old days. the girls are doing embroidery not all of the patterns are traditional given that they spend most of their young lives in latin america some of the patterns that reflect on why in the motifs however most of them are based on russian folklore i have. these black tropical birds call to counseling even brazil. watching them fly is a sheer delight. they have very beautiful beaks to the trouble those dead they play dirty tricks by stealing people's fruit. but some traces of their

previous life in latin america can be found in the households of the old believers this colombian machete is made of very good steel you can see a dove pictured on it others bear pictures of monkeys such for saudis are no good at all. machete is the weapon of south american tribes they have no gums a native picks up a machete. is that here and goes. on you know what i call the machete especially came in handy when they were being deprived of their land they used it in a very effective way and rolling as they locked them off at their machetes takes the chickens head off and one go. closing sends a readily identifiable social signal to community members. they instantly know

who's who is the person is from their midst or an outsider. the length of their dresses trousers and shirt sleeves is strictly regimented they should cover most of the body facial hair is another sensitive point no all the believer is supposed to be beardless old believers consider that any deviation from canon is indicative of spiritual weakness they maintain that anyone's appearance should conform to god's instructions. for us milk is still warm try it. in actual fact however this rule doesn't cover those who are not members of the community alexander has allowed a family of young old believers to live in one of his two small houses in exchange for organic food. what you want to sunday's the old believe is stay at home.

anything even go fishing in the river because they don't want to kill fish or any other living creatures god. congratulations to everyone i wish you all good health and the spirit of god. in spite of various restrictions festive occasions and noisy merry making among the community is not affected hall is not frowned upon on such occasions but only if it's homemade and. you're already drinking it's not very strong it's only been brewing for two weeks. that overheard everybody. drink with us it's a holiday. as the villagers move from house to house the celebrations go until dusk but i know not that i.

know he's my son in law. and she is my daughter. three children two sons and one daughter three were born in russia she is a russian woman she's not a woman she's a girl should be a woman one day. as well as splits occur in the communities of old believers. some twenty years ago my mother fell in love with an argentinean needless to say no one in the community liked it my mother and my father then decided to leave that was a terrible sin they spent the whole in here outside the community my mother taught russian to my father and eventually converted him to our faith that shows it was all from her since my father's name was mario said a bottle now he's called moses. they don't keep up

with the times but that's the only way for them to preserve their way of life yet despite their conservative views they are in fact committed to freedom of choice. anyone is allowed to leave the community to join secular society and anyone can rejoin the community these people have voluntarily undertaken to live by their own rules. don't express disapproval of worldly life but they sincerely feel sorry for all those who don't style. settlers who came from bolivia and latin america. but decided to come back to russia traditional. in the russian federation to help us to put down roots here building. and if at all

possible we like to pass on a message to the president of the russian federation himself. we speak your language. for music programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles couldn't stories. you hear. see. all teach spanish find out more visit i. teach. wealthy british style. time to.
