Some people living in Moscow may even not know how different it is, but it’s real and it’s there.
On this photo just a small example of what happens in rural parts of Russia. Many villages are left by young people who move to cities in a search of jobs and entertainment, some villages are populated with old people.
Here is the glimpse of funeral – an old lady goes on some sort of wooden raft together with a coffin towed by a tractor, though there are some kids so not every young pair moved away from this village.
