— Small, ancient, and incredibly cozy — Oshevensk. Fading old Russia amid breathtaking northern nature! Oshevensk isn’t just a single point on the map — it’s a cluster of villages: Bolshoy Khaluy,Shiryayikha, and Niz. Every log house here is gigantic, more like a fortress than a home. They were built so that an entire ecosystem could live under one roof — including livestock. These massive houses are believed to be the result of the absence of serfdom in the North. When peasants earned money, they didn’t have to be modest. Lately, Oshevensk has been attracting artists, architects, and designers who are restoring the old houses. This is a wonderful trend — and one we wholeheartedly support! Photo: @remote_russia 📍Coordinates: Yandex Maps #ArkhangelskRegion 🏙️Beyond Moscow🏔️
