Agafia Lykova might be one of the most famous women in Russia. The world has changed many times over in her time, but life in the Siberian taiga hasn’t changed in 77 years. This documentary about Agafia was filmed eight years ago, but it’s still relevant. Agafia Lykova, 77, is the sole remaining member of her family, which fled religious persecution during Soviet days. She lives apart from society, reads the Bible, and speaks old Slavonic. Although she rejects modern technology, last year she accepted a solar panel to power a satellite phone so she can call for help in case of emergency. Hear Agafia’s incredible story of unshakable faith and resilience (it takes guts to live alone in the land of bears and wolves) in the documentary, Agafia, on Documentary Planet @documentaryplanet Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
