Have you heard about such a language as Church Slavonic? Agafia Lykova was taught to read books in this language by her parents, hermit Old Believers. In the 1930s, the Lykovs fled from Soviet pressure to the taiga. In 1978, geologists accidentally discovered the family in Siberia. According to their recollections, the hermits dressed in homespun clothes, used primitive tools, did not recognise any blessings of civilisation, and prayed all the time. When RT Documentary met the recluse in 2014, she desperately needed an assistant. So, on the Day of Slavic Literature, we upload a video where Agafia writes to other Old Believers and asks for help. After filming, a lot has changed: a new hut with a solar panel appeared in the yard and new helpers joined the family. One of the last is Father Georgy from Orenburg. He helped Agafia manage the house this winter. #humanstories#culture Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
