So, the Russian village.
It is very different from any city.
First, there are no multi-storey large houses.
Every inhabitant of the village there is a small house
and the land on which they grow food:
vegetables, fruits, etc.
And the Russian villages, I think, are very different from the villages,
for example, in the US or in Britain, because in the first place
they are based on rural economy.
People in the villages are very rare work.
Most often they do not work generally, or they have
some ... as part-time, yes ... this is such a part-time job.
They may take several hours work in a shop, in a library
or somewhere else (in any local organization).
But still the main accent goes to agriculture.
That is, all products that they eat, they grow
themselves.
But let's start in order.
I will tell you an individual facts about the Russian countryside.
And the first thing I'd like to know about say: not everywhere, but in most
Russian villages do not have water supply.
That is, there is not brought water, such as in the city,
when in every apartment we open the tap and we
the water flows.
In the villages usually such no.
Therefore, they use called wells.
Well can be two species.
I will leave here two pictures: the first calls the Crane,
because he looks like a bird crane that is worth
on one leg, and the second - The standard.
In both cases we use bucket for lifting
water from a well.
Water in wells is usually very good and clean,
because it comes there from underground groundwater
water.
And usually, if with nature everything is fine around here, this water
much better than water in the city.
Also in the villages very often there is no gas.
That is, again, if in city we (open) include
plate, and we have gas, then in the village (not everywhere!
- again), but in many the villages simply do not.
Because the gas needs to be pulled from the city, it's pretty worth it
expensive, and unfortunately not everywhere such is present.
That's why so many people cooked in conventional ovens.
Russian stove (stove).
This stove is heated with firewood and the dishes are prepared straight
inside of it.
Here you can see, what a Russian stove looks like.
You can also sleep on it in winter, that it was warm.
In addition, this furnace is used for heating the house in winter.
Because the central heating, of course, in
the village also does not.
And every person should to stove the stove all winter long with firewood
or coal to constantly keep the house warm.
Facilities such as shower and the toilet is also usually located
on the street.
And even in winter people are forced to go outside to
go to the toilet.
Well, unfortunately, such conditions...
Although some make a shower and the toilet is at home.
You ask how in this case people wash themselves in winter,
if the shower is outside, then -20 hardly anyone will go there
bathe.
Yes, and the water there for sure will turn into ice.
In that case, I think, that most have
Large basins or some kind of troughs in which people wash themselves
with the help of a heated oven water.
And many people in the village there is a separate summer kitchen.
This is the kitchen, which is usually not heated in winter,
but in the summer when on the street warm, in the kitchen is also warm,
and people usually go out to cook all in the summer kitchen.
Especially it concerns conservation.
After all, people in the villages always canned vegetables and fruits
for the winter, then it was what is.
This process is very lengthy, it takes up a lot of space,
it can be a bit dirty, and also, usually in the process
conservation, we get a lot of steam, because
that everything is boiling, bubbling, so much easier to do
it's not in the house, but in the summer kitchen.
To a minimum of dampness and smells was in the very
house.
Houses are prepared only in winter, when the summer kitchen is too
cold for this.
Now let's talk about how it looks like
yard (maybe not any, but most of the yards)
in the Russian countryside.
Of course there is a house in which people live, have a summer
kitchen, as I said, in most cases, toilet, shower, also
there is a courtyard.
In the farmyard there live Pets.
It can be cows, bulls, Goats, ducks, geese, chickens, there
can live even a dog and a cat, turkeys ... who else
it can be? .. Well, in principle, any pets,
which can be grown owners.
For example, rabbits also belong here.
Usually they are all collected in one place, which is called
economic yard, or sometimes "barnyard", because
that cattle are just domestic animals.
Next comes such a part territory, which is called
GARDEN, A vegetable garden is a place, where vegetables are grown
and, possibly, some berries, for example, strawberries.
And the last part of the yard called GARDEN, in the garden grow
fruit trees.
Usually garden and garden look a little differently, because
that in the garden we grow vegetables, and in the garden we have big
trees (fruit trees).
I hope now this the difference will be remembered - between
garden and kitchen garden.
How does it usually go the life of people in such a village?
In winter people rest.
In the village there is practically nothing doing winter.
Because of some entertaining establishments there practically
no.
And the main job is done summer, spring and autumn,
but not in the winter.
Therefore, in winter people usually rest, read, watch
TV, in general, are being prepared to a new season (agricultural
season).
In the spring people dig through a garden to make the land
soft, loose, so that it "breathed", then planted seedlings,
plant different vegetables and seeds, water them and after that
grow these vegetables.
During the whole summer they follow them.
Almost every day they need to be weeded, then
there is a clean up extra grass, water in the morning and
in the evening, because summer Usually we have a very
and the rains are not as often as I'd like
would.
Although it depends on the region, of course.
And collect these vegetables to partially eat them, and partly
they can be preserved winter.
In the spring, some people also use greenhouses to
grow these plants: vegetables and greens as possible
earlier, and already in the spring they have Have an opportunity
have these vegetables.
Not in the summer, but in the spring.
During the whole summer there is a also active work with
animals, because it is In the spring there are chickens,
goslings, ducklings, even calves.
And naturally during all summer cow also
Gives milk.
A cow needs to be milked about two to three times as much as
I know, I do not remember exactly.
That is, two to three times a day usually the first time a cow
need to milk very early in the morning, about five o'clock
morning.
I remember when I was in the village my aunt did it regularly
and I was surprised, how in general you can wake up so early.
It also takes care of all animals during the summer
and in the autumn the harvest is going to, again the earth is being dug up
and most animals, also cut.
THAT are those animals that were grown over the summer they
go to food, right?
And just in the autumn this process happens, someone does
stew, someone is selling meat, someone salt it well
there are absolutely possible different options, who like
uses this meat in the end.
Like I said most people do not work, however
It is impossible to survive only due to products and animals,
which you have, so part of these products usually
people sell to get money for everything else
- some other purchases, not related to food.
One of the most likely popular businesses in the countryside
is an apiary.
An apiary is a territory on which are the hives in which
live bees that produce honey.
And honey is usually the most expensive agricultural
product, that is, people, who are engaged in apiary
usually this honey is sold and it brings the biggest
profit.
Because, for example, milk, dairy products, vegetables
or even meat bring not so good profit
as honey, so in the villages a lot of beekeepers,
that is, people who are engaged in bees.
And this is a very interesting process, My uncle the beekeeper and I in
childhood even looked in the beehive in this special
cap that closes face from bees and it's stunning
experience, it's very interesting and very unusual.
To a cow that is the wether of the family in the village
had a good winter people during the summer mow
hay, that is mow the grass, dry it and during the winter
this hay people feed cow.
Therefore very often if you come to the village
you can see such large sheaves of hay and straw, which
stalk for animals that they could lie on it
during the winter and not freeze.
Generally speaking, the Russians villages look very
beautiful, really very romantically for nothing
many Russian writers and the poets sang Russian
the village.
For example, Sergei Yesenin very fond of the Russian countryside,
because from the outside it is really looks
very nice: small colorful houses, animals,
sheaves of hay near some bright field of wheat or
buckwheat, or something else.
Really from the side it all looks amazing
and if you like extreme rest or even not extreme,
but an unusual rest then you you can visit to
to see with my own eyes all this, but live in Russian
the villages are very difficult now.
Because the conditions in which people live hard to name
modern and natural people's lives in the countryside are very
heavy, they are very much work and, basically,
It is a physical work that harms health,
Often.
There is practically no infrastructure, that is
people can not actually normally rest there,
and they can not be enough earn well, because
that the products that they produce, it costs
very cheap.
Of course there are exceptions, there are large farm
farms, that is farmers, who have
The technique for which this is it is business, and they grow
a huge number of vegetables, meat and so on and sell
him under contracts with some serious supermarkets,
markets and so on and earn on this, well, more, enough
for existence and development this business.
But ordinary people sell all these products are really
for a penny, that is very cheap.
And to name their standard of living high, it would be stupidity
because in fact, Unfortunately, it is not.
I very much hope that in the future villages can still
develop and become better for local residents,
but so far there is a tendency to the reduction of villages,
their number and number population in the villages, because
that young people in the main they leave for the city.
Because there are more opportunities.
I hope this trend time will change and all
change for the better let's be optimistic.
Fuh, well, for today I think that's all, I hope it was
interesting.

villages write in the comments to this video I'm happy to
