Apart
from an atrocious mispronounciation of the name of the person they
are studying (Lee-kov, not Laik-ov) this is not a bad documentary
Surviving
in the Siberian Wilderness for 70 Years
In
1936, a family of Russian Old Believers journeyed deep into Siberia's
vast taiga to escape persecution and protect their way of life. The
Lykovs eventually settled in the Sayan Mountains, 160 miles from any
other sign of civilization. In 1944, Agafia Lykov was born into this
wilderness. Today, she is the last surviving Lykov, remaining
steadfast in her seclusion. In this episode of Far Out, the VICE crew
travels to Agafia to learn about her taiga lifestyle and the
encroaching influence of the outside world
