If you are just passing this village in transport, you can notice nothing extraordinary, but if you take a closer look, you’ll never want to go away. The nature is wonderful there. Clean air, which every citizen dreams about, and the mountains and the forest in the background of the blue almost transparent sky, seem to be fabulous. There are a lotof lakes, where you can fish, go boating or just swim. There are a lot of mushrooms and berries in the forests. Walking along the paths, you can collect a bunch of flowers or just watch and take picture of other ones, which are in The Red Book. Children like to get together and go to the nearest creek to swim in a hot day, and there you can dissolve a fire and bake the potatoes with bacon. And in winter, they build a snow fortress, or take a big horse sleigh; the whole crowds drag them up to the hill and then laugh and go down through the village...
I love the village. Everyone knows you, your parents and grandparents. It seems the village to be a big family... I like "Molodetskie games" most of all. They are always held on Maslenitsa festival. Everybody in the village come to look at them. The teams arrive and the competitions in different kinds of sport take place. They pull rope, then lift weights, sing and dance ... It’s very funny! ... And then people burn a strawman and eat pancakes.
It is often said that a village inhabitant is different from a city man, and I do not deny it. People grown in village are much kinder and they like to communicate with other people. Just because they used to. I think it`s very good, because people are stronger together!
