The Lykov family, Old Believers, fled Soviet persecution in the 1930s into Siberia's taiga. They lived isolated for over forty years, surviving through hunting, fishing, and farming potatoes, making do with homemade tools. They preserved their faith and culture, using ancient texts for education.
In 1978, geologists discovered them, introducing them to a world they knew nothing about, including World War II. The family faced health issues post-contact, with only Agafia remaining by 1988. She continued the traditional lifestyle, slightly adapted with modern conveniences. They weren’t discovered until 1978.
