The name of this place is no secret just is of no much importance. It can be any settlement in the north or Far East of Russia... Shabby walls, line dry outside, flowers in colorful tires, dirty Toyotas, timatable in an airport saying "it will arrive if the weather is good", attempts to reach civilization by all-terrain vehicles (if only we could find roads!), cow-parsnip 3 meters high, fishing that feeds 99% of local
