Family isolated in Russian taiga for 40 years

[jesterjoker]

A Russian family who fled from totalitarian persecution in the 1930s remained in the taiga for 40 years, 150 miles away from any human contact. A group of geologists discovered them by chance in 1978, a family of five at that time. They lived an incredibly harsh, challenging life that is hard to comprehend much less describe, and one of the daughters is still alive right now. I am boggled.
