We arrived in Mesopotamia only at the very evening. Tent set already almost in the night. Having finished laying out things, we looked at the sky is starry and thought, and when we saw it at all in the last time, because in a big city you can see only the black abyss, yes reflections from the lanterns. And what a deafening silence around! Us Residents of the metropolis is difficult to imagine what could be so quiet.
The route of our trip and its concept can be seen here: We participate in the project “Russia for 365 days”

In the ecovillage near Mtsensk, everything is just beginning, therefore photos of people’s life and life is still too early. Just a couple of years ago, several young people decided that it was time to change something in his life, and engaged in the design of the land, which is still. Some of them are now rented an apartment in Mtsensk, someone goes here just for the weekend, someone has already started building a house and is hoping winter.

The basic idea is to live in your own land. closer to nature, lead a healthy lifestyle, breathe fresh air and drink clean water, grow your fruits and vegetables, and minimize the damage to the environment and form a new community of people with similar interests. To me I personally like this idea very much and I would also like my children grew up in a healthy society with normal life values.

I am glad that in spite of what is happening in Russia and the obstacles in the design, the guys do not lose heart and continue slowly but surely, go to your goal. You can think of politics or bad power, but you can try to do something and set an example to others.
Local is not entirely clear what they have forgotten here. The villages destroyed, the fields around are not processed, all young people leave for cities, and those who stay drink away. Immediately arrived city residents of their own accord, and are fighting for the right to live on an unfinished piece of field that until this moment no one had need to.
I am very happy that there are people for whom the main thing in life is not money, but joy from the most ordinary things – the emergence of new leaves from their seedlings, swimming in the river, sunsets and beautiful sky, smiles of children and interesting communication. And although the money and not in the first place, but somehow you have to earn them. I could not ask this question. Everything turned out to be quite simple – Millions no one, everyone earns now, as they can. One the couple started shooting weddings in the city, another couple managed agree with their employers on remote work through Internet, the rest go to Moscow to work.
