For 40 Years, This Russian Family Was Cut Off From All Human Contact (1 Viewer)

Just imagine. In the event of some sort of massive plague or war that killed off most of the human population and destroyed modern infrastructure, this is more or less what we'd be reduced to; running around the forest in birch bark shoes, our pots and pans eventually giving out, eventually running out of ammunition for our guns (hard to imagine in this country, I know), our remaining books rotting, our language reduced to a series of coos and grunts. And this was a family that had a lot more basic survival skills than most of us city slickers would have today. Shudder.

"When the sisters talked to each other, it sounded like a slow, blurred cooing."

Anyone find this slightly arousing?




Cool story and good read. A lot of people dream about being able to come back in 50 years to see how things have changed.
