    The fact that this man has lived in those conditions for over 20 years, is mind blowing and inspiring. He chooses that life when thousands of people have everything in the world and are so unhappy.. God bless this man..

      You´re right, it shows it isn´t about "having everything" but more likely about overcoming obstacles.
      As someone mentioned in comment above - I think that everybody should live in far more demanding conditions for a while to change his perspective on world around him and life values. Anyway that´s a reason I like travelling.

    Everything about this video touched me deeply and profoundly. Samuil - there should be a feature film on this man, his life, his story, his log cabin, his beloved dogs, his music, his diet, his recipes... i lived a life on a farm with no running water and no electricity for 9 years. I foraged the forest for firewood, grew our own food, played our drums and made our own music at full moon - it was hard but it was magical. But to do this in the far end of the Siberian tundra amongst wolves and bears deserves nothing but respect and i am in awe of this lone human. Long live Samuil! Please may we have an update on Samuil. The poet and romantic in me also wants to know his birthday, his life story, his hopes and dreams, details of the tragedy that brought him to this state of solitude and what keeps him going. What's his favourite meal, what's his favourite dessert? What treats does he buy himself from the village? Whats the name of his three dogs?

    This as a russian bedtime-story.
    A long time ago, a Russian child lived in poverty with his family. His entire family died and he moved to the forest to live in isolation. He had to chop wood every day to keep warm. His only friends were dogs with whom he shared his food and warmth, sang songs and waited for summer. He patiently awaited the day when he would die and see his family again. The end.

    Amazing person. I came across the guy once while walking around Lake Baikal in 2013. Anatoliy was his name and I have spent a night in his house, similar to the one in the video. Anatoliy lives in the most remote part of the lakeshore, it took me around 2 months to reach that place. At that point, he lived there for 52 years already, rarely meeting with other people, unless a boat with tourists came around. Anatoliy has frostbites on all his fingers which are almost completely gone. The area contains one of the biggest populations of brown bears and every night they come around the house, not to damage or look for food. I think they just come to wind him up as he is a part of nature there. There were claw marks all over the house but no damage. At night there was a lot of growling around. Very simple person and very friendly. He told me the story about himself and how he ended up there. As a young man (20 YO) he was already an alcoholic and during the winter in Listvianka, he and his mate went drunk outside. His friend died that night frozen to death and Anatoliy was found almost frozen, lost all his fingers and almost his arm. He decided to leave the world of people and move to the wild, where he remains until today I hope. I was given very useful tips on how to predict the rain according to how ants behave, how to avoid bears, and what to forage. Also warned me of the poachers which I encountered later during my trip. I would love to go back there and learn more from him. Such a simple yet very wise person.

He has such a tough life, with no luxuries and has to work so hard for every crumb of food or drop of drink. It is inspiring and it was touching to see the cameramen give him a few very valuable resources. Wonderful heartwarming story and make you realise how lucky most of us are,and makes you appreciate this more and not take it for granted. Major respect and love to him!

    You did an amazing job of storytelling that is both interesting and respectful. It made me want to learn more. It certainly felt like I was transported there, like a fly on the wall. The sounds that you recorded and enhanced - the crunch of the snow, the crackling of firewood, the song of the pup, and the wonderfully soft and loving voice that Samuil sang that most touching song in the end. A true masterpiece! Thank you for giving this to the world, and it was a much needed break from worrying about all the issues in my day-to-day life and around the world. It helped bring things into perspective, and made me yearn for more simplicity in my life and a deeper connection with my family.
    I hope that you are able to make a follow up video with this fascinating man. I would love to contribute to a crowdfund to help upgrade his living conditions however we can. He’s about the same age as my mother and life is only going to get harder every year that he grows older. I worry about him falling asleep one day without enough wood in the fire. I worry about him having no way to radio for help if he gets injured and can’t trek all that way to the village. He has survived for so long and I’m sure is content with how life may pan out for him. I just hope that we can in some way give back to him the way that his story and life has enriched our lives, and that he may live the remainder of his life knowing that despite feeling so alone after losing his family, there is a bigger global community of people who does care and felt the legacy that he has created. I wish for him to know that he matters and is remembered.

    His song brought tears to my eyes. He most have loved his mother, and vice versa. He represents the solitude in each and every one of us. Life in the forest doesn’t seem too bad. As he grows older, he will need more insulation for his house, but now, the hard work is what keeps him fit. His door needs better insulation, maybe if he double layered the cellophane it would be better insulation. (But would fog sometimes).
