The Forgotten Village of Ilatovskaya. Museum

At the only apartment house we were immediately met by a local dog, and then by the owner of the house.

Naturally, we were invited to a cup of tea, explaining this by the fact that guests are not often, and the road is distant.

How can it be in a village house? Of course it's warm and cozy!

Coziness are added by cats - they are already here four!

Have you counted three?

And here comes the fourth!

Hand-painted oven. The landlady personally painted and not only on the stove - also painted almost all the furniture!

The yard is guarded by a snowman.

After a fragrant tea with honey and fried eggs, after a heartfelt talk about the history of the village and life in it, the museum was opened and shown to us.

It contains all local household items, tools and various household utensils.

Dog did not depart from us a single step, even in the museum we accompanied.

And in the other half of the house was shown a classic interior characteristic of this village.

In the local store, which was converted to a cafe, there is also an exposition. It contains portraits of all the villagers.

On the portraits are written not only the names and surnames, but even the nicknames in parentheses. (Pekarikha, Vasya the Sweet, etc.) Because of this, I want to look at each portrait in detail!

On this our study of the village did not end. Further we will go down to the river, we descend to the farthest corner and at last, we will walk through the village on hunting skis.

To be continued...
