In 1936, a family of Russian Old Believers journeyed deep into Siberia's vast taiga to escape persecution and protect their way of life. The Lykovs eventually settled in the Sayan Mountains, 160 miles from any other sign of civilization. In 1944, Agafia Lykov was born into this wilderness. Today, she is the last surviving Lykov, remaining steadfast in her seclusion. In this episode of Far Out, the VICE crew travels to Agafia to learn about her taiga lifestyle and the encroaching influence of the outside world.

The videographers said they didn't know WHY she told them about her earlier rape. I have the answer. In my aunt's late 70s she blurted out loud to me that her grandfather had molested her. Then she said, "THERE I'VE FINALLY SAID IT." It was a relief for her to finally get it out. Who else was this woman supposed to tell? She FINALLY told someone. Bless her.

She wasn’t raped it was mutual sex and the guy found out she wasn’t a virgin which would mean incest. She blurted it out to clear her name and since the geologist and the guy that banged her are dead it’s her word only.

The woman chops trees herself, has farm animals, lives in super cold climate, wow ... these vice documentaries truly make me appreciate my life. We tend to overlook the blessings we have while people of other cultures continue to persevere through much tougher environments.

Someone should remove that dog-I hate that part of this video- makes that woman seem stupid-I’m sorry but it does!! She has no understanding that the dog could be her best ally-and nobody who visited told her? At that point the dog’s life and ability to learn is ruined but any new dog should be treated completely different or else Agafia shouldn’t be allowed to keep a dog at All!

I have followed her story for the last couple of years and now find it is sad to learn that her health is starting to fail.

Now I'm Not saying you should go on, loving stalkers from now on, that would be foolish and dangerous, but I Am saying that things, that modern society has made us believe to be really bad, are nothing more then just another invention ( in a long line of those ) to keep ordinairy people devided ! For in a Un-divided society, stalkers probably wouldn't even exist ! Ask yourself simple questions like, is she, better of, now he is dead ? Or, maybe being all alone, is worse then being stalked ? Now, I'm also Not attacking any of you or defending that idiot rapist ( what he probably was, but is nowhere proven ) And I am, sure as Hell, NOT saying, she probably liked to be raped, for Nobody "likes" to be, at the recieving end of something like that, even when you see her telling the story with a smile on her face, as she did all throu the video and to me gave the impression, that she was a happy person, living a happy life, inspite of all things that we percieve as terrible, dangerous, and thus, not for us !

The geologist, Mr. Sedov, passed away at age 77 in 2015. Since he died in May when it was rather warm Agafia buried him herself. The son of Mr. Sedov commented in a Siberian Times article that he will be forever gratefult to Agafia because his father now rests in his most beloved place. Seems she gets regularly visiitors nowadays, tourists who read the book about her family or saw this docu, other Old Believers and orthodox Christians, researchers working nearby and so forth. Probably too much for her liking I can imagine. There are russian vids on YT where some of it is documented. I hope she can live there in (somewhat) autonomy till the end.

@@pollydixon3591 I have it, it's called "Lost in the Taiga: One Russian family's fifty-year struggle for survival and religious freedom in the Siberian wilderness" by Vasily Peskov. It's hard to find and used copies go for over 100 bucks these days. Some might be disillusioned by reading it and/or doing additional research because you'll find out that this family didn't live as isolated as often portrayed in media (and certainly on YT) and of course Agafia herself even had married a man after her father passed and had lived in a old believer's community in a city for a while. Plus there are some ugly allegations about sexual abuse in this family. It's an interesting albeit short read though.

She talked of childhood visits to her grandparents in Siberia. Agafia's life reminds me of these stories. Began reading comments to find out if there has been any news of Agafia since making this video, but there are so many negative comments that I almost cry. I can't read anymore. God bless Agafia with the Love and Light she so vibrantly shares to all.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. I concur. It saddens me to read all the negative and insensitive comments. She is a child that was raised in isolation in an inhospitable place, and yet she is welcoming and smiles frequently. She is deeply religious as was her family. Her faith is what keeps her strong and allows her to view the world with a spiritual purity that is impossible to find anywhere today. Sadly we live in an age where God is all but disappearing and those that profess a different viewpoint become the subject of ridicule, shame, and hatred. I believe in God and I also believe that science provides many wonderful things, unfortunately we continue to use science and technology to destroy rather than to better the lives of others. I pray that Agafia is safe and warm.

I have so much admiration for Agafia and people who live the wisdom and hardships of these nomadic, ancient lifestyles. Over the years, I have realised that living a simpler, more natural way of life is the true secret to the path of happiness and contentment and is a way of life that, I am searching for (although, the wilderness is very hard, if not impossible to find in my tiny, overpopulated 'home' island of the UK). The park ranger was right in saying, The wilderness cleanses your soul and it is a life I hope to be able to emulate in some capacity one day. For now I am making do with living in my van which, is a compromise to the log cabin I dream of. Thank you for this inspiring documentary and I wish Agafia many blessings of good health and abundance in her future🌈🙏🌠🕊🌿💞

Your listening comprehension is abysmal. She speaks of a ''sinful act'', which could be just about anything. She is an Old Believer, the bar for a ''sinful act'' is incredibly low. We also do not know if she participated willingly in some of it and potentially regretted it later due to her beliefs. After all, how exactly does a one legged man force himself on an able bodied woman? The guy can barely move at all, I just don't see it. She never said the act made her feel like dying, you were not listening. The letter he wrote, that was in practice blackmail, is what made her want to leave and starve do death in the wilderness. From a purely logistical and rational perspective. Heating up two cabins so close to each other is an extreme waste of resources when there are only two people present. Double the firewood and double the work.

She's so pure and naive ,someone please explain her that she can toss his ass away and that nobody never could handcuff her without reasons.

@Monkey Barrel Science has prolonged and improved the lives of millions of people who would have otherwise died in infancy or lived only until their teens or twenties, dying from (now) totally preventable diseases in the "olden days." Our health and longevity is markedly better now, thanks to scientific advances, than it's ever been in any prior century. My great-grandfather died in his early twenties of typhus, which is now totally curable but was pretty much a death sentence "back in the day." Because of this, my grandfather never knew him, and was raised by another man. Didn't know who his biological father was until after he got back from the service, well into adulthood. So I'd just be thankful that you and I and everyone else in the developed world isn't on death's door due to some treatable disease or condition that scientists discovered a cure for.

@@malapoyo Amazing how you can say so little and tell everyone you don't know a single thing about science and god/religion. "Science" is what gave the people filming this the ability to do so, and gave you the ability to watch it for free on the internet, which is also thanks to science. You're literally alive only thanks to science. Not being completely crippled or dead from a deadly disease, living in a air-conditioned and/or heated home, being able to communicate and experience different things through a little computer held in your hand is all thanks to science. Anything "bad" that happens in the world isn't because of science, it's because of people, usually like you.

Which tells me she doesn't believe she is even though she lives a subsistence lifestyle and is what I would consider as living in abject poverty. Dude this lady is unreal. Why is the world filled with so many awful people when it could be a world of people who think and believe like her.

I had watched a group of young people in a restaurant and each one was texting someone without looking up once to talk to the friends they were with.
