Honestly, there are really a few of straight-thinking...
...and straight-living people in villages nowadays
Healthy, thinking, capable person but has no power to say "no"
Upbringing or destiny...
Maybe he couldn't deal with some difficult situation
Monologue
The main reason is lack of work
Sometimes we need a worker but there are no one capable around
Master
Of life
As a rule, "survival of the fittest"
Actually, natural selection takes place here
Master
Of life
My name is Timur Krol
I've moved to village and now...
...I see no other appropriate place for life and self-development
I won't rivet, it'll be too long for filming
The thin tip is pulled back...
...to make it sharper
Then it cuts grass like a razor
Aerodynamic scythe helps you to stay fit...
...plus...
...it saves the harmony if we're talking about calmness and nature...
...because, in my opinion, everything should be balanced
I mean, if I were cutting all this grass with a scythe, I would be struck down
I'm talking about rational usage of technology, human qualities and physical strength
I came to love the village only when I moved here,
to the village itself
But the desire to live around nature relates to the journey to the Far East
I mean, my father got there on a business trip,
invited me and my mother to there...
...and we spent there 6 years
The nature itself surrouned and wrapped us
Every weekend we went to bald mountains
So touristic life made us realize...
...that all we are...
...parts of nature
You can make up living anywhere besides wilderness or boreal forest
But you can't ask old people for a lot of money
I would rely on amount of work
When I was coming here I counted everything and it turned out to be 10$
I don't think it's a purpose of existence here or somewhere else
But money is wealth
Even though human is self-serving by nature,
is an egoist...
...and he will seek for benefit
But conscience also should take place here
Sometimes my wife scolds me:
"You do everything for others but nothing for us!"
And I answer:
"Our needs can wait a little"
And I also say:
"There I do that to learn how to make it better for us"
All these big bushes were everywhere and there was only a small pass
So I put off the old part, put new shutters and here is a nice dock
I made it as wide as I could
Here we have apple, pear trees,
bushes on the right...
...and garden near to greenhouse, my wife looks after it
On the left we have park
Here is a small fir nearby,
it's not very high
We were given it as a wedding present
When I was about to start family, I understood I was responsible for it...
...so I couldn't say: "For me it's enough"
I mean that for me it is hard...
...to understand my wife's mood...
...and meet her needs
"We haven't been to sea!"
I say: "We will when the time comes, why should we do that now?"
For now the situation is uncomfortable: we have a cow tied here
But what we need it for?
- To bring up healthy children
When we moved here there were 3 herds of cows, but now everyone sold their cows...
...and now there are only 2 cows in the area
I'm talking about the fact that the cow should be looked for and we can't leave
It is temporary
But there's no such idea that till the age of 10 all children should visit sea,
visit dozen countries, preferably Europe and Asia,
see all parts of the world,
get to Antarctica and shake the hand with a penguin
And we will definitely get them to the sea
Now we visit wife's parents who are in the other part of the country
During the ride I try my best to show them new beautiful places
However, we live in the light, I mean, we don't live like prisoners
Everyone carries his own cross, so to speak, everyone has his own way
You know, I'd also ask: "What's then?"
What will be after seeing the whole planet?
There should be some result
I mean, it should serve some purpose, experience should bear fruit
Two words: be useful
Because otherwise it'll be like undesirable plant:
blooms but doesn't have fruit
Maybe it can even look beautiful but that's all
And here are I, my wife Evgheniya...
...and 3 children: the elder son Zahar,
the middle son Andrey...
...and the younger daughter Ulyana
You see, my son helps me
Sometimes he does it squirming...
...to show himself, it seems to me that his temperament is setting up
Even now the combat continues:
the elder son was given a tablet and now the war is started
As a parent I should show my authority,
so I explain him that he spends too much time with it...
...and that he should develop his other abilities while he's young,
that he'll have plenty of time...
...to play a lot...
...or even to devote his life to it and become a programmer
At the moment they're recieving this information and this experience,
then they'll recieve city life experience
To let him understand the difference
I mean, a choice is made on the basis of comparing
I got through it as well
I just made a choice, understood...
...that city life is not really my thing
We got married and decided we needed a house...
...and this house had already been partly ready to be settled in
"How much can you pay to not feel bad?"
"I have 300$, is it enough?"
"Good"
But if we keep in mind how much houses cost in this area now,
this house was bought for pennies
Of course, in current condition it will cost...
...no less than 10.000$
And now, actually, a house that hardly stands will cost about 2.000$-3.000$
For me telephone is mean of communication
If I need to send work-related photos, I use my camera
No, I don't mean its cool, I mean that I don't need a telephone with good camera
Yes, on the one hand, carrying camera may seem uncomfortable...
...but its not a problem for me
You know, if you get compelled by technology, you dissolve in it
Yep, it's on the wheels now, good
Thank you
If we're talking about emptiness of the generation...
...um...
...on the whole, I'd say that...
...they're confused
Now there's an abundance of information and trash...
...and you should be able to dig up the core...
...but this generation is stuck in this dump...
...like in swamp...
...and doesn't give any result, its just faceless mass
Or it will copy someone...
...but, you know, templates should take place sometimes
Life is interesting when it's bright
Fireworks are also an explosion
And sometimes the explosion is human,
it's just like fireworks
I realized I was interested in foreign languages in high school
Language...
...is a reflection of culture
I had been studying for a linguist...
...and as a result now I play role mainly of a worker, partly of a builder
I even got to know how to bake, yeah
Became a builder
Here you are self-sufficient
You understand that if you don't fulfil your responsibilities, there's no next day
You don't bring water - you don't cook
You don't chop firewood - you are freezing in winter
You have to deal with problems yourself
Bought an arc welder - learnt how to weld
I have nothing against people who reach success in narrow range or profile
It's everyones business...
...and I don't try to compete or say that I've got a multicolored bouqet of flowers
It's just my...
...view of life
I suppose that a person should be multi-skilled and interesting
When a person is able to do a lot of things,
when he reads, knows and can tell you a lot,
he's much more interesting
If a person is intellectual, the world flows to him itself
I'm still growing as a linguist, the flame in me hasn't blown out
We took up rural tourism and there were lots of...
...foreign experts, there were different projects,
I even went to the international exhibition to Berlin in 2005
Can you imagine, even I, a man from wilderness was invited
Look at how my life went on, despite the fact I don't work in any diplomatic service,
I still went around the world a little
I was in Germany, Poland, USA
Dutchmen, Poles came here to us
I mean, it's still interesting!
Even Chinese were here!
In my opinion, there's no place for boredom
If we're talking about interest and boredom,
I'd be bored of going to fabric every day and doing the same work on a machine
But it turns out that people come from generations which...
...were doing what they were told to
I mean, there are really a few of free-thinking people...
...and many even get scared of the unknown
But here you have to create everything yourself
Even if somebody asks me: "But there's really no work at all!"
Get a cow, get pigs
There are lot's of abandoned gardens
You can so much here
If you have this...
...charge...
...of positive bomb,
you can develop
There's a good saying: "Sometimes development is the relust of a kick in the ass"
There's clay soil here and it's heavy
The summer is hot, so the clay turned to stone
Uncomfortable for garden, almost nothing grows
But when we got a cow, everything got easier
You see, the left part of the garden...
...is already done
The right part is getting ready to be done
We put manure right on the grass...
...and in a year...
...all...
...all the organic, worms function great
We open it and get a nice fertile soil ready to be filled with plants
Here are last strawberries, still hanging
There are currant bushes
Oh, look, a grass-snake...
...and a lizard right after it
You see, life is everywhere
Yes, I'd say that now we're standing at the origin of revival
And the wave goes
We have friends who during last 7 years...
...were coming here for pleasure...
...but then bought houses here...
...and decided they should have a house and live in a village
We're given mind to help us analize everything...
...and surround ourselves with this picture
If a person looks at life from the point of view of problems,
he'll never obtain happiness...
...and will always feel bad
The one who looks at life from the point of view of happiness...
...and seeks only for pleasure,
the one who is capricious...
...will always be discontented,
will always look for new happiness when old ones are gone
If we're talking about some happiness formula,
happiness is a mix of joy and challenge
