The story about the Lykov family - Russian Old Believers, who, by the will of fate, lived for several decades in solitude in the Pritelets taiga and the upper reaches of the Abakan River, surprises and amazes with its truthfulness. The whole world learned about this family from the essays of Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondent V.M. Peskova. The story of Tigry Georgievich Dulkeit - a man who lived most of his life in these same places - is a sincere story about hardworking, honest people who loved their land. A difficult life did not break the spirit of these original Russian people, nor did they break their faith and desire for freedom. The book will be of interest to local historians, tourists, as well as a wide range of readers.
