A summer documentary from Arkhangelsk Oblast
What is life like in the remote northern villages of Russia during summer — when the sun barely sets, forests come alive, and traditions still shape daily routines?
In this film, we take you to real Russian villages in Arkhangelsk Oblast, far from the cities and the noise of modern life. Here, in the heart of rural Russia, local families live in harmony with nature, following the rhythm of the land and seasons.
You’ll see:
How Russians live in northern villages in summer — working in gardens, gathering herbs, and preparing traditional food.
Life with no supermarkets or conveniences: villagers rely on self-sufficiency, growing their own vegetables, raising animals, and using natural resources.
Traditional Russian cooking in outdoor kitchens and wood-fired ovens — from fresh dairy to baked goods and forest herbs.
Folk traditions and crafts still alive in the North: weaving, embroidery, woodwork, and more.
Close-knit communities where neighborly help, shared work, and seasonal holidays bring people together.
This is an honest, unfiltered look at life in a Russian village. There’s no glamour, no artificial drama — only authentic rural life, shown as it truly is.
