As the Saratov village of Loch turned into a fashionable tourist place. Speaks Special Corps Anastasia Yakreva

Rural life in Russia is increasingly declining, but there are reverse, inspiring examples. In the Saratov region, in the village with a slightly offensive name Loch suddenly appeared several new inhabitants who greatly transformed him. The Kislins family moved to a sucker from Saratov to try to restore an old water mill here. Yuri Karamzin came from Spain, who became a cheese and built a "garden of incorrect sculptures." Former chief architect Saratov, Alexander Kyskin, settled in Loch to restore the local church of the Archangel Michael. Now tourist excursions are regularly visited in the village, and the next visitors, fascinated by this place, buy housing there. In the podcast “Text of the week”, the special corner of “Medusa” Anastasia Yakureva tells the amazing story of the village of Loch.
