For two families - two houses, for three - three houses. In total, there are eight three -apartment buildings in the village. And one more pentamary, with a common roof. Three families live in it, three people each. Two families are large. The village has its own "village" store. The village has its own school, kindergarten. Twice a week, a car shop with groceries arrives.
- And what else? - asks one of the local residents.
- Well, there is a mail. But she is the same as in the city. Yes, and we do not go there.
In the corridors there are buckets for washing the floor. Curtains hang on the windows. There is a gym and a library. Chickens and dogs walk along the street. Behind the school is a cemetery. Behind the cemetery - a forest. The village is surrounded by forest.
The forest is also covered with the village. In the summer there are a lot of mushrooms. In winter - a lot of snow. Locals call themselves "indigenous." But whether they are indigenous - it is incomprehensible. They say that the Germans lived here before.
"Germans from the Volga region." They left when the Russians came.
There are no electricity in the beam houses. Tundra houses are drowned with birch wood in winter, which are harvested in the summer.

The head of the village leaves the house and shouts:
- What are you fooling me! Bring the dog on a leash!
In response, silence, only the wind howls.
And then a dog runs out from around the corner of the house, which is not like a leash, but without a leash. And rushes to the head of the village.
Screech, barking, screaming, the head of the village runs away. Due to the turn, the owner of the dog appears.
- What are you doing! - the head of the village shouts to him. - Bring the dog!
The owner of the dog says:
“I brought her out.”
People gathered, they say:
- How so! We brought the dog, but he did not.
We decided to figure it out. They see: indeed, the dog is in place, and its owner is too.

Vera died. One evening, she drank with two men who came to visit us, but did not wake up in the morning.
I did not drink - I was afraid for the children.
At night I went outside. Luna shone, it was dark. And I saw someone fled on the road from the village to the forest. I knew that this was not a person, because he had skis.
And I realized: someone came for me.
Someone I don't know. One of those who live in the forest.
In the morning I went to the boss.
“Do you know what happened to Vera?”
He looked at me and said:
- I know.
I felt scared. I asked:
- What do you know?
- She hanged herself.
Everyone already knew in the village. Many thought Vera hanged herself
Because she did not have money. And who has money, they are not hung.
The boss told me:
- Do not worry, she has already been buried.
But I still worried. After all, all this time I was alone. And no one could help me. And now I was left completely alone.
