In the mid 1990s, a new concept emerged in Russia for the arrangement of human settlements in rural territories. The family homestead idea allocates a plot of at least one hectare to each family household for the purpose of creating a dimension of love. Each family strives to perfect the environment within the boundaries of their homestead plot. The natural environment of the family homestead offers a living picture with infinite permutations. Plantings, buildings, earthworks, mowing and sowing all combine to create an external materialisation of the inhabitants’ inner consciousness. The family homestead is constructed and conceived with love for […]

Sounds of the Soul of Russia. These poems were written by readers of Volume 1 Anastasia, after its publication in 1995. Readers submitted their poetry directly to the author, and to the Anastasia Foundation.

In ancient times in Russia, the veche (вече) was conducted twice a year, at the spring and autumn equinox, or when there was urgent business to address.

Родовое поместе means family homestead, but not exactly. In Russian there are two words for family. Семья is the family in a small sense, the immediate family, like a nuclear family. Род is the family in a large sense, like one’s ancestry, family line, and connection to the Creator. To better understand the word Род, I asked my Russian friends on social media to give their definition. I haven’t had many answers so far, but the responses already confirm a new word-meaning for English speakers to understand. Limited to single words, I believe Marian Schwartz was correct to choose “family […]
