Family homestead villages

The creation of family homestead villages, as outlined in the Ringing Cedars of Russia books by Vladimir Megre, offers a potential solution to many of the problems facing modern society. These villages, which are based on the principles of sustainable, self-sufficient living, can provide a viable alternative to the destructive, exploitative practices of industrial society. A family homestead is a minimum of one hectare of land on which a family creates its own ancestral space of love. This space is defined by a hedge boundary, which serves to protect and enclose the homestead, while also providing a natural and aesthetically […]

Practice of Family Homesteads (2018)

I analysed 71 academic articles about family homesteads written between 2003 and 2018. Many articles drew parallels with the Western concept of “eco-village”, and emphasised the residents’ desire for self-improvement, social harmony and an environmentally-friendly way of life (Petrov 2008, Kulyasov 2009, Savitsky et al. 2011, Pavlov 2013, Arkhinova 2015, Mukhlykin 2015, Hall 2015, Nesterova 2016, Pozenenko 2016, Walker & Plotnikova 2018). Others maintained that the Russian movement is distinct phenomenon compared to existing movements in the West (Khomyakova 2013, Zadorin et al. 2014, Gornaev 2016). In general, articles were positive, though tentative and sometimes dubious whether many would support […]

Anastasia’s predictions

Vladimir Megre: I spent three days in the taiga, as a result I wrote nine books. The release of the books themselves, people’s reaction to them, and changes to the world situation, she … predicted with absolute precision, right up to the presidential decrees. Until now, scientists have been arguing about who Anastasia is, putting forward all sorts of versions. Many scientists believe that she has made the most important discovery of all — more significant than the creation of the atomic bomb, construction of spacecraft, or huge particle colliders. This greatest discovery, which affects society, is precisely that which […]
