Дед Степан, Мартьян и Мамелфа, или русские староверы в Боливии
Do you believe in miracles? Can you imagine that today on the planet somewhere in the tropics you can find pre-revolutionary Russia?

Do not rush to say no, because this is exactly the kind of Russia Sergei Yastrzhembsky and his team discovered in the tropics of Bolivia.
