Borovitchi—a Russian provincial town roughly halfway between Moscow and St. Petersburg, slightly off the main route.
About 60,000 inhabitants, yet a distinctly rural way of life.
Small traders in the marketplace pray: “Help us, oh Lord, to sell!”
There used to be industry in Soviet times; now what matters are the potatoes stored in your cellar.
Thank God for a good potato harvest! The police chief has forty-five sacks.
The pride of the army: homemade pickles and preserves in the cellar of a former monastery.
Felt boots are still produced in one of the last remaining factories.
Winter may come.
