Stand to attention

We stopped off at Mandrogi this afternoon which is a reproduction of a traditional Russian village and houses a community of crafts men and women, it operates on collective lines and has 2 rules apparently, no drinking and no theft. It's a lovely place. There is a small boat that takes people to an island called 'glade of fairy tales' and there carvings have been made of characters from Pushkin's fairy tales; this is one of them, very Lord of the Rings I thought.
