People living in isolation Bashny.Net

Hermits - people who live or dream of living not like everything, but because they want to, as called for their nature and purpose. Many of them were frustrated by society, while others have simply decided to cease contact with the outside world. And you would be able to live this way? 30 years in the mountains of Alaska. After years of service in the Navy and working as a mechanic American Richard Proenneke chose a rather unusual way to relax on the pension. He built a hut high in the mountains of Alaska, in the picturesque place called Twin Lakes. There he lived for almost thirty years - until his death. It should be noted that the hermit not completely cut himself off from the outside world: several times he made the long journey to Iowa, to their relatives. However, most of his life he spent in solitude in the wilderness. He hunted, fished and studied nature, opening a natural-born naturalist. Episodes of his solitary life Proenneke recorded on tape, which was later installed in a series of documentary films "Alone in the Wild." His recordings have been adapted for a number of books, and, in addition, he wrote several important articles in the field of meteorology and biology.

Fleeing from Stalin's repressions, the family fled to the forest ... With their modest belongings Lykovs went farther and farther away from society, stopping only a couple of hundred kilometers from the border with Mongolia. Husband, wife and their four children (two were born in the Taiga) lived only those that were grown or caught in the hunt. They often go hungry; mother of the family died of starvation in 1961 after so once again gave their portion of food to children.

In October 1945, the Japanese government tried to inform about the end of the soldiers hiding in the deep jungle, but Onoda and his companions took the news papers and leaflets dropped from overflying aircraft for enemy propaganda. And although they have read all the news until the last word, they decided not to give up until then, until they receive orders from their commander in chief.
