Vasily Krylov, a former geologist, found refuge in the vast expanses of the Barguzin Nature Reserve after the collapse of the familiar world. It seemed that here, among three hundred and seventy thousand hectares of wild nature, far from people, one could find peace. But the taiga preserves not only beauty and solitude. She tests a person's strength by making a choice where there are no definite answers.
In this deep, atmospheric story, you will walk along the snow-covered trails of the reserve with Vasily. You will feel the chilling cold of the January cold, you will hear the silence, interrupted only by the creaking of skis and the alarming hum of engines where they should not be. You will encounter the echoes of a turbulent era that forever changed the fate of people who were thrown to the sidelines of life.
This is not just a story about fighting poachers or smugglers. This is a poignant exploration of human nature on the brink of survival. Vasily, who is called upon to protect the inviolability of the reserve, is again and again faced with an unbearable choice.:
Can you save the life of an injured person, knowing that this will involve you in a deadly game?
Should I punish a desperate father who catches fish to feed hungry children?
Should we follow the letter of the law when it cripples fate, or listen to the voice of conscience, risking everything?
#Taiga becomes a mute witness to his inner struggle. Every decision has grave consequences. Every meeting is a test of humanity. Here, far from civilization, duty, mercy, fear and despair collide.
Hear the authentic voice of Siberia – harsh, wise and full of pain. Find out what invisible threads connect the destinies of humans and wildlife. And think about the questions that Vasily himself asks.:
Where is the line between humanity and indulgence?
When does conscience have the right to rise above the instructions?
Who has the right to decide who to save and who to leave to their fate?
This story is not just the memories of a huntsman. This is a parable about choice, responsibility, and the price that must be paid to preserve human dignity in the harshest conditions. This is a story about how true power is not in destruction, but in preservation, and that sometimes the right decision lies beyond the formal rules.
Get ready for a long, thoughtful and emotional journey into the depths of the Barguzin taiga and the human soul.
