Hermit Yuri. Tipi on the Yaroslavl highway

If you have ever traveled along the Yaroslavl Highway, you probably could not help but notice at the 106th kilometer a furnished dwelling with a tent that looks like an Indian wigwam (in fact, this is a tipi). Next to the tipi there is a dugout in which Yuri lives, who became a hermit several years ago.
