"Portrait of the Kargopol merchant's wife Aleksandra Pivovarova" (1830s)
Vasiliy Galyanov (????-????)
Lisicinskaya village, northern part of Arkhangelsk Region, Kargopolsky District, mid-80s…
Simple, warm, beautiful in everything… starting from the name of the village. “Lisica” is “fox” in Russian and in winter the footprints of these animals are everywhere - in every yard, next to windows and doors… The best time for chopping woods is frosty winter when the wood is easy to split on separate logs. Not once I’ve seen local men doing the job trippingly and joyfully with their heavy axes raising high. Picturesque piles of logs first need to stay laid down, bright yellow on the white snow - released vivid structure of the wood should “breath”... You can see it in every yard. Firewood is essential for keeping warmth in the house, for supplying the heart of each Home - Russin stove. The whole life in a wooden house is thanks to the stove and around it… In summer the logs are already folded in stacks for drying. Folding a stack is a creative process. By the manner of folding woods, you may judge of a house’s master, a good master is skilful and neat in everything! Every man in a village folds the woods in his favourite way. Stacks can be used as a fence or divide the yard into parts. They are sometimes laid at the northern wall of the house becoming the natural part of its architecture and helping to keep the warmth (as in this picture).
