Forty years in the wilderness

No, I'm not talking about the exodus from Egypt. I'm talking about an extraordinary story I picked up from SurvivalBlog a couple days ago about a Russian family that fled into the remote taiga wilderness in 1938 and stayed undiscovered for forty years. Read the entire article here.


Their story is at once horrifying, fascinating, and inspiring.


I also find it extraordinary that the youngest child -- now in her 70s -- is still there.
