The Lost Lykov Family

Take some time (or toss it into your Read Later) to get familiar with this article on the Lykov family. The headline sells it pretty well - "For 40 Years, This Russian Family Was Cut Off From All Human Contact, Unaware of World War II." The tale told describes the interaction of their discovery, the tale of how they isolated themselves in Siberia and the trials and tribulations they experienced.

Once you're enraptured in the story you can further your education with the documentary, Lost in the Taiga.
