Hi Aliya,

I am sending you the links to the Lykov family case. This family 
belonged to a kind of a forbidden (at the time) religious sect. They 
went away to a remote part of Siberia, hundreds kilometers from other 
humans. And lived there for more than half a century completely isolated.

When they were finally "discovered", all the family, except one young 
lady, Agafia, died in no time due to lack of immunity against modern 
diseases. It is a long complicated story, I tried to tell it in a couple 
of sentences by oversimplifying it. You can read the whole story and 
view documentaries via links below.

Anyway, the "secret" place is on the OSM and Google maps now and Agafia, 
who is still alive, have got visitors from time to time during the summer:
