- Yuri Baikov, 64, feeds livestock on his farm in a forest near the village of Yukhovichi, some 187 miles, northeast of Minsk, December 15, 2012. Yuri and his wife Tamara settled in the forest about 20 years ago after the collapse of the Soviet Union to live in solitary and to start their own business in agriculture and cattle breeding. They started out in a temporary hut in hopes of building a house and a business in the remote Belarussian site, just hundreds of meters from the border with Russia. But 20 years later, they continue to live in the hut without basic amenities like electricity as their business has not thrived under unimproved economic conditions. (Vasily Fedosenko/Reuters)
