            Borovitchi - Russian provincial town, about half way between Moscow and St.Petersburg, a little off the main track.
60.000 inhabitants, yet a rather rural way of life.
Small dealers in the market place: “Help us, oh Lord, to sell!”
There used to be some industry in the soviet times, now what counts
are the potatoes in your basement.

Thank God a good potato year! The head of the police has 45 sacks.
The pride of the army: home made pickles and preserves in the cellar of a former monastery.
Felt boots are being made in one of the last factories.
Winter may come!
