Great battles did we overcome ‘tween forces light and dark,And on our earthly bodies made brave victory its mark,Lo all hell and evil’s ills yay made it still we through,Remembering for evermore all that is good and true.One maiden’s brightest courage lit a star for me to find,Cleanly wiped my grimy past in body, soul […]

“Family homestead” is a better and more accurate translation of родовое поместье into English. Let me present my arguments. First, поместье is not an entirely new word. It has a historical meaning, similar to “homestead” (USA) and “estate” (UK), regarding an allotted plot of land to be developed by the recipient as a service to […]

In the mid 1990s, a new concept emerged in Russia for the arrangement of human settlements in rural territories. The family homestead idea allocates a plot of at least one hectare to each family household for the purpose of creating a dimension of love. Each family strives to perfect the environment within the boundaries of […]

Sounds of the Soul of Russia. These poems were written by readers of Volume 1 Anastasia, after its publication in 1995. Readers submitted their poetry directly to the author, and to the Anastasia Foundation.

In ancient times in Russia, the veche (вече) was conducted twice a year, at the spring and autumn equinox, or when there was urgent business to address. The elders (старейшины) from each village gathered together along with their helpers, not more than about five people from each village. There was no chief at this kind […]

What would you advise to those who really want to live in the settlement of “Radosvet”, but do not have the necessary funds?

Of course for a successful move, money is necessary. But it will appear only when your dream turns into a clear and measurable goal. In our world there are many opportunities to create capital.

Experiments show that plants retain a connection with their carers constantly, even at great distance, and probably instantaneously.

Родовое поместе means family homestead, but not exactly. In Russian there are two words for family. Семья is the family in a small sense, the immediate family, like a nuclear family. Род is the family in a large sense, like one’s ancestry, family line, and connection to the Creator. To better understand the word Род, […]

There is good news on Earth but for the story that really satisfies, Westerners may need to look overseas. Thanks to the many people who are creating their family homesteads, preserving their oases of Love, there will be Good on the Earth!

​Vladimir Megre: Good afternoon, friends. Right now we’re driving along the road in Bavaria, Germany. We decided to explore a little place with a campground where you can hold meetings. Remember I was saying it would be good to gather for a day or two, on the weekend, to communicate with each other. ​As you […]

In my school years, Vladimir Megre’s books “Ringing Cedars of Russia” became a part of my life. And then I began to dream of a family homestead and a happy future! The dream presented by the taiga hermit Anastasia inspires me in my creativity and guides me through life.

Flowering plants and berries attract to the hedge the attention not only of birds, but also of neighbours, especially children, who can sniff flowers and blossoms as they run about, and treat themselves to the ripe fruits.

We create the microclimate ourselves. The most important thing is to see the meaning in all of this, to actually want to take steps to meet others, and to go ahead and begin. Only the one who walks will master the road!

We planted lots of fruit trees, berry bushes (always a few more of those to finishing off planting), loosened several flower beds for flowers, made several permanent vegetable beds (we even had the first crops), and began to plant a hedge.
