Insisting on staying, Agafia, as far as I could dig up,
to this day now in her 70s, still lives high in the mountains of the Siberian taiga.
On February 16th, 1988, exactly 27 years to the day after his
wife, Karp passed away in his sleep, leaving only Agafia as the surviving member of the family.
Karp and his wife, Akulina, had two more children in the wild,
Dmitry and Agafia, who before they met the Russian geologists,
had never seen another human besides their own family.
