"Taiga Deadlock: A Documentary Story" is written by Soviet journalist and writer Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov (1930-2013). It tells the chronicle of the life and true story of the Lykov family, Old Believers hermits who were discovered in 1978 living in the middle of the Siberian taiga in the Western Sayan Mountains. They had been living without contact with civilization since 1938 and were unfamiliar with modern life. For 7 years, Peskov visited the Lykov family and published stories about these visits in "Komsomolskaya Pravda." The story had a significant resonance in the Soviet press of that time. The story is based on a series of articles by V.M. Peskov under the same title, published in the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" since 1982.
