I am one of the six daughters of Bortnikova Tatyana Aleksandrovna. Our village is very small, man on 200. From an early age we experienced hard peasant labor. The house, farm, garden and a huge plot of land of 0,5 Hectare required constant attention. We worked hard just to survive. Yes, many of us have come a long way. My way is hard and bumpy. Now in my way “Enchanted Forest” - "Mirkwood”. And I have the impression that I was able to off the "Elf-path" * "Mirkwood" - is a name used for a great dark fictional forest in novels by J. R. R. Tolkien in the 20th century. * "Elf-path" - the Elf-path was a little-known pathway through Mirkwood.
