This Smithsonian article has been pinballing around the Internet, and for good reason.
It tells the story of a team of Russian geologists who went to remote Siberia in 1978 and stumbled upon a family who had been living there for decades in order to escape civilization and practice a religion so fundamentalist that bread was forbidden.
It alternates between darkness (starvation, disease) and humor (the family’s reactions to cellophane and satellites), and it’s well worth a read.
