The Russian described life in the village of Tajikistan with the phrase “you can live without money”

A Russian travel blogger visited a remote village in Tajikistan and talked about how life is organized there. He shared his story on his personal blog TrueStory Travel on the Zen platform.

“Life in the Tajik village is quite self-sufficient. That is, with a certain skill and a great desire, you can live there without money at all. The whole life can be organized at the expense of subsistence farming and gathering: what you find on earth, you use,” the Russian described the local order in such phrases.

According to the author of the publication, houses in such villages are built of handmade adobe bricks, sometimes using natural stone, which is abundant in the mountains of Tajikistan. The dwellings consist of several rooms: the owner sleeps in one, his wife in another, and the children in the third. There is almost no furniture in the house, so people settle right on the floor on carpets and blankets.

“At first it may seem inconvenient, but in fact there are several advantages at once. Firstly, you don’t need to spend money on furniture, and secondly, it’s warmer to sleep together,” the blogger explained.

He added that a stove-stove installed in the middle of the room is responsible for the heat in the house, but there is no water supply there. People wash dishes and wash things in the nearest stream, and they also collect water from it for cooking and drinking. Electricity is provided by solar panels installed next to the house and a diesel electric generator.

The Russian also said that there is always food on the table in Tajik villages. “Firstly, Tajik has a small flock of sheep – it has enough meat, milk, and wool. Secondly, chickens are running around the house. This means that the farm always has eggs and an additional source of meat,” he explained.

Earlier, the same travel blogger had a conversation in a mountain village in Tajikistan with a local shepherd, who told him about his wife. The man admitted that she raises children alone, does the housework and does not express dissatisfaction.
