Longread #266 -- Lost and Found in Siberia -- 3/1/13

This isn't the only story of its kind, but it is pretty remarkable how this family was able to survive under the conditions they found themselves in. It's also a crazy thought experiment to try to put yourself in theirs shoes and consider the profound changes in society that you would have to adapt to (or choose not to adapt to).

Happy Friday!
