Russian Hunter

Indian Summer in Russia. A lot of Russian men go hunting. The tradition has many rituals. Although, sometimes it's very rude towards nature, in general people are quite moderate. However, I remember time of my childhood, when my father's friends have presented him the meat of just killed young elk. Unforgetable impressions.

My friend Misha. He's good sustainable hunter.

This masterpiece from Paradzhanov refers to Ukranian folk. However,
we can draw parallel lines with Russian traditional life style.
