Location of the Lykov family's settlement in Russia
The Lykov family (Russian: Лыков, romanized: Lykov) is a Russian family of Old Believers.[1] The family of six spent 42 years in partial isolation from human society in an otherwise uninhabited upland of Abakan Range, in Tashtypsky District of Khakassia (southern Siberia). Since 1988, only one daughter, Agafia, survives. In a 2019 interview, Agafia explained how locals were in contact with the family through the years and, in the 1950s, there was a newspaper article about their family.[2]
Their story became well known following the 1994 publication of Lost in the Taiga: One Russian Family's Fifty-Year Struggle for Survival and Religious Freedom in the Siberian Wilderness by journalist Vasily Peskov.[3]
