Inside Siberia’s isolated community of forgotten women 3 hours ago Share this with Facebook Share this with Messenger Share this with Twitter Share this with Email Share Image copyright ODED WAGENSTEIN In the remote village of Yar-Sale, in Northern Siberia, lives a group of elderly women. Once part of a nomadic community of reindeer herders, in their old age they spend most of their days in seclusion, isolated from the world they loved.

Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid. There's no hiding in my memory. There's no room to avoid. The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.
