Lovely conversation. I happened to train ride through Siberia a few years back and the forests are wilderness. You understand after 5 days on a train looking out at them how stories of iron shoes being worn down can come to pass. I loved Irina description of her mother giving her things to protect her. The stories live on in these actions. Long live Baba Yaga the untameable!

Those forests sound so mysterious and profound! Also loved Irina's description of her mother adorning her with talismans - so human, as she says ❤️
