旅人る - Tabibito

 

Demyansk

 

Remote village in Novgorod oblast. Demyansk had the status of a city twice (in the Middle Ages and 1824-1927) and was stripped of this status twice. Despite the fierce battles around this area in 1942-1943, there are few old buildings left. First of all, this is a very representative town council.

 

The local museum.

 

Chapel dedicated to the liberation of peasants from serfdom and "the best place for selfie". In March 2022 Instagram social network was blocked in Russia and its insignia have been declared "extremist". Nobody cares.

 

River Yavon'.

 

Classic Tabby cat. Judging by his torn ears, he is an avid duelist.

 

Getting in (as of July 2022): The road from Valday (M-10 highway) is not bad, but not good either. Few direct buses to Velikiy Novgorod and one bus a day to St. Petersburg.
