Lapina Valentina, 56 outside her dilapidated house in Ivanovka village. Lapina and her husband left the village in 1995 to look for work. Her parents were still living in the house. But upon her return in 2000, she found her parents had died and the house had been ransacked. She and her husband Nikolai now live in desperate poverty and are unable to fix the house or even buy simple things like bread and milk.
