TOUR PROGRAMME
What Is an Ethnic House?
This Ethnic House is in the old village of Novaya Bryan, which was founded by the Old Believers.
It is a six-walled house built of logs in the 18th century without a single nail. It is a place where the keepers of the Old Faith lived.
Old Believers' Utensils and Way of Life
The Old Believers built their houses for a full due. A house was built in such a way that not only
one generation could have lived in it in the truest sense of the word. For those people the house
was not only the place to spend the night, but something more important. It was a whole world
and its significance was really great. This house let the entire generation survive, give birth to
babies, bring them up and raise them, care for elders, preserve their authentic culture and hand
down their handicraft to a younger generation. Surprisingly, from 10 to 15 people lived in this
old-time house.

Russian Oven as the Heart of the House
You will see a true mud oven. It is the heart of the house. You will be invited to enjoy fresh
griddle cakes baked in it! If you like, you can take part in the griddle cake workshop! In addition,
it is something that brings us back to our childhood memories since lots of modern adults grew
up next to a Russian oven and everyone listened to Russian fairy tales, the Russian oven being
one of their characters.
Having visited the Ethnic House, you will be surprised by the fact how great was the role of the
oven in the life of the Slavs.
