Community agreement for "Settlement Vedrussia"
Published 19/11/2013

Purpose: 

Create a "Space of Love" so that fills the soul with joy at the sight of it, to live forever as Love it wanted. Love that embraces all: You, Family, People, Nature.

To the target path was shorter response we keep to one another and to their conscience:

[Offered translation:  The quick path to achieve what we want is to have clear communication and honourable relationships with one another, and to uphold these agreements in good conscience.]

1. For cleanliness of land, water and air in this space.

2. For the fertility of the soil and the ways leading to it.

3. For the life of animals, of which going to start. Think first: what you are. That life with you bring them? And will the neighbors in the joy of this cohabitation?

[Offered translation: Think about the animals you want... Do you actually need them for the "dream" you hold for your land? What quality of life will you give them? What quality of life will they have? Will your neighbours enjoy living beside the animals you want on your land?]

4. For those habits, koi are harmful to our health. It is better to get rid of them. Himself for the benefit and for the benefit of the people.

[Note: I'm not sure what 'koi' is. Could it be "carp" (fish) ?? ]


Who burden responsible said, let her wait for hours outside our communities, because the time for all of their own.

[Offered translation:  Everyone comes to their family estate in their own good time, when they are ready. Feel no guilt or responsibility for not being there yet. You still have lessons to learn before this happens for you.]


On the way to dreams and to the objectives of our possible disputes. And here it is time to say pure thoughts. The harmony of all the senses, energy and emotion - their completeness and balance one that creates peace and joy around, love and respect. Kohl is there - the thoughts are pure.

[Offered translation: On the way to our dreams for our life on the land, there may be possible disputes with others. If this happens, simply allow "pure thoughts" to always reside in your heart and be expressed - in balance, hamony, in all of your senses, in feelings of the energies flowing through you, and in your emotions. Let the things in dispute be resolved in a balanced way - in a way that continues to allow peace, joy, love and respect all around. "Kohl" [not sure. this is what I feel from the word]: Resolution remains within you for apeaceful settlement when your thoughts are pure.]


The unity of the two faces: the families and the family estate to our homeland creates descendants. With the birth of the perfection of knowing they will be able to a communication experience with the universe, the big affinity with small, transient with prebuduschim forever. And bring the world of beauty, love and goodness, multiplying them from generation to generation.


We combine the power of our, good, love and understanding of the world and of forgotten ancestors will return to their repentance in the soul to return to the planet of our garden blossom, fill it again radiance of love and perfection.



Before creation, it will be reasonable:

- Aim to determine the possible consequences of achievements, advantages and disadvantages of it, as is the case for the people will respond, and are now living descendants. Whether or demolish bring harmony.

- Designate the desired time-bound targets; sub-goals, if the accomplishment of great.

- Agree on who is responsible to all men [and women] for the achievement of the desired goal. For the money it will work, or deemed for the joy of his power to fill a movement common to the dream - you need to agree to the satisfaction of everyone, the consequences of checking on Conscience and Mind.

- After contemplating the imminent creation, determine what tools are needed for it, and where to find them.


Common Code (principles of good neighborliness)

• We create a family estate settlement (PDP), where every inhabitant settlement can equip their ancestral homes (RP), as described in the books "Ringing Cedars of Russia" series.
• Family estate is inviolable property of its founder and his family and their descendants. Family estate created for the recovery of its founder Rod, and consolidation of land as a small country for his family.
• We are happy to help each other in the creation of a new happy life style, as well as contribute to the appearance of RP settlements.
• The Council of settlements "Sinegorye-Vedrussiya" - is organizing an actuator:

- Legal support of the development of settlements
- The distribution of resources for the settlement of all participants on the principle of equality and justice
- Holding joint events and environmental activities
- Reception guests

• Settle in the Republic of Poland, people in co-creation with the Divine Nature can best fulfill its purpose as a son of the earth-mother and her creator-God.
• The compound of three points, three senses, the three planes of existence for conception, gestation and birth of children in the space of the Republic of Poland, it is possible and necessary.
• Parenting starts with educating yourself. Educating children to respect parents, elders and its kind includes working parents initially on themselves, striving to be an example for children (helping to approach the divine way of life).
• The main indicator of the culture we understand the maintenance and development of the purity and harmony of nature. Recreating the soil and the natural balance, the recovery of seed stock, creating a self-sufficient ecosystem in each RP to fully meet the needs of families living on it.
• Neighbourhood is one of the most important principles of mutual relations in the settlement. Since the neighbors are attracted to us without reason, look into them, like in the mirror, see themselves and their actions.
• On the other, do as you want them to do to you. Help, than you can - in a word, deed, thought. Welcome - the main measure of the relationship.
• The content of the main animals should be the principle of "we are responsible for those we have tamed." The responsibility for the behavior of animals in the settlement are their owners.

What is the family estate?

( Excerpts from the book Megre "Creation" )

Please choose thee of all places on earth your friendly, you'll like the place. The place where you want to live. In which children could wish for, and their live their lives. And their grandchildren you will be a good memory. In the climate of a place for you to be favorable. At the point in the century, one hectare of land currently take.

What actions could be yours when you are on their land will stand?

Fence

Instead, a plurality of pillars, subsequently decaying trees to plant. plant bushes impassable between them. What a beautiful fence can get. All of it will be a little different. And everyone will enjoy the sight. And remember the centuries creator nice fence descendants will, and for the repair of their time will not distract the fence and bring benefit. Not only as a fence is a function of it. One need to make the fence of birches growing in number. Another oak. And someone in the creative impulse of color, like a fairy tale, make the fence.

Colorful trees planted. Birches, maple, and oak, and cedar. Vpletёt rowan tree with clusters, glowing red color between them still jailed and viburnum. Cherries, lilacs will provide a place. After all you can think originally. Watch everyone needs as it grows in height, as the blooms in spring, the smell and the public to itself attracts birds. And your fence will be singing, fragrant, and your eyes will never tire, every day changing the halftone his paintings. It flowers in spring bloom, the blaze of autumn color.

To quickly project conceived to embody in life may plow a furrow along the perimeter of the site to dig, and put the plants in it.Once all the plants and seeds to plant a bush that you have decided to plant the trees. Then plow again next go and fill the earth. When else will not rammed earth, correct, align the ticker in each of the seedlings.


Lot  [Which plot of land?]

Intuitively, one can feel that would be appropriate, and children and grandchildren bring joy to him. Unified planning can not be.It is individual as the creator-artist is a great picture. It is at everyone.

Land on our wasteland.

Vacant lot enclosed by a living fence. More three-quarters il half zaymёm come under forest, plant a different tree in it. At the edge of the forest, with the remaining land that adjoins, plant a hedge of shrubs such, that did not pass through them, animal and vegetable garden with crops trampled. In the forest of seedlings alive, planted close to each other, erecting a corral, where then will live, for example, goat il two. More from seedlings and prepare to build a shelter for chickens-laying hens.

In the garden dig a shallow pond , the size of hundreds of two.

Among the forest trees, bushes of raspberries and currants planted along the edge of the strawberries. Back in the woods, and then, when the trees grow up a little, three empty deck to put the bees among the branches. of trees Arbor will land where you are with friends or with children, sheltered from the heat, you can communicate. And prepare to build a bedroom summer live, and your creative workshop. And a bedroom for the children and a guest.

Between the trees, bushes, think how to apply them to the delights of his life. But trees do not allow grasses and bushes grow between them, and this you can consider for your future home living. You all need to ask how to program and adjust it to taste her. Cherish, delight you, your children, and all that is in the county by the host site, nurture and feed.

Vegetable garden too, can be done so that it will not bother you much. Here you need to just watch. Between herbs like everything growing in the forest could grow cotton and vegetables, the finest tomatoes, cucumbers. Their taste is much more pleasant you will benefit more than bring the body when there is not a bare land.

There are generally useless in nature, and no unwanted weeds. No beetles and injuring a man.

How can every year in the same place stubbornly plowing, harrowing the ground? Like a wound unhealed pull scrapers, while demanding that the grace of healing grows up. Colorado beetle or grasshoppers to the area that you paint, we do not touches.When in harmony grows up all the great, the harmonious and fruit growers are.


House

Not worth the effort too much to spend and build a house big and too durable.

Grandchildren when vzrastut, make sure you understand what kind of material for the house of all the earth pomyslennyh for them nicer, stronger and more useful will. And you have now no such material. Grandchildren build a wooden house of the trees that they planted more grandfather, and my father and mother loved. That house is to treat, protect from evil spirits and inspire them to become brighter. The great energy of love in that house will live.


love space

Not fastidious love and obstinate, it tends to divine creation. Forever can warm the person who co-create a space of love with her consent.

Love the space - it is first for the two to be born, then for their children. And children through the three planes of existence will link with the universe entire.

He and she will love to carry out a project that we draw. Plant trees generic, grass, garden. And rejoice, as they are the creation of the spring bloom. Love will live forever between them, in their hearts around. And each will represent each other in spring bloom, remembering with a tree that bloomed, planted. And the taste of raspberry taste of love is remembrance. He is in love to each other branches of autumn raspberries concerned.

The garden is lovely shaded mature fruit. A garden planted with he and she. They planted a garden of love.


Children

Even before birth because formed in many people. And his education with all creation space should contact. That, taken advantage of God, to do his beautiful creations, and his son should not be neglected. The three main points , the first three planes of being, parents should submit his Creation.

That is the first point of a person's birth, her name - parent thought.

Planting family tree by parents of future first point determines the world call upon to help them for the creation of the future is the point. It is needed! It is important! And most of all it is inherent to God! It is the proof that you are going to do like him! He, the Creator of the Great! And he will enjoy the meaningfulness of his son and his daughter.

Second point , or rather, the plan is another human is born, the sky will light a new star, when in love, and with thoughts of the beautiful creations of two bodies merge into a single place where you build a house you paradise and live for the future of their child.

Then in the place nine months to live shall conceive a wife. And it is better if these months are spring flowering, the fragrance of summer, autumn fruits. Where other than joy, pleasant sensations, nothing it does not distract. Where the sound of a divine creation surround his wife, which really lived a beautiful creation. He lives and the entire universe feels himself. And to see the future stars of the mother should. And all the stars and all the planets in mind to give him, his beautiful baby, the mother can easily do it all, she is still a force. And yet the thought of the mother followed without delay. And space is a faithful servant in love two beautiful creations.

And the third point , the new plan in place should get. Where the child was conceived, there are birth and should happen. And next to be the father. And over the three of exalt the crown of the great Father who loves us all.


birthplace

This is a place with great joy met you used. Kohl flesh of your sick, it would be cured flesh. Kolya's soul - the soul cured. And feed, drink tired you. Embracing the dream a calm and joyous daybreak awakened. But like many people, living on earth today, you have no such place. There is your homeland, where planes of being can come together.

Life goes on, and everyone is given a wonderful lifestyle to create any moment.

It would be the elderly, the children of his apology. And sincerely apologize for the fact that a world without troubles they have failed to provide. For dirty water, with the air opaque.

And let the real hand of an aging house alive and begin to build a children matured. Extend the life of the days of the old men, as soon as such an idea they would be born. And when a homeland to touch the elderly, and children to return to him his hand.And let the house can not fully grow old, but can their children at home to bury her, thus they help to revive again. In the grove, with their hand-set. A man-made monuments they do not need. After all, the memory of them will serve as everything around.And every day to remind them not sadly - joyfully everything around you will be. And kind of immortal will be yours, because only the memory of the good returns on the ground of the soul.

Answer: Do people have to pay rent for the land, after 5 years?

This article follows on from yesterday's article entitled:
Question: Do people have to pay rent for the land, after 5 years?

Image - Settlement "Kuzminovskaya Sloboda"

Here is a reply from Yuri Smirnov who lives in Russia, dated May 5, 2016. This helps ourselves in the rest of the world understand what the Russian system is  :)  Yuri says:

"There is no rent to pay on the free land at all. Here we better use another word - "land tax". Usual land tax will be charged after 5 years of land use. It is not big money - about 0.3 % of the official cost of the land per year for the land entitled [designated] for agricultural purposes."

+ + + + +

Please click on the link to see quotations from Russian news media and politicians stating that there may be "rent" to pay on the "Far hectare" properties.
https://humanitytakebackyourland.blogspot.co.nz/2016/06/question-do-people-have-to-pay-rent-for.html

This word "rent" was derived from Google Translate, as all of these original sources were published in the Russian language. Therefore, this is a classic case of key ideas being "Lost in translation" !! Most definitely !!

(Sorry about that Yuri. I should have come straight to you first. I'll know for next time something 'strange' appears in Google Translate!)  :)

What Google Translate needed to say was "Land Tax" or "Rates". We would call this "Rates" here in New Zealand and probably by other names in different countries. From reading other articles in the Russian language we find this "Land Tax" may be lifted entirely from the "kins domains" in Russia - which is probably also why there's some hesitation in the local Russian news reports of there being any "land tax" (aka "rent") at all !!  That's probably because, right now, the Russian Duma is deciding on a new law that would make "kins domains" land in Russia, free of any "land tax", because only properties designated "agricultural" pays "land tax".

Article here:
https://humanitytakebackyourland.blogspot.co.nz/2016/06/russia-new-bill-to-define-dachas-as.html

Image - Settlement "Kuzminovskaya Sloboda"


How wonderful !!!  Especially for people who are already on their kins domain in Russia. This would take one more financial burden off the people who have already settled onto the land. This isn't passed in law yet, but by the way things are developing in Russia, i'm sure it will get passed  :)

The bill put forward in the Duma is about changing the status of these 1 hectare plots from "Agricultural Land" to "Land Settlements". Then there will be no "Land Tax" to pay. I have yet to clarify this point with Yuri, but this is what the Russian article about this bill seems to be saying.

This might be why these Russian language news releases keep saying things like: "Later, after a 5-year period, according to the decision of the authorized body, portion may be transferred to the citizen as a property (for a fee or free) or rented," as seen here:
https://humanitytakebackyourland.blogspot.co.nz/2016/06/question-do-people-have-to-pay-rent-for.html

This translation by Google Translate has created some confusion.
Sorry about that  :(

Here's some more about the new law currently being discussed:
On May 24, 2016 the Bill was still in its first reading. The new legislation (if passed) will change the status of the Russian "kins domains" from "Agricultural" to "Settlement" land  :)  Therefore:  No land tax  :)  Good news !!
https://humanitytakebackyourland.blogspot.co.nz/2016/06/russia-new-bill-to-define-dachas-as.html

Please note:  "Kins domains" to ourselves in the West is called "Patrimony" or "Family Estates" by the Russian readers of the "Ringing Cedars of Russia" books.

Image -  Settlement "Kuzminovskaya Sloboda"


Here is the continuation of the conversation after the following question was raised:
"I am wondering the land is for 5 years free, but after that you have to pay rent?"

I still think it's a conversation worth reading and a perspective worth reflecting upon...  ie: Of people on the "Far hectare" land working in with local authorities with an aim of uplifting the whole Far East region  :)


BronnyNZ Administrator on the Anastasia-Vladimir Megre facebook Page said - It looks like they [the Russian authorities] are undecided. This is a pilot - first trial. So I guess the regional administration will decide if people's produce and handcrafts are bringing enough tourist dollars into the region [for example]. If trade is happening, I suspect the land will stay rent free.


Updated May 5, 2016:  I now understand this is about "land tax" and not "rent". I also now understand that this is not dependent on any "production of goods" whatsoever, but on whether the new law being discussed gets passed or not. My apologies for my wrong assumptions previously. I won't delete the following part of the conversation, as I still think the ideas apply, as Anastasia points out to us in the books. We now see the purpose of such production is more about "education" for the rest of the world - so the rest of the world can find out about the "Ringing Cedars" books - and less about 'revenue gathering' for the Far East administration... although I feel this is still needed, to help build up the region.

Please read the rest of this article on the link below. The discussion continues after the second image on this link:  http://humanitytakebackyourland.blogspot.co.nz/2016/06/question-do-people-have-to-pay-rent-for.html

Question: Do people have to pay rent for the land, after 5 years?

Image - Village near Lake Baikal


This question came up from one of the readers on Facebook Page "Anastasia-Vladimir Megre".  

Question: I am wondering the land is for 5 year free but after that you have to pay rent?


The question arises out of Russian legislation and what we see published in Russian news sources:


Example 1.  See under "Notes" on this weblink. 

(Following is a Google Translate translation, so it might not be 100% accurate in its interpretation.)

4.  With proper use of the land, after five years it can be provided in the property or rent. forest lands are only available for rent, the property is possible after 10 years of lease forest land.


Example 2.  See questions on this weblink. 

(Following is a Google Translate translation, so it might not be 100% accurate in its interpretation.)

Whether land is transferred for an everlasting possession?
If the land is idle and not used for other purposes, after five years of land may be granted to the property. With the exception of forest land - at first only be available for rent. To get into the ownership of the forest, you will need to rent a plot for at least 10 years.

Note:  Perhaps it's only forest land you have to pay rent for.

Example 3.  See Valery Timoshenko in the first paragraph on this weblink. 

(Following is a Google Translate translation, so it might not be 100% accurate in its interpretation.)

Later, after a 5-year period, according to the decision of the authorized body, portion may be transferred to the citizen as a property (for a fee or free) or rented.

Example 4.  Further down, on the same weblink above, it says:

Russian President signed the Law of the Far hectare.

Settle the issue of land to Russians in the Far Eastern Federal District.

A citizen is entitled to receive once the gratuitous [free] use of an area of ​​up to 1 hectare for 5 years in a simplified procedure for the conduct of any activity not prohibited by law. This site belongs to one or the value is not a category of land (except for some of the restrictions provided for forest). After this period and subject to certain conditions land can be issued to the property (whether paid or not) or for rent.

Example 5.  See the third paragraph on this weblink. 

Square [brackets] are this blogger's additions.

(Following is a Google Translate translation, so it might not be 100% accurate in its interpretation.)

The site [land] will be available for free use for five years, then it will be possible to arrange to rent [I think it's always free] or to get the property. Moreover, if the land is not used, it may withdraw [and be given to somebody else].

 Image - When readers of Vladimir Megré's Ringing Cedars of Russia books open the first volume, they come upon the concept of a dacha...

Do you have to pay rent on your "free land"?

I cannot speak for anyone at all, but it appears that the first 5 years are entirely free, then there might be some rental arrangement made (possibly) after that. It looks like this is not decided yet. Here is the continuation of the conversation after this question was raised:  

"I am wondering the land is for 5 year free but after that you have to pay rent?"

It looks like they're undecided. This is a pilot - first trial. So I guess the regional administration will decide if people's produce and handcrafts are bringing enough tourist dollars into the region. If trade is happening, I suspect the land will stay rent free. I made some comments about this yesterday on the blog...  (below)

"The way I see it is this: If people work well on the land and in harmony with it, and produce good surpluses of not only food - organic fruit and vegetables, cheese, nuts, berries, herbs, eggs... and also of folk art, cedar oil, cedar pendants and pine nuts, hand crafts such as pottery, glassware, sculpting, painting, photography, frame-making, candle-making, wrought iron work, electronics, wood-turning, carving, weaving, knitting, dress-making and so on, according to one's gifts and knowledge... then these products can be sold at local farmers' markets where tourists will flock - just as Anastasia said would happen. Tourist will want to see the developments and products of the "Far hectare" properties in Russia. The US Pacific seaboard is very close to the Russian Far East region. Many people from the US and Asia would want to come and take their holidays in the region, once there are enough nice markets, restaurants, dance troupes and adventure tourism ventures up and running. Bulk amounts of good quality surplus produced of non-perishable kind could be shipped abroad from the new port at Vladivostok. This was always part of the government's plan and why they wanted to open up land in the Far East first - because of the accessibility from Vladivostock to dozens of ports throughout the Pacific basin. The items created by the people on "family estates" would be well-received in overseas markets that are currently overwhelmed with mass-produced, cheap plastic items that have little aesthetic appeal. 

Therefore, if the people of the "Far hectare" land request (gift) programme work intelligently and creatively, and continually improve the economic outcomes for the Far East region through using the methods that Anastasia shows us, I feel it is more likely that there will be no rent asked for, in return for the habitation of that land. The tourist dollar being returned to the Far East region by way of taxes, would be payment enough for the use of the land. This is my opinion anyway. If a family can show they are contributing well to the local economy directly and through exporting non-perishable goods they have created, this would make a very good case for continued use of their land free of charge - Would it not? 

One of the considerations of the free "Far hectare" legislation is that the region is genuinely suffering and struggling - economically, in infrastructure that needs to be put in or up-graded, and because of the large numbers of people who have already left the area. The whole of the Far East needs to be built up again, by all accounts. The Ringing Cedars readers who migrate to the Far East can help alleviate these difficulties, by working with the authorities and doing their best, and together co-creating a thriving, wonderful region that all of Russia and all of the world can be proud of. 

We are with you - to whomever is called. We are all in this together. We are only an e-mail, a Skype, or a Facebook post away. We are now a global family. Your pain is my pain. Your struggle is my struggle. Your joy is my joy. Your triumph and success is also my triumph and success. We are all in this together. We work together for the most beneficial outcomes for the whole world - a "garden paradise" where all are able to live free from fear, and as brothers and sisters of each other. That's my thoughts anyway, on paying rent. Work intelligently. Work wisely. And there will be no rent."

Response by Miso:  

But if that happens and so much economy and money come in then possibility of starting the circle of greed for money and economic development, like in modern society, will again come. It will attract those who are already doing that now and destroying our planet and it will possibly infect also those who try honestly to avoid that. That is human nature. What I could understand from books I have red till now, Anastasia wants people to go back to simple living close to nature and not developing any kind of money making machine in the name of economic development. This is what I see about her idea. She wants us to go back to basics and forget about modern style of living. If tourists start to come, if restaurants and hotels start to open, road will start to build and so many other things will be attracted to that and all circle will start again. That's not what we want, we don't want cars, hotels, restaurants and crowd. We want simple living without modern greed and economic development. At least that is what I like and what I read so far in the books Thank you

The answer is "No". There will be no "starting the circle of greed for money and economic development". The Far East region is very under-developed and extremely under-populated. It needs an injection of money into the economy so the administration can even start to build "essential services" such as hospitals and public amenities, and employ people like forest rangers and conservation officers. Currently, the situation is precarious and poaching of fisheries is happening - killing sturgeon for caviar in the Amur River for example - so bringing money into the Far East so the administration can set these services up, is of benefit to all people and animal populations. Please remember... The members of the Duma - the Russian Parliament - have read the Ringing Cedars books. This is very apparent from the fact that laws are being written in direct alignment with what Anastasia says in the books. I'm positive that the ultimate goal will be for "no money" transactions throughout the country. While there is still a global monetary system, this still necessitates the need to keep money in use, for now. If you look at two of my latest articles on the history of the dacha, you will see how people in Russia have a long tradition of trading without money. These things are already in place within the Russian culture and psyche. See these two articles:

Please remember how Anastasia said there would be tourists coming to look at the "Family Estates". This necessitates "buses, restaurants and hotels." There will be crowds... but only in the vicinity of the local shops selling the village's produce and wares -

• a large fruit and vegetable shop (organic)
• a flower and "small" gifts (memorabilia) shop
• some shops selling larger items such as musical instruments, clothing, hats, shoes, woven baskets. blankets, pottery, window coverings and embroidered items - all in a Russian style or typical to that area or settlement. 
• a "hardware" shop where there would be garden tools made by people in the community, organic seeds, plants and saplings, garden ornaments, handmade lattice fencing, wrought iron work, leather craft - saddles, bridles, and such... winter boots and heavy oil-skin coats... 

There would also need to be "eating houses" - 

• at least one type of shop would sell sweet treats, breads and cheeses of a traditional Russian type - plus ice cream to "take out", yoghurt, pastry goods, sweeties, non-alcoholic ginger beer and raspberry cordial - sealed in glass bottles that can be washed and used again... 
• the other type would be "sit down" restaurants serving Russian borscht and other traditional Russian fare and interesting exciting organic-produce salads - sweet fruit salads and savory green leafy ones.

Who would look after these various shops?

By estimation, in a fully-occupied village of 100 families, there would need to be around 5-6 shops and eating houses in the village, open from 10am - 4pm every day for when the buses come through. So in a village with around 300 adults in it (including older teenage children) there would have to be a roster of around 25-30 people every day "employed" (not for money) who take rubles from the tourists. This money would then go directly into future Village developments for the good of everybody.  People could choose how they want to be rostered. eg: "every Monday", or "four days this week and the next three weeks off."

Educating tourists

The 'crowds' will not be allowed to wander around the villages at their own leisure. Buses would drive past very slowly so that tourists could catch a glimpse of the "Ringing Cedars" people working in their gardens, tending beehives, walking along the tree-lined allees, riding horses up and down the wide grassy road-side strips. They would see people milking goats that are tethered at the roadside, or taking children for a "nature study lesson" out on the open ground. Tourists would only be able to catch glimpses of the "Family Estates" in between the berry bushes and fruiting trees that make up the "living fences". Bus drivers would have to be observant to take specified routes in the village. Some residents wouldn't want to see or hear these buses at all. In the 3-4 months over winter, there would be no buses. So all shop work would cease as well.

Allowing tourists to travel through encourages all of the world to come and look at the "family estates". This is to help them understand Anastasia's "dream" and to inspire them to co-create exactly the same circumstances in their own country - in their own state or province - in their own neighbourhood.  It starts with individual people first, whoever is inclined to start using their land in the way that Anastasia talks about.

There are no "saviours".  One must "save" one's self, and become the answer personally to the manifold problems in our world.  Start small... in your own back yard.  And talk to your neighbour and encourage them to do the same. You then have two of you sharing your garden produce.  Put pressure on your local government, or on your nation's government to start passing laws that make it possible for people to get their land back - in exactly the same way that Anastasia says in "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" books. And then all of humanity will together, create a "pristine garden paradise" on Earth, that sustains us all (everybody on earth), generation after generation.

The things Anastasia tells us to do, is a very good plan for all of humanity.
