He lives where other people are banned from entering. The Gavrilov Islands in the Barents Sea are the territory of numerous bird colonies, a contrast between night silence and a daytime squall of seagulls and cair. To ensure that the birds are not disturbed, the caretaker of the Kandalaksha Reserve watches over them. Nikolay Eliseev has been living here, at the end of the world, for more than 40 years. He keeps records of birds and animals. But he doesn’t go on an inspection of the islands often - it’s hard for a small motor boat to resist the power of the Northern Sea Route, where ocean dry cargo ships pass. Strangely enough, in his Pomeranian seclusion, Nikolay managed to even meet Valentina Tolkunova. And he has a lot of other stories.
