Among the Altai Mountains, at the junction of the borders of Russia, Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan, at an altitude of about two kilometers above sea level, there is a village called Kosh-Agach. People here live almost the same way as their distant ancestors - they are engaged in cattle breeding, hunting and fishing. In winter, they heat stoves in 50-degree frosts, and in summer they pick berries and nuts. Almost without paying attention to the incredible beauty around. Civilization is a rare guest here. And the residents of Kosh-Agach are quite happy with this. However, one day, seven years ago, major construction began here. And in the mountain valley, hundreds of huge solar panels suddenly appeared. And in 2014, one of the most powerful solar power plants in Russia was launched in a little-known mountain village. However, despite such a neighborhood, the main question that these days faces the inhabitants of Kosh-Agach is where to get a truckload of firewood cheaper, on the eve of another cold winter. *** Subscribe to CURRENT TIME.DOC - / currenttimedoc
