A pensioner Lyubov Morekhodova lives on the Khaly farm, which is located on Lake Baikal. She is already 76 years old, and every day she skates. And not at all because he goes in for sports. She has her own story.
Every day, Russian pensioner Lyubov Morekhodova ties skates to her boots to run 8 kilometers on them - 4 kilometers in one direction and the same amount back. “My skates were released in 1943. But can you imagine how hefty? Well done then! And when the wind is fair, I will open my coat like a sail and fly,”says the 76-year-old woman. According to her, while skating, she does not even feel the usual pains in the back, only it is a little scary to fall and break her face if the skate falls into the gap in the ice. Then a serious injury is definitely inevitable.
True, Baba Lyuba does not skate because of her love of sports. Ice skating for her is the only way to get out of her farm and get where she needs to. But Lyubov Morekhodova does not complain about difficulties.
She worked all her life. First, she worked as a punch operator at an enterprise that produced iron beds with a carapace mesh, then she began working as a welder, and after graduating from a technical school, she became a process engineer. Even today she does not sit with folded hands, knitting warm things for her grandchildren or drawing in the evenings. The son often comes to visit, so they celebrated the new house for Baba Lyuba, chopped firewood for the winter.
Lyubov Morekhodova does not plan to move from her farm on the shore of Lake Baikal. She has a farm, cows. And also such a harsh, but incredibly beautiful Baikal.
