Recordist's notes
We are walking near a beautiful lake in the village of Priozyorniy. It is unusually hot and the few inhabitants of the village are at home. Birds can be heard as well as our steps in the dry grass. There was a manor in the village, which became an asylum in the 1930s. Just a few years ago, it was a home for several mentally disabled women. However, the asylum was closed. At the time, the manor is empty and gradually becoming dilapidated.
About the place
Valday is a town of about 18,549 people in Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
