Land as psychopolitical body

These days, I spend a lot of my time in a remote Russian village with almost no Internet (but there is great reception in an abandoned sovkhoz field nearby, which is how you’re getting this email).

When I’m not here, I spend a lot of my time looking at ads for old houses in other villages. This is fueled by a recent realization: if I had land, I could build all kinds of things on it. This simple idea brought many others with it, and now they’re arranging into a vision of “psychopolitical living” on land.
