Jutta Jacobi and Julia Solovieva:
"Drei Schwestern von Kutschelappy"
Three Sisters of Kutshelapy
Jutta Jacobi and Julia Solovieva interviewed three sisters in modern Russia about their dreams and ideas of success in life.
They grew up in a rural area during the Soviet era and their ideals are astonishingly timeless. Unlike the three sisters in Chekhov's play, two of them succeeded in building new lives for themselves.

"Drei Schwestern von Kutschelapy" (Three Sisters of Kutshelapy) describes their separate journeys, which begin in a village in the province of Vyatka. One of the journeys leads all the way to Germany. And we hear the stories they heard along the way: stories of love, loss, and faith, of a salad called "Tenderness" and of Vladimir Putin's namesake, of the sorrows of a mother during the disaster of the nuclear submarine Kursk. And of the golden egg laid by Ryaba, the hen.
