For a Russian forest has always been home. Wood was perceived as a living being, organism, living according to certain laws. Inscribing the laws of the forest, Slav knew "academy" of nature and because he had everything necessary for man happiness. Forest fed, warmed, sheltered, comforted, treated, tempered, develop skills and feelings. This forest has brought in people treated equally to the spiritual and material, let them know about the extent and beauty. The Russian people never wanted to build houses and temples in perpetuity, it is unnatural in relation to nature. Forest, land, river and created the house served as much as nature allows. Exhausted land, forest prompted to move to another place. House after the man turned to ashes and once again become a forest. Mighty beauty of the Russian forest harboring not only animals but birds, but also our ancestors, relatives of the fiercest enemies with fire and sword burst into a fertile forest and the abode of man. Wood speaks to us, even when silent, fills us with unspeakable wise silence. He revives Russian soul world view.
