[www.keralites.net] Moscow in the Smoke

Moscow in the Smoke

Set in a clearing in the midst of a thick forest, it had been just a matter of time before the winds changed direction and started fanning the flames towards the cluster of wooden houses.

As the fires took hold, gas cylinders used in each home for cooking started exploding.

"It took just 20 minutes for a house to burn down," said Alexei, whose family live in the village.

"People only managed to take their passports and other documents; there wasn't time to take anything else."

Located 80 miles (130km) south-east of Moscow, half the village is now in ruins, looking like the site of a ferocious battle.

The scorched metal remains of beds, chairs and sledges, lie in deep piles of warm ash.
