«Milenki» is a prosperous kin's settlement where more than 100 families live. We have already talked about it in detail: about the history of its foundation, how public life is organized in it, and about holidays in the settlement. What has happened in Milenki over the past couple of years?
One of the main vectors of development of the settlement in recent years has been the popularization of an environmentally friendly lifestyle and the idea of creating kin’s domains. Most of the settlers have been living on their land for more than 10 years; their domains are thriving and can serve as an example for those who are just thinking about moving to their own Space of Love. Therefore, each of the residents of the settlement, to the best of their ability, organize events where they can tell guests more about the way of life in the kin’s domain.
For example, residents of nearby cities and remote regions come on excursions to the Belopavlinnoye and Medovoye domains. Among the visitors are both adults and children, who can learn how a prosperous farm is organized, try eco-products, and ask any questions.

Herbalist Maria Dyachenko participates in numerous festivals and fairs dedicated to eco-products, and talks there about how various herbs affect health and well-being. She has also been conducting the «Magic World of Herbs» seminar in her domain for several years. There, she introduces guests to more than 50 wild plants, talks about plants’ properties, teaches guests to distinguish different herbs, and prepares delicious teas and dishes from wild plants.
Vladimir Borisov, who has lived with his family in «Milenki» since 2010, is a guslar musician who himself creates gusli from valuable wood, and also organized the musical group «Vataga Tripolye». This musical group records their own songs inspired by traditional folk music, performs popular melodies on the gusli, and performs at festivals and holidays.

The Krutikov family is famous in «Milenki» and among guests of the settlement for its delightful vegetable garden. Seeds and seedlings from the Krutikov domain are bought by people from all over the world. In addition, the family independently breeds new types of plants - for example, the Krutikovs’ son Svetich grew «melo-cucumber», a melon of an unusual shape and taste that resembles a cucumber. The Krutikovs are also engaged in beekeeping, and the father of the family, Yuri, makes amazing jewelry from walnut shells.
These and many other residents of the settlement are known far beyond its borders. They star in programs on central television, telling a huge audience about how they found their calling after moving to the kin’s domain. Thanks to such active and enthusiastic settlers, more and more new families are deciding to create their own Space of Love - in the «Milenki» or in one of the thousands of settlements around the world.
