Around 600 kilometers from Moscow, Russia's Pskov region has traditionally been a land of striking natural beauty and ancient monuments. It is also home to an ethnic minority – the Setos. Their culture blossomed in the early 20th century, but now the number of Setos is dwindling – no more than 200 remain in Russia.
