In the spring of 2008 the village craftsmen of Nikola-Lenivets realized their first project without the direct involvement of Nikolay Polissky (he merely gave them the idea). In the snow in the graveyard beside the Church of St Nicholas they planted large black wooden rooks in a kind of pantomime on the theme of Aleksey Savrasov’s cult painting ‘The Rooks have Returned’.
