Russia's open-air museums show us wooden buildings from long ago. One very famous museum is Kizhi, on a beautiful island in Lake Onega (Onezhskoye) in Karelia. But there are many others.

"Spotlight on Russia visits museums in Malye Karelie and Vitoslavitsy near Novgorod."
Let's read a small article (статью)
Here we are at Malye Karelie, near Arkhangelsk.
This is a typical izba. It's a small wooden country house with just one or two rooms. The family room is a bedroom, kitchen and living room al in one. There isn't a bathroom, but there is a wooden sauna (banya) outside.
This is the 'beautiful corner (krasny), with the family icon and a special table for guests.
Now we're at Vitoslavlitsy. Let's look inside the 1882 'Ryshevo' izba.
There is a large clay oven (pech') in a corner near the door. There are sleeping benches (polaty) above the oven.
There are low benches along the other walls, one or two tables, and a cupboard for dishes.
Let's do a small test.
