Old and new. In the background a traditional log house with thatched roof, storks’ nests, and pre-Christian sun symbol on the gable; in the left foreground the homeowners’ hothouse for growing cucumbers to export to the Russian market. A boom in hothouses and cucumber exports was key to a sharp rise in prosperity in this part of the Pripet Marshes (Polesia). Since export market for cucumbers now appears to have peaked, many of the ever-enterprising people of the Central Pripet region are planning to switch to other produce.
