Folk figure. Dmitry was one of four children of Karp and Akulina Lykov, a Russian family of Old Believers who spent 42 years in complete isolation from human society in the remote Abakan region of southern Siberia.
Dmitry's siblings were Savin, Natalia, and Agafia (who was born in 1943 and is the only surviving member of this family). Akulina died in 1961 before Karp and the children were discovered in 1978 by a group of geologists. Sadly Savin, Natalia and Dmitry died within a few days of one another in 1981, just three years after being discovered. Then Karp died in 1988, leaving only Agafia. In 1994, a Russian journalist, Vasily Peskov, wrote and published a book: Lost in the Taiga: One Russian Family's Fifty-Year Struggle for Survival and Religious Freedom in the Siberian Wilderness. The book tells the story of the Lykovs (members of a fundamentalist sect of Old Believers), who, in 1932, went to live in the depths of the Siberian Taiga and who survived for more than fifty years apart from the modern world. An article about the Lykov family was written for the Smithsonian online magazine.
