Seems after discovery they have had help.

In 2011 the last surving member of family, Agafya wrote a letter to appeal for help as her health was failing.

If I'm not mistaken, at that time their cookware would have been cast iron or tin, as stainless steel was not in widespread use. Aluminum can also become brittle over time. Others probably know more about this than I do. Too bad they didn't have Titanium cookware. cool



Yeah, and have heard of aluminium pots/pans melting over a fire. Think alot of metal pots will fail eventually, and the chances of replacing them if living in isolation is difficult at best.

There are communities out there that make good use of jettisoned pieces of Soviet/Russian rockets that crash to earth in their vicinity. Good scrap metal is hard to come by out there, I presume. However, no telling what kind of toxic materials might remain on those rocket parts. I wouldn't be surprised if a failed "nuclear" powered satellite that crashed is now someone's chicken coop!
