The life of the villagers has always been accompanied by hard work. This work was hard because the peasant had to carry out all types of economic work: sowing and growing grain, harvesting, that is, fully conducting his subsistence economy. Accordingly, hard work was the key to a good life for the peasants and their most important quality. The love of work was instilled in peasant children from an early age. The public opinion of the peasants highly appreciated a person who possessed this quality. The village developed its own methods of education. Boys were taught to work from the age of nine. At this age, the boy began to learn different types of work, including crafts. He was taught to plow, sow, mow, take care of animals, as well as weave sandals and other products, process wood and leather. At the age of 20, the young man became a full-fledged worker in the family. As for the girls, they studied home crafts from the age of eleven. Already at the age of eighteen, it was necessary for a girl to be able to spin, weave, sew, embroider, as well as work in the field, bake bread and cook. Doll height 28cm
