In Khakassia, two rescue teams were searching for 81-year-old monk Agafia Lykov due to a week-long lack of communication.
The reason for the silence turned out to be a fault with the satellite phone, which has already been fixed.
Agafia Likova reported that she is alive, healthy and continues to do housework. No traces of bears, whose activity had caused an alarm in the past, were found near the compound.
The monk is the last representative of the Old Believers of the Western Saiyans, where her family has lived in total isolation since 1937.
