Mikhail and Panaila Belopavlinnye.
We have been living permanently in our Kin’s Domain named “Belopavlinnoe” in the “Milyonki” Settlement in the Kaluga region since 2008. Here’s a brief introduction about us:
Mikhail Belopavlinny, Greek surname – Armanidis. Born in 1984 in Leningrad (St. Petersburg now), we then lived in Georgia for a while, and later moved to Greece. I was 10 years old at that time. At the age of 17, I met Panaila at school. I graduated from Greek school and entered a music institute on the island of Corfu. I didn’t finish my studies at the institute due to moving to Russia to live in a Kin’s Domain.
Panaila Belopavlinnaya, Greek surname – Avididi. Born in a village in Kazakhstan. At the age of 12, she moved to Greece with her family. In Greece, she received a designer degree. She worked for a while, designing window displays for clothing stores of famous brands.
We first came to Russia in 2008 with the goal of finding a settlement where we would live permanently. We travelled to 11 settlements across Russia. Ultimately, we returned to the very beginning of our journey, to the “Milyonki” settlement. We have been living here permanently ever since.
Now, I would like to talk about the most important thing. When I first met Panaila in Athens, we were 16-17 years old. At that time, we had no idea what we wanted from life, no clear aspirations, no cherished dream. We were drifting along the current, not knowing where exactly we headed.
Some time later, I got the books of V. Megre, at that time there were only a few of them in a Russian bookstore in Athens. After some time, Panaila also read these books. We began to ponder what we read together, and everything that was missing in our lives appeared. We gained an understanding of what we wanted from life – we wanted to live in a beautiful place, surrounded by like-minded people, alone with nature, to love and care for our garden, to give birth to happy children, so that they would live like this too. A cherished dream appeared – to find this place, to find our homeland among the existing Settlements. A clear aspiration arose to realize this dream as soon as possible. Ultimately, this dream strengthened our union. Shared aspiration for a common bright goal is very important for a couple, it is the most important thing. We made a plan and after several years, we moved to Russia. During these years, before the move, we worked so that we would have enough money for the initial period. We worked a lot, and sometimes it was hard, but the joy of moving towards our goal compensated for all the difficulties.
We had fantasized about a beautiful place where people in beautiful dresses and shirts with kind and wise eyes would greet us. These people would come out to meet us with accordions and songs, and beautiful children with thoughtful eyes would be running around. Behind these people would rise towers with carved platbands, drowning in the lush bloom of gardens. We truly believed in this, because some of the settlements we planned to visit at that time were already 10 years old. What can’t you do in a settlement over so many years – that’s what we thought.
While visiting settlements, we hid from people our shock at how much their settlement didn’t meet our expectations. We comforted each other by saying that the next one would definitely be right, the one, ours. But the more time we traveled, the more clearly we realized that all the settlements were a version of today’s reality, today’s level of awareness and worldview of the people who created today’s settlements. The difference between today’s settlements and the settlements of the glorious Vedrussians, which were described in the books, was, of course, huge. We were not met in dresses, at best – in camouflage. We didn’t see towers and gardens, but we saw several dozen types of sheds. In each settlement, we met at least one Domain where people surpassed others in the speed of developing their plot. These people often had very beautiful places, they served as an example to the rest – we saw it.
Finally a realization dawned on us – the settlement of our dreams won’t be handed to us. We haven’t done anything in our lives that deserves such a gift! The settlement of our dreams lives within us and waits for us to materialize it on the land we choose. Only then can we truly gift it to our children. This will be a truly significant act. We decided to return to the “Milenki” settlement, which we liked the most, and start creating our Kin’s Domain, the way we envision it, to match the beautiful image depicted in the books. If we stay on the right path, people living around us will see the beauty and want to adorn their own spaces. We also want to serve as an example, like those beautiful estates we encountered. We are striving for this now and will continue to do so!
We now believe that the most important task at the moment is to create exemplary Kin’s Domains. These domains should showcase the beautiful life of a person on earth, as self-sufficient, healthy, talented, and successful in all endeavors as possible. Let there be an image of a happy family living on their land. And let this image be true to reality, something every neighbor can confirm. Let them serve as an example to everyone who is ready to believe that good prevails on Earth!
We will strive to make the “Belopalvinnoe” Kin’s Domain one of them.
