Uminur Kuchukova, 61, could have retired years ago, but she continues to teach at this dying
Russian village's once bustling school for the sake of its last pupil, a 9-year-old boy.
Like thousands of villages dotted across
Russia, the remote Siberian village of Sibilyakovo emptied after the closure of its state-run collective farm following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet planned economy.
Kuchukova has taught at the school for 42 years.
