YUKHOVICHI, Belarus (Reuters) - Tamara and Yuri Baikov knew it was time to move away from their village when one of their ducks wandered into a neighbour's plot of land, only to return with a wire deliberately threaded through its beak.

Since then, the husband and wife have lived for more than a quarter of a century in a primitive hut in a forest in northeastern Belarus, close to the Russian border.
