John Kopiski, a native of the #UK, is an unlikely farmer. He's been the proud owner of a dairy farm not far from Moscow for some 20 years. The former business executive with no background in farming decided to pursue a completely new life after visiting Russia back in the 90’s. After converting to Orthodoxy and marrying a Russian, he gradually morphed into an archetypical #farmer worthy of a Tolstoy novel.

* Correction:
The cows on John Kopiski's farm produce not just 1.5 tonnes of milk per day, but a whopping 50 tonnes.
