Anybody got any idea on what i should put inside a russiuan hut?

Was thinking of a barrel and some boxes table, chair, possibly a tin batch and perhaps some sort of heater/wood burning stove?

Also anyone any ideas about the floor surface just plain soil or sawdust type of covering. I would make the assumption that they would not have anything else of any real carpet (bit obviously) but what about some sort of ex-blanket or a rudimentary rug?

Just had another thought as it's a log cabin type of affair, would they have any sort or colouration on the outside, I would guess not but who knows.

You should look for reference pics using the google advanced functions.
Put "Izba" and look for the pages written in russian:

Frenchy I think you must be the most helpful person on here!

I guess I will have to start scratch building the furniture!
I have not seen much sutible stuff around, most of the comercial stuff seems to be too good for this style of building!

I'm not sure but your right they did have some massive ovens in what looks like small buildings. just the thing to keep the cold russian winter out.
