A student sent me a link to this article today. It's from Smithsonian Magazine about a family in remote Russia that was so far removed from society for over 40 years that they were not even aware that World War II had occurred. I will not attempt to do the story justice here, just check out the article. There is also a link to a Russian documentary about their lives at the end of the article.
