In this vlog, we walk from Semyonovka, a small village of Molokans in Geghardkunik Province to Lake Sevan and the monastery of Sevanavank, a small peninsular dripping in history.
Semyonovka was founded in 1845, and was home to a persecuted group of Christians called the Molokan. Today, there is not a single Molokan living in Semyonovka.
