They are ready for a catastrophe of a global scale every minute of their lives and are prepared to meet the challenge wherever they are – at home, in the office, or just walking about.

In St. Petersburg alone, there are more than 10,000 getting ready for the End of Days right now, informs Petersburg Business.

Russian survivalists call this speculative catastrophe the SHTF-day. Leaving aside atomic bomb shelters that were built everywhere in the USSR some twenty years ago, 'survivance' as a trend became popular in Russia in the early 2000s, when Russian scientist Valentin Ponomarenko published his ‘Problem 2033.'

I was born in the thirties.

One of the very few advantages of growing old is that
one can reach an age at which he can do as he damn well
pleases within the limits of his purse.

Back in the 70’s there was a problem with the sugar supply. I don’t recall exactly what it was... maybe factories closing or trade. Anyway, I was still finding boxes of stockpiled H&C sugar some 20 years later.

Valentin Ponomarenko was Russia’s big Y2K nut. That would be like listening to World Nut Daily today in the U.S.

Pretty silly.

This probably isn't the exact book your looking for but I've got the entire Foxfire Book Series on my bookshelf.

If you can scare them up they're well worth adding to your collection.

They were actually mentioned in the "Lights Out" novel you gave me the link to.
