Durakovo (translated as "Village of Fools") is a village in Russia, 150 miles south-east from Moscow.

History

Durakovo is a 400-acre agricultural settlement that developed on a foundation of state farming of beets and cabbage. The village was named, according to local legend, when one aristocrat won it from another in a card game called “Fools”. The Durakovo region is home to artists, priests, businessmen, and farmers — all who recently would have witnessed the birth and growth of human industry, prosperity, and sobriety due to the creation of a residential treatment center for alcoholic men. The center, also named Durakovo, is a twelve-step focused vocational and residential treatment program for individuals with alcohol and drug addictions; residents’ ages range from 15 to 67.

Documentary

In 2008, Nino Kirtadze realized a documentary film entitled "For God, Tsar and the Fatherland" (alternative title: "Durakovo: Village of Fools"), regarding the rehabilitation centre from Durakovo, patronized by Russian Orthodox philanthropist Mikhail Morosov.
