Nina Kutina, a forty -year -old Russian woman who was found in an isolated forest cave in Karnataka, was saved on July 9 by a police team from Gokarna. Her two daughters Preya (6) and Ama (4) were also saved by police officers.
Details of how Kutina and her daughters managed to survive in a dangerous cave in the wooded Ramatirtha Hill area in Gokarna for almost two weeks.
Their life in the forest
The trio traveled from Russia to India on a business visa and arrived in the sacred coastal city of Gokarna via Goa. The family eventually moved deep into the forest, where it created a natural cave its home in the middle of a dense forest and steep terrain.
According to the PTI report, Kutina revealed that she lived peacefully with her two young children and spent days painting, singing and reading books.
She described her life in the cave and said, “We woke up with the sun, floated in rivers and lived in nature. I cooked on a fire or gas cylinder depending on the season and got food from a nearby village. We painted songs, read books and lived peacefully.”
She also claimed that the news had distorted their lives. “Everything that shows about us on TV is false. I have videos and photos that show how clean and happy our lives before,” she said.
Kutina Homeschooted their children
Kutina said she trained them in the field of art and Russian literature and that she personally educates her children. “They are very smart, healthy and talented. Anyone who meets them says,” she added, adding that her children attended school, but in the future there will be formally home official documents.
Traveled in 20 countries acquired by the production of arts, music videos
Kutina said PTI that she was four years old and has been traveling for the last 15 years. “I have been to about 20 countries over the past 15 years. All my children were born in various places. I released them all alone, without hospitals or doctors, because I know how to do it. No one helped me, I did it myself,” she said.
The Russian woman said she earned art and music videos and sometimes teaches or guarded. “I make money in all these activities. And if I don’t have any job if I can’t find anyone who needs what I can offer, then my brother, my father or even my son helps me. So we always have enough money to do what we need.”
Why didn’t she go home to Russia?
When asked why she did not return to Russia, Kutina replied: “There are many complicated reasons. First, there were several personal losses – not only my son’s death, but also several other close people. We were constantly dealing with grief, paperwork and other problems.”

She said she traveled to four other countries and then returned to India “Because we love India deeply – her environment, her people, everything”. Kutina confirmed that she is now in contact with the Russian embassy, which helps her family.
The answer to the concerns of her current state, Kutina said, “Now we are kept in an unpleasant place. It’s dirty, there’s no privacy, and we only get ordinary rice to eat. Many of our things were taken, including the ashes of my son who died nine months ago.”
A former husband is looking for a shared custody
Kutin’s ex -husband, an Israeli citizen, demands shared care for his daughters and says he wants to be a father.
“I just want to see my daughters several times a week and take care of them too. I’m afraid that if they go to Russia now, it will be harder to stay with them. So I wish they could stay in India,” Goldstein said July 16.
Dor Goldstein (38), who said he had lived almost six months a year in Goa, said he had lived separately from the Kutina in the last few years and that he “lost a touch” with them when she took daughters and left Goa a few months ago.
“I managed to find them on the beach in Gokarna, but Kutina refused to let me be with her children because I no longer live with them,” Goldstein added.
He said he met Kutina in Goa around 2017 and were together, traveled between India and Ukraine until they divided.
