A person dwelling in a poustinia.

Examples

“It is difficult to simply relate this man, and other poustiniki that I came to know through my lifetime, with what is called a "hermit." There was some kind of difference. The poustinik seemed to be more available. There was a gracious hospitality about him, as if he were never disturbed by anyone who came to visit him.”
