Highlights
This article examines the experiences of infrastructure deficits and changes in bodily practices for older adults in rural areas of South Karelia, Russia, during the COVID-19 pandemic
The ethnographic material on older bodies in Karelia presented in this article, clearly shows how the changes in habitual practices required by the COVID19 pandemic, result in a compressed body: a body locked-up in space, time, and the self
The stories of older adults in South Karelia remind that our bodies do not live in abstract spaces but in meaningful spaces, defined by a house, village or city where our life unfolds (Leder 2004, 56), and by the possibility to leave that space
