This windmill is probably the last not-museum operating windmill in Russia. Video is dated as 2001, probably it was combined from two videos and acting windmill part is older. But it was operating in 1989: (here and here, please read - there is windmill's history there). Miller is Fedor Ivanovich Karev. Also it is probably the youngest historical windmill in Russia built in 1953.

The windmill burned down in 2007 (here, this article says that the windmill was in use even in 2007).
