TRAVELS IN SIBERIA 1961-1995 by John Massey Stewart

WHEN: Wednesday, 14th May 2008, 7:30pm
WHERE: The Gordon Cameron Lecture Theatre, Fitzwilliam College, Storey's Way or Huntingdon Rd, Cambridge
>>>

John Massey Stewart - writer, photographer, Siberian specialist, consultant and environmental activist - presents his 11 totally different visits to Siberia and the Soviet/Russian Far East between 1961 and 1995. They range from botanical, geographical, and environmental to NATO and World Bank-sponsored journeys, two weeks in a rubber boat through a huge nature reserve, and an exhibition he devised on 400 years of historic British-Siberian links. His travels have taken him several times to Lake Baikal, from the frozen Ob estuary to Vladivostok in high summer, and have included a visit to Khanty nomadic reindeer-herders and a red-carpet tour of the Buryat Republic.
