People of Siberia: Old Believers
|
|
I met hundreds of interesting people in Siberia and Mongolia. The most spectacular, cheerful and hospitable of them live in small Siberian villages with strange names - Kuytun, Tarbagatay, Kunaley. They are Semeiskie or Old Believers, a unique ethnic group, a colourful blend of Ukranian, Belorussian and Polish culture, traditions, beliefs, folk tales and songs. Every time you visit them, you find something new in their life, something interesting for pictures.

Andrey Suknev has been doing ecoturism since 1990. He leads and participates in different ecotourist's expeditions. From 1993 to 1997 he worked as a director of the Russian-American project devoted to the development of ecotourism. Since 1997 he has been working as a director of NGO (non governmental, the Center of Supporting Regional tourism. Hobby: travelling and photography.
Ecotourism will not solve all the problems concerning Baikal. But it is a great opportunity for hundreds of people to survive and to save the unique nature of sacred Siberian Sea.

Vladimir Kvashnin, The lost world of Circumbaikal Railroad
|
|
Vladimir Kvashnin from 'Raleigh - Siberia' travels a lot at the Lake. One of
his favourite places - the Old Circumbaikal Railway. Untill 1957 every train
passenger saw those views through windows. Nowadays only few travellers
visit the turn-of-the-century world of Old Railway.
Speaking frankly, I never liked railways. But the misteriuos world of the
Old Circumbaikal Railway enchanted me at once. There is something magnetic
here. Hope these pictures will help you to feel the charm of one of the most
interesting places in Siberia.
