Being among the ranks of those who had no freakin’ idea where the Komi Republic was, I eagerly await photographic and literary essays.

Remember lots of layers to stay nice and warm :)

Now I’m envious!!!
That’s my kind of place.

Hope your Russian’s good, or you have a good translator, as I don’t expect there will be any english language whatsoever up there.

My Russian is pretty basic so Ill be using a fixer.Most of the towns ill be visiting are oil and gas towns built by Gulag prisoners.

Must be pretty close to Nenet reindeer herding territory, no?

[lightstalker]

Yeah it is.Especially further north in Vorkuta

Well, if you make any contacts in or close to that community, please share.

I’d love to go and shack up with the Nenets for a while.

haver a good time and I’m looking forward to seeing some photos if you’ll be so kind as to indulge us :wink:

Stiv

Im going up there to do a picture story but it im afraid it doesnt involve the Nenat or reindeer.Ill definitely pass on any contacts should I encounter them.
