On January 22, ''Russian Wikinews'' attended a talk by Russian travel
writer Viktor Pinchuk in Verkhorechye village, located 18 kilometers
from Bakhchysarai, Crimea on his 2008 expedition to the Near East, where
the main purpose was to visit Afghanistan. The event was organized with
the assistance of the Crimean branch of the Russian Geographical
Society.
The traveler spoke about his adventures, showed photographs (including
those present at the exhibition “Afghanistan, 2008”), short videos
and CDs containing cultural music from Asian countries (which he brings
from each expedition, being a philophonist), and answered guests'
questions. When speaking about the results of his trip, he mentioned
that 25 articles had been published in the press, as well as a further
two for ''Russian Wikinews''.
At the end of the event, there was a presentation of the book "Afghan
Prisoner", created in the genre of a travel essay, where the author
follows the traditions of cultural travel.
Ksenia Osmanova, chairman of the Bakhchysarai local branch of the
Russian Geographical Society and organizer of the event, described the
traveler and his activities:
