Valeriy Klamm - The Siberians: Daily Life of Rural Russia
In 2012 I interviewed Valeriy Klamm the undertaking coordinator of the community weblog ?Birthmark on the Map?, a challenge capturing rural Russia with a focus on Siberia. At the time he informed me of his decade long bid to carry a view of rural Russia to a broader audience ? To inform a unique story about Russia, one which failed to consciousness on struggle, weather or deprivation.
Valeriy works in the cultural sector in his hometown of Novosibirsk, Siberia. He said, “I wanted to tell the story to the outside world of who we are in reality, not a polished view... I am very happy that the content has stayed real. The blog continues to develop and it is like an endless puzzle, an endless chain”.
This puzzle now has a brand new piece, Valeriy?S very own series The Siberians which is likewise a book. You can see the e-book right here. I visited Russia some years ago now, but I didn't get to Siberia; the usa is so sizeable it became impossible to cram the whole thing on my 'to do' listing into three weeks. Russia is especially rich culturally and I determined it captivating, as are Valeriy's pictures.
