Name: Allison
Me: Off to Russia to continue my Honor's Project research. Saint Petersburg is the first stop, to interview Konstantin Markovich Azadovsky who spent 1981-1983 as a political prisoner in the most notorious prison camp in Russia, Kolyma. Then, 4 days on Solovetsky Island: home of the first GULAG prison, and within 150km of the arctic circle. Finally, it's back to St. Petersburg, New York and Bowdoin.
More Stuff
- Great overview of the GULAG
- The Azadovsky Affair
- Official Solovki website (Russian)
- Weather in Solovki (Russian)

No Kasha? I mean....I'm speechless. No pad of slowly melting butter? no jam to drip on top? what kind of creepy Russia have you stumbled upon? and Dom Knigi not being in the pretty building? even weirder...especially since they spent a small fortune fixing that building up for the 300th. i mean, we got to see it's exterior for a day and a half...huh.
well dear, I'm glad you're alive. I can't wait to talk to you after you get back.
