Poster of presentation
Russian Wikinews
attended
Russian
travel writer
Viktor Pinchuk
's presentation last month, at the
Library of Romance and Adventure in
Sevastopol
, Russia. The presentation centered on his micro-textbook,
Cultural Travel
, featured on the website, Wikibooks offered in two language versions ? Russian & English.
The author began the lecture by mentioning that the concept is practically unknown in the vastness of the Russian Federation, as well as beyond its borders, providing as evidence and for comparison the data pages
“Cultural Tourism”
and
“Cultural Travel”
, where the first (contrary to the erroneously common belief, is not a synonym for the second) has been translated into dozens of languages, and the second has only three language versions, which are
stubs
.
The speech part of the event was supplemented by photographs and videos filmed by the author during his travels and long solo expeditions; all questions from the audience were answered in detail. The only drawback of the creative meeting was the low attendance.
In addition to the usual criteria for a “Cultural Travel”, described in the Wikipedia
article
, the creator of the textbook added that he is interested in ethnic music, being an experienced philophonist ? collector and showed those present four copies of music CDs brought from
Indonesia
,
Lesotho
,
Mongolia
and
Mexico
.

Not everyone is given the opportunity to achieve that degree of enlightenment when, through the dissipated fog of everyday life, which obscures the gaze of walking along the path of existence, the contours of awareness of what is happening slowly begin to appear. A cultural travel, the subject of which temporarily forgets about his ego, reincarnating as an aboriginal, adopting his traditions and customs ? one of the steps on the ladder leading to the true perception of objective reality, each move along which sweeps away the small and insignificant, which seems important to us in the bustle of life that slips away day after day.
