Citizen journalist, Viktor Pinchuk — gives travel presentation in Sevastapol

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.
