Chinese Employee of the Grodekovo Museum acted as a scientific consultant in a new TASS project
Feb. 22
TASS has completed work on a special project "Boundless Extreme". It tells the story of the development and settlement of the Amur region - from the first expeditions in the mid-19th century to the arrival of the Bolsheviks in the Far East.
One of the scientific consultants was Anna Averina, head of the research department of the history of the Grodekovo Museum.
According to the authors, the project does not retell the content of textbooks. In the text, readers will find "excerpts from statements and memoirs of eyewitnesses and participants of those events. These short phrases are stylized as messages in social networks. In addition, many maps, diagrams and other visualizations make the text especially clear "*.
There are four chapters in the special project:
- "Amur Seasons" - about the mid-19th century, when Russia managed to gain a foothold in the Far East
- "Siberian Eldorado" and "Netikhiy Tykhiy" - about the first decades of mass resettlement of people in Priamurye.
- "Far Eastern Express" - about the last decades of the Russian Empire and the establishment of Soviet power in the Amur region.
Anna Averina complements:
"Many of the current peculiarities of life in the Far East can be explained by looking at history. On the other hand, the scale of the contribution and the amount of effort and time it took to settle this territory can only be assessed by drawing such illustrative parallels as in the TASS special project.
