I found this one recently, & it’s beautiful. But, I heard that you actually need special permission to be in there even if you’re a citizen of Rossiya. Even so, I would like to get the entry forms & go, & you should definitely give travel to my northern neighbour a try (especially beyond the big cities of Moscow, St Petersburg, & Vladivostok).

"Before They Pass Away", the amazing project of photographer Jimmy Nelson.

"’In 2009, I planned to become a guest of 31 secluded and visually unique tribes. I wanted to witness their time-honoured traditions, join in their rituals and discover how the rest of the world is threatening to change their way of life forever"

The ancient Arctic Chukchi live on the peninsula of the Chukotka. Unlike other native groups of Siberia, they have never been conquered by Russian troops. Their environment and traditional culture endured destruction under Soviet rule, by weapons testing and pollution.
