Monday, March 13, 2023

On March 6, Russian Wikinews attended a speech by Russian travel writer Viktor Pinchuk in Simferopol, Crimea on his 2018–2019 voyage to Oceania.

The Crimean Federal University's Scientific Library hosted the event, which opened with speeches by Library Director Natalya Kadukha and Gennady Samokhin, chairman of the Crimean branch of the Russian Geographical Society (RGO).

Pinchuk noted he created eighteen articles on the Russian Wikipedia and eight textbooks on the Russian Wikibooks after the expedition, including "Two months of wandering and 14 days behind bars".

Answering questions from attendees, Pinchuk argued: "Travelers didn't die out hundreds of years ago, but simply got lost among the countless tourists".
