Talk: Russian America’s Seventeen Moments

Описание мероприятия

This journalistic project «Russian America’s Seventeen Moments» is dedicated to contemporary Alaska and to its vibrant Russian heritage. It consists of seventeen illustrated interviews given by seventeen Alaskans who are White and Alaska Native, Russian and American, men and women. Each interview includes seventeen questions. What is «magic» about the number ’17’? It seems that Alaska, the northernmost U.S. state also known as ‘The Great Land’ and ‘The Last Frontier’, is represented by this precise number of symbols! Each interview tells the story of a unique life, and each is part of Alaska’s story, a place where heritage is kept alive from the ancient past when Alaska’s First Peoples came here from Siberia, from the Russian period that ended in 1867, and from the 150 years that it has been the farthest land of the American frontier.

The project is dedicated to 150th anniversary of Alaska’s transfer from Russia to the U.S. celebrated in 2017.

Presented by Sergey Pashkevich, independent journalist, Fulbright alumnus and Vladimir Kolychev, President of the Russian America society.
