"The Man-Legend: Fridtjof Nansen and His Visit to the Caucasus One Hundred Years Ago"
Book Presentation

We invite you to the first presentation of Fridtjof Nansen's book in Russian! We are proud to present the edition "Through the Caucasus to the Volga" — a narrative of his journey that took place exactly one hundred years ago. At the time, Nansen, already a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, arrived in Soviet Armenia on a humanitarian mission. Following that, he accepted invitations to visit Georgia, Dagestan, Chechnya, and Russia.

Today, this book is more than just a travel journal — it is a true historical document. Living in the Caucasus, we have a unique opportunity to compare what the great explorer saw a century ago with how the political, social, and everyday life in the region has changed since then.
