English-speaking Internet users got a chance to learn more about Trans-Siberian Railway. The website InRussia (http://inrussia.com/storytellers?0) contains a multimedia project of six photographers and musicians from Russia and the UK. The project summery states: “They travelled by Trans-Siberian Railway from Russia to Great Britain. They made this journey to gather stories and share them with the world.”
The section devoted to Trans-Siberian Railway Road comprises essays, journalistic stories, documentaries and numerous pictures taken along the way.
The project was organized by the British Council with participation of English-language web source InRussia. The project participants visited Kazan, Ekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. They had meetings with local residents and cultural workers, and took sightseeing tours in each major city. They got to know Russia well and they read lectures about Shakespeare since his 400-year death anniversary was celebrated last year.
All the above became a firm basis of their creativity. Their notes based on personal observations and discussions of project participants are published in a form of online diary.
