The great Russian traveler Nikolai Nikolaevich Miklouho-Maclay was born on July 17, 1846 in the village of Rozhdestvensky, near the city of Borovichi. Anyone who is interested in the life of primitive peoples will read Miklouho-Maclay's diary with enthusiasm. Gulf Papuans & lt; Astrolabes & gt; (on the northeastern coast of New Guinea), among which the traveler lived for several years, never communicated with other peoples and at that time retained their primitive way of life in complete untouchability.
