In 1970, the first issue of the literary, artistic and popular science collection Far Eastern Travels and Adventures was published. And now the reader is holding the fifth volume in his hands. Having turned the pages of the new book, he will find here both familiar and not familiar names. Prospector A. A. Pobozhiy, one of the project leaders of the Baikal-Amur Railway, this construction site of the century, is performing at the DVPP for the first time. The reader also knows the names of the Far Eastern sailors A.P. Bochek and B.K. Konev, representatives of the older generation of Soviet polar explorers. Writers Lev Knyazev and Leonid Pasenyuk perform at DVPP for the first time, as do hunting scientist F.R. Shtilmark, Chekist L.P. Vasilevsky, journalists Yuri Balakirev and Alina Chadaeva... For the first time in Russian, travel notes by Yu. N. Roerich are published, telling about the Tibetan-Himalayan expedition of the great Russian artist N.K. Roerich.
