Magnificent nature, Russian hospitality, an abundance of treats, terrible roads, a flask of yogurt that exploded in the author's pocket, cabbies who constantly strive to get off the route... English metallurgist James Cartmell Ridley was a delegate to the VII International Geological Congress (St. Petersburg, 1897). As part of the Ural geological excursion organized by the Russian government for the participants of this forum in the summer of 1897, he visited European Russia, the territory of present-day Bashkortostan, Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions, as well as the Perm Territory. In 1898 he issued his notes on this trip, in which he fascinatingly described the life and customs of the local population.
