The Wanderings of Anna Odintsova
19.99 €
In the 1940s, a young woman named Anna Odintsova arrived in Chukotka from Leningrad as part of a scientific expedition from the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences. She was obsessed with the ambitious dream of being like the English ethnographer Margaret Mead, who had lived among African tribes and written an intriguing study of their lives.

Anna planned not just to observe the Chukchi but to settle in a camp and become a true Chauchavanau—a Chukchi woman. But her time spent in the tundra profoundly changed her worldview. She increasingly began to wonder how the desire to bring civilization, as we know it, to these lands was destroying the unique culture of the indigenous population, forcibly uprooting their centuries-old traditions and customs.
