Turkmens in the Notes of Russian Travelers
The traveler is a discoverer. And it doesn't matter at all that before he entered the previously unknown territory, it was explored by someone earlier and is no longer officially considered "terra incognito". In his wanderings around the world, each traveler continues the work of his predecessors, finding and describing new details of current life that have escaped their sight, details of everyday life, observing and studying the character traits of the local population. Discovering a new land for himself, the traveler, first of all, discovers the people living on it. And this is perhaps the most interesting part of his research, because without people, the earth is dead. Today we bring to the attention of our readers a selection of observations made by Russian travelers in different years of the late 19th - early 20th centuries.
