People and Languages Reduced to Tourist Brochures

To regional officials and entrepreneurs, the relatively unknown linguistic and ethnic diversity within the Russian Federation is a great resource. Travel agencies use enticing terms like “northern nomads” or “Siberian shamans”.

Read Stefan Ingvarsson's new essay about the projection of language and people in today's Russia for PEN/Opp.

PEN/Opp is an international online magazine founded by Swedish PEN in 2011. The magazine serves as a forum for people to tell stories that relate to the pervasive and explosive struggle for the freedom of expression.
