Yesterday I gave a speech at the Russian Geographical Society in St. Petersburg.
Each member of the society must speak publicly at least once a year and thereby show his vigorous activity in the development of geographical science.
I read a report about an expedition last year to the Altai Mountains to the Shavlinsky Lakes and the Maashey Valley.

Since I am not a scientist, but a traveler, I chose a freer and more interesting form of presenting the material than pundits do at conferences.
Many beautiful photographs, factual material, and most importantly, own observations and notes about the local population, nature, the special atmosphere of Altai, a demonstration of playing the komus, the national Altai instrument.

An interesting conversation began with the audience about radon sources and their healing and harmful properties. The people were really interested in learning as much as possible about the nature and interesting places of Altai. Many questions were asked. Was great!

I am a member of the commission of scientific tourism (they came up with a name!), And in fact I need to study places of power, unusual phenomena and other interesting and unusual things. Pundits consider this pseudoscience, which is why some scientists actually left the Russian Geographical Society.
Although, if we remember, great travelers such as Sapozhnikov, Przhevalsky, Kozlov and many others were members of the Russian Geographical Society. And it was an honor. And they were proud of it. By the way, it is an honor to be a member of the National Geographic Society. He is respected. He is recognized all over the world.
For our society personally I am very ashamed and sad. There are no talented managers who would put things in order in it, would raise it to the status that it had in ancient times.
Now the building of the Russian Geographical Society in St. Petersburg has been closed for repairs by order of Putin. The building is beautiful and ancient located on Grivtsova, 10. Now the lectures are held in a small room on the Petrograd side on the territory of the wretched building of the Printing House. The library and archive do not work. Employees say that the Russian Geographical Society may no longer see its historic building. Repairs will be delayed for an indefinite time, and then someone from government structures will take the building. But this is all just speculation and rumors.

In reality, the Russian Geographical Society today does not have any positioning, nor does it conduct vigorous activities that the public would know about. There is no powerful RGS brand. And inside the Russian Geographical Society, everything is rather strange. Hanging announcement of the distribution of grants. But no one knows the terms of the grants, the amounts, or the conditions. Last time, when such a situation came from Moscow, the grants had already been distributed in a strange way. As a young inquisitive mind, it is interesting for me to win a grant, given the experience of receiving them from foreign funds. But in this situation, again, it is easier to turn to the West than to think that our bureaucracy is able to properly distribute funds.

Recently, the Russian Geographical Society in Moscow needed a PR specialist for the press service. The announcement on Headhunter made me very happy. Well, finally, the Russian Geographical Society has a press service and needs employees. Finally, they have become modern. But either the employee was not found, or he had not yet begun to perform his direct duties.

Despite the fact that the members of the Russian Geographical Society, my senior comrades, are eager to pass on their knowledge to young people. Indeed, the members of the Russian Geographical Society today are predominantly middle-aged and very experienced people. Young people do not aspire to the Russian Geographical Society.
Traveling friends came to my lecture. Young guys, well-read and enthusiastic, who know the Leningrad region well, travel a lot and outside it did not understand why they need to join the Russian Geographical Society, and even pay membership fees. And really WHAT does the Russian Geographical Society give its members today?

Are any of you, readers, a member of the Russian Geographical Society? Are you planning to join the Russian Geographical Society? Know what the RGO does? Do you even know what RGO is?
