Paris to Pamirs (eBook, ePUB)

Eurasian Odysseys

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Paris to Pamirs: Eurasian Odysseys is a sequel to Monte Rosa: Memoir of an Accidental Spy, a volume that documented the author's life from WWII to his years in Paris, where he worked for the IEA/OECD and later as an undercover researcher for Radio Liberty. The fall of Communism in 1991 opened opportunities for travel east of the defunct Iron Curtain. Over the next three decades, Jaroslaw Martyniuk traveled to forty countries between the Atlantic Ocean and the high Pamir mountains in Tajikistan which border China and Afghanistan in Central Asia. Like a latter-day Marco Polo, Martyniuk takes his reader on an adventure from Western and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Baltics, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia, to Istanbul, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.

Autorenporträt

Jaroslaw (Slavko) Martyniuk is a retired energy economist and sociologist. Born in Ukraine, he with his family escaped Communism and eventually emigrated to Chicago, where he worked for Amoco Oil. In 1979, he was appointed to a diplomatic post with the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris. In the mid-eighties, he morphed into a researcher for the Soviet Area Audience and Opinion Research (SAAOR) in Paris, coordinating a network of fifty Russian-speaking interviewers conducting unorthodox research with Soviet visitors on behalf of Radio Liberty in Munich. In 1995, Martyniuk joined InterMedia in Washington, DC, where his brief expanded to include research in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Martyniuk speaks five languages and has written numerous analytical articles.
