The Kamchatka Text was compiled based on the results of a writer's residence organized in Kamchatka in October 2023 by the Association of Writers and Publishers Unions of Russia, the authors of the collection are the winners of an open competition and direct participants in the project. Their task was to write new or complete unfinished texts, one way or another related to the venue of the residence. This is how the works of various genres presented in the book were born - short stories, historical and cultural essays, essays, traveler's notes and mythological tales. The authors are trying to expand our understanding of Kamchatka and make this distant land more tangible and closer.
