Russian Brown Bears

[brotherbear]

I will end it here, although the book contains much more...
Promyshlennik is a Russian name for a Siberian hunter and adventurer who hunts for profit rather than "sport", rather like an American mountain man or "sourdough". Instead of gold, Promyshlenniks looked for the valuable furs of sable, marten, and other animals. Some hoped to make quick money; for many it simply became a way of life ( Vladimir Beregovoy ). Remember that this book was first published in 1865 and has remained continuously in print to this very day.

I feel that I must add that the tiger ( babr ) is hardly mentioned throughout this book. Reply
