Unexpected Interview in the Siberian Taiga
Unexpected Interview in the Siberian Taiga
At the end of our long journey in Western Siberia, in the summer of 2025, my friend Pehuen and I met Konstantine and Natalya Udintsev (Константин и Наталья Удинцевы) in the taiga.
This unexpected meeting turned into a long conversation in the middle of the forest, about our journey, wild living, and the experience of immersion in the vast northern wilderness.
They eventually recorded a full interview in Russian, which you can watch here.
Expedition context
This meeting took place at the end of a three-month expedition in Siberia, during which we crossed several wild regions in autonomy, mainly on foot and by canoe.
During these journeys daily life becomes very simple:
fishing, fire, walking, silence, observing nature.
Encounters with other travellers or people living in these territories are always rare and precious moments.
