  From a story in the 'Sovetskaya Molodezh' of the Kabardino- Balkarian 'Obkoma BLKSM', a story and some photographs. Dated Sunday, the 4th of August, 1963. Paul McGiffin and Roger Bartlett under a caption that says 'Druzhba, eto Znamya' ('Friendship, it's a banner'). Val pushes a wheelbarrow; Lena Shkarban and Sally (?) are in the background. Here's the whole article in Russian. Gillian, and John Maltby (?), in the trenches.

• Hal Schiffman and Maya Kushkhabieva (from Nalchik itself) sniffing the flowers on Mt. Elbrus.

• Leaving Moscow: quite a bunch of us, probably just before we discovered that we didn't actually have reservations on that train after all...

• Sally, Sue and Hal smiling as we prepare to leave from Belorussky Station.

• Feola, Russell and Jonathan prepare for departure; Paul McGiffin in the background...
