Journey Planet 55 — Russian Space — available for free download


This unique issue of Journey Planet comes in two languages in parallel text, Russian and English. With bi-lingual text on every page welook at the Science, Engineering, Science Fiction, Films, Comics and poetry that the theme of Russian Space has to offer.


Muscovite Co-Editor Ann Gry (Anna Gryaznova) was committed to ensure the issue was as accessible as possible to the readers, interested in the subject and spent a tremendous amount of time working on translations as well as seeking out new voices, and hearing from voices who may be very new to Journey Planet readers. This issue is a curated glimpse into the creative realms mostly inaccessible due to the language barrier and is an attempt to give an idea of how space theme connects us all.


With articles from Maria Ku, Mikhail Katyurichev and Danila Chvanov, a comprehensive look at space-themed comics by Andrey Malyshkin, as well as interviews with the creators of “Meteora” from Bubble comics, Askold Akishin and Alexandra Shevchenko, prose and comics are well covered. An interesting part is dedicated to visual poetry along with some traditional verses by Andrey Suzdalev.


An extensive article on space-themed films, we also have an interview with Konstantin Bronzit (Oscars nominee) and Christopher Riley (BAFTA & Emmy nominee).


With writings on visits to Museums or exhibitions by Nicholas Whyte and Dr Emma J. King,

and Ann Gry visiting Kaluga — the place where Konstatnin Tsiolkovsky lived and worked, we have first hand reportage of some amazing space places and artifacts.


Finally with articles on trains at cosmodromes by James Bacon, a paper model of the MIG 105 by Oleg Ivanov and a selection of postage stamps featuring space, this issue offer many aspects of Russian Space and we hope readers enjoy it.


This issue's cover is a melding of art, collage work by Christopher J. Garcia, layout by Ann Gry and a star field background by Hugo and Chesley finalist Sara Felix.

Mình chơi xổ số kiểu cho vui là chính, xem kết quả để giải trí chứ cũng không đặt nặng chuyện trúng đậm. Trước đây nghe người ta bàn về “cầu” với “dàn” đủ kiểu mình cũng nghi nghi, nhưng theo dõi một thời gian thì thỉnh thoảng thấy có vài chỗ lặp lại khiến mình chú ý. Mỗi lần đọc nhận định ở đâu đó, mình hay ghi lại vài ý ngắn rồi vài hôm sau đem ra so lại, coi thử có phải mình tự tưởng tượng không. Dạo gần đây rảnh thì mình lướt https://soicauxsmb.io/soi-cau-666.html để có thêm chuyện tán gẫu với bạn bè. Có bữa trúng chút thì vui, nhưng cũng nhiều hôm lệch hẳn nên…
