	Semyon Dezhnev Summary
		Semyon (Semion, Simon) Ivanovich Dezhnev (Russian: Семён Ива́нович Дежнёв; circa 1605 – 1673) was a Russian explorer who in 1648 led the expedition that doubled the known extent of the easternmost promontory of the Eurasian continent and discovered that Asia is not connected to Alaska.
		The same year Dezhnev sailed along the northern shores of the tip of Asia and discovered the Anian Strait between Asia and Alaska, thus proving that the Eurasian and the American continents are not connected.
		Dezhnev also described two islands of chukchi people ("Ostrova zubatykh"), now known as Diomede Islands consisting of Ratmanov Island and Kruzenstern Island, located between Asia and Alaska in what is now Bering Strait.

	The Devil in Mr. Dezhnev
		Dezhnev’s not concerned as much with the tempted as he is with the tempters — the series of spirits and angels, pure and fallen, who act out their own struggles against this human backdrop.
		In fact, Dezhnev so neglects one of the central plot points of the novel, the romance between Anna and Lukary, that its role in the book’s resolution becomes unbelievable — not because of the absurdity of the characters, but because of the carelessness of the novel’s emotional development.
		Dezhnev shows his greatest strengths, though, in his imagination of the cosmic structure that governs all of this muddled action.

		Isai Ignatiev made a voyage eastward from the Kolyma river in 1646, and Simon Dezhnev in 1648 followed his route and prolonged it, rounding the East or Dezhnev Cape, and entering the strait.
		In 1731 the navigator Michael Gvosdev was driven by storm from a point north of Cape Dezhnev to within sight of the Alaskan coast, which he followed for two days.
		Under Bering on his last voyage (x741) was Commander Chirikov of the "St Paul," and after being separated from his leader during foggy weather this officer reached the Alaskan coast and explored a considerable stretch of it.

		Having then continued southwest (to the region of Cape Chaplina), Dezhnev and 25 crew were shipwrecked on the coast (Oct 1648), while Alexeyev was separated by the storm and never seen again.
		On the Anadyr Dezhnev met up with a party under his rival Mikhail Stadukhin, and a smaller force under Semen Motora, who had pioneered a land route from Yakutsk.
		Dezhnev stayed on the Anadyr, for some time exploring the region with Motora, until May 1659 and returned overland via Nizhne-Kolymsk (May 1660) and Zhigansk (on the lower Lena) (autumn 1660) to Yakutsk (spring 1661).

	Goblins Infiltrate the Soviet Bureaucracy / Nikolai Dezhnev mixes history, theology and mythology in his complex novel
		The cast appears in different guises at various times, within history and without, as Dezhnev imagines the primordial battle between good and evil as a contest played by the rules of a well-run Soviet bureaucracy leavened with elements of Christian cosmology, Eastern mysticism and ancient stoicism.
		And shaping the antic, tragic and philosophic elements throughout Dezhnev's tale is a sorrowful and deep love for Russia itself, this ``barbaric and dark and impenetrable land.'' Lukary shares this passion.
		The head of secret operations at one point says that Russia no longer exists, that three generations under Soviet rule have turned it into a land peopled by the ``spiritual heirs of prison guards and informers,'' and that all that remains of its former self is its name.

	Bering Strait - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Bering Strait is a sea strait between Cape Dezhnev, Russia, the easternmost point (169°43' W) of the Asian continent and Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, the westernmost point (168°05' W) of the North American continent, with latitude of about 65° 40' North, slightly south of the polar circle.
		Although the Cossack Semyon Dezhnev passed by the strait in 1648, it is named after Vitus Bering, a Danish-born Russian explorer who crossed the strait in 1728.
		The Diomede Islands lie directly in the middle of the Bering Strait, and the village of Little Diomede has a school which is part of Alaska's Bering Strait School District.

	Discoverers Web: Dezhnev
		Originally from the region adjacent to the White Sea (possibly Pinega), Dezhnev entered government service in about 1630 and travelled widely in Siberia (collecting tribute from the residents), reaching Yakutsk (1638), from where he travelled between the Lena, Yana, Indigirka and Kolyma rivers for the next nine years.
		Having then continued southwest (to the region of Cape Chaplina), Dezhnev and 25 crew were shipwrecked on the coast (Oct 1648), while Alexeyev was separated by the storm and never seen again.

		Among early attempts to reach the unknown continent, a voyage of Semen Dezhnev through the Bering Straight in 1648 is among the most remarkable events.
		After the Dezhnev triumph, a number of Russian pioneers have been sailing what was to become the Bering Sea.
		But the first official expedition to the American shores was commissioned by Peter the Great shortly before his death in 1725, and was actually launched in 1728 under the command of a Russian naval officer, Vitus Bering.

	Constancea 83.7: Algae of Russian Coasts of the Bering Sea
		The laboratory of Hydrobiology of the Kamchatka Branch of Pacific Institute of Geography (KBPIG) conducted studies on flora and fauna of the Russian continental coasts of the Bering Sea (from Ozernoi Gulf to Dezhnev Bay) during a 7-month-long expedition in 1988.
		Data on the algae of this area may be found in the papers of Vinogradova (1973a, b, c), Tolstikova (1974), Kussakin and Ivanova (1978); Perestenko (1988; 1994), but the inventory of marine algae of this region is far from complete, and additional floristic and taxonomic studies are necessary.
		The list of benthic algae of the Ozernoi Gulf to Dezhnev Bay, including Karaginskii Island (Fig.1), totals to 170 species of macroalgae (records from the literature included): 33 species of Chlorophyta, 39 Phaeophyta and 98 Rhodophyta.

	New Age Stew Not Palatable
		Moscow is the battleground in the war between good and evil in Nikolai Dezhnev's angels-at-the-end-of-the millennium novel In Concert Performance.
		This may make you think of Mikhail Bulgakov, but here Dezhnev, a physicist by training, has created a fusion cosmology that weaves together Greek mythology, Eastern religious concepts such as karma and reincarnation, Christianity, dreams and physics.
		Granted, Dezhnev does a nice job linking these various elements into a more or less coherent narrative, but it is, nevertheless, an all-inclusive New Age stew that has a few too many ingredients to make it entirely palatable.

		For the most part, Serpina lets people foil themselves, remarking, "On earth there's no person who would not thirst for personal happiness before striving for enlightenment and ascent to Him." A spectacular cast of characters and an elaborate series of settings are spun into a dazzling story reminiscent of Marquez or Bulgakov.
		Moscow resident Dezhnev, himself a man of many incarnations (novelist, physicist, international economics specialist), has fabricated an utterly convincing fantastical world.
		As an example and as early as page 4 of the book Dezhnev sets out what must surely be the most vivd description of the empotions underlying a 'mid-life crisis.
