During the 6th annual CASNiG Conference (Central Asian Studies Network) in Bishkek, organised by the American University in Central Asia and the French Institute for Central Asian Studies, Wladimir Sgibnev and Egor Muleev presented a new, upcoming book with the name “Appreciation of Marshrutkas”. It is a collection of articles originally published in English as part of the Marshrutka project, which have now been translated into Russian. The book contains five papers by Cholpon Turdalieva, Lela Rekhviashvili, Wladimir Sgibnev and Tonio Weicker. Egor Muleev translated and edited the papers, and wrote an introduction. The day before the launch at the conference, the Bishkek-based publishing house “Books for Development” held a similar event in their bookstore. So there were two launches, and both went really well.
