Photo: Sanctions and world trade:  Storck Harbour scene. "Pre-crime, a term coined by science fiction author Philip K. Dick, is increasingly used in academic literature to describe and criticise the tendency in criminal justice systems to focus on crimes not yet committed.  . . .   The term embodies a temporal paradox, suggesting both that a crime has not occurred and that the crime that has not occurred is a foregone conclusion.  . . . Precrime in criminology dates back to the positivist school in the late 19th century, especially to Cesare Lombroso's idea that there are 'born criminals', who can be recognized, even before they have committed any crime, on the basis of certain physical characteristics."

Photo: A Russian stamp:  "World Natural Heritage of Russia. Tyva Republic. Ubsunur Basin" Tuva, once named Tannu Tuva, is a Vajrayana/Tibetan Buddhist territory south of the enormous Krasnoyarsk Krai in Russia.  Tuva is due south of Khakassia, which is a subregion of indigenous Turkic peoples; north of Mongolia and adjacent to Buryatia, both also Buddhist.  The exceptional American physicist Richard Feynman once found a Tuvan postage stamp, realized he had no knowledge of the country, and decided to visit.  Under the Soviet Union internal travel was severely limited, and the distinguished Dr Feynman did not get there.  In his effort, "Leighton and Feynman tried many ploys to get to Tuva. They even enrolled as delegates at a throat-singing conference to be held in Hovd, Mongolia. Throat-singing, a bizarre style peculiar to Tuva [and strongly Mongolian], involves making two notes simultaneously. Alas, the conference was cancelled at the last minute."         "  . . .  In 1988, Leighton and Feynman pulled off a coup, bringing to Los Angeles ‘Nomads of Eurasia', an exhibition that included ancient Tuvan artefacts. The Soviet authorities would be sure to reward them with a trip to Tuva, they reasoned. But on 15 February 1988 – just three days before an invitation arrived – Feynman's borrowed time ran out.        "Leighton went to Kyzyl without Feynman, and stood before the monument to the centre of Asia. ‘It seemed like Richard's grave,' he says." ..  https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg13318095-100-review-richard-feynmans-lost-journey/#ixzz77u8dBMKg   https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg13318095-100-review-richard-feynmans-lost-journey/#ixzz77u8ChISt Vladimir Putin gone fishing in spectacular Tuva.  Felix Light, Moscow Times,  @felix_light, @CBS News, @Moscow Times https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/09/27/putin-joins-defense-minister-shoigu-on-taiga-trek-a75150

Photo:  Yakut elder, early 20th century. The Yakuts, or the Sakha (Yakut: саха, sakha; plural: сахалар, sakhalar), are a Turkic ethnic group who mainly live in the Republic of Sakha in the Russian Federation, with some extending to the Amur, Magadan, Sakhalin regions, and the Taymyr and Evenk Districts of the Krasnoyarsk region. The Yakut language belongs to the Siberian branch of the Turkic languages. The Russian word yakut was taken from Evenk yokō. The Yakuts call themselves Sakha, or Urangai Sakha in some old chronicles. [Note proximity to the island Sakhalin. —ed.]             The ancestors of Yakuts were Kurykans who migrated from Yenisey river to Lake Baikal and were subject to a certain Mongolian admixture prior to migration in the 7th century. The Yakuts originally lived around Olkhon and the region of Lake Baikal. Beginning in the 13th century they migrated to the basins of the Middle Lena, the Aldan and Vilyuy rivers under the pressure of the rising Mongols.
