Brokered by Czech and Slovak independence leaders, the Legion was formed by the Russian military during WWI to fight Austria-Hungary. After the Revolution, the Legion became entangled in the Civil War and Allied anti-Bolshevik schemes, while its officers meddled in local Russian politics. The Legion took control of the Trans-Siberian Railroad and aligned with the White Armies. After two years of fighting its way through Siberia, the Legion signed a truce with the Bolsheviks, gaining safe passage to Vladivostok, where it was evacuated on Allied ships.  Travel to Turkey with me here Check out our sister podcast the Mystery of Everything Coffee Collab With The Lore Lodge COFFEE Bonus episodes as well as ad-free episodes on Patreon.

The Soviets charged the refugees exorbitant fees for the exit visas and travel expenses. The Joint and the Vaad Hatzalah provided funds for these costs, with Rav Avraham Kalmanowitz investing herculean efforts to ensure the Mir contingent were able to fund their escape. Many refugees sold their personal belongings. They then embarked on a 10-12 day train journey on the Trans-Siberian Railroad across the vast expanses of the Soviet Union, arriving in the port city of Vladivostok. From there the Sea of Japan was crossed and the refugees settled temporarily in Kobe and Yokohama. The refugees received a generally warm reception from the local Japanese as well as the small local Jewish community. When it became evident that Curacao wasn't going to be practical as a final destination, Japanese and Jewish activists interceded with the Japanese Imperial government to extend the refugee's visas. As a result, the refugee community was able to remain in Japan for several months.   Cross River, a leading financial institution committed to supporting its communities, is proud to sponsor Jewish History Soundbites.

Today in the studio we have a diary that was kept by a teenage girl during her family's emigration odyssey from Russia to the United States. They left Moscow in 1917, embarking on a year-long journey that took them across the continent on the Trans-Siberian Railroad, then through Vladivostok, Yokohama, Hawaii, and San Francisco. Mostly written in Cyrillic, the diary contains photos, little English-language jokes, and references to Jascha Heifetz, a family friend—and violin prodigy—whose family took a parallel trip when they left Russia. Learn about what makes a diary interesting, our translation processes, and the importance of treating these historical documents with respect on this meandering episode of the #brattlecast.

As I was working on the next episodes from Saudi Arabia, I came across a recording from the car when I was driving across the country with Cynthia Rignanese – who calls herself “Cynthia Globe” because she travels so much. In fact, Saudi Arabia is her country number 124. She's a lawyer from Florida and has her own law firm, which allows her to take a lot of time off to travel the globe. And this episode comes out just a few days before we meet again for another epic journey in four African countries. Ghana, Togo, Benin, and São Tomé & Príncipe. But that's another story. PLAY THE GAME & TRY NOT TO HIT A CAMEL In this one, we play a game as we're driving across the Saudi desert, trying to avoid hitting one of the many camels walking across the road from time to time. And the speedbumps. Oh my god, the speedbumps... They just come out of nowhere without any warning. The game basically goes like this: We take turns asking simply, “would you rather A or B questions”. And here they are so you can start thinking about what you would answer yourself. Would you rather go to the Arctics or Antarctica? The north- or the south pole? Would you rather go scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia or do the Rickshaw Challenge, driving a tuk-tuk yourself for ten days in India? Would you rather spend a weekend in the seven-star luxury hotel, Burj Al Arab in Dubai, or in a glamping tent in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania? Would you rather ride a camel or an ostrich? Would you rather do the Trans-Siberian Railroad or go dog sledging in Eastern Greenland? MEET CYNTHIA - AGAIN I met Cynthia in Florida when I was there in 2021, and you might remember the episode where we talked about how she got into collecting passport stamps. If not, go back and listen to that one too. RIDING AN OSTRICH IS WRONG We're having fun talking about the thrill of riding an ostrich in our conversation. But according to PETA UK, it is cruel to ride an ostrich. PETA stands for The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. An article says that the ostrich skeleton is not designed to support a human's weight, and this practice is likely to harm the physiology of the animals. We all live and learn (as we should), like when I went swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas and later learned that you should not support places where they keep and train dolphins in captivity. Listen to the episode about that if you want to hear more. In another article from PETA called “Holiday Attractions You Need to Avoid”, they also say: ”Please, never ride an elephant, a horse, a donkey, a camel, or any other animal at a tourist attraction.”  Specifically, when it comes to camel riding, they say that “Camels are intelligent, sensitive animals who suffer when forced to give rides to tourists. In some parts of the world, these regal animals being beaten bloody with sticks before being sold to the tourism industry. They are used for rides in the blistering heat, they are denied access to food, water, and shade.”  I'm not saying it happens everywhere ... but maybe, so make your own choices. When I rode camels in Morocco and the Dubai desert, I had no idea. Now, I don't need to do that again. MALAYSIAN VISITING GREENLAND We talked about visiting eastern Greenland, and I mentioned an interview we did when I was producing the LEGO Art podcast about the World Map. Here Malaysian-born, Wani Baumgartner talks about her trip there. We also speak to other amazing world travellers, like Thor Petersen, Dane and Stacey, and Earnest White III. If you want to hear the whole thing, go to LEGO.com/Art and click on the World Map. LET'S DO IT AGAIN, CYNTHIA This was fun. I'll see if I can persuade Cynthia to do another when we're soon travelling through Africa. The luxury train in southern Africa I was talking about is called Rovos. Go to Rovos.com to see more about that. My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.

Finding 42, at its core, is an amazing adventure series. Book 1, Cut the Rope, begins with the author leaving the familiar, New York City, and flying into the unfamiliar, Moscow, Russia. The author, Benny Mailman, had just gone through some soulful healing in Denver, Colorado, after having been demoralized and drowning in darkness. He had been brought to the doorstep of hell, and ushered through the door. A proud Marine, a loving son, and a joyful, smiling friend had all been ripped away, rendering him a shell of his former self. He learned a difficult lesson in those darkest days: no amount of his Love could heal his mentally sick friend. The year was 2011. Finally freeing himself from the clutches of evil energy, Benny sought to rebuild his soul through healers. He sought true freedom. He sought love. It was now January of 2012, the month and year Benny turned 42. As he walked in a winter storm, he knew this year was going to be life changing... he just knew. On October 4, 2012, he began a journey that had no end date. He just went, determined to be true to his soul and live an extraordinary adventure on his terms, thus creating his own reality. When asked how long he would be traveling, he simply responded "I will know when I am done". Finding 42 is a letting go of the known and often forced reality. It is about a man setting out to prove that a better reality was there for the creating. Within the journey, spiritual growth flourishes and an ancient knowledge is renewed in the strength, kindness, and beauty of the human spirit. Book 1 is filled with stories and soulful connections with fellow travelers and locals alike. There is the story of Fire Horse in Mongolia, Tom Waits and Starbucks in Moscow, life aboard the Trans-Siberian Railroad, the Great Wall, and even a magical event in Luoyang, China. Fasten your seat belts! I remind you that this is all true.

Christmas Movie Pitch Meeting--- An empath and a psychopath discuss their experience of a recent murder on a westbound train from Moscow to Siberia. The question on their minds: Do the dead forget? (Trans Siberian Railroad. Mostly. Mild swears happen.) 00:00 - 1:34:50 - All TSR, all the time, baby! Well, except for the Ponzi Scheme chat. And the Irish Gauge chat. Probably other stuff too.

Today’s episode is all about Vivian’s engineering speciality: Railroads. We examine the unbelievable process of constructing Russia’s Trans-Siberian Railroad, which is not just an engineering monument, but a monument to making do without appropriate resources and the challenges that follow corner-cutting. The construction of the first phase of the railroad began in 1891 under the direction of Emperor Alexander III, and the 9,289km long line from Moscow to Vladivostok crosses at least 7 timezones, 12 regions, 5 territories, 2 republics and 1 autonomous region of Russia, and cost 1.5 billion gold rubles at the time, roughly the equivalent of $20 billion USD in 2015. The railroad was built almost entirely by soldiers and prisoners, and the 90,000 men employed in the construction did so through sheer willpower, without having the appropriate resources available to themselves. In 1974 a portion of the railroad was rebuilt to reroute further away from China. The new leg of the railroad would be built much farther north on ground that was almost entirely made up of permafrost. With only 90 frost free days each year and winter temperatures of -60C this would present unique challenges, including the unexpected consequence of building on top of permafrost: thawing. To date this section of the railroad has cost more to maintain than the entirety of it’s construction, roughly $14 billion, and the construction would not be completed until 2003, nearly 30 years after construction began. Despite the enormous challenges in constructing and maintaining the railroad, it continues to handle 50% of Russia’s imports and exports, and the 15 day long end to end journey can also be taken by passengers, and the Circum-Baikal line is especially popular with tourists. While today it is considered the most scenic portion of the railroad hugging the coastline of a beautiful lake, this lake created enormous challenges during the original construction of the line. Originally without a plan for how to safely go around the lake, they would use a system of ferries to move train cars across the lake, and for 5 years using icebreakers to carry the train when the lake froze. In the winter of 1903-1904 the freezing was so extensive they simply laid tracks on the ice and hauled the train cars by horse. Their solution today is much more elegant and includes 14km of retaining wall, 200 bridges, 6 stone viaducts, and 39 tunnels that together total roughly 9km.

On this episode I sit down with Jonathan Mehring to talk about how he went from a kid growing up in a holler in Virginia in a log home his "return to the land" parents built with no concrete in sight, to a skateboard enthusiast and one of the most well traveled skateboard photographers in the world, and finally the way that would lead him to working with National Geographic on his book "Skate the World" to help spread the global message of skateboard culture.  As a kid growing up in a rural town with pretty adventurous and outdoor enthusiastic parents, skateboarding wasn't necessarily the first thing that you would assume would become the driving force of Jonathan's life, but while driving around one day, he got a glimpse of a skater airing it out over a privacy fence of a backyard ramp and that scene would stick with him and alter the direction of his life.  Once that passion was paired with a high school photography class, his future was suddenly becoming more clear.  He would go on to study photography in college and try to ignore the advice his professors gave him to give up on the idea of photographing something like skateboarding. Before long he proved them wrong by signing on as a photographer with slap magazine.  After a long run there, and several trips to Europe, he got the travel bug and an opportunity to work with Skateboarder.  It would be at that publication that he would soon birth a mission to go to the most remote skate locals he could imagine and create editorial skate trips like no one else had ever seen.  During our conversion we talk about what it was like to ride motorcycles from Hanoi to Saigon looking for skateable terrain, how he convinced a magazine to let him spend months on the Trans Siberian Railroad, what it was like to realize that he had helped get National Geographic interested in skate culture, and the advice he gives to others with big dreams of travel and photography.   To Learn More About Jonathan Mehring Visit: http://www.mehringphoto.com And Follow Him on Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/mehringsbearings/ To Learn More About Visual Revolutionary Visit: http://www.visualrevolutionary.com And Follow on Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/visualrevolutionary/

Since 1991, I have told my students stories of two friends and me traveling around the world, including the legendary Trans-Siberian Railroad. Our trip began and ended in Hsinchu, Taiwan, where we were living at the time. We traveled from Taipei to Hong Kong to Guangzhou to Beijing, where we visited the Great Wall. My friend and fellow-traveler Mr. Terry Racher joins us as a guest. This episode picks up with our departure from Beijing, and then we discuss the six days and nights across Siberia by train, arrival in Moscow on July 4, arrival in the recently reunified Berlin, and our respective trips home and then back to Taiwan.Word of the Day: Trans-Siberian Railroad (n.) the railroad crossing Siberia, from East to WestWord Stem: “trans”: acrossOther words with the stem “trans”： translation, transition, transportationQuestion of the Day: Would you like to take a train trip for six days and night?

Episode 10: Trip Around the World (Part 1)For more than a quarter century, I have told my students tales of two buddies and me traveling around the world, including the legendary Trans-Siberian Railroad, in 1991. Our trip began and ended in Hsinchu, Taiwan, where we were living at the time. We voyaged from Guangzhou, China to Berlin, Germany, all by rail, with other portions done by water and air. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and it came at a pivotal time in the modern age. In 1991, China had only been reopened to the outside world for about twelve years, the USSR was in its last six months, and Germany had been reunited less than one year. My friend and fellow-traveler Mr. Terry Racher joins us for this episode. We discuss why we decided to make the trip, how it started, and it goes up to our departure from Beijing on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Word of the Day: circumnavigate (verb) to travel around the worldWord Stem: “circum” = aroundOther words with “circum”: circumference, circumstances, circumspect Question of the Day: Do you know anyone who has circumnavigated the globe?

Born in the streets of Los Angeles, Las Cafeteras are children of immigrants who are remixing roots music and telling modern day stories with eclectic instruments, including jarana’s, requinto, a donkey jawbone, a West African bass instrument called the Marimbol, cajón, and a wooden platform called the Tarima used to dance Zapateado. Las Cafeteras formed as a band in 2008  to document the histories of their neighborhoods through music. They started as students of the Eastside Café, a Zapatista inspired community space in East Los Angeles where they were influenced by the culture, storytelling, and poetic music of Son Jarocho, a traditional music from Veracruz, Mexico. To honor women and challenge masculine language, they feminized their group name by calling themselves, Las Cafeteras, rather than Los Cafeteros. They have recently returned from a sold out national tour and will be playing Friday night at California State University in Northridge. The daughter of musicians, Kesenia Valenti was born and raised in the port of Khodka, Russia – literally the last stop on the Trans-Siberian Railroad.  The isolation didn’t stop her.  She began studying classical piano at 6, was a finalist on the national Russian television program ‘Sing if you Can” and found a way to move to Los Angeles to study acting and continue her musical career. She began working with producer Mario Marchetti and songwriter Gino Barletta to craft high energy, rhythmic pop songs based on her life.  At the same time she began studying comedy, producing comedy videos and acting.  Now a triple threat, she has just released her first single, with more on the way.

In Season 1 Episode 6 of Breaking Walls, the topic of discussion is: Switching Gears in Your Professional Environment & How To Make It Work. Our guest is former Municipal Bonds Salesman-turned author and world-traveler Steven Attanasio. If you have been thinking about changing careers, this is a powerful conversation for you. Steve and I talk about all the things that led up to his decision to leave his job, and how that decision has helped his life since. He also gives important advice for those who have been considering the same thing. Highlights • Steve talks about how he left a successful career in Municipal Bonds sales because he wanted to find out more about who he was and what his passions were. • Steve’s Journey Aboard the Trans-Siberian Railroad. • Staying in a Mongolian yurt with a native family. • The Importance of the melting pot culture Steve experienced growing up in Brooklyn and the brotherhood he found with his close-knit high school community. • The Importance of family pride and traditions getting passed down through generations to keep the good things from the past alive. • The reality that man people in their 20s and beyond struggle with the fact that adult life has no syllabi for you to help figure out what you want, and how finding ways to go after your passions is a good way to help figure life out. • How a chance encounter at a wedding turned into a year-long journey for Steve, which culminated in his authoring Untouched Heroics: the True Life-Story of 95 Tony Varone. Tony is an Italian immigrant raised in Brooklyn, New York who served in the United States Army from January 1941 until June 1945. Surviving eight campaigns as an infantryman in World War II, Tony escaped death and injury innumerable times, and saved a significant number of lives in the process. • What Steve’s doing now. After dedicating over a year of his life to telling this incredible story, Steve recently returned to the financial world in a much different and unique role, investing in multiple asset classes, where he hopes to learn more about the global economy, and the companies, industries, and countries that operate within it, with a fresh perspective.
