Central Asia in the history of Russo-German scientific contacts: P. K. Kozlov and Wilhelm Filchner


A book by the Russian explorer of Central Asia P. K. Kozlov’s Mongolia, Amdo, and the dead city Khara-Khoto was translated and published in Germany in 1925, when Soviet and German geographers were reestablishing their ties in the changed political situation after WWI and revolutions in both countries. The history of its publication is shown to be related to the personal plans of the book’s German editor, Wilhelm Filchner, to organize an expedition to Central Asia.
