Note for this slide carousal (file 13) reads: "Ladies and gentlemen - the pictures you are about to see this evening were taken on the first educational tour of Canadian travel agents to Siberia. We spent 3 weeks in Russia, visited nine cities and flew over 24,000 miles or almost the distance around the world. The trip was arranged by KLM, the Royal Dutch Airlines and looked after in Russia by intourist the official Soviet travel agency. Have often been asked if I had any problems taking pictures, well I did. Was stopped by policemen, guards at the airports, often by our guide who just said 'I told you no pictures here.' Often people objected to being photographed eg. large lady in GUM's who grabbed Cory Burke."
