National Geographic Russia Magazine has published a big article about Blue lake Awareness Project and added a photo with Victor and his photo equipment to the editor-in chief’s word to the reader:
Jinn’s Jar
Residents relate the story of a 115-year old man, a member of WWI’s legendary ‘Wild Division’ cavalry, who said the elders of his day called the lake ‘Jinn’s Jar’, referring to powerful, demon-like spirits said to live in vessels shaped like lamps or jars and also because the lake’s shape resembled an inverted jar or lamp with narrowing neck downwards to a lip at its bottom.
