Bärenjagd in Russland

The brown bear has always enjoyed a very high status in Russia. This has not changed until today. And the bear population is currently quite high again. At the beginning of the 21st century, the number of Russian bears was estimated at around 130,000 animals. The large number of brown bears not only contributed considerably to the Russian people's knowledge about bears, but also to a highly developed bear hunting. There were and are many passionate bear hunters in Russia - from all walks of life. And there were and are many in Russia who write about the bear and bear hunting, and not only zoologists and hunters, but even such great writers as Leo Tolstoy. The book "Bear Hunting in Russia" combines high-level knowledge of bears and bear hunting with a high level of writing. It is therefore not only a book for hunters and those interested in wildlife, but also for friends of Russian narrative art.The authors of this anthology edited by Ingolf Natmessnig: Prince Shirinsky-Shikhmatov, N.
