Spent the last week in mangystau exploring the incredible landscapes and sacred sites in the region. Was lucky enough or visit underground mosques and sites rarely visited and interviewed several healers (емшілер) as well about the late Soviet period. Can’t wait to share what I’ve learned!

Hello everyone! My name is Abby - I’m a doctoral candidate based in Berlin studying tengrism during perestroika. I’ve been a visiting fellow in Astana for the last few months as I’ve been doing fieldwork. I’m a lover of mountains and have been studying Central Asia for almost a decade!
