International Financial Corporation (World Bank subdivision focusing on the private sector) on the preparation of the Sakhalin Indigenous Minorities Development Plan:
‘Since most consultations took place during the winter months, a special focus was on enabling the most disadvantaged members of the local community, such as senior citizens, to attend. Vehicles were provided to those who needed them, and younger community members escorted the elderly. Where possible, the consultations were timed to start after the end of the day’s fishing trips. Time was allocated for the participants to share their problems and concerns. The organisers made sure that all those present were treated respectfully, and efforts were made to reach a consensus. As a result, the meetings turned out extremely long, but people felt that their presence mattered’. See International Finance Corporation.

News22.02.2019 Revelations of the Soul On 8 February 2019, the Nogliki Library reading hall hosted the presentation of the Angela Muvchik's poetry book Revelations of the Soul. The event had the aura of a cosy, friendly gathering. The poetry reading left a warm feeling in the audience’s hearts. The attendees described the poems as sincere and soulful verses on the nature, life, and issues that interest the debuting poetess. The author answered the questions of the event’s host Tatyana Sitnikova. Three of the poems from the book were recited in the Uilta language. They had been translated by the great friend of the library, Elena Bibikova, who is always willing to lend a helping hand. This makes Revelations of the Soul relevant not only for the fans of poetry but also for the members of the Uilta people who wish to read in their native language and for those who study it. Touched by the beauty of her poetry, event attendees asked Angela Muvchik to keep up the good work, continue writing and publishing books. Both the author and the guests spared no kind words for the employees of the library, who are always eager to assist district residents that come to the library for help. Thanks to them, many exciting initiatives have become a reality. At the end of the event, the attendees got the writer’s autograph in their copies of Revelations of the Soul they received as gifts.
