On July 2, 2015 at 13:00 at Institute of Oriental studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the presentation of the book of the Chairman of the Russian Central Electoral Commission, Vladimir Evgenyevich Churov "Travel to Morocco with Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan" was held with assistance of IMESClub, first of all in the person of the vice-president of Club – Nikolay Sukhov who gave significant assistance to the author in the process of materials collection.

The bookis remarkable by the fact that it was written on the basis of a personal, family document – the traveling diary belonging to the author's father. In the book illustrated by a set of unique photos, documents and other visual materials, V.E. Churov skillfully connected microhistory, an episode in the biography of a captain of the first rank, a senior teacher of Naval academy of the USSR, with recent global history, with a big political game in which world powers were involved in the 60th years of the last century. So the notebook became not less important and valuable document, than government telegrams, shorthand reports of official talks or reports of the officials. For the orientalists Evgeny Petrovich Churov's diary is an invaluable source of data on public life of Morocco, life and customs of its inhabitants during the period of history about which there are no other unofficial records in Russian.

The presentation of the book passed in the cozy informal atmosphere. For the current moment the book is available in bookstores in Russia only.

During the meeting a proposal on the translation of the book into French with the adaptation for the foreign reader with its subsequent presentation in Morocco was made. IMESClub is extremely interested in assistance with initiatives such kind.
