Like many today, half of Aaron’s Alaskan adventure is getting there. In 1829, Aaron Katz fled his home in the Russian ‘Pale of Settlement’ to his father in Siberia. Not a place he could survive, Aaron travels on to Russia-Alaska. In his vast journeys, he becomes a Russian Naval officer, a merchant, and one who wrestles with life and the diverse cultures of people in the Last Frontier. This is a Russian-Alaskan life and one from nearly two hundred years ago that reminds us to study for our own sake.
Beginnings
Our story begins in a small thatch-roofed house on the edge of Lutsk. In the spring of 1829, it was Russian, though newly acquired Russian land since the division of Poland. Lutsk straddles the Styr River, which flows to the Dnieper and then the Black Sea. Like many rivers in this part of the world, it watered rich farmlands with few barriers on the endless Eurasian steppe.
Chelm Street was a street behind the main road leading north to Mylushi, which followed the bends of the Styr. Along the Mylushi Road, in this part of Lutsk, one could find stone or brick homes. The few citizens who had money wanted others to know. Being set back, Chelm Street did not have such citizens as many were not citizens.
Lutsk was within ‘The Pale of Settlement.’ When Russia annexed the land, the people were a mixed bunch, but mostly not followers of Russian Orthodoxy, not citizens. Partially as a buffer, partially to assimilate, Jews were forcibly moved to the Pale. With hardly any economic prospects, life in the Pale was a struggle. The waves of poor Jewish exiles from the Russian Empire created much talk in the markets, synagogues, and homes.
Our thatch-roofed house had constant visitors. During the summers, the moter (Zelde) would sit with her friends out back under the summer kitchen awning. A well nearby was shared by her two neighbors, her milking cow, and her son (Aaron). On this north side of the house, you would hear talk. “I heard the Zemnovs are moving. This town is losing some of its best people. What are we to do?” Zelde would spend as much time as she could with her friends as her life was busy being the only parent at home.
Her husband, Joseph, had been gone for over two years. Her eldest, Joshua, had left not long after her husband, following him east. “East! G.. forbid!” Joseph followed Lord Muravyov, a Decembrist, who was lucky to be alive. Their years fighting Napoleon and occupying France had forged a lifelong bond. Lord Muravyov, who knew a thousand soldiers, picked Joseph to be by his side. It was because of Joseph’s people skills, his ability to smash through obstacles, to find solutions in the middle of disasters. More importantly, it was his ability to speak so many of the needed languages: Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, Yiddish, Lithuanian, German, and most importantly for Lord Muravyov: French.
One cannot talk about Decembrists without understanding the impact of the French, their ideals, and the years Russians, like Lord Muravyov and Joseph, spent occupying France where they were steeped in these new ideas of ‘Liberty.’ When Lord Muravyov and Joseph returned to Lutsk, they joined the new ‘Union of Salvation.’ Together, they worked their connections, spreading the ideas of ‘Constitutional Monarchy’ and the ‘End of Serfdom.’ Within time, their ideas did spread but landed them in one of Earth’s most foreboding pits of despair: Siberia.

Description de la boutique
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
