Notes
I would like to thank Dr Nick Megoran, Dr Denis Shaw, Professor Stephen Cunha, Dr Eva Maurer and the anonymous reviewers for their useful input and advice during the research and writing of this essay. The views, findings, interpretations and conclusions expressed in this article are those of the author alone and do not necessarily represent the official position of the OSCE and/or its participating States.
The direct translation from the Russian ‘pik’ tends to use the word ‘Peak’ and would be better recognised in the climbing literature as such but throughout the book by Romm he uses the term ‘Mount’. Following Romm's usage therefore, ‘Mount’ is used in the rest of this article.
For more on the actual climbing of Mount Stalin see Horsman (2002).
