I have divided the journey write-up into smaller and more manageable sections, and in January I will start with the first of these sections: probably the Poland/Belarus journey and then Germany. So not in order as such, but in an order of manageability.
(One reason I haven't got the zine underway yet is because I built it up into being too big a thing, and I always shy away from big undertakings.)
The sections are (probably):
UK: Newcastle-London
France: Paris-Lyon
Switzerland (big section)
Germany: Dresden-Berlin: 8 pages, half = cartoon of young Bakunin
Belarus-Poland journey: 8 pages
St Petersburg 1
Journey across Russia: Kazan, Ekaterinburg, Decembrist journeys & other map-based intros to anarchist(ish) Russia.
Lake Baikal
Border
Chita
Irkutsk
Moscow
Dmitrov
St Petersburg departure
Finland & exile
Stockholm & Copenhagen
Amsterdam/Hague
Newcastle return & reflections

Each of these sections will be printed separately and bound, possibly by sowing, in such a way that they attach to each other as collections of pages rather than altogether. So I not only have extra reading about Bakunin & Kropotkin's life to do, but also a proper gen up on bookbinding.
Hey Mike - people always shy away from big undertakings, it's completely natural to do so. You might be able to get some info on bookbinding from the lit and Phil? Best of luck!
