​​Pavol Vitek, a famous Slovakian writer, visited Krasnoyarsk in January, 2018. It was a two-day visit on his railway trip through Russia. Even though Pavol's stay in Krasnoyarsk wasn't that long, he managed to see the main landmarks of Krasnoyarsk as well as enjoy the beauty of the Natural Reserve Stolby ("Rock Pillars"). A special treat from the Krasnoyarsk City Administration was a chance to enter the local Big Ben and have a look at Krasnoyarsk from the top of the clock tower.

Now Pavol Vitek's book is published and offers Slovakian readers an interesting story about the trip, with photos, interviews and personal impressions of Pavol and his daughter Sasha who accompanied him on this trip.
