The first Russian Antarctic expedition 1819-1821 under the leadership of Thaddeus Bellingshausen (ship "Vostok") and Mikhael Lazarev (ship "Mirny") took place in the waters of the Southern Ocean. It was intended to prove or disprove the assumption of the existence of the sixth continent - Antarctica. All scientific observations of geography, ethnography and natural science were carried out by officers and the professor of Kazan University Ivan Simonov. To fix the events, landscapes of open islands and biological species academician of painting Pavel Mikhailov was taken.

Expedition 1819-1821 became the second (after James Cook), which sailed around the entire Antarctic. Of the 751 days of the expedition, 527 were carried out under sail; the total length of the route was 49,860 nautical miles. 127 days the expedition was in latitudes above 60 ° S. W .; the team approached the shores of Antarctica 9 times, including four times at a distance of 3-15 km. 28 objects were plotted on on the map of Antarctica, 29 islands were discovered and named in the high southern latitudes and tropics.
On May 24, 1820, travelers reached New Zealand, on May 27, anchored in the Queen Charlotte Bay (Totaranui), on May 28 the historic first meeting of the expedition with the Maori natives took place. The places visited by Russian sailors were a link between the tribes of the North and South Islands, and after the destruction of the Maori clan by neighboring warlike tribes in 1828, P. Mikhailov's recordings, sketches and ethnographic collections are historical sources of paramount importance. The expedition left New Zealand on June 3.

Tapa - a fabric made of wood bark, an invention of the indigenous people of New Zealand. To make tapa, you need to take a tree bark, soak and roll it for a long time. Stamping made using leaves. This exhibit came to Kazan after the expedition of Simonov. In the 19th century, Europeans massively exported tapu from New Zealand - and the fishery was on the verge of extinction.
Maori leader mannequin made of wax. Order of the first head of the Department of Geography and Ethnology of Kazan University Peter Krotov at the end of the 1880s at the Umlyauf laboratory in Hamburg. Characteristic tattoos on the mannequin's face are not fiction of the master, tattoos were redrawn from photographs of real people.
In Kazan, there is also a head of a Maori man; it is kept in the KFU Zoological Museum. Participants of a delegation of the Maori tribe that recently visited Kazan held memorial rites in the museum, said prayers and asked for forgiveness.

Film №1 "Maori. Children of Hawaiki. " Māori is believed to have appeared in New Zealand in the 12th century AD. And their ancestral home is the mythical country of Hawaiki, whose name was preserved in ancient Maori legends. Polynesia (and the Maori belong to the Polynesians) are dozens of peoples and more than 1000 islands in the central and southern parts of the Pacific Ocean.
Film №2 "Maori. Linked by one past. " Europeans began the colonization of New Zealand in the 19th century. And for a long time they treated the indigenous people - the Maori - as representatives of primitive culture, savages. Many stereotypes still exist. But the Maori culture is much deeper and richer than it seems at first glance.
Film №3 "Maori. The test of civilization. " In the 18th century, James Cook rediscovered New Zealand, and a flood of immigrants from Europe poured into the country. European civilization brought the Maori a lot of grief and misfortune. The long and dramatic history of the relationship between Maori and immigrants from Europe is the main theme of the third film.
Film No. 4 "New People of New Zealand." Family stories of today's New Zealanders of European descent testify: they were people of remarkable will, determination and courage. They managed to create today's mixed breeding culture of New Zealand, which intertwined the achievements of the Maori culture and Old World civilization.
