Peak Communism
Peak Communism (now Peak Ismail Samoni)
Peak Communism (7495 m) is situated on the joint of the Academiya Nauk Range and Peter Pervy Range, North West Pamirs. The peak is the highest summit of former USSR. The peak Korjenevskoy (7105 m) the 4-th summit of the former USSR — 12 km to the North from the Peak Communism.

Three glaciers — Fortambek, Moskvin and Valter flow down the North slope of the Peak Communism. Base camp is on grass meadow — Moskvin Meadow — between Valter and Moskvin glaciers, 4100 m. Camping is in tents. Here you have a wide choice of routes to Peak Communism, Peak Korjenevskoy and other summits of this region. One of the wonders of nature in this region is the Big Firn Plateau — the flat snow field 12x3 km on the altitude over 6000 m. The aria around Moskvin Medow is one of most beautiful mountain places of the World.

The region is very interesting for a climbing. During acclimatization you climb different mountains: peak Vorobiev, peak Chetyrekh, peak Korjenevskoy (7105 m), seeing picturesque views of great Central Pamirs mountains from different points. If somebody could not climb 7000 m summits (Communism or Korjenevskoy) because of bad weather or some other reasons he would get satisfaction having climbed not so giants, but very big mountains.

For your pleasure we have: Peak Communism Small Package and Peak Communism Full Package
