This new volume covers the next 35 years. Much relates to the author's continuing ongoing interest in Russia and Russians, which significantly influenced these years following his return to the UK. The author's life has been a potpourri of fascinating and worrying events, including Brexit, the war in Ukraine, and visits on behalf of the Foreign Office to the Balkan states and the South Pacific. The book tells how, following the tragic death of Princess Diana, the Patron of the charity for Russian children, he, in conjunction with Great Ormond Street Hospital, established Diana Memorial Scholarships for young Russian paediatricians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMemories beyond 'Moscow continues the story of one remarkable doctor's\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003epersonal and professional engagement with Russia, including his Herculean efforts to improve Russian medical services for both children and adults, and his\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eattempts to persuade Putin to stop the war in Ukraine.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSir David Manning - British Ambassador to the United States of America from 2003 to 2007\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This second volume of Dr Lipman's memoirs is a vivid series of vignettes of his travels around the world as a doctor with the Diplomatic Service, and his work over many years to support the development of child-centred paediatric care in one Moscow children's hospital and across the Russian medical system.
