Description
This account of Colin Thubron's 15,000-mile journey through Russia is a fascinating exploration of a country in transition. Thubron's travels took him across the vast landmass, from the site of the last Czar's murder to the ice-bound graves of ancient Sythians, and from the remnants of a so-called Jewish state to the deepest and oldest of the world's lakes, Baikal.
Along the way, he encountered a diverse range of people, including Buddhists, animists, radical Christian sects, and reactionary Communists, all navigating the ruins of Communism and moving into more private, diverse, and often stranger worlds.
Thubron's journey offers a unique insight into the complexities of modern Russia, and his travelogue is widely regarded as one of the finest books about contemporary Russia.
