'One of the finest books about contemporary Russia' Observer This
is the account of Thubron's 15,000-mile journey through an
astonishing country - one twelfth of the land surface of the whole
earth. He journeyed by train, river and truck among the people most
damaged by the breakup of the Soviet Union, traveling among
Buddhists and animists, radical Christian sects, reactionary
Communists and the remnants of a so-call Jewish state; from the
site of the last Czar's murder and Rasputin's village, to the
ice-bound graves of ancient Sythians, to Baikal, deepest and oldest
of the world's lakes. It is the story of a people moving through
the ruins of Communism into more private, diverse and often
stranger worlds. 'If there were a Nobel Prize for travel writing,
Thubron should win it' Daily Mail
