In 1581 a Cossack raider crossed the Ural Mountains to plunder and
claim for Tsar Ivan IV the land called "Sibir" by its Tatar
inhabitants. Within half a century, Moscow's reach would extend
nearly six thousand miles to the east. Thus Russia has a long
history as part of Asia. Does it have a future there as well?
Rediscovering Russia in Asia takes the reader on a trans-Siberian
expedition to encounter the peoples, cultures, and riches of
Russia's eastern expanses. The expert guides are scholars with the
language skills and the sense of adventure to explore a "crossroads
of civilizations" at long last reopened to the world.
