Behind Putin's curtain : friendships and misadventures inside Russia
Orth, Stephan, 1979-2019
Books
"In the late summer of 2016," writes award-winning travel writer Stephan Orth, "a journey to Russia feels like visiting enemy territory." In this humorous and thought-provoking book, Orth ventures through that vast and mysterious territory to uncover the real, unfiltered Russia not seen in today's headlines: authentic, bizarre, dangerous and beautiful. Sidestepping the well-trod tourist path, he travels the country from Moscow to Vladivostok - across seven time zones and almost 9,500 kilometers - making stops in Chechnya, Saint Petersburg, Siberia and beyond.
