Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"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. Staying with an eclectic array of hosts, he bumps into gun nuts, Internet conspiracy theorists, faux shamans, and Putin fans; learns to drive in death-defying Russian style; and discovers how to cure hangovers by sniffing rye bread. But he also sees a darker side of the country, witnessing firsthand the effects of Putin's influence in the run-up to the 2016 American election and the power of propaganda in this "post-fact" era."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Journalist Orth delivers a jaunty description of his travels...[that] armchair travelers will enjoy.<br /><strong>--Publishers Weekly</strong></p> <p>"Funny, insightful, and mind-bendingly entertaining. Stephan Orth is a fearless and fabulous tour guide to the real Russia and its people.<br /><strong>--Lisa Dickey, author of <em>Bears in the Streets: Three Journeys across a Changing Russia</em></strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Stephan Orth</strong> is an acclaimed journalist and bestselling author.
