Description
A literary-political travelogue discussing contemporary real Russia, specifically the author's journeys through Siberia and the Arctic, sailing on cargo ships along the Yenisei River, and visiting "non-touristic destinations of the Far North," supplemented with numerous illustrations and document reproductions in the text and, above all, an extensive visual appendix (128 color pages / 650 unique photographs, infographics, and orientation maps). The volume contains both realia / facts about the local nature, landmarks, ethnography, mythology, and everyday life of the local ethnic groups, as well as the author's personal experiences and impressions, along with informed comments and references to historical, cultural, and political contexts, including a discussion of the GULAG phenomenon. In the words of Václav Marhoul: "It is really far, far more than just a travelogue!"
