Description
Another of the author's "literary-ethnographic-political travelogues" about contemporary real Russia. This volume, representing the introductory part of an eight-part series, is dedicated to the author's travels in the Idel-Ural region (Volga) and is, in fact, the only publication discussing this territory inhabited by seven nations, whose culture is virtually unknown to us. ***** The book, supplemented by an extensive visual appendix (160 color pages / 700 unique photographs, infographics, and maps), contains both the realities, facts about local landmarks, ethnography, mythology, spiritual and cultural traditions, and everyday life of the local nations (Bashkirs, Chuvash, Erzya, Mari, Moksha, Tatars, and Udmurts), as well as the author's personal experiences and impressions, along with informed comments and references to historical, cultural, and political contexts, including discussions on the Stalinist famine, the presence of Czechoslovak legions here, and the struggle of the local nations for freedom.
