Inhaltsangabe
Russia is the largest country in the world by physical area. It is rich in raw materials, but is hindered by great distances. Its harsh winter climate and long and turbulent history have both played a role in shaping the lives of its people. To those of us in the West, Russia is often seen as mysterious, forbidding or as an enigma. It takes years of travel and exposure to really say that you know Russia. I have the experience, speaking the language moderately well and having traveled extensively from the Arctic shores to the Black Sea and from the Baltic Sea to the Kamchatka Peninsula on the Pacific Coast. And yet I am always learning something new each time I visit. This book is not a guide that you will want to take with you if you plan a trip. It is the kind of book you should read, especially if you are an American or Canadian, as it is written to bring Russia to you both as a land and as a people with distinctive characteristics. As the author, I am a dual Canadian-American, so I feel quite capable of showing you Russia within the context of our two North American cultures. This book will help you understand current events and how Russians view their position among the major powers of the world. I have attempted to be as unbiased and forthright as is possible in bringing Russia to you in a forthright manner.
