500    Translation of: Couchsurfing in Russland, from the German.
504    Includes bibliographical references. 
520    "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."--|cProvided by publisher.
