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.
