What would it be like to traverse the entirety of the Russian periphery to examine its effects on those closest to her? Fatland has created a book about Russia-- without ever entering Russia itself. He gets to the heart of what it has meant to be the neighbor of that mighty, expanding empire throughout history, as readers experience the colorful, exciting, tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations along with their cultures, their people, their landscapes. -- Adapted from jacket 600 10 Fatland, Erika,|d1983-|xTravel. 650 0 Travel writing. 651 0 Soviet Union|xForeign relations. 651 0 Russia (Federation)|xForeign relations. 651 0 Russia (Federation)|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Korea (North)|xDescription and travel. 651 0 China|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Mongolia|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Kazakhstan|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Azerbaijan|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Georgia (Republic)|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Ukraine|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Belarus|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Lithuania|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Poland|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Latvia|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Estonia|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Finland|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Norway|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Northeast Passage|xDescription and travel. 655 7 Travel writing.|2lcgft 700 1 Dickson, Kari,|etranslator. 730 0 Grensen.|lEnglish.
