Down the Volga
9.99 €
The Volga - on the one hand, a metaphor of concentrated "Russian life", on the other, a two-week hedonistic voyage - has for several centuries attracted the attention of foreigners wishing to get to know Russia without having to test themselves by traveling along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The collection "Down the Volga" includes three reports of foreign specialists who visited the Volga in the Soviet years. Together they provide not only an interesting look at the USSR from inside the "showcase of the great experiment", but also capture in the moment the conditions of the cities descending along the Volga to the South of Russia, noting their local peculiarities arising at the intersection of the vertical of the river and the horizontal contexts of the country.
