Russia is the largest country in the world, a vibrant kaleidoscope of incredible landscapes and cultural diversity. It's not just endless expanses, but also Kamchatka's volcanoes, Chukchi camps, Buddhist datsans, Dagestani auls, and workshops where 14th-century frescoes are pieced together.

This book is ten journeys through the country's diverse landscapes: from the Kamchatka coast to the mountains of Dagestan, from remote Chukotka to the mysterious Kuril Islands. This is neither a travel guide nor a history book—it is a living, honest journey to meet people. The author speaks with reindeer herders in Yamal, looks into the eyes of Dagestani shepherds, learns the basics of icon painting in Veliky Novgorod, and watches sunrises on the Yenisei River. This book contains not only rare routes but also voices. Each region has its own character. Each hero has their own story.

- Why do nomadic languages have more verbs than nouns?
- How does a volcano influence a person's character?
- And what does an icon painter feel in a thousand-year-old church?
