From Velsk and Pudozh to Yarensk and Urzhum… The third book of essays by Mikhail Baru is dedicated to places where a traveler eager for famous sights and popular destinations is unlikely to find themselves. However, each of these cities, like people, has its own unique biography and character. Steep and tragic turns of Russian history here are interspersed with amusing curiosities, private fates intertwine with public ones, and sorrow coexists with hope. Describing them with subtle irony and simultaneously with tenderness, Baru helps to see something very important in the history of provincial towns both for their residents and for those who have never been to these places. Mikhail Baru is a poet, prose writer, translator, chemical engineer, author of the books "Unprinted Gingerbreads" and "The English Queen's Tablecloth," published by the "New Literary Review."
