Kuvshinovo, Soligalich, Pestyaki, Ostashkov, Gryazovets, Krasnye Baki... For Mikhail Baru, traveling through the remote corners of the Moscow, Ivanovo, Vologda, Tver, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kostroma regions is not only an exploration of Russia's contradictory history, but also an opportunity to see the image of our country that has formed beyond the capital, where the traces of the past are clearly visible behind the slanted present. The ability to freely move between times makes this space almost magical, and the author-traveler enthusiastically chronicles the metamorphoses that constantly occur not only with the inhabitants of these places, but also with himself. Mikhail Baru is a poet, prose writer, translator, and chemical engineer. 2nd edition.
