Farewell to Russia A Journey Through the Former USSR [#1042185]
Farewell to Russia: A Journey Through the Former USSR by Joe Luc Barnes
English | October 6th, 2026 | ISBN: 9798897102006 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 14.06 MB
By turns hilarious, angry, and revelatory, this is a striking portrait of a region the West still misunderstands-and a warning of what happens when empires fall apart but their cultural habits refuse to die.
Snow, concrete, the KGB: that's the cliché of the Soviet Union. But its collapse in 1991 sparked a story at once complicated and more compelling than any stereotype. Thirty-five years on, Moscow may brim with champagne bars and blacked-out Mercedes-but what became of the other fourteen states that emerged from its ashes?
In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Joe Luc Barnes crossed the former USSR to find out, from the gleaming towers of Azerbaijan to the former gulags of Kazakhstan, tech-hungry Estonia to the minarets of Uzbekistan. Along the way, he finds epic mountains, cobblestoned old towns, and storied Silk Road cities-not to mention Georgian wine, Armenian brandy, and vodka in industrial supply.
Traveling thousands of miles by rattling platzkart train, hitchhiking, and riding in the white cars mandated by Turkmenistan's dictator, he gathers a chorus of voices: nomads in mountain yurts, TikTok-fueled activists, small-town taxi drivers, and many who still look uneasily over their shoulder for the secret police.
These people and voices might have said goodbye to the USSR but can they ever say farewell to Russia? By turns hilarious, angry, and heart-stopping, this is an indispensable political adventure. If you loved The Silk Roads, Nothing to Envy, or The Places in Between, and have a soft spot for Bill Bryson, this is the book for you.
