The encounter changed M hling's life, triggering a number of journeys to Ukraine and deep into the Russian heartland on a quest for stories of ordinary and extraordinary people. Away from the bright lights of Moscow, M hling met and befriended a Dostoevskian cast of characters, including a hermit from Tayga who had only recently discovered the existence of a world beyond the woods, a Ukrainian Cossack who defaced the statue of Lenin in central Kiev, and a priest who insisted on returning to Chernobyl to preach to the stubborn few determined to remain in the exclusion zone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Unveiling a portion of the world whose contradictions, attractions, and absurdities are still largely unknown to people outside its borders, \u003ci\u003eA Journey into Russia\u003c\/i\u003e is a much-needed glimpse into one of today's most significant regions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jens M?ling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909961124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909961128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haus Pub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Jens M?ling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937409171711,"sku":"9781909961128","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6caa6067-4fb4-4418-85a8-6bd601d4898a.jpg?v=1681429891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-journey-into-russia-jens-mhling-9781909961128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
