Russian and American journalists Mikhail Mordasov and Paul E. Richardson traveled 6,000 kilometers from Russia's northwestern corner in the Arctic to Sochi, in the tropical climes of the Black Sea. This bilingual coffee table book is the gorgeous photographic journal of that epic road trip. It includes over 200 compelling images of Russians and Russian places met along the way, plus a dozen texts (in both English and Russian) on everything from business to education, from roads to fools. A museum quality hardcover photo book, The Spine of Russia is a vivid portrait of modern Russian life, and includes over 40 environmental portraits of "heroes" interviewed in depth by the journalists, each of whom was asked the timely question: "Do you consider yourself a patriot, and if so, of what and why?" (Their fascinating answers were all over the map...) Organized in a unique, non-linear style, The Spine of Russia allows readers to construct their own trip across Russia. This is truly a volume you will treasure for years to come. The perfect gift for a Russophile!

The Spine of Russia

Russian Information Services, Inc.

Call it resilience, grit, or just perseverance - it takes a special sort of person to have survived the last 100 years of Russian and Soviet history. The 22 heroes in this volume were all born in 1917 - Russia's year of revolution - somewhere within the bounds of the Russian empire as it then existed. They lived through Civil War, Collectivization, World War II, the Cold War, and the collapse of the USSR. Indeed, their lives are a living reflection of the past Russian century, and their stories show us a side of history not available in any other resource. The authors of this project sought out these centenarians for months, then traveled over 20,000 kilometers across Russia and Eastern Europe, from sprawling metropolises to tiny villages, capturing poignant images, moving life stories, and stunning video. This book is the fruit of those efforts.
