Russland ist anders: Nach über 25 Jahren Wohnen und Arbeiten in Russland weiß der Schweizer Rechtsanwalt Professor Karl Eckstein, wie man dort erfolgreich Geschäfte macht. Als großer Russland-Kenner plaudert er höchst unterhaltsam, aber immer mit großer Sachkenntnis aus dem Nähkästchen. Bei Business-Meetings werden parallel noch Gespräche am Handy geführt. Am Tisch wird hemmungslos geraucht, während die anderen essen. Aber "Die Brüder Karamasow" von Dostojewski haben alle gelesen und erwarten das auch von ihrem Geschäftspartner.

"Igors æblehave" er Bjørn Harvigs beretning om hans cykelrejse fra det sommerlyse Skandinavien og ud på Ruslands uendelige veje, hvor landevejsrøvere spøger og vodkaen er billig. En rejse ind i de forladte byer i Tjernobyls skygge og ud til Sortehavets bredder. Ind i Kaukasus’ vilde bjerge, hvor middelalderbyer, Kalashnikovs og arrige hunde byder velkommen. Og endelig en rejse ind i Irans menneskelige mangfoldighed og til smagen af sød te. Kan gæstfriheden og Bjørns taknemmelighed over at møde fremmede venner overskygge de gribende indtryk af områder præget af krig, hungersnød og etniske udrensninger?

”Kaukasus og kildevand” fortæller om Bjørn Harvigs rejse til fods fra Sortehavet til Det Kaspiske Hav. Bjørn er ikke nogen almindelig eventyrer, det handler ikke så meget om at komme fra A til B, men mere om hvilke mennesker, han møder på vejen. Bjørn er god til at tale med folk, og i bogen genfortæller han mange af de skæbner, han mødte på sin lange rejse. Han fortæller om Ninel (Lenin stavet bagfra), som har 10 børn og som går tre km til den nærmeste sauna, for at få sig sit ugentlige bad. Han fortæller om drengen Nal, som drømmer om at blive fodboldstjerne.

Discovering the Russian soul is like opening a matryoshka, a Russian doll, revealing the many layers. The Russian Orthodox religion is unique, Russian history is tragic, and the people are unpredictable. Russia's military and political power, as well as the rich contribution of its art and culture, is the result of an inner dynamic not always understood by outsiders.

The Amur River is almost unknown. Yet it is the 10th longest river in the world, rising in the Mongolian mountains and flowing through Siberia to the Pacific. For 1,100 miles, it forms the tense border between Russia and China. Haunted by the memory of land-grabs and unequal treaties, this is the most densely fortified frontier on Earth. In his 80th year, Colin Thubron takes a dramatic journey from the Amur's secret source to its giant mouth, covering almost 3,000 miles.

In 1989 the Berlin Wall fell. In that euphoric year Rory MacLean travelled from Berlin to Moscow, exploring lands that were - for most Brits and Americans - part of the forgotten half of Europe. Thirty years on, MacLean traces his original journey backwards, across countries confronting old ghosts and new fears: from revanchist Russia, through Ukraine’s bloodlands, into illiberal Hungary and then Poland, Germany and the UK.

As a crossroads for the great empires of Asia, this area offers journalist Dominic Ziegler a lens with which to examine the societies at Europe's only borderland with East Asia.

Ian Frazier trains his eye for unforgettable detail on Siberia, that vast expanse of Asiatic Russia. He explores many aspects of this storied, often grim region. He writes about the geography, the resources, the native peoples, the history, the 40-below midwinter afternoons, the bugs. The book brims with Mongols, half-crazed Orthodox archpriests, fur seekers, ambassadors of the czar bound for Peking, tea caravans, German scientists, American prospectors, intrepid English nurses, and prisoners and exiles of every kind....

With the writers of the Golden Age as her guides - Pushkin and Tolstoy, among others - Sara Wheeler searches for a Russia not in the news, traveling from rinsed northwestern beet fields and the Far Eastern Arctic tundra to the cauldron of nationalities, religions, and languages in the Caucasus. Wheeler follows local guides; boards with families in modest homestays; eats roe, pelmeni, and cabbage soup; invokes recipes from Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking; learns the language; and observes the pattern of outcry and silence that characterizes life under Vladimir Putin.

È il 1975 quando Jan Brokken rimane folgorato da San Pietroburgo, l'allora Leningrado, patria splendente e malinconica di poeti e dissidenti, folli e geni, disperati e amanti, culla della ribellione agli zar e poi al regime sovietico in nome della libertà dell'arte e dello spirito. In occasione del centenario della Rivoluzione d'Ottobre, Brokken ci accompagna nelle sue passeggiate fra presente e passato attraverso strade, teatri, case e musei sulle tracce dei personaggi che hanno reso Pietroburgo una capitale mitica della cultura europea.
