Traveling the border of Russia was quite the feat, and I felt like I was on this journey with Erika. When I told my friends and family about what I was reading, I would often say: "We're in [insert country] today," to describe my progress in the book. I learned a lot about Russia's influence and history through the changing borders and conversations with locals. Historical anecdotes could be dense at times, and I was thankful that I took a course on Imperial Russia in college. I also recommend reading her book Sovietistan first as she references those experiences in this book.
