The Border - a Journey Around Russi by Erika Fatland
4.0
An absolute epic of a historical travelogue (really leaning into the history component), covering 14 fascinating and troubled parts of the world. Fatland delves deep into what makes each country, what their drive and relationship is with each other and Russia, and how they got to where they are.
It is very readable, but obviously very long. There were times when facts flew in one eyeball and out the other, and there were times where I was gripped, leaning into the places I’d visited.
I’m looking forward to Sovietstan, and braving her newest High.
9/10
