A review by gsanchez1971
Sovietistan by Erika Fatland

5.0

One of the most amazing, informative, and empathetic travelogues I’ve ever read. The former Soviet republics, long forgotten and isolated from Western eyes, is given much-needed attention by Erika Fatland’s thoughtful and keen observational prose. I went into “Sovietistan” knowing so little; now I truly want to learn more about the ‘Stans. Highly recommended.
