Synopsis:

Two journalists – one Russian, one American – embark on a month-long, 6000-kilometer road trip down “The Spine of Russia.” Their goal is to step behind the blaring headlines about East-West conflict and competition, to see how Russians are living and hear what they have to say about our world. The journey stretches from Russia’s northern border on the frigid shores of the Barents Sea to the tropical city of Sochi, traversing three geographic regions, visiting 22 cities and towns, and touching on five seas. Both an engaging, humorous traveler’s tale and an in-depth investigation of modern Russian life, Driving Down Russia’s Spine profiles over forty Russians laboring to transform their communities, to make their world a better place.

Recensione: "Richardson... knows his Russian history and relies on it in presenting a unique perspective on this fascinating country. Encounters with colorful Russians of all stripes enliven his engaging read." - Ethan De Seife, Seven Days
