Far from Moscow and St Petersburg, there lies another Russia. Overlooked by the urban elites and almost unknown to the West, in the provincial hinterlands of the Volga River and Siberia, Russians struggle to reconcile their old traditions with a new and unfamiliar world. This work reveals how in Russia the past and the present cannot be separated.
