Description

Sovietistan

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan all became independent when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. How have these countries developed since then? 

In Sovietistan, prizewinning author Erika Fatland takes the reader on an unforgettable journey through these former Soviet Republics, where life follows another pace of time.

Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the bleakness of Soviet architecture, Erika Fatland moves with her openness towards the people and the landscapes around her. This is a rare and unforgettable travelogue, translated from the Norwegian by Kari Dickson.
