As I have mentioned in my book, "39 Months in Siberia" (there's a plug for book sales), Russia can be a facinating place - even for Russians.

Next time I do an Amazon order I'll get a copy. My only reading on Russia has been in Hans Von Lucks book about his capture. He liked Russia, other than the POW part.
