Lost Cosmonaut: Observations of an Anti-Tourist by Daniel Kalder

4.0

finished whilst isolating from having covid lol SO people who know me are aware i have a strange passion for post-Soviet states and their culture, history, people etc... this book is EXACTLY what I mean when I say I’m so curious about Russia!! I’m shocked this book has such few reviews! Youtuber Bald and Bankrupt advised to read it. You dive into the lives of Russian societies which have been given ethnic republics, but are completely abandoned by Moscow. The « anti-tourism » the author speaks of is basically going to places that would seem boring, but you gotta embrace it, it’s the whole point of discovering life in ethnic republics which are so unknown to us.
