5/27/2023 0 Comments Road of bones golden![]() ![]() I am always pleased to see a new book by a Russian author or a new book on Russia myself. I speak poor Russian but have a good knowledge of Russian history, literature, cinema, art, music and culture. The book takes as its compass both the voices of history and those of today and draws a map of the cities and steppes of the Russian people's battered but ultimately indefatigable spirit. This is a book about life and about death and about the strength of will it takes to celebrate the former while living in the shadow of the latter.Īnecdotal and epic, The Road of Bones follows the author's journey along this road, into the past and back again. It looks into the hearts and reveals the histories of those whose lives have been changed by what is known by many as simply The Greatest of Roads.

For over 200 years, the route of the Vladimirka Road has been at the centre of the nation's history, having witnessed everything from the first human footsteps to the rise of Putin and his oil-rich oligarchy.
