摘要

Bullough (Caucasus editor, Inst. or War and Peace Reporting; Let Our Fame Be Great: Journeys Among the Defiant People of the Caucasus) presents an impassioned study of today's Russia that combines travel writing, biography, and social commentary. Alarmed by his observations of marked alcohol dependency and declining populations, Bullough concludes that a people oppressed and alienated by its government will revert to negative and destructive habits simply to get through a day.
