Ebook About **One of Bustle's 17 of the Best Nonfiction Books Coming in January 2017 and Men's Journal's 7 Best Books of January**"Brilliant, real and readable." —former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright**A USA Today "New and Noteworthy" Book**Lisa Dickey traveled across the whole of Russia three times—in 1995, 2005 and 2015—making friends in eleven different cities, then coming back again and again to see how their lives had changed. Like the acclaimed British documentary series Seven Up!, she traces the ups and downs of ordinary people’s lives, in the process painting a deeply nuanced portrait of modern Russia. From the caretakers of a lighthouse in Vladivostok, to the Jewish community of Birobidzhan, to a farmer in Buryatia, to a group of gay friends in Novosibirsk, to a wealthy family in Chelyabinsk, to a rap star in Moscow, Dickey profiles a wide cross-section of people in one of the most fascinating, dynamic and important countries on Earth. Along the way, she explores dramatic changes in everything from technology to social norms, drinks copious amounts of vodka, and learns firsthand how the Russians really feel about Vladimir Putin. Including powerful photographs of people and places over time, and filled with wacky travel stories, unexpected twists, and keen insights, Bears in the Streets offers an unprecedented on-the-ground view of Russia today.Book Bears in the Streets: Three Journeys across a Changing Russia Review :
Not only is this a topical and interesting look at everyday Russians unfolding over the course of 20 years, it's a great read. The author is an insightful and entertaining storyteller. The stories and characters are compelling and the writing is top-notch.It's full of hilarious and heartbreaking encounters that were solidly relatable on the most human level. It seems that not all Russians are reflections of their leader, just as not all Americans are reflections of ours.I also appreciated that the book is written in such a way that it's easy to pick up, read a story and then return for another later- except that I couldn't stop. It's that compelling. BEARS IN THE STREETS is Lisa Dickey’s Russian travelogue x 3.In 1995, as a U.S.- born writer wannabe living in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Lisa crossed Russia ‒ St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk, Lake Baikal, Galtai, Ulan-Ude, Chita, Borobidzhan, Vladivostok ‒ interviewing, and staying with when she could, citizens along the way. She repeated the same journey in 2005, and again in 2015, interviewing the same people each time circumstances permitting.BEARS IN THE STREETS is essentially three travelogues in one as she summarizes the first two visits to each locale briefly, and then the last more fully. The author’s stated intent is to reveal to the reader how the country has changed over the twenty years both from her perspective and that of those she interviewed (and befriended).Early on, Dickey explains the common Russian view that Americans think that the country is a primitive place where bears wander the streets. Thus, the book’s title.Each chapter, dedicated to a specific stop along the way, contains one or two photographs taken on one or more of her visits.To her credit, Lisa’s personality lends itself to her being a creditable representative of her country over there. At least, she didn’t appear to make any enemies but rather many lasting friends.This reviewer visited Russia over ten days in 1984 focusing on Leningrad and Moscow and a couple other cities near the latter. I remember it as an historically interesting, friendly, and occasionally picturesque place, but burdened by a political system that kept it drab and not a destination I’d have wanted to return to.BEARS IN THE STREETS makes me want to go back. In terms of a travel narrative, one can’t ask for more. Lisa fulfilled her mandate. Nice job!
