After the street to redemption of communism, Russia was at a state of surprise. The immediate and remarkable change remaining many people adrift and uncertain-but also full of a tentative but tenacious trust. Returning over and over to the provincial hinterlands of the rapidly evolving country from 1992 to 2008, Susan Richards struck up some astonishing friendships with people in the center of this historical theatre. Anna, a questing journalist, challenges to express her passionate spirituality within the rules of the new contemporary society. Natasha, a restless heart, has relocated from Siberia in a bid to escape the needs of her upper-class family and her own mysterious demons. Tatiana and Misha, whose business empire has blossomed from the ashes of the Soviet Union, appear, despite their luxury, uneasy in this new world. Richards pieces them increase and change, their fortunes surge and show up, their desires soar and crash.Through their reviews and her own encounters, Susan Richards shows how in Russia, the past and today's cannot be separated. She meets scientists confident of the presence of UFOs and mind-control warfare. She visits a cult based on working the land and a tiny civilization founded on the tactics of traditional Russian Orthodoxy. Gangsters, dreamers, performers, healers, all are thinking in their own ways, "Who are we have now if we're not communist? What does it imply to be Russian?" This exceptional history of modern-day Russia retains a mirror up to forgotten people. Lost and Within Russia is a wonderful and unforgettable family portrait of a contemporary society in transition.
