Features: Russia is a nation that excels at remembering. They remember history, the elite of their nation, honor, motherland, and responsibility, as well as happiness, poetry, and past romance. A nation that remembers well is one with a rich cultural heritage, one with dignity, and one capable of creating the future. A nation that remembers well will have cohesion, upward momentum, and unity, which will also become the driving force for the continuous progress of the Russian people.
This manuscript was completed five years ago, and some additions and revisions were made five years later. Five years and many months are but a fleeting moment in the long river of history, but after all, more than 2,000 days and nights have passed. Today’s Russia may no longer be the image I saw over five years ago. Today’s Russia, today’s Vladivostok, Moscow, and St. Petersburg, today’s Russian countryside—perhaps like Russian girls, it is changing. Through more than 20 essays and travelogues, this book leaves behind the author’s footsteps across East, West Asia, and Eastern Europe in Russia, as well as the author’s joy and reflections, and the impressions of Russia and even the former Soviet Union.
Russia, this transcontinental nation, has replaced the flag with the hammer and sickle and five-pointed star with the tricolor of red, white, and blue. However, the traces of more than 70 years of Soviet history remain clearly visible, and the achievements created by the people continue to shine brilliantly. Among the hundreds of photographs the author took in Russia, nearly 30 have been selected and inserted into the pages of the book. They are a of the wealth of the Russian nation, as well as a of the history of the former Soviet Union. Wealth is created by the people, and history cannot be erased.
