Snow, concrete, the KGB: that’s the cliché of the Soviet Union. But its collapse in 1991 sparked a story at once messier and more compelling than any stereotype. Thirty-five years on, Moscow may brim with champagne bars and blacked-out Mercedes – but what became of the other fourteen states...

From Russia with Love was my favorite Bond Film with the dapper Sean Connery playing Agent 007. Thus, it was apt for me to seek this as the title of my book about my travels to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Siberia, where I saw the house of the mystic Rasputin.
