Our Book of the Month is Russia Starts Here: Real Lives in the Ruins of Empire by Howard Amos.

Russia Starts Here offers a snapshot of today’s Russia through the Pskov Region. In this overlooked borderland, Howard uncovers compelling stories and uncomfortable truths from politicians to border guards, artists to pensioners, from Pushkin’s ancestral estate to abandoned villages and an orphanage.
