After following in Venedikt Erofeev's wake from Moscow to Petushki, journalist Grigory Pasko is now travelling with Aleksandr Radishchev from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
Fascinating journeys, both.
---
Erofeev wrote the funny and tragic samizdat satire "Moscow-Petushki" in 1970.
Radishchev was a radical who published his "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow" in 1790 and was exiled to Siberia by Catherine the Great as a result.
