Not only is this a topical and interesting look at everyday Russians unfolding over the course of 20 years, it's a great read. The author is an insightful and entertaining storyteller. The stories and characters are compelling and the writing is top-notch.It's full of hilarious and heartbreaking encounters that were solidly relatable on the most human level. It seems that not all Russians are reflections of their leader, just as not all Americans are reflections of ours.I also appreciated that the book is written in such a way that it's easy to pick up, read a story and then return for another later- except that I couldn't stop. It's that compelling.
First and foremost, travel writing of any kind is not easy, and great travel writing, harder yet. All too often, the genre breaks down into an author bitching about the vagaries of the real world experience, or perhaps worse, so coloring their prose with carried bias that the experience just isn't shared well. That said, Lisa Dickey is a great travel writer, and this is a wonderful read.In a time of unprecedented political bluster and saber rattling, this long-term view of real people and lives across Russia is an important vignette for Americans to take in and absorb. Dickey speaks with a clear voice, and the lives of her subjects are ours to know as a result.I'm thrilled to hear that the next 10 year swing is already being planned. That's a thing well worth staying tuned for.
I was in Moscow and St Petersburg in 1995 at the same time as the author. After over a decade in the US Navy during the Cold War and numerous operational and didactic indoctrinations to hate the soviet regime, its military and people, I still found myself drawn to the tenacity and pride of the Russians I met. I didn't see what I had been "told" to see regarding their dislike of America, nor did I ever feel at all threatened by these same people who were helping me in my efforts to successfully adopt a Russian orphan. Their efforts were sincere and heartfelt for the welfare of those caught in the aftermath of uncertainty at that time and doomed to the streets and poverty without the opportunity for another life. Over twenty years later, the comment made by these citizens in the author's journeys "about wanting to just be left alone" resonates at a personal level for me, but understates the tremendous sacrifices they made to survive and ultimately thrive in the metamorphosis. My rationale for being there, my fascination with the culture and heritage, and this precious gift of my child growing into adulthood, and their love and devotion to a new way of life also mirrors the 20 years plus covered in the book, though all of ours were lived here in the US. The authors journey and observations are inspirational, heart warming, and at times amusing, but all the while insightful to self, humility and humanity's real achievement to walk a mile in their shoes, and to really know, and love someone deemed by all others as different from "yourself." Life doesn't come from existing as self, it is found in our ability to co-exist with, understand, embrace, and nurture another's "self."
BEARS IN THE STREETS is Lisa Dickey’s Russian travelogue x 3.In 1995, as a U.S.- born writer wannabe living in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Lisa crossed Russia ‒ St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk, Lake Baikal, Galtai, Ulan-Ude, Chita, Borobidzhan, Vladivostok ‒ interviewing, and staying with when she could, citizens along the way. She repeated the same journey in 2005, and again in 2015, interviewing the same people each time circumstances permitting.BEARS IN THE STREETS is essentially three travelogues in one as she summarizes the first two visits to each locale briefly, and then the last more fully. The author’s stated intent is to reveal to the reader how the country has changed over the twenty years both from her perspective and that of those she interviewed (and befriended).Early on, Dickey explains the common Russian view that Americans think that the country is a primitive place where bears wander the streets. Thus, the book’s title.Each chapter, dedicated to a specific stop along the way, contains one or two photographs taken on one or more of her visits.To her credit, Lisa’s personality lends itself to her being a creditable representative of her country over there. At least, she didn’t appear to make any enemies but rather many lasting friends.This reviewer visited Russia over ten days in 1984 focusing on Leningrad and Moscow and a couple other cities near the latter. I remember it as an historically interesting, friendly, and occasionally picturesque place, but burdened by a political system that kept it drab and not a destination I’d have wanted to return to.BEARS IN THE STREETS makes me want to go back. In terms of a travel narrative, one can’t ask for more. Lisa fulfilled her mandate. Nice job!
The book is written from deep experience, with insight, fairness (in my opinion), and humor. I think it would be great reading for anyone planning a first trip to Russia. I like the way in which the material is organized: Each chapter is devoted to a specific place; within each chapter, the author describes her visits in 1995, 2005, and 2015. She connects the information in each chapter so that a description of each visit follows the previous one organically rather than mechanically. My only question to the author would be how she can stand to wait ten years between visits! My last trip there was around the time of hers, in early September 2015. I hope to go again this coming fall, just two years later.
