Het nieuwe boek Sovjetistan bevat reportages van bezoeken die Erika Fatland bracht aan de een vijftal landen in Centraal-Azië die zelfstandig zijn geworden na het uiteenvallen van de Sovjet-Unie. Turkmenistan, Kazachstan, Tadzjikistan, Kirgistand (Kirgizië) en Oezbekistan zijn dus jonge landen waaraan vrij weinig aandacht wordt besteed in de westerse media. Opvallend is dat in de meeste landen dictators aan de macht zijn gekomen die vaak al in Sovjettijd carrière maakten…lees verder >
Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan became free of the Soviet Union in 1991. But though they are new to modern statehood, this is a region rich in ancient history, culture, and landscapes unlike anywhere else in the world. Traveling alone, Erika Fatland is a true adventurer in every sense. In Sovietistan, she takes the reader on a compassionate and insightful journey to explore how their Soviet heritage has influenced these countries, with governments experimenting with both democracy and dictatorships. In Kyrgyzstani villages, she meets victims of the tradition of bride snatching; she visits the huge and desolate nuclear testing ground "Polygon" in Kazakhstan; she meets shrimp gatherers on the banks of the dried out Aral Sea; she travels incognito through Turkmenistan, as it is closed to journalists, and she meets German Mennonites that found paradise on the Kyrgyzstani plains 200 years ago. We learn how ancient customs clash with gas production and witness the underlying conflicts in new countries building their futures in nationalist colors. Once the frontier of the Soviet Union, life follows another pace of time. Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the brutalist Soviet architecture, Sovietistan is a rare and unforgettable travelogue.
