Author Notes: Michael Pugh is a lawyer, academic and founder of the Llangwm Literary Festival. He has been a keen observer of life in the former Soviet Union since his first visit to Moscow as a student in 1992. Michael is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and has written about Ukraine for the Sunday Times and the Royal Geographical Society. He spent six years as a partner for Hogan Lovells in Moscow before leaving by horse.
Further Title Description: With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse. Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way. There’s a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.
