Rail in Russia down to the smallest details

The book explores the main railways that stretch into the former Soviet territory, with the exception of the mysterious BAM railway, treated in a separate book. The amount of details makes the reader wonder how many lives the author has spent travelling along all the routes he describes! A must for planning a trip to Russia. Unfortunately, maps do not live up to the general level of the book. Anyway, buy it!
