Sommario/riassunto: This literary, cultural history examines Russian tourism via the prism of cosmopolitanism, pitted against provinciality and nationalist anxiety about the allure of Western Europe. The study's thematic axis sets daunting cultural riches of the West against the compensatory Russian pleasure of playing the "European" colonizer on vacation in "Asia.".
