The Travel Tales Collection, “The USSR 1” is part of Michael Brein’s "Collections" travel tales series and contains among the best travel stories from Michael’s huge collection of travel tales that he has gathered in interviews with nearly 1,750 world travelers and adventurers during his four decades of travel to more than 125 countries throughout the world.

"Travel Tales Collections" are groups of three or more very interesting similar travel stories of a kind on a variety of very specific travel subjects, themes, or countries, such as close calls, great escapes, pickpocketing, scams, safety and security in travel, Paris, Morocco, Mexico, and so on. Eventually, several hundred "Collections" on all sorts of specific travel subjects, themes, and countries will be available on the Nook.

Future "Collections" of Soviet Union and Russia travel stories will include additional travel stories on both the earlier Soviet Union era as well as the post Cold War Russian Federation.
