"The Finnish writer and journalist Anna-Lena Lauren brightly reflects in her book the situation in the North Caucasus dominated by violent and sophisticated unwritten rules of human coexistence, while the concepts of conscience and dignity have priority over life and death there. Apart from Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, she thrillingly and interestingly describes her stay in five other republics that are parts of the Russian Federation – these are Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, where problems related to human rights violation are the most poignant. The book makes it possible to learn more about the Caucasus and its multifaceted cultures and traditions, and it is of particular use for international affairs journalists."
