Some people travel the world to sample wines, others to experience art or enjoy the climate. STRATFOR founder Dr. George Friedman ventures abroad to observe political fault lines and find where politics and geography intersect. In his 2010 visit to Turkey, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine and Poland, Dr. Friedman found a land stranded between Europe and Russia, where memories run deep and nothing is ever casual. His reflections on the journey are as personal as they are historically informed.
