Is devoted to the American sociologist and author Josiah Flynt who visited Russia in 1896-1897 and described his impressions of the country, especially of St.Petersburg, in his books “Tramping with Tramps” and “My Life.” The author also suggests certain reasons that may explain the relatively small popularity of Josiah Flynt’s books in the USA and abroad.
