Abstract

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.
