Abstract

In this paper the author discusses L.V. Nikulin's travelogue The Seven Seas, published in 1936 and describing his journey through Europe in 1933. In the article Nikulin's manner of writing is analysed, the use of digressions, of actual and fictitious meetings with several characters in different countries, the use of newspapers and periodicals. Ultimately Nikulin's goal is to demonstrate the decay and rise of fascism in the European countries, set against the superiority of the young Soviet Union.
