description: In the year 2000 English Teacher X moved to the bankrupt frozen desolate country of Russia seeking a quiet life. Instead he found himself the center of attention of the gorgeous sexy amoral and abundant female population of the city of Vodkaberg as one of the few foreign residents there. At first bewildered and uncomfortable with the attention he soon grew to love it and found himself settling in for a long stay of girl-chasing and vodka-drinking and staying much much longer than he planned.But as the years pass Russia begins to change and develop into a fast-growing modern oil superpower one that is increasingly nationalistic and hostile to foreign residents. The lives of the English teachers however remain mired in a perpetual adolescence of self-gratification and English Teacher X's conflicted emotions about his life begin to come burbling out at strange time and in bizarre ways ... VODKABERG: NINE YEARS IN RUSSIA is a portrait of troubled people in a troubled country during a time of rapid change and another examination of the darker side of English teaching and life abroad.
