|summary=Travelling to remote areas of Russia often quite rightly over-looked, Lost Cosmonaut is an entertaining collection of travel stories told through the eyes of a 20-something Scotsman. At times hilarious, at times educational, it is always engaging and does a good job of selling the little visited parts of this country to the masses.

Daniel Kalder is trying to go where no one has gone before, to deepest, darkest Russia, to places with exotic names like Tartarstan, Kalmykia, Mari El and Udmurtia. The problem is, whenever he arrives somewhere, he find he's been beaten to it by an Irishman here, a Scotsman there. Damn westerners. They get everywhere, even places picked specifically on the understanding that no one in their right mind would choose to go there, and therefore Kalder and his companions could be the first.
