Perspective: Exploring the rich history — and strange depths — of the Black Sea
both of which dip a toe in the Black Sea’s waters, but as Mühling points out, the sea has been an object of fascination for foreign writers since the time of Strabo and Herodotus.
Mühling is certainly drawn to the obscure and the surprising in the places he visits. One section on theby Georgia’s billionaire ex-prime minister, for example, verges on magical realism. But he refuses to exoticize local quirks in the way of Herodotus and his ilk. He instead sets out to discover whether a Black Sea regional identity exists, distinct from the nation-states that surround it. This led to what he said was an unexpected focus on little-known ethnic minority groups.
Still, human connection across cultural lines is possible. In Crimea, Mühling tells the story of Vladimir, a Russophone marine biologist, and Alla, his Ukrainian wife, formerly a TV reporter for a Ukrainian-language station, who has faced antipathy both from local Russian-speakers and from friends back home over her decision to stay on the peninsula.
