The article examines two major Italian writers, Alberto Moravia and Curzio Malaparte, who traveled to the Soviet Union in the 1950s and subsequently published travel reports based on their experiences: "A Month in the USSR" (Moravia, 1958) and "I, in Russia and China" (Malaparte, 1958). The focus here is on those sections of the two travelogues that describe their visits to various Asian Soviet republics—specifically Armenia and Uzbekistan in Moravia’s account—and to several Siberian cities, including Sverdlovsk (now Ekaterinburg), Novosibirsk, and Irkutsk, in Malaparte’s narrative.
