Rating:  Summary: The book puts an awkward foot forward Review: Although this book discusses many important aspects of Russian culture, I felt that it focused a bit too much on bussines. Many of us, like myself, would be visiting Russia not for bussines, rather as tourists. However, some of her remarks did offer some excelent advice about greeting people, eating, and Russian manners. Most topics though seemed a bit too glazed over. I wished that the author would have further discussed many points in her book. Overall, it's a good book to start with. Read it and you will find a taste of what Russian manners are like. Although I would strongly recomend doing further research. Try to find a book that is more current. This book was first published in 1995, many aspects of Russian culture have changed since then.
Rating:  Summary: Good information Review: My wife and I read this book and wish we had found it before our two trips to Russia. The book is a quick (75 pages) and easy read; full of useful information without any fluff.The only odd thing was advertizing, but it is easy to ignore.
