Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand contemporary Russia, from business executives and government officials to students, educators and tourists.
In the wake of the Cold War and perestroika, the New Russia is finding its place in the world. No longer a superpower, but still a nation with great influence, Russia remains an enigmatic and mysterious land. Like earlier editions, the new fourth edition of From Nyet to Da illuminates the dynamics of traditional Russian culture in the context of contemporary events. With a new preface, a discussion of the political climate in the light of the March 2008 elections and updates and revisions throughout, From Nyet to Da enlightens the reader about virtually every aspect of Russian life. Dale Richmond weaves Russian cultural behaviour with historical reference and modern-day anecdotes to make learning about these fascinating people a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
