Understanding the Russians

From Nyet to Da: Understanding the Russians, by Yale Richmond (TPB, 1992, $2)

"Dramatic changes in the Soviet Union have increased opportunities for interaction between Russian and Americans. From Nyet to Da, solidly grounded in research and the author's own experience, offers a clear and concise analysis of the forces that have shaped the Russian character and an insightful description of Russian behavior today, especially as it differs from that of Americans."

Note that this book was written in 1992, so any changes since Putin has been in power are not included, nor any possible future changes if protests are successful. Look for this book on the new non-fiction table, avail. 1/11.   (Later: the Russian section)
