The Russian Way, Second Edition: Aspects of Behavior, Attitudes, and Customs of the Russians Paperback - 2002 - 2nd Edition
by Zita Dabars; Lilia Vokhmina
From the rear cover
Here's an up to the minute, insider's look at how Russians live and work and how they feel about everything from family to religion to entertainment. Explore The Russian Way of doing things, and you'll uncover a fascinating world imbued with kindness, generosity, superstition, and surprises.
Russian character comes to life as you follow favorite pastimes such as communal baths, the circus, mushroom gathering, and watching television--especially soap operas. View life from the perspective of average Russians ("poor man's caviar" and flea markets) and "new" (rich) Russians (international dining and upscale shops). Historic background, evolving changes, and Russian words and phrases are woven into every chapter.
Find out how Russians feel about advertising (suspicious), clothing (conservative), "gifts" and bribes (necessary), dating (not until college), and appropriate behavior (bring flowers to dinner, always check your coat at the theater, and don't compliment a new baby to avoid the "evil eye"). The Russian Way is brimming with practical and lively facts on:
- Home life, meals, and housing Healthcare, education, politics, religion, and professions
- Hotels, dining, shopping, and entertainment Language, gestures, literature, and the Russian soul
- The creative community, including controversial artist Tsereteli
This handy guide will help you understand and appreciate Russian way from Arkhangelsk to Vladivostok.
