<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Don't just see the sights--get to know the people.</i></b> <p/> Discovering the Russian soul is like opening a matryoshka, a Russian doll, revealing the many layers. The Russian orthodox religion is unique; Russian history is tragic; and the people are unpredictable. Russia s military and political power, as well as the rich contribution of its art and culture, is the result of an inner dynamic not always understood by outsiders. <p/><i>Culture Smart! Russia</i> sets out to help you to become a more perceptive traveler, and to make your trip more personally fulfilling. It explores the connections between Russia s turbulent past and its paradoxical present; it describes present-day values and attitudes, and offers practical advice on what to expect and how to behave in different social circumstances. <p/><b>Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"...as useful as they are entertaining."--<i>Easy Jet Magazine</i></p><br><br><p>"...full of fascinating, as well as common sense, tips to help you avoid embarrassing faux pas." --<i>Observer</i></p><br><br><p>"...the perfect introduction to the weird, wonderful and downright odd quirks and customs of various countries." --<i>Global Travel</i></p><br><br><p>"<i>Culture Smart!</i> has come to the rescue of hapless travellers."--<i>Sunday Times Travel</i></p><br><br>"...offer glimpses into the psyche of a faraway world."--<i>New York Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Grace Cuddihy</strong> is a translator and editor who has lived in Moscow, Ukraine, and in Russia s Mari-El Republic.
