From Nyet to Da by Yale Richmond
In the wake of the Cold War and perestroika, the New Russia is finding its place in the global 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 framework of contemporary events, such as the March 2008 elections and the Georgian conflict. With a new preface, and updates and revisions throughout, From Nyet to Da enlightens readers about virtually every aspect of Russian life, covering social and interpersonal skills as well as the underlying cultural assumptions and values of the Russian people.
Yale Richmond, a former U.S. Foreign Service Officer, worked on U.S. Soviet exchanges for more that 20 years, including a tour of duty as Counsellor for Press and Culture and the American Embassy in Moscow. Richmond writes in a style that is objective, clear and balanced. He interweaves the nuts and bolts of Russian cultural behaviour with historical reference and modern-day anecdotes in such a way that makes learning about these fascinating and passionate people an enjoyable experience
