Review title: I only read half.
Product review: This book was a BIG disappointment. The best I can say about it is that it is a rich, well-arranged collection of anecdotes, both historical and contemporary. It undoubtedly took a lot of time and effort to put together. Unfortunately, it is nothing more than a collection of anecdotes, and it reinforces many stereotypes (e. g., golddigging _fartsovchiki_ [black marketeers]). It would probably be interesting to anyone who has never been to Russia and doesn't know any Russians personally. I lived in Russia for two years before I married my Russian husband, and I was expecting delicious insight from someone who has had similar experiences.
