Russians and Americans. About Them and About Us, So Different

This book is about what makes Russians Russians—and Americans Americans. How do we differ from each other in how we perceive the world and ourselves? How do we think and how do we react to what’s happening? And what made us the way we are? The well-known international journalist Mikhail Taratuta spent 12 years in the United States. His program “America with Mikhail Taratuta” revealed this country to us in many ways. In the book, the author shows how the mismatch of historical paths and cultural codes of Russians and Americans determines differences in everyday life, careers, approaches to business, and politics. And most importantly, it answers the question: is interaction between our peoples possible?
