Now in a newly revised and updated edition, Yale Richmond's From Nyet to Da addresses the needs of the political, business, and scholarly communities to understand and cope with Russian behavior, tradition and customs. Concise, timely and readable, From Nyet to Da is written both for people who engaged in transactions and interactions with Russians, whether inside or outside Russia, and whether business executives, professionals, educators, or students -- and anyone who may simply be seeking a way to make better sense out of the political and economic turmoil of today's Russia.
