註釋"Excellent & true perceptions of a foreigner about the difficulty of making the transition from a totalitarian to a democratic society," says Mikhail Rostarchuk, Editor-in-Chief of Russia Business World Weekly, about this first work of nonfiction by Carole Dorsch Schweitzer, former Moscow correspondent for the Calumet Press. In early summer of 1992, Schweitzer, burned out from a demanding career in retailing, opted to accompany her husband Glenn on an exciting professional mission in postmodernist Russia. An American scientist selected by the U.S. Department of State to establish the International Science & Technology Center, Glenn promised a "once-in-a-lifetime adventure," a prediction that represented merely the tip of the cultural iceberg. Without a job, friends, family, or knowledge of the native language to buffer the blows, Carole discovered the true meaning of culture shock. RUSSIAN LESSONS is the story of how she--& the Russians themselves--"got a life" in an environment spinning out of control.
