Synopsis

Why are nations at odds with each other? Is it religion or culture or something else that sets us apart? We all believe that we are so different that the common ground becomes an elusive concept. But are we really that different? In some cultural ways, yes, we are, but as human beings, we are most definitely not. In this book I focus on the life of Russian people and try to explain in a humorous and educational way why Russians are different from Americans and the rest of the world. I touch on geography, history, language, social behavior and other factors that play an important role in shaping a society. We are all a product of a millions of experiences, which mold us into what we are. If we could understand and acknowledge the components of this mold, maybe the world will finally start understanding each other and accept the fact that people are different. To help you visualize the book I added a variety of illustrations and photos, which will put you in the middle of the action. You will see first-hand what is important to a Russian and why. Now, sit back, relax and start your journey through one of the greatest countries in the world…

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

My name is Oleg Malikov; originally from a now non-existent country called the Soviet Union, now known as the Russian Federation. In 2000 I came to the US for my master's studies and never left. In 2012 I became a proud US citizen. I currently reside in Houston, TX and have been here since late 2002. While in Russia I got a bachelor degree in intercultural studies and translation (English and Spanish) from LUNN (Linguistic University of Nizhni Novgorod), and in the US I obtained an MBA from LSU (Louisiana State University). I am an author of two books - "Surfing Your Way Through Stock Market" and "Clash of Cultures: Russia vs USA or Understanding Russians Inside Out". The first one describes my way of investing and offers a practical guide for an average investor. The book is specific and to the point - I am not a fan of generalities and abstract notions. You will find everything from how to finance your investing activities, to selection of stocks for your portfolio and to managing your portfolio holdings the intelligent way. The second one is about Russia, and how it is similar and different from the West. I have always been fascinated with various cultures and how they compare and contrast with each other. Having lived the early half of my life in Russia and the later half in the US, I decided to write a book about Russia that would help a foreign person understand the culture, traditions and social behavior. We are a product of our environment and, maybe, if we understood the ingredients of the soup we are all boiling in, there would be less misunderstandings in the world we live in. Thanks for reading my bio; I hope you will give my publications a chance.
