the russian mindset explored

americans, so often victim of their mirror-imaging when trying to figure out other peoples and their decision making, seem to have a problem to adequately reckon the 'otherness of others'. the russian mindset has been - mostly because of the cold war emerging after yalta and potsdam, but even prior to it, and thereafter still - been more baffling then clear to americans of all social and political strata. what could be made up by living in russia for a few years, or perhaps reading the collected works of solshenyzin and co. can be, with a certain focus on the topic at hand, made up by reading this book the scientific rigidity of which is belied by the flowing and even gripping reading it makes for. i have not many a book so compelling in dealing with a topic that may well be considered to be a bit dry otherwise.
