Аннотация

Since 2002, readers all over the world have been enjoying and learning from Michele A. Berdy's column "The Word's Worth" in The Moscow Times. In this quirky, opinionated, sometimes hilarious yet always thoughtful and authoritative guide, Berdy looks at Russia's changing culture, social scene and everyday life through language and the art of translation. She discusses colloquialisms and youth slang, the language of politics, the workplace, and the often comical struggle of expats to feel at home in a foreign idiom and culture. "The Russian Word's Worth" is essential reading for students and teachers of Russian, translators, Russia watchers, expats, and anyone who wants to understand Russia today.
