Russia, outside of Moscow, suffers from third world problems: inadequate roads, water supply, availability of necessities. The warmth of Russian hospitality softened these hardships. You will struggle and suffer with the Moores and wonder at their perseverance. ______Susan Robertson, EFL instructor at Hillsdale College and advisor of Foreign students. I've never read anything that has given me a better understanding of the frustrations of daily life in Russia.
