    Recommend Me a Book on Russia

    I'm looking for something that gives insight into the thoughts and minds of the Russian people. What do they value? What do they hate? What's the best way to pick up Russian women? How do they prefer to express themselves?

    Any suggestions before I pick up something by a ex-CIA republican from Texas, whom I'm sure will have the next most accurate picture.

        I'd rather have something that included stories of actual Russian peoples.

          Journey Into the Whirlwind

          "By the late 1930s, Eugenia Semyonovna Ginzburg had been a loyal and very active member of the Communist Party for many years. Yet like millions of others who suffered during Stalin's reign of terror, she was arrested—on trumped-up charges of being a Trotskyist terrorist and counter-revolutionary—and sentenced to prison. With an amazing eye for detail, profound strength, and an indefatigable spirit, Ginzburg recounts the years, days, and minutes she endured in prisons and labor camps, including two years of solitary confinement. A classic account of survival, Journey into the Whirlwind is considered one of the most important documents of Stalin's regime."

              Some good suggestions, but is there anything more recent?
