Indeed. I found myself eager to get a copy and see how I really behaved. I suspect I'd learn rather a lot about Russian culture by seeing how we stand out via the descriptions in the book.

I started looking for the same thing myself, so far I have only found an unavailable Russian language version on Amazon.

Would absolutely love an English translation if anyone finds one.

I would love to read the inverse of this book: explaining Russian minutia to Americans like myself. But I agree, if this exists in English translation it might be worth reading for this purpose just by contrast.
