Michele A. Berdy
The Russian Word's Worth
A humorous and informative guide to the Russian language, culture and
translation.

Due to its thematic structure and 50-pages sublect index this is practically
a modern dictionary of colloquial and phraseological Russian.
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. A quirky,
opinionated, sometimes hilarious and yet always thoughtful and authoritative
guide, Berdy looks at Russia's changing culture, politics, and daily life
through language and the art of translation. She explores the language of
popular and youth culture, politics, the workplace, culture high and low,
and the comical struggle of expats trying to feel at home in a foreign
language and culture.
The Russian Word's Worth is essential reading for students and teachers of
Russian, translators, Russia-watchers, foreigners in Moscow, and anyone who
wants to understand Russia today.
"For those of us in the States dealing with contemporary Russian Michele
Berdy's columns are so good, they've become addictive, providing in-depth
insight into what's new, what's different, and what's stayed the same in
today's language. Her insider knowledge of how Russians actually speak is
second to no one's.  If I can't be on the streets of Moscow or Petersburg
myself, at least I have Michele Berdy to be my eyes and ears." -- Marian
Schwartz

"Michele has a truly unique gift for articulating the difficulties that
Russians and English-speakers encounter while trying to understand each
other's worlds.  Her work is as entertaining as it is profound, and it will
prove equally useful to beginning students and to advanced professionals." -
Robert Chandler
