I am not sure if I saw it listed or not, but the book
Twelve Stories of Russia. A Novel, I guess, by A J Perry and published by
Glas (Moscow) was very interesting. American graduates from college,
someone tells him to go to Russia to teach English during the crazy
perestroika years. A autobiographical/novel of an American in Russia in
those days - with no prior knowledge of Russia: people, language or culture.

For Americans in Russia, I'd recommend the Moscow chapters from
Stephanie Elizondo Griest's "Around the Bloc."

Very engaging and accessible for students. We read it in a survey of
Russia course two years ago and it generated some good discussion among
the students.
