Russia is a hot topic these days. Did they or didn't interfere in our elections in 2016? I won't answer that in my book, but, what I will do is give the reader the tools, even the skills, to make that decision for themselves. I have been living and working in Russia since 1994. This book is like a crash course on Russia and what makes Russia do what Russia does. The story does not unfold in a strict flow of time--it is my life and my thoughts and they appear here as they were needed to help me to better understand my "Russian journey," to answer the questions--what is Russia and why am I here?After graduating from high school in 1985, I learned Russian at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California and became a Russian linguist. In 1990. as a 22-year old student at Rutgers University, I was rambunctious and determined to change the world. Instead, I ended up in Leningrad--the Northern Capital of the Soviet Union. It was love at first site. Shortly after the failed coup in Moscow in August 1991, I returned and began my "life" in a Soviet-Russian context. I left again for graduate school at The School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. With a Master's in my hands, I was filled with the best intentions returning to help the struggling country survive the very difficult period of transition. Grants from the World Bank, Echoing Green and other funds fueled my vision and sure, my "two-cents" might have helped a bit; often it seems, though, that Russia was more helpful in my own survival. Having learned to think, feel, live and express myself in a post-Soviet world that was at times harsh and unforgiving, my 29 years in Russia have never been ones void of adventure.Despite having built major companies and leading brands in the post-Soviet space, I never set out to make lots of money like so many before and after me. My journey has been a love affair with a city that lured me to it since I was as young as ten. Those whispers of history called and called. Today, I am 53 years old and each day surviving Russia has been as unique as that first overcast evening at the Finnish border on June 15, 1990. There always seems to be a backdrop for everything in the country that just somehow makes you stop, take notice and say--Whoa, cool. I have survived three divorces, the death of both parents, grandmothers, the death of a brother and even the loss of a prematurely born child. I had a café called "The Brooklyn Bridge" practically stolen from me by the mafia and my own employees; and yet, here I am still trying to make the city a bit better, a bit more livable. My story is not a political one, however, but one about normal Russians who have crossed my path over the past 29 years. This story also does not delve into my professional accomplishments of the past 15 years (since 2005) despite the "amazing" level some of them have risen to. One thing that was of particular significance for me professionally, however, was the creation of Russia House in Davos during the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting (2016-2018). Russia was officially avoiding Davos and I kept the country present on this world stage by launching "my" version of Russia. "White Nights and Dark Days" has helped me answer the question so many Americans have asked since I first set out for Russia in 1994--"what the hell are you doing in Russia?" I have asked myself this same question countless times --it seems that I might have actually stumbled an answer. If you like to explore other cultures then this book is for you. If you want to learn how to succeed professionally in a foreign culture, give this a read. If you want to take a peak into a journey through a place and a time that few have written about, then "White Nights and Dark Days: A Conversation with St. Petersburg, Russia" is for you.This is a book about survival, about never giving up. It is a book about love.
