Why Russians Lie to Your Face (And Expect You to Know It)

In “Why Russians Lie to Your Face (And Expect You to Know It),” author Elvira Bary explains why “truth” in Russia often depends on who’s in the room. This isn’t just propaganda—it’s a survival skill shaped by hierarchy, fear, and audience-based speech. You’ll learn the everyday system of “multiple truths,” why boss-approved reality matters more than facts, how “truth for outsiders” is manufactured, what the powerful sell to the powerless, and how even close friendships require careful bending of reality. By the end, you’ll know how to decode these lies without getting emotionally pulled into them—and why Russians often assume you already understand the game.
