Partying until sunrise, baptism under ice, dead bodies on the street, treachery in business dealings - everyday life for an expatriate working in Russia.
Caviar, Vodka and Tears recounts the joys and frustrations of life and work in Russia over the period 2008 to 2022, through the eyes of the fictitious expatriate Keller family. The Kellers establish many deep friendships with ordinary Russians, and have many extraordinary adventures.
Keller's business ventures meet initial success but become harder as relations with the West worsen, and end in treachery and apparent disaster. However, when the conflict in Ukraine erupts in 2022, his failure is revealed as a godsend, and he is forced to reassess his past role in developing Russia's energy industry.
The author worked in Moscow for many years, living life to the full and gaining a deep understanding of Russian culture. At top-level business meetings, he saw first-hand how Putin's changing view of the West influenced the decisions of Russia's elite. He wrote this book to record the many good, as well as the bad, aspects of the country and its people, with a hope that better understanding will one day lead to better relations.
This book is essential and entertaining reading for anyone trying to understand contemporary Russia.
