    I have always been drawn to Russia probably because of the U.S. and Russia’s relationship through the cold war, which lead to a certain mystique surrounding Russia. It’s history is fascinating since Russia developed rather isolated from the rest of the world, but it was exposed to is an interesting mix of European and Asian influences unseen elsewhere in the world. Russian literature has so many masterpieces like Anna Karenina and War and Peace. Russian ballets are second to none; their Olympic gymnasts almost seem unbound by the law of physics. The Russian people seem so passionate and dedicated, yet so unemotional from an American perspective that it makes me curious.…

    Tolstoy’s story, “Master and Man,” was expertly written and I enjoyed it greatly. At first glance, the story seems bland with no true meaning but, with deeper insight and careful consideration, it has underlying meanings. To put it mildly, it’s not simply a story about a selfish man and his ‘worker’; it’s a journey not just for the characters in the story, but for readers as well. This story gives readers an accurate glance into Russian culture and way of life. Countless people have extremely biased and stereotypical views about Russia because of how the country is portrayed in our society.…

    As an American, what I have seen and heard about Russia, I think Russian citizens are strong and very independent. From the news on the other hand, they may be a strong country but they are very homophobic and weirdly set in their ways. "Russian culture has a long and rich cultural history, steeped in literature, ballet, painting and classical music." (Bradford) The country is a collectivist culture which places high value on their homeland and family.…

    Russia can be seen with an abundance of Communist tendencies, especially in the days of the Cold War and Joseph Stalin. Communism is often denoted by authoritarian leaders and cruelty, both of which Russia had during this time period of the USSR. The Cold War was a reaction by the United States to the spread of Communism as based in Russia or the Soviet Union, as it was known in those times. Beginning around 1947 and spanning to the early 1990’s, the Cold War was not so much as a war, but more of a competition of which ideology was better. They had ‘races’ in arms and space, and even had kitchen wars which were debates over which nation had better kitchens to offer their citizenry.…

    Like the majority of the United State’s population, I am an immigrant and a relatively new one; I remember what life was like in Russia before my family moved here. Often I am asked: “How is life different? Where do you prefer?” Though I have plenty of memories, experiences, and opinions of both countries, I’ve never pitted them against each other, making those questions difficult to answer. But now, thinking about it, I can boldly say that life in Russia and the USA varies greatly.…

    Lifestyle Russian lifestyle for centuries, has mostly been farming to earn a living. The main crops that are grown today are similar to those grown in past years, which include, wheat and barley, flax and oilseeds, and fodder crops. (bush, 2010) The production has been low because of old practices of farming that were mismanaged due to the land and resources during the reign of the Soviet Union.

    Culture and the understanding and respect for individual and/or group behaviors and attitudes must be a consideration when approaching HR practices such as motivation, recruitment, employee-employer communications, and performance and reward systems. Organizational cross-cultural competency, or the ability for employees to understand their own culture as it relates to other cultures to successfully reconcile differences, is a key challenge to HR practices. As the world gets smaller and cultural connections intersect and expand, there is real opportunity for HR to influence cultural integration and adaption in the global workforce. Looking at the cultural dimensions of several countries such as Russia, Germany, Japan and Mexico, HR practices…
