Every day we hear a lot about Russia, about Russian spies, Russia's interference in the US presidential election, Russian politics in Syria, and the Russian propaganda machine on Facebook…. The US and the EU expelled hundreds of  Russian diplomats in recent years.  In return, Russia ordered the US Embassy staff in Moscow to reduce by 755 people and hundreds of diplomats serving in Russia are being sent home every day and ...... nobody really cares about them. The situation is out of control... We are running out of diplomats, aren't we?  I am sure that the Russians have the same problem… Here I decided to help the way I can. As a former diplomat in Russia, I decided to write a Survival manual for diplomats appointed to work in Russia.
