Russian Politics

China’s President faces many problems. Some, like conflict at the Indian border and in the South China Sea he created for himself. Others, like pending disasters at the Three Gorges Dam and China’s oldest nuclear plant, just happened. But the biggest threat to Communist rule is revolutionaries with Internet access through American satellites. Access that lets them spread propaganda, organize free of government surveillance, and launch cyberattacks. Four deniable Russian agents will travel to America to stop that threat.

This time, even Russia’s most capable agents might not be able to save their country from disaster.

Эта книга – об "ошибкоопасных" областях русского языка. Мы каждый день встречаемся с непростыми в употреблении словами – надевая сапоги, кроссовки или кеды, укладывая в чемоданы пары носков, чулок и джинсы, отправляясь в отпуск за границу или за город. Есть случаи, когда норма определена жестко, а есть, когда допустимы "вольности". Эта книга – еще и история некоторых слов и выражений, имен и фамилий. Мы освоим самолеты, пароходы и паровозы, побываем в тридевятом царстве, тридесятом государстве, где нас ждет царь-государь, заглянем даже в шпаргалки и всерьез задумаемся, есть ли хвосты у прохвостов и прихвостней.
