I had English grammar book and started to teach myself. I read 'Catcher in Rye,' in Russian. I was amazed at freedom in 'Catcher in Rye!' Freedom to have those perceptions of life!
From Roustam Tariko
My biggest entertainment in Moscow was to go to the subway and watch people. When American students visited, I watched them; I learned English from them.
I started like many young Russian people in the beginning of perestroika when it seemed that everything was possible.
I had dreams about working for a big foreign company.
Russians really needed a product that would be not as strong as vodka and not as feminine as cheap sparkling wine, so Martini was a good solution.
Lots of businesses built in the early 1990s were not very transparent, not only by Russians, but also by foreigners.
