" the present book " Etiquette " , released in America and has been translated into Russian, is one of those books on the rules of" good taste "that publishers are available in abundance in the capitalist countries of Europe and America "

" This book is of interest only to a narrow circle of Soviet readers as a kind of reference material that introduces the basic rules of behavior in the" higher " layers of the American bourgeois society "

" The knowledge of these rules , in some cases, it may assist the Soviet man , if he is on duty will have to be among the" higher " layers of bourgeois society "

" The position of the Soviet citizen who is abroad , quite different from that of a citizen of any other country . Soviet people should always remember that he is a citizen of the great socialist state and " ... stands head and shoulders above any foreign high-ranking bureaucrats , vlachaschih on shoulders capitalist yoke of slavery " ( Stalin). therefore his actions must permeate the self-esteem , a sense of pride in their great motherland . Hence it should flow and its special demands on himself "

" In general, the book " Etiquette "may be to some extent used only as a guide "
