Writer and journalist Andrei Ostalsky headed the international department of the Izvestia newspaper in the post-Soviet period, but has lived in England for over thirty years. He worked for the BBC. He is the author of popular science books on economic topics: A Brief History of Money and Oil: The Treasure and the Beast (both were shortlisted for the Enlightener Prize), The Savior of Capitalism. John Maynard Keynes and His Cross, as well as regional studies books: England. Her Majesty's Foreigner and A Foreigner in Madeira.

This book is the first English-Russian dictionary that reveals unexpected nuances of English word usage. In it you will find: strange words, amazing idioms, colloquialisms and new jargon, idioms with proper names, enemies of the translator, interjections, addresses, as well as Americanisms and "Britishisms", a phrasebook of English politeness (hypocrisy), stunning names of British streets and alleys and Russian proverbs and sayings in the English manner.

"This book is intended, of course, not only for snobs, but also for all compatriots who have advanced sufficiently in studying English, but have not had the opportunity to deeply immerse themselves in the English-speaking environment. For people who would like to learn as much as possible about how "living" Englishmen speak to each other, in what language books and newspaper articles are written for them." Andrey Ostalsky
