This is a compact cultural intelligence guide for Russian-speaking Minnesota. It preserves the full brief as a reference, then turns the most important material into short decisions, practical artifacts, and leadership moves. Learn with humility: the page can prepare you, but the person in front of you is not a page.
The brief is a starting point. The person in front of you is the authority.
