The enlarged Second Edition of Survival Russian is an intensely practical guide to conversational, colloquial and culture-rich Russian. It uses humor, current events and thematically-driven essays to deepen readers' understanding of Russian language and culture...

One of the greatest works of Russian satire of the 20th century, our brand new translation of the famous satirical sequel to The Twelve Chairs resurrects the con man Ostap Bender, “the smooth operator,” and follows him and his three hapless co-conspirators on a hilarious romp through the Soviet Russia and Central Asia of 1930.

The debut issue of Chtenia features fine fiction by Chekhov, Dovlatov, Grishkovets, Galina, Koval, Sergiyenko and many others, plus poetry by the likes of Kharms, Mayakovsky and Yesenin, and wonderful contemporary black and white photography, all on the theme of "The Hearts of Dogs."

 “Oh, how Russian Literature loves winter... it is a time when wishes come true, when families gather together, when everything in the home is transformed because, in one room, there is an evergreen, full of  shimmering decorations, filling the home with its glorious aroma. ” (From the Editor’s Introduction) 

[This issue is sold out.]

 

 “Russian literature only truly noticed Siberia in the nineteenth century, and primarily as a place of exile... Gradually, however, Russian writers began to recognize a different Siberia: a richly forested Siberia where hunters roamed, a Siberia filled with villages tended by Russian settlers..."

Chtenia is the Russian word for “readings.” And it is the title of a year-old journal to supplement Russian Life magazine. If you love Russian Life, you will love Chtenia, because it picks up where Russian Life leaves off, offering more quality fiction, non-fiction and photography in a convenient and portable paperback book format.

For well over a century, Russian city dwellers have been attracted to dacha life for the autonomy, solitude and peace it has to offer. So it is no accident that so many works of Russian literature take place in dachas – this is where people feel freer, where they open up more quickly.
