Russia


by: Simon Richmond, Marc Bennetts, Greg Bloom, Marc Di Duca, Mark Elliott, Michael Kohn, Leonid Ragozin, Robert Reid, Mara Vorhees
So you have already seen the present (Moscow) and former (St. Petersburg) capital, and now you would like to see the "real Russia", or you have an airplane conference to attend in Kazan, or you have adopted a child from Murmansk, or you are meeting a prospective bride from Magadan (don't laugh--whenever I answer questions from people who are traveling to regions outside of Moscow/St. Petersburg, 80% are going for adoption or marriage!). There are almost no current guidebooks to regions such as Perm, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Volgograd, Crimea, Minsk, and the Far East.

Russian Phrasebook


by: Chris Dite
Numbers, grammar, polite phrases, telling time, and the small dictionary are fine.

At Christmas dinner, the phrases caused four women from Moscow or St. Petersburg to dissolve into tears as they laughed while reading selections from the book to each other. Odd word choices combined with an eccentric selection of phrases were the problem. Mind you, the Russian was fine, but starting with "Let's have a drink!" and ending the page with "I'm going to be sick." and "I'm hungover." was perhaps too much on the topic.
