Reviews

[Donald · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably the best book out now to learn about Russian & Russians customs. It is loaded with study aids in the form of photos, pronunciation aids, cultural tidbits and mire. As a one who is a speaker of the language and has lived in and with the Russian people I can attest to the fat that this book is an excellent source of knowledge!

Beautiful 360 pages 📃 published in 2019 by DK Books.

Nice explanations too.

[Ietrio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice, but only a few entries and the stock photography is quite an uneven mix.
