Hence, some of the cultural notes of the book are not so relevant if you are looking for pragmatic tips for a trip to Russia, but if you are looking for an advanced textbook you are well past that stage anyway and will not mind it. On the contrary, I found it quite interesting to read about some aspects of Soviet society. When I bought this book I had been learning Russian on my own for 4 years (although not very consistently, I must admit), I had already made my way through some other textbooks and I had reached a level where I could understand most of what I read and heard, but I still had gaps in my understanding of grammar, so I was looking for a way to keep improving. This is the best book I have found to do that. It is very thorough and it covers topics that other manuals do not even mention, but somehow the authors manage to present the information in a way that does not feel overwhelming, they even include a little touch of humor here and there. You need to already have a good command of Russian to tackle this textbook, as the explanations are often given in Russian and not in English. However, if you have already reached an upper-intermediate level and would like to bring your Russian to the next level, this is the resource you are looking for. Review: 10 minutes in, and I have been humbled (in a very good way) - So you think you speak Russian? Really well, understanding just about all contexts and sitiuations? Well so did I, until I opened this book for the first time today. I've found there's an enormous amount of colloquial vocabulary, as well as complex grammatical situtaions that I did not know, but this book explains and introduces in a very clear, yet challenging way. This isn't my first or last foreign language, but I am glad I bought this book to further improve (and hopefully someday in the far away future, perfect) my Russian. I've also found that I may need to find an equivalent book in the other languages I thought I was "fluent" in. So if you're in that same situation with Russian, I highly recommend you purchase this book. If you wouldn't consider yourself advanced in Russian yet (there are very few English explanations besides the odd English translation of new vocabulary), I would suggest starting with a book geared to lower levels. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0893571784 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,390,029 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,996 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) #13,294 in Language Study & Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (8) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 0.75 x 11.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 9780893571788 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0893571788 | | Item Weight | 1.52 pounds | | Language | English, Russian | | Print length | 262 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 1987 | | Publisher | Slavica Pub | ## Images ![Advanced Russian (English and Russian Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Ch6vGUcAL.jpg) ![Advanced Russian (English and Russian Edition) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41L7jpw2vkL.jpg) ![Advanced Russian (English and Russian Edition) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41XZptnvzlL.jpg) ![Advanced Russian (English and Russian Edition) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913wf7LrZ5L.jpg) ![Advanced Russian (English and Russian Edition) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cOEuCTRFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful and truly advanced *by A***N on September 21, 2024* This textbook was written in the 1980s, while the Soviet Union still existed.

I have not yet finished, so I haven't started reading and studying from this book yet. But the book looks comprehensive, and a good complement and continuation of my basic Russian studies. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/65649051-advanced-russian-english-and-russian-edition](https://www.desertcart.is/products/65649051-advanced-russian-english-and-russian-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
