This book is horribly out of date and a complete waste of time. It still refers to Russia as the Soviet Union, and the Russia of today is a COMPLETELY different animal than it was in 1991, when this book was published.
There are lots of pretty pictures and cutesy cartoons, but you will not learn Russian using this book. Even at it's cheap price, it's a waste of money. If you don't want to spend much, get the Lonely Planet phrasebook instead.
