А зна́ете ли вы, где настоя́щая ро́дина ру́сской матрёшки? Деревя́нные игру́шки всегда́ бы́ли ча́стью культу́ры Росси́и. В деревня́х де́лали деревя́нных петушко́в и лоша́док, а из мешкови́ны и соло́мы де́лали ку́кол. Игру́шки кра́сили в я́ркие цвета́: кра́сный и си́ний. В кру́пных города́х бы́ло бо́льше тка́невых игру́шек, им ши́ли краси́вые кра́сные пла́тья и украша́ли их ба́нтами и…
Мно́гие Голливу́дские актёры и́ли их пре́дки ро́дом из Росси́и и Украи́ны. Да́же ба́бушка Леона́рдо Ди Каприо ро́дом из Сове́тского сою́за. Мы нашли́ за́писи не́скольких актёров кото́рые говоря́т по-ру́сски. Many Hollywood actors or their ancestors come from Russia and Ukraine. Even Grandma Leonardo DiCaprio is from the Soviet Union. We found records of several actors who…
Друзья́, у меня́ есть отли́чный сове́т для тех, кто хо́чет посмотре́ть интере́сный, весёлый и увлека́тельный ру́сский фильм!

Фильм расска́зывает о том, как ста́рая ру́сская иммигра́нтка, умира́я в Ри́ме, рассказа́ла свое́й…
А вы зна́ете, что в Росси́и есть свой бейсбо́л? И э́та игра́ намно́го ста́рше америка́нского бейсбо́ла и, возмо́жно, да́же англи́йского кри́кета. Не всё сего́дня зна́ют о тако́й игре́, как ру́сская лапта́, но появи́лась она́ ра́ньше, чем сама́ Росси́я. Ру́сская лапта́ – са́мая дре́вняя ру́сская наро́дная игра́. Деревя́нные би́ты и во́йлочные мячи́ учёные нашли́ на раско́пках…
Чёрный кот – си́мвол невезе́ния в ру́сском языке́. Есть приме́та: е́сли чёрный кот перехо́дит вам доро́гу, зна́чит у вас случи́тся что́-то плохо́е. Иногда́ лю́ди да́же боя́тся идти́ да́льше, и поэ́тому возвраща́ются. A black cat is a symbol of bad luck in the Russian language. There is a superstition: if the black cat crosses your path,…
Recently I gave an interview to JD, the author of a blog “Foreign Wife Happy Life”. Here you can hear the interview. JD prepared great questions about learning the Russian language and it was my pleasure to answer them. Many people learn Russian for relationships (and by the way not only men!), I know a…

I receive this question from different people almost every day. Somebody is looking for a perfect textbook, somebody wants to find a magic method, somebody asks “how much time do I need to be fluent in Russian?” or “How can I speak Russian fast?”. And you know what, almost every person who asks such questions…
This was an excellent course. It helped me to learn, and then solidify, many common Russian language constructions used in every day speech, so that I am able to speak and comprehend in real-time more efficiently. It also helped me to learn quite a bit of new vocabulary. I have completed the entire course (twice actually), but I still often play the audio portions for continuing reinforcement (in the car, going to sleep, etc.). It is well worth the cost and I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in improving their Russian language skills.
This good value for money and recommended course is very clearly laid out and easy to follow. The patterns are presented in seperate categories with audio, video and many handy practical examples used in daily life, which you can repeat many times as you learn. You can also put the audio examples on a usb or other media to play in the car (as I do) to refresh your important grammar learning. Nika and the RuLand crew have taken time and care preparing the lessons and courses and this comes across in the delivery, I do recommend this beginner course.
This is a very well designed course for people that are trying to gain a larger understanding in the Russian language. It helped me to further my knowledge of the patterns in the language which I think is very important for english speakers when trying to understand the Russian language. I don’t think you can beat the quality and value you have here for the cost.
This is a very useful course for the daily life, it will help you a lot to talk to your Russian friends! The videos are very good, and the explanations and the examples are easy to understand. Don’t hesitate to purchase it, you will be happy!! 
Very useful course with lots of great content. It is extremely useful for adding new phrase patterns to your vocabulary as well as learning new and existing words in context.
I listen to this course in the car every day. It is a wonderful way to listen to the words in sentence form as you will hear it. Very clear sound and well spoken so I can tune my ear to listening to the Russian language not just hearing it
A wealth of information to listen to, watch and read. I love having audio because you can listen anytime- on the bus, going for a walk, even when doing boring tasks at work (nobody has ever asked me what I’m listening to). A friendly and warm delivery style by the instructors really helps covering topics from the cute and romantic to the very intimate. Which is good because we need to learn those things too, like Nika said even for medical or scientific studies. One thing I thought was great was how it was not just that words and phrases were taught but good explanation about how they fit in a cultural context. Thanks.
Если вы хотите изучать русский язык, RU-Land отличный клуб!
Я начал заниматься три месяца назад с Верой и у меня уже большой прогресс. Она веселая, пунктуальная и организованная учительница. Она знает что мне нужно и делает интересные уроки
Thank you, Ru Land language club team and specifically Nika Minchenko for giving me this wonderful opportunity to study Russian. Nika is very supportive and knowledgeable tutor. She knows how to explain grammar and other aspects of the language in simple words. Keeping in mind how lazy I am to do my homework, Nika’s lessons are extremely productive. I am an attorney and I sometimes deal with Russian speaking clients. After several months of training at Ru Land language club, I started communicating with my Russan-speaking clients in their native language without any broblems. Thank you again for a wonderful job you do.
Learning Russian with Nika has been tremendous fun. I’ve now been studying with RU-Land for 2 years and my Russian speaking and comprehension skills have improved no end!
I had tried a couple of language courses prior to discovering Ru-Land and found that the materials were quite dry or followed a rigid curriculum that failed to take account of my needs.
By contrast, the teaching provided by Ru-land has been really flexible, targeted and engaging. Nika is very patient and has been great at building my confidence by focusing on areas I really used to struggle with (especially Russian cases!).
RU-Land exercises often take the form of inventive games that get you thinking on the spot. I’ve also enjoyed the reading and listening exercises. Unlike other teachers however, Nika also pays a lot of attention to pronunciation and ‘spoken’ grammar; something I used to (wrongly) overlook.
I would highly recommend Ru-Land to anyone keen on studying Russian.
Thank you very much Nika. It was very helpful and ı learned a lot with you Russian speaking pattern course. I admire your teaching skills.

Winter is a time for miracles and magic, that is why we made an e-book with the collection of winter fairy-tales from different countries, adapted for the levels A2-B2.
Here you will meet a Ukrainian folktale “Рукавичка”, a Russian folktale “По-щучьему велению”, a Slovak folk tale edited by Russian author Samuil Marshak “Двенадцать месяцев”, Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Snow Queen” and Amadeus Hoffmann’s fairy-tale “Nutcracker”. Plus, as a bonus, there is a one more fairy-tale, which is not connected to winter, but still is a very interesting: Brothers Grimm “Rumpelstiltschen”.
