(Target audience: Adult learners of Russian, from complete beginners to upper-intermediate level.) An innovative series of graded readers for adult learners of Russian. Each book contains six original stories, with every story presented in four versions (A1-B2 CEFR levels). Stories feature adult-oriented themes exploring Russian culture, history, and daily life. The series uses a unique progressive format with Russian text (including stress marks), English translations, and cultural notes. A1-level stories include phonemic transcription in a three-column layout, while higher levels gradually transition to more independent reading formats. Accompanying audio recordings are available on the publisher's website.
