Volume 2 of the 1111 Russian Words series. Master the next 1,111 most frequent Russian words through 85 warm, connected short stories set in Tikhogorsk — a small town you follow through one full year, from the first day of September to the last days of summer. New vocabulary appears in context and returns through built-in spaced repetition, with facing-page Russian–English translation and a free audio companion for every story.
One town, one year. Follow the people of Tikhogorsk from September to summer — new faces, small mysteries, quiet triumphs — in stories that make you want to read on.
Picks up exactly where Volume 1 left off: the second 1,111 most frequent Russian words, introduced naturally in context so intermediate learners keep building on solid ground.
Words reappear across the stories at scientifically spaced intervals, so every encounter is genuine recall, not a re-read. No app required — the repetition is woven into the book.
Russian on the left, English on the right, with numbered paragraphs for easy matching and stress marked on every Russian word. Read naturally without reaching for a dictionary.
