plmzk Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Does anyone know where I would be able to get some Russian books? Looking to buy some to read to kids, but don't want to make the trip to Russia ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2bee Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 What subjects/topics/ age ranges are you looking for? You probably don't need to go to Russia, though by the time you're done paying the Shipping fees for importing a decent library, you might wish that you had just gone to Russia. You might try your hand ate translating books like Are You my Mother and using sticky notes/index cards to paste in the translations. Many books are easy because they have such straightforward dialogue to them, though you may need to get creative with sound effects such as splat or yuck.

Anne Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've seen children's books in Russian at our local Barnes & Noble. Have you tried Amazon? Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regentrude Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 amazon.com If you go to foreign language books and select Russian, it comes up with over 240,000 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaichiki Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 There's a Russian bookstore in Brooklyn with a nice-sized children's section. Here's a link: http://www.ruskniga.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaichiki Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 THANK YOU!!!!!!! These books are awesome! and the price is even better! We are religious and finding good Christian books in Russian is a challenge. Are you Russian Orthodox? If so, you might want to consider the publisher of these books and their (natural) bias from their religious affiliation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest obormot Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 http://www.ozon.ru/ You can buy there form US and pay by US card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Here is another option for an online store in US. I bought from them, they shipped right away from St. Louis area and arrived in great shape http://www.adoptedfromrussia.com/index.html -crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 THANK YOU!!!!!!! These books are awesome! and the price is even better! We are religious and finding good Christian books in Russian is a challenge. I forgot this on my other reply. One more option is to get a Children's Bible in Russian from My Father's World. It will take a phone order or at convention. http://www.mfwbooks.com the proceeds go to translation projects http://www.gwftn.org/#projects -crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hope119 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 http://www.ozon.ru/You can buy there form US and pay by US card. Just make sure you buy with "1-time use" credit card number - our cards (two different cards/people) had fraud transactions after buying from ozon.
