Survival Russian: I am mentioning this book here because the cover and title are deceptive in that you would think that this is just an ordinary run-on-the-mill simple grammar or phrase book, but it is much more. If you are learning Russian, click on the link below and search inside the book and I am sure you will see what I mean. The author uses the expressions inside stories and narratives. Examples of some of the chapter titles are: "You Look Like a Cucumber and other Compliments", "Fishing with Dried Pasta" and "Why Going Dutch is not Russian".
Again, don't let the title and cover fool you - please click on look inside this book and look at the first few pages and I am sure you will see what a great asset this book is. Published in 2007, there is supposed to be a follow-up book soon and I cannot wait.
If you are planning a trip to Moscow or just want to know more about the city, Culture Shock: Moscow is also a great book.
