This book is addressed to everyone who learns Russian. But it does not consist of rules, exercises and educational texts. There are other great tutorials for this.

This book has a completely different task. It will help you learn not only to speak, but also to think in Russian. The book you are holding in your hands is composed of aphorisms and reflections of great thinkers, writers, poets, philosophers and public figures of various eras. Their thoughts are about those issues that do not cease to concern humanity.

You can agree or disagree with what you read in this book. You may feel that some thoughts are out of date. But you should definitely think and justify why you think so.

You will also learn and feel how wonderful the words of love, compassion, wisdom and kindness sound in Russian.
