The Russian publication is Цейхгауз, or more recently Cтарый Цейхгауз – "Arsenal" or "Old Arsenal" – usually known in the West by the German transliteration "Zeughaus". I like it quite a bit. It is a quarterly publication (or approximately quarterly) very similar to the French "Tradition", but focussed more on Russian (and French) themes. There have been 33 issues plus one Special Issue "hors séries", the first dating from 1991. Here is a sample of the latest issue, No. 33 (1/2010):

This one advetises some more back issues :
link Remember, no endorsement of Russian online stores is intended. Customer service is unlikely to be anything like in the West. English may be not an option for communication. And there is some chance of fraud, perhaps higher than for on-line sales in the USA or UK. Chuey |

Big Al, Well, from my own experience – you are right, of course. I have never had a problem with a Russian business (or policeman, or customs inspector, or border guard, or tax official, or anyone at all) that I could not work out really easily. If anythiing, it is the opposite – when a foreigner is involved there often seeems to a real effort to be nice and helpful and welcoming. But, I have enough of the language, I work in the country, I have friends and relatives who are Russians, etc. I just don't want any of our colleagues here to have a bad experience …. and then think I should have "warned" them. The journal Цейхгауз is really good – so also I would not want to scare anyone away from it. Chuey |
