Hiya, friends! This time in slow Russian we're discussing the beauty and the horror of diminutives. It's just one step from love to hate. Or rather, one little step! And in the big bonus, we talk about "dear-sies," translated American literature, echidnas and hyenas, "podukhi" and "krugi", and also "frogsies." Armed with little wrenches and little bits of cash Sveta curses up a storm and explains the cultural phenomenon of "little nails" (nail art). Nikita gets into an argument about radiators and batteries. And presiding over all of it sits a cat.

Hi, friends! Parliamentary elections have just taken place in Russia. Some people are upset about the results, some are happy, but almost no one is surprised. In this episode, we'll explain in slow Russian how elections work in modern Russia. And in a big bonus for paid subscribers at the Progressive Learner tier and above, we sing a song about elections, search for the symbolic meaning of the phrase "ballot box," Nikita recalls how he lost the vote for Russia's national anthem, Sveta recalls losing the vote on her hometown's urban development, we discuss various mascot elections with unpredictable results, and as usual we show failed takes and bloopers.

What it is
Two native hosts who left Russia in 2022 discuss language, culture and emigration in natural, unscripted Russian — closer to real conversation than any graded podcast. Free to listen; the membership adds interactive transcripts and a vocabulary helper that translates as you listen. The unscripted pace makes it B1+ material, and the emigration angle means politics surfaces regularly.
Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Russian podcasts →
