Interesting stories in slow Russian | Free Russian language resources

When you are learning a new language, it's very important to listen to authentic materials as soon as possible. When it comes to Russian, it's even more important because you can't simply learn the grammar, you need to surround yourself with the environment that will allow you to grasp Russian grammar patterns subconsciously as Russian natives do when they are kids.
