Product Description

Introductory college course on DVD-ROM for Microsoft Windows (R) and Mac OS (R). Thirty-eight thematic series of photographic-quality images, annotated for a learner who knows little or nothing about Russian history and culture. The images are linked to brief biographies of Russian rulers, artists, and architects; explanations of historical and cultural background; a bibliography of recommended reading; and an alphabetical index of buildings, monuments, and paintings presented in the course. Almost 1,000 photographs taken in Russia are included. All texts are in English, with Russian equivalents provided for the names of monuments and buildings, titles of paintings, and names of the artists and architects. Also available (at some savings) as part of the boxed set of six DVDs called Modern Russian Culture (search Amazon for it).
