'Podmoskovnye Vechera' / Подмосковные вечера
ПОДМОСКОВНЫЕ ВЕЧЕРА
"Moscow Nights" Music - V. Solovjov-Sedoj, lyrics - M. Matusovskij
Not even a whisper is to be heard in the garden,
Everything has calmed down until dawn.
If you only knew how dear they are to me,
The evenings near Moscow!
The river is moving and (sometimes) not,
All made of the moons silver.
A song sounds and is not to be heard
In those quiet evenings.
Why do you, darling, look at me from the side,
Bending your head so low?
It is not easy to tell
All the things that are in my heart.
And dawn is getting more and more visible.
So, please, be so kind:
You, also, dont forget
These summer evenings near Moscow
Не слышны в саду даже шорохи,
Все здесь замерло до утра,
Если б знали вы, как мне дороги
Подмосковные вечера.
Речка движется и не движется,
Вся из лунного серебра,
Песня слышится и не слышится
В эти тихие вечера.
А рассвет уже все заметнее,
Так, пожалуйста, будь добра,
Не забудь и ты эти летние
Подмосковные вечера.
Не слышны в саду даже шорохи,
Все здесь замерло до утра,
Если б знали вы, как мне дороги
Подмосковные вечера.

Russian adjectives
Adjectives - Прилагательные
Adjectives are used to describe people and objects. All the adjectives listed below are the masculine, singular nominative case. However in the Russian language the ends of adjectives change to agree in gender, and in case, with the noun it describes. Adjectives can also appear in short form, or their comparative form. You should refer to the grammar section of this site for details on how to convert or decline each adjective
Russian Adjectives are used just like in English to describe qualities to nouns, but they differ than English when it comes to their agreement with nouns.

In Russian only adjectives may modify nouns, which means that nouns and verbs must be converted to adjectives before they can modify nouns (all cases are shown here, please work with Nominative Case only)

fantastic concert
I have just been to the concert of these fantastic musicians - 'Loiko'. They play and sing like gods. Was able to stay there only for an hour, had to leave early, had lots to do, but I am still enormously happy I managed to 'save' at least 1 hour for this =)

Northern Girl = Девочка с Севера
the name of the group is the same, but the singers are different. I do not know where the first group of boys are now - just did not keep the track of them.
So, the new 'Premier Ministr' is singing in Russian
Here is the text:
«Девочка с севера»
Она летит сегодня ровно в два
Обычным рейсом Воркута-Москва,
В сумке несколько кассет
Да пачка сигарет.
Пусты карманы, денег ни гроша,
Но бьется сердце и поёт душа,
Околдована мечтой
Сделать всё, чтоб стать звездой,
И ни больше, ни меньше.
Девочка с севера, девочка ниоткуда,
Спрячь скорей ото всех мысли свои.
Девочка с севера,
Вся в ожидании чуда и любви.
Её не ждут ни мама, ни отец,
Она взяла билет в один конец,
И остались позади серые дожди.
В потертых джинсах, в розовых очках,
Она лишь верит - всё в её руках,
И не знает, что она в этом городе одна,
И миллионы таких же...
Девочка с севера, девочка ниоткуда,
Спрячь скорей ото всех мысли свои.
Девочка с севера,
Вся в ожидании чуда и любви.
Девочка с севера, девочка ниоткуда,
Спрячь скорей ото всех мысли свои.
Девочка с севера,
Вся в ожидании чуда и любви.
Снова кажется ей - много светлых дней впереди,
Жизнь как вечное лето, и волшебный принц
Ждет её где-то, но ты
Девочка с севера, девочка ниоткуда,
Спрячь скорей ото всех мысли свои.
Девочка с севера,
Вся в ожидании чуда и любви.
Девочка с севера, девочка ниоткуда,
Спрячь скорей ото всех мысли свои.
Девочка с севера,
Вся в ожидании чуда и любви, и любви.

another song for Monica
'Premier Ministr' (Premier Minister) is a Russian band. They sing in Russian and in English.
Here is their song 'Northern Girl' (the Girl from the North of Russia).
It is the English version. I will post the Russian version too.
Here is the text:
In all my wanderings around the world
I've seen so many kinds of pretty girls
All of them like precious stones
Sparkling on their own
I found them fiery, tender, bright and sweet
In Rome and Paris, Lisbon and Madrid
But one girl remains for me
Still a real mystery
I've been thinkin' about you
Northern girl Lady Ice
How can I melt you baby
Northern girl never cries
Tough like a pearl
Northern girl frosty eyes
I wanna melt you baby
Northern girl
We drink the sunset like ruby wine
But still you keep your head and hold the line
Even when you look aside
I admire your pride
We stand together closely skin to skin
You look forbidding as the Snow Queen
But I hear your secret call
'Cause your fortress has no walls
I'm still thinkin' about you
And when you ask me tonight
Why I search for love so so far
I will hold you and whisper
You're my northern star guiding star baby

russian news
новости недели на упрощенном русском языке
Russian Webcasts are posted to the web twice monthly and deliver a survey of the previous two weeks' news in simplified standard Russian Listeners of Voice of America's "Special English" broadcasts will recognize the slightly slower rate of speech and textual redundancy which characterize these webcasts.
Why ? Back in Soviet times, the news was easy to understand. The propaganda-laden messages were predictable and the diction clear and slow. Post-communist newscasts feature telegraphic speech and slurry diction. Our webcasts serve as a stepping stone between the teacher talk of the classroom and the "real" Russian of the media.
Authentic news. The news itself is taken from a number of Russian sites, including Lenta.Ru, Vesti.Ru, Ytro.ru and other authentic sites. The editorial "slant" is left unchanged and should not be taken to represent the views of the NCLRC.
The accompanying exercises include pre-listening background information, vocabulary support, and post-listening activities. The exercises are written in the multiple-choice or fill-in formats. Listeners can check their answers with a mouse click.
rusian cases exercises
The list of grammar exercises below are designed to test your knowledge of Russian grammar. Some parts can be easy; others are quite challenging. If you prefer, review the grammar information on the various grammar pages.

Visit our "Russify Your Computer" site for information on how to install your Cyrillic keyboard.

russian numbers
It's always useful to be able to count in a foreign language. These pages will give you a brief introduction to counting in Russian. Here are the numbers from one to ten:
babla russian
bab.la – это языковой проект Андреаса Шретера, Томаса Шретера и Патрика Юкера. Эта идея крутилась в голове Андреаса в течение долгого времени. За время учебы в школе, Андреасу довелось жить в разных странах – Канаде, Франции, Швеции и США. Он заметил, что иногда знание прямого перевода того или иного слова не помогает в изучении языка или в общении. Вам действительно нужно "жить" языком, чтобы найти нужное слово. Томас и Андреас собирали словари с детства. Таким образом, создание языкового портала было совсем неслучайным событием. Этот портал должен был стать тем местом, где люди, интересующиеся языками, смогут общаться, обмениваться своими языковыми знаниями и изучать языки вместе. Кто может быть лучшим учителем, чем носитель языка?
