Review title: AWFUL - don't waste your money!
Product review: Troika is a complete disaster. NOWHERE will you find complete declensions of nouns, ie, all 6 cases. Table at book's back can fool you, because it cannot display exceptions, eg pisatel and ychitel are not the same endings. This is fatal, as individual chapters attempt to teach one case at a time, so one rarely practices constructing a useful sentence. Rebecca Domar's Basic Russian, pubd 1960 has it all, declensions of nouns & adjectives. Troika is designed to prolong the required coursework of students to become fluent. So dumbed down!Schaums's outline has more for $15, and Dover's Essential Russian at $6.
