[zveriozha.livejournal.com]

Reading this community I sometimes wondered what good online resources can be recommended for students of Russian and found out that there aren't too many of them on the web, at least compared to ESL resources. Anyway they do exist. For example -

Some nice and easy games for Russian students. (requires java)
http://www.dotty-dingo.com/RU/Contents.htm

Chat topics, news and texts with downloadable MP3 files.
http://www.tasteofrussian.com/

A fast test of your level.

Some easy topics and games for beginners.
http://www.hello-world.com/Russian/EN_Russian.php

Pretty solid test (diagnostic placement test).

Online phrasebook. Just a phrasebook, but you can also listen to sentences, and it's not badly organized.

There were others but I've chosen several I liked from a teacher's point of view. Hope it'll be helpful for you, guys. Enjoy learning Russian. ;--)

Well, I gave a link here - chainik is a person who doesn't know anything about computers.

You can also insert into google or nigma a phrase like "виндоус для чайников" and see the results.

I know about this meaning. I think you didn't notice that my question was addressed to ephrain_oakes and was related to a particular usage of "chainik" (which clearly has nothing to do with computers or "a dummy"): http://community.livejournal.com/learn_russian/697147.html?thread=10786875#t10786875
