Does anyone know where I can download (preferably free) any of these Russian audiobooks: 

"Melkii Bes" Sologuba
Vremya Vpered" Kataeva
"Golyj God" Pil'nyaka
"Peterbug" Belogo

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I am again reading more housekeeping manuals, and I came across a section on the location of the child's room.  It said not to place the room над воротами.    I looked ворот up and the only word that seems to fit is gate.  But that doesn't make very much sense.  Any suggestions?

Anyone know these words.  From a 1907-1908 article that details the new modern kitchen and its tools.

For use in soup making: утбаха
For use with meat,. soup, and vegetables: Эшебаха

Russian fairytales

Is there a Russian equivalent to "Once upon a time ..."?

I have heard that it is "В тридевятом царстве?"

What is the typical beginning of a Russian fairytale?

Thanks!
