Records for Разговорник русского языка (Russian Language Phrasebook) — Moscow News / Melodiya audio course (green and blue variants)

Audio Recording

Two records and their paper 7-inch record sleeves for a Soviet Russian-language audio phrasebook by N. Zarubina and N. Ozhegova (Н. Зарубина, Н. Ожегова), issued on the Melodiya label as a free supplement to the Moscow News newspaper and its foreign-language editions. The fronts carry a psychedelic op-art wave design — one in green, one in blue — with the Cyrillic title, the authors' names, "бесплатное приложение к газетам" (free supplement to the newspapers), the Melodiya logo, and the mastheads of the paper's editions (Moscow News, Les Nouvelles de Moscou, Novedades de Moscú, and an Arabic edition). The sleeve's backs bear a multilingual notice (Russian, English, French, Spanish, Arabic) stating that in 1975–1976 the weekly serialized the phrasebook across 6 records sent to subscribers, distributed via V/O Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga (Moscow). Both sleeves are aged and worn, with toning, soiling, and edge/corner wear.

The course was a vehicle of Soviet language and cultural outreach — a free audio phrasebook bundled with Moscow News and its foreign-language editions, including the Spanish Novedades de Moscú. The Spanish-edition tie-in and distribution through Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga account for its circulation to Spanish-speaking readerships.
