This is my online backup server. I have virus scanned it, but please do it yourself also. Hope this helps.

This was OK'ed by staff until they can get it up too the download page. Tongue

Edit - DemiPuppet
I've temporarily pulled the the link while I ask Kohung a question about the material. The title page is missing which is needed to establish this material as published by the US government. I missed that when I said it was OK to post Embarrassed.

I checked with Kohung.  The Russian FAST material was digitized by a third party and it isn't clear if they would want it posted on the site.  Old-timers to the site will remember that gdfellows (the site owner) only wanted material that was scanned directly from US government publications and not from a third party commercial provider (who may in fact have merely scanned the books anyway).

In any event, there is a better (more recent and more comprehensive) Russian course referred to as the "Princeton Russian Course" made available by Dr David Freedel on the freelanguagecourses web site:

Dr Freedel will answer any questions you may have on the course. His email address is given with the course material. He's a very nice person; I've sent email to him in the past.
