Why are there no Russian courses listed?  Will they be available sometime in the future?  If not, I would be curious as to why not.  Thanks

Because there is just no Russian course. Except for the DLI course, but the copyright status is not clear there...

Because no one has put forth anything eligible for posting and it's made worse by the fact that FSI's Russian materials are very hard to get. NTIS does sell FSI Russian FAST but it's very expensive, and frankly I wonder about its value since it's the FAST course instead of Russian Basic.
 
Back to your post, it's hard to put an estimated time of posting if no one so far has volunteered to post anything or if stuff is almost impossible to find.
 
Someone on another forum did stumble upon a book for a Russian course by FSI, but it seems to be a little different from a Basic Course.
 
 
Zorndyke's comments about DLI are spot on. We've had a lot of arguments here about DLI's Russian course because of its uncertain eligibility for posting here. Run a search in the forum using "DLI Russian" as the keywords.
