‘AN ACTIVE INTRODUCTION TO RUSSIAN, published here forthe first time ina form
available to the public, has been in use at the Foreign Service Institute for about ten Years.
‘This volume was preceded by preliminary editions for internal use and represents the fourth
revision,
‘The idea for this kind of a presentation of the Russian language grew out of collaboration
between the principal author, Nina De La Cruz, and Dr. Ronald A. C. Goodison, Chairman of
the Department of Northern and Eastern European Languages at FSI. It was developed and
refined in the classroom and in private discussion, Mrs. De La Cruz generating the Russian
language materials, Dr. Goodison recording, organizing and editing them, both suggesting
change where change would help.
‘The FSI Audio-Visual Staff assisted with technical counsel from Joseph Sadote and
photography and drafting by John McClelland. Tape recordings of the conversational com-
ponent were made by Mrs. De La Cruz, Helene Mitrofanoff, and Dr. Goodison in the FSI
recording studio, under the technical guidance of Jose Ramirez. Kyrill Borissow, Jr. proofread
