A book probably good for the advanced learner. Not so good for beginners.
Plus: One of its kind for Ru. Ru/Eng example translations. In the appendix most common multiple word expressions ranking.
Minus: Not good for beginners. Missing stress marks. Early examples with many words which are not within their range and even outside of the 5k most common words.
