Does anyone know some good Russian vocabulary lists--meaning ones that have the thousands of words necessary to have a good command of a language presented in an organized way?

Although specific vocabulary training is not exactly my cup of tea, this one might be a good reference for those whom indulge with such activity.

Using Russian Vocabulary by Terence Wade is excellent. It provides over 5000 words, their translations,
etymologies and along with quizzes, exercises and supplementary material, all organized into subjects
and further organized into other sub-genres, it is an indispensable workbook and dictionary. This is an
excerpt from the foreword:
Using Russian Vocabulary provides the student of Russian with an in-depth, structured approach to the
learning of vocabulary. Containing over 5,000 words, it can be used for intermediate and advanced
undergraduate courses, or as a supplementary manual to the study of Russian vocabulary at all levels –
including elementary level. It is made up of eighteen units covering topics such as the physical world, the
human body, leisure and industry – each unit consisting of words and phrases that are organized
thematically and according to levels. Each unit contains approximately sixty graded exercises,
encouraging students to practise using the vocabulary in context, and providing a lively and engaging
set of self-study tasks. Helping students to acquire a comprehensive control of both concrete and
abstract vocabulary, this book will be welcomed by all learners of Russian wishing to improve their
competence in essential communicative tasks, and will function as an invaluable teaching resource.
