I have initially wanted to post this post as a reply to the thread "Advanced courses" but I feel that there are many publishers mentioned here that are rarely or not mentioned anywhere in the forum, and they will be a source of discussion. Hence, I post the list of advanced Russian materials I have sourced and share it with you.

Although this post is on the list of advanced Russian materials, I have included some beginner materials because some of them lead the learners very well into the later advance part of the materials or introduced advanced concepts that are not found in commonly used materials (e.g. TYS, colloquial and etc.). The list is broken into 3 posts.

Other publishers:

1.     Advanced Russian Through History

Publication Date: January 15, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0300109474 | ISBN-13: 978-0300109474

Advanced Russian Through History is a Russian reader for intermediate and advanced students of Russian and heritage learners of Russian. The book consists of 36 chapters focusing on the history of Russia, from Kievan Rus' to the post-Soviet era. Each chapter features a written text and web-based learning tasks designed to promote students' abilities to understand and produce argument in the style of scholarly discourse, both in speech and in writing.

2.     Russian Motion Verbs for Intermediate Students (Yale Language Series)

Publication Date: April 24, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0300064136 | ISBN-13: 978-0300064131

Devoted entirely to Russian motion verbs, this work integrates text and workbook exercises, aiming to prepare intermediate students (second and third year undergraduates) to use comfortably the everyday Russian heard in conversation on the street and in the home.

3.     Russian Verbs of Motion: Going, Carrying, Leading

4.     Russian in Use: An Interactive Approach to Advanced Communicative Competence

Publication Date: June 28, 2006 | ISBN-10: 0300109431 | ISBN-13: 978-0300109436 | Edition: Pap/DVD

Russian in Use: An Interactive Approach to Communicative Competence is a four-skill language textbook intended for advanced students of Russian. The book focuses on high-frequency, nonliterary topics of general interest: geography, education, politics, ecology, and Russians’ perceptions of America. Each chapter contains preparatory vocabulary and user-friendly grammatical exercises supported by examples from contemporary popular literature. The lessons then provide practice using external resources; authentic reading texts; authentic, unscripted listening exercises (on a multi-media CD ROM, included with the text); and independent writing and speaking activities. The book emphasizes independent language production. Students examine topics from diverse perspectives and then are encouraged to develop and defend their own opinions in clear, colloquial standard Russian.

5.     Animation for Russian Conversation

Publication Date: September 5, 2008 | ISBN-13: 978-1585103102

Drawing on numerous classics of Russian animation, this text is designed for a wide range of learners from advanced novice to intermediate to provide interesting authentic cultural materials in the study of the language. Each lesson is based on a well known and available animation and provides exercises in Russian language skills and a springboard to the discussion of Russian culture.

6.     Political Russian: An Intermediate Course in Russian Language for International Relations, National Security and Socio-Economics

Publication Date: May 10, 2013 | ISBN-10: 0757564046 | ISBN-13: 978-0757564048 | Edition: 6

Rather than "covering the grammar," this update of the 1996 edition accents functional proficiency in reading, speaking, and listening, and current Russian political vocabulary. Simes (advanced international studies, Johns Hopkins U.), a native of the former Soviet Union, and Robin (Slavic languages and literature, international affairs, George Washington U.) structure this modular textbook on the concept of concentric circles: circle one is for generalist and specialist students who have completed an introductory course; circle two lessons are geared to expanding usable language. Two audio cassettes offer excerpts of actual Russian media for comprehension exercises. This publication of the American Council of Teachers in Russian is a collaboration with Johns Hopkins U. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Copyrights of previous editions are 1992 and 1990. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

7.     V Puti: Russian Grammar in Context, 2nd Edition

Publication Date: June 26, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0130282804 | ISBN-13: 978-0130282804 | Edition: 2

This highly successful program assists in the development of all the language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) by presenting realistic settings, situations, and contexts. Perfect for use in an intermediate or advanced Russian course, V Puti offers conversational exercises, various readings (biographies, poems, literature and historical texts) and grammatical explanations and practice.

More to be added.
