There are many Russians in Switzerland, more every year. I know two bookshops that sell books in Russian:
DOM KNIGI www.domknigi.ch Rue du Midi 5 CH-1201 GENEVA Tel +41 22 733 95 12 Behind the train station, not far from Rue de Sibérie. Not a huge shop but still a good selection and always busy. The guy that runs it, Mr Briquet, is not Russian but found this niche and it seems to work. PINKRUS www.pinkrus.ch Spiegelgasse 18 CH-8001 Zürich Tel +41 1-262 22 66 Fax +41 1-262 24 34 I had read an article about the guy that started (Mr Pinkus!) and it and the new owner that took over when it was nearly bankrupt. Magazines, DVDs and many books in Russian. I just visited the bookstore for the first time the other day and it's well worth a visit. Many good books for the student of Russian, almost as many as in a large Moscow bookstore on that specific topic. Staff helpful although soviet looks. Extremely picturesque area - if you come with your girlfriend she can keep busy while you look at the books.

"Extremely picturesque area - if you come with your girlfriend she can keep busy while you look at the books."
Is this because girls don't like learning languages or simply because they can't read? ;) I ordered online from Pinkrus and I recommend them - good prices and quick service. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Boyfriends are welcome to shop too unless they happen to share your interest in the Russian language. 1 person has voted this message useful |
