Dear Sarah,

As a big audiobook fan, I'd love to hear of any follow ups you get on this
post, if people reply to you privately. I'm developing a course on audio
history, and have a few Russian history titles myself, though no constant
supplier. I wonder if there's a Russian equivalent of Librivox yet?

There is a service that was called something like Audioknigi.ru, but the
problem there was that you had to go into the store to get the downloads. At
least as of a year ago.  Maybe things have changed?

Best wishes,

John
