Self-directed Russian study--textbooks?

[Alyssa Dinega]

Dear colleagues,

I recently received a request from a former student of our university who is doing military service in
the Ukraine.  He had no prior Russian language exposure but has taught himself some "basic, survival
Russian" since his arrival.  He would now like suggestions for textbooks and/or workbooks that would
help him obtain a solid foundation in the language.  He writes that his goal "albeit a difficult one, is
fluency in two years."  Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks very much,

Alyssa Dinega
