online booksellers in Russia

[Tatyana Buzina]

Hello,
for new ones, there are probably too many to list. A good place to start would be
www.ozon.ru
A large selection, decent prices, on the downside, they have a nasty habit of advertising items they don't have, that applies especially to older books which they sell sometimes as well.

then there are these:

www.biblion.ru
www.colibri.ru (large caliber bookstore as they call themselves)
www.bolero.ru

Every large bookstore has an online sales division (for instance, http://www.biblio-globus.ru/), and almost every publisher as well, so if you are looking for a specific book, it might be easier to type in the title in a search engine and take it from there.

For old books, there is
www.alib.ru
it's not a bookseller as such, it's a site for various booksellers to advertise their inventory. You can find both individuals and bookstores selling there. I buy extensively from them, with reasonable caution, you can avoid being swindled although it happens sometimes. You can also post your own ads if you are looking for a specific book. Although this is more risky than buying from their permanent members. 

There is also 
www.oldbooks.ru
they have a smaller inventory but they are reliable, at least I bought from them a few times, and everything went well. 

Hope that helps,
with best regards,
Tatyana
