>the textbook Poekhali has been criticised in Russia< In Russia Only?

[Vadim Besprozvanny]

I sent this email directly to James Beale (Russia Online, Inc.) but
probably it would be more relevant to share my impression with people who
use textbooks not just distribute them:

"Without going into futile discussion about the content of this textbook I
cannot help noticing that I would stay away from using texts written in
such a broken Russian. Even these three short fragments quoted at
http://www.amic.ru/news/199245/ sound grammatically and stylistically
ridiculous. 

>У меня опасная жена< 
>смотрю, где взять деньги< 
>У меня опасная работа, но много проблем< 
>У меня три пистолета, но я не люблю людей
в банке<
>На работе я читаю интересные лекции< 
>Иногда я принимаю наркотики, тогда
студенты говорят<

More than enough.
Vadim"
