Outstanding selection and friendly staff. Alex did a great job of walking me through the different sect of the store. So glad to have found a reso for keeping up my Russian practice so close to home!

Great book store with a large selection of Russian books. I’ve actually never seen a Russian book store in the US with this many books! Reasonable prices too, and there’s often quite a bit on sale.

I ordered a textbook and workbook from Russia Online on 8/18/20 in the amount of $81. On the website, it said that these books would ship within 2-8 days. So, when two weeks went by, and I still hadn't heard anything, I called this store. The person who answered the phone was a d**** unprofessional young guy who basically had no idea what he was doing and hung up on me. Eventually, James started an email thread with me. At first, he was apologetic and said that his in-store stock was depleted due to a recent large order for this book from a university, so he had to order my copy directly from Moscow. Ok, that sucks for me because the website gave me incorrect information. If I had known that, I would have ordered it from somewhere else because I had already started to pay for the services of a private tutor assuming that my books would have arrived within two weeks, as the website indicated. But I waited patiently, and asked for another follow-up a week or two later when I still hadn't heard anything back from them, but James made up another excuse that there was a delay in shipping these books from the publisher in Moscow, but he promised me that as soon as they arrived, he would travel to New York himself and pick up the imported shipment. Well, he lied to me because when they eventually arrived, he said they were sent by UPS from New York to Maryland, but I guess UPS lost this shipment, so I had to wait even longer for another order to come from Moscow. The books didn't arrive until the end of September (6 weeks late!). He said he was going to do something to "make it right" with me, but his last email to me was on 9/25/20. I sent him a follow-up email a few days ago asking if he still planned to keep his word, but he has ignored my email. How rude and unprofessional. I am very angry at terrible service I received from this company. I was planning to order future textbooks as I progressed through my Russian language learning, but I certainly won't use this company again. Shame on you all!!!

Best Russian bookstore in the DC area. They have a great collection of historical and new releases from Russia. I also get newspapers from this store directly from Russia. James, who runs the place, is always a pleasure to see.

Small well-organized Russian language bookstore with some books in English. A learner's or teacher's bookstore. Great for children's Russian language learners too. Near antique stores n a farmer's market (Saturdays before 1pm) and a sweet park: Flinn Park. And trains going by for train enthusiasts. Johnson's Garden Shop too. And Victorian houses in a nifty easily walked neighborhood for ogling and oohing/aahing over porches and gingerbread decor.
