Three ways to join our readership
If you have not seen a copy of Russian Life and are not sure whether it is for you, try our trial issue offer. There is no obligation (also, no free gift, for that see below), but we will send you a bill as a follow-up. If you are not interested, just write "cancel" on the bill and send it back.
If you have seen the magazine, are a confirmed Russophile already, or are fairly certain you would like to subscribe, you can get a FREE GIFT if you pop over to our online store and order a prepaid subscription. Of course, if ever you are unsatisfied with Russian Life, you can always get a refund for all unmailed issues.
Digital Delivery
Start a One-Year Digital Subscription to Russian Life and always be one of the first to get every issue, no matter where you are in the world! Viewable from any web browser (nothing to install) and a year's subscription always includes the current issue plus five back issues.
If you live outside the U.S., are a serious bit-head, or just like the idea of a digital subscription to Russian Life (maybe even in addition to your regular, printed subscription), just zip on over to Yudu.com and sign up. Just $25 a year (or a little more or less, since it is a British company, they denominate in Pounds Sterling, and the rate changes)! ">Back issues are also available.
