- to the public, has been in use at the Foreign Service Institute for about ten years. This
- volume was preceded by preliminary editions for internal use and represents the fourth
- revision.</p><p>The idea for this kind of a presentation of the Russian language grew out of collaboration
- between the principal author, Nina De La Cruz, and Dr. Ronald A. C. Goodison, Chairman of the
- Department of Northern and Eastern European Languages at FSI. It was developed and refined in
- the classroom and in private discussion, Mrs. De La Cruz generating the Russian language
- materials, Dr. Goodison recording, organizing and editing them, both suggesting change where
- change would help.</p><p>The FSI Audio-Visual Staff assisted with technical counsel from Joseph Sadote and
- photography and drafting by John McClelland. Tape recordings of the conversational component
- were made by Mrs. De La Cruz, Helene Mitrofanoff, and Dr. Goodison in the FSI recording
- studio, under the technical guidance of Jose Ramirez. Kyrill Borissow, Jr. proofread the final
- version.</p><p><span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../Images/fSI-3-2.png"></span></p><p>James R.
