Excellent stories; excellent narration. Sometimes had to strain to hear, but that may be my ears.

Surprisingly fun

I hope we’ll see more stories like these. The title list is helpful . The narrator is easy to hear and pronounces words correctly.

Good to have audio Russian stories in English

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Tolstoy's stories are great, but Dobson's voice is strangely grating. Mediocre at best, sad to say.

Disappointing Narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The 26 slaves, the drunkard story and the hermits were to me the best ones.

Deep Russian stories

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Yes, even the best Russian stories can be ruined by a bad narrator. A false, forced gargle articulation combined with a rather strange prosody that has nothing to do with the story. Awfully hard to follow.

Disservice by narrator
