excellent for listening level A2
I found this book very useful. clearly spoken, vocabulary more or less manageable for someone who has a listening level of A2.
The stories are varied and suitable for adults too.

Great Companion to the book
I love using this audio version to read along with the physical book. It really helps me to understand the pronunciation of the more difficult words.
I usually read through with this audiobook, then try to read on a different day, but without the audio.
The stories are also really fun and have a great vocabulary.

Interesting stories in Russian
I enjoyed the stories, but would have liked a little more help with vocabulary. They are suitable for A2 level who are prepared to struggle a little and that is after all the purpose of the stories. I was surprised to find that the Spanish equivalent book has basically the same stories, but that actually is a bonus help!

The Most Stupid Stories in the world.
When I read the first story I thought it is the most stupid story in the world. However when I read the second story I realized that this one is the most ridiculous story in the world and the first one is just second ridiculous.
