PREFACE Students of Russian have often expressed to the editor the regret that in the extensive list of available readers there were so few plays that were simple and interesting, containing material suitable for class room use. After a careful search among the Russian plays fourteen one-act comedies have been selected because they are comparatively free from linguistic difficulties and are short enough to be covered in two or three assignments. Although not all of them may be considered classical in the literary sense, they are all written in a lively manner, with a great deal of humor and sparkle, and many of them present scenes and characters of the present day U.S.S.R. These plays have been graded according to their difficulty, but the selections need not be taken up in the order in which they are presented. The material is intended for students who have had two semesters of college training in Russian. The vocabulary is complete and contains the less common idiomatic expresions. It is the hope of the editor that this collection will be found entertaing as well as instructive, and will be an incentive to the student to continue his work in the Russian language.

VOCABULARY CJlOBAPb This vocabulary is limited to the needs of this book. The gender of the nouns can be deduced from the termination. Those ending in consonants or in -ft are masculine; those in -a, -H are mostly feminine; those in -o, -e are neuter. The gender therefore has been indicated only in a few ambiguous cases and in the case of those nouns ending in -b, which may be either masculine or feminine, thus: (m.) or (f.). Of the adjectives ending in -bift, -HH, -OH, only the full (attributive) form is given. The short (predicative) form has the noun endings. The aspects of the verbs are indicated by Impf. (imperfective aspect) and Pf. (perfective aspect). ABBREVIATIONS acc.
