Melrose Publishing is an independent publisher specialising in Russian language teaching materials. We are able to draw on many years of experience of teaching Russian at all levels from beginners to businessmen and diplomats and are aware of the specific difficulties speakers of English encounter in learning the language. Extensive experience of work in schools means we are very well acquainted with the demands of UK examinations boards and the classroom needs of teachers. We believe that language learning should be fun and look to turn our knowledge and enthusiasm for Russian to make it that way.
Vera Kalchenko is Melrose Publishing's illustrator. A graduate of the Moscow Polytechnic of Cinematography and Animation and the Nesterova Art Academy, she has illustrated books for publishers in Russia and the UK. Ms Kalchenko's work has been exhibited widely, including the Youth Exhibition, Kuznetsky Most, Moscow in 2003 and the 25th Jubilee Exhibition of Young Russian Artists, Krimsky Most, Moscow in 2001.
