This highly successful textbook for senior pupils in schools and students in further education is available. 

The authors are very experienced and highly respected teachers of Russian in English schools, and they compiled Tranzit in answer to the problem experienced by all such teachers: how to provide suitable material for typically sixteen to seventeen-year-old school pupils working for the Advanced Level GCE examination in English and Welsh schools. [For non-English/Welsh visitors to the website, this examination is taken by students applying for entrance to universities at around the age of eighteen.]

The language material is specially selected to engage the interest of such young people, and to develop their ability to communicate freely in spoken or written Russian. Dr West and Dr Ransome assume that the language of the classroom will be Russian.  

Tranzit is easier than Kompas (described below) and has proved very popular indeed as a 'bridge to advanced studies', as its sub-title claims. Since its appearance it has also been widely used in adult and further education classes.
