How accessible are things such as videos in English, CDs, and English books (novels etc)?
English books, CDs etc are quite accessible at kiosks and several markets, CDs cost from 70-120 roubles and contain the latest English language songs and computer programs. Several bookshops carry a good selection of novels etc in English. DVDs with English sound tracks are also not too difficult to find and range from 100 roubles upwards.
