Reviews

Cons:
Translations seem to be automatic and not very literal. That means that the word you actually care about sometimes doesn't directly appear in the translation. (Example: card 471, the word is opinion, but the translation is "thinks highly of")
Many sentences provide basically zero clue or context on what the word could be, which kind of defeats the purpose of sentence cards (Examples: "Реше́ния нет.", "Э́то зако́н.", "Оно́ огро́мное.")
Pro:
Good computer voice

A very nice deck. It is made with full phrases that by experience is better for learning, useful phrases and with all the info you need to know :p
The only thing is wrong with this is that the audio gets broken after a while so maybe one day you do your lessons and the audio does not work fine anymore (Not a reason to not download it)

Fantastic deck.

Nice deck

These are not proper targeted sentence cards, the target word should be highlighted, otherwise you don't know what the target word was until you reveal the answer. When reviewing TSCs you should have a choice to:
Read the full sentence and decide whether you understood all bits and pieces;
Read the full sentence but only test yourself on the target word;
Read just the target word and probably a few words surrounding it, grading yourself on the target word only.

EDIT: Now that's a great deck, thanks :-)

Comment from author before post was edited
This will be fixed soon
EDIT: It is fixed in the new version!

After the latest update it's really awesome! Especially the first 2000 cards!

I am on sentence 25 and I have found several mistakes already. Some lemmas are completely wrong and some sentences are so different from their translations. Sometimes even the target word of the card is explained wrong. The author should have put care to make the sentences more literal without losing the style so we can see a correlation between lemmas in both languages. If this deck was supposedly manually checked until sentence 1000, I cannot imagine how many mistakes I am going to keep finding, and I am just a beginner. This looked very promising but this many mistakes are only detrimental for a beginner and will create bad habits.
Comment from author
Sorry, that claim about manual checking was on an earlier version and the checking was not repeated after fixing the lemmatization error, so the some of the bad sentences might have gotten back in. Also, the checking was mainly for the correctness of translations and general grammar, not the lemmas. I will publish a new version of this some time soon, please give it another try then.
> The author should have put care to make the sentences more literal
Unfortunately I do not control this part. The sentences are from Tatoeba and sometimes they use idiomatic translations.
> will create bad habits
I recommend having plenty of exposure to other sources of content and delete cards whenever you are unsure/can't verify if they are correct.
EDIT: In the current version, the first 2000 cards had been more rigorously checked.

I wish it had more words! Spasiba though! :D

up to rank 5000, this is good for beginner. but when I look words over +9000, too many useless words.. I guess..? But thanks for author .really !

absolutely wonderful deck!

Nice deck. Thank you

Excellent deck, however I suggest modifying Anki settings to only show audio on front, then show Russian and small print English transcripts on back of card. This arrangement emphasizes listening rather than reading comprehension.
Also, make an effort to repeat audio aloud before looking at transcript. Unless you have exceptional audio memory, this will force you to (a) understand audio, (b) store meaning in short-term memory in language neutral form (images, etc), (c) actively use Russian grammar and vocabulary to recreate audio as you speak. This method thus builds both listening comprehension and active grammar skills.
