Ruslania Books LTD - for everyone interested in Russia and Russian culture
Ruslania Books Corp. was founded in 1986 in Helsinki, Finland. It is a 100 % Finnish family owned business. The company was founded in order to publish a “Finnish-Russian agricultural dictionary”. After that Ruslania has published three dictionaries and Mika Waltari’s “Sinuhe” in Russian.
Now, Ruslania is one of the largest whole sellers and distributors of Russian books, films, music and periodicals. The company also has probably the largest selection of Russian sheet music titles in the World outside Russia.
Since the market in Finland is limited, Ruslania has been developing it’s international business strongly in recent years. The book store has customers in all continents. Thanks to their strategic location in Finland, the company has good connections to Russia as well as very quick and reliable deliveries to all countries.
Ruslania is tightly focused to distribute Russian products. The selection also has products in other languages, but they all must have something to do with Russia. For example books translated from Russian and Russian business contact catalogues. Thanks to focusing, Ruslania can offer very high standard of service to both corporate and private customers.
The company structure is very simple and there are no high costs for bureaucracy. This can be seen first of all in the pricing. Secondly, Ruslania can offer much more personal service than most of its competitors. Ruslania’s customer service is always ready and willing to take telephone calls.

In 2007, Ruslania has actively widened its business on the amazon.com Marketplace. The company is now the leading supplier of Russian products to the amazon system.
Ruslania Books Corporation is specialized in the following products:
Books
Ruslania started as a book store. That is why books are the very core of the business. The company has a big selection of dictionaries, text books, militaria books, art books etc. Fiction and non-fiction selections are very closely being kept up-to-date.
Periodicals
The periodicals division is proudly offering over 5.000 Russian periodical titles. Ruslania also has a network with East-European subscription dealers, that offer periodicals in other Slavic languages. The periodicals division does a lot of detective work to find the needed periodicals for its customers. The prices for subscriptions are being kept on a moderate level. In case of any undelivered issues, replacement copies are sent.
Sheet music
Ruslania’s sheet music collection is, without doubt, the most interesting one in the whole World outside Russia. The sheet music department has good connections with some of the largest and the most active Russian sheet music publishers. Add to that co-operation with big whole sellers and specialized music stores and you will see a unique importing system. Ruslania uses its expertize in languages to translate titles and tables of contents from Russian to other languages. This widens the circle of users.
Films
A big issue when dealing with DVD films is the region code classification. Ruslania would like to keep a very various selection of films. But not all films published in Russia are suitable for “All region”. This is why the current selection consists of a majority of films for “All region”. Some films come for region code 5 (Russia) and some for region code 2 (Finland). However, all films can be watched on a DVD compatible computer.
Music
Ruslania has Ukrainean pop music as well as a very large and wide selection of Russian pop and classical music. Thanks to the company’s specialists, the selection has always the newest and the favourite CDs.
Maps
Electronic GPS-maps are offered for Garmin devices. Ruslania is the leading importer of these products from Russia to Finland and to the EU. Printed maps and wall maps are well presented, too.
Posters, post cards, stamps, calendars etc.
Ruslania has many years of experience in importing and translating Russian propaganda posters and post cards. These items are very popular amongst the customers of the book store in Helsinki. Ruslania has a lot of authentic stamps from the Soviet era. New calendars are added the selection in the end of each year.
Software
Ruslania offers translation software, contact catalogues, tools for Russian language proofing, dictionaries, electronic translators etc.

Dear Ruslania webstore,
I received my order today and am impressed that it came so quickly. Thank you very much and till next time!

Dear [Ruslania],
I have received the book, and I am very happy with the quality of your service. Thank you for helping me get these rare books. The shipping only took five days, which is pretty amazing.
I have watched the YouTube video, and I think it was a really good idea to put it on YouTube. It is your multicultural identity (and thus, the multicultural identity of your business) that makes it particularly interesting and appealing. I think your average customer can relate to some of your own experiences, such as growing up in a bilingual household, or being able to function in two very different cultures, and so on.
Thank you once again, and I will continue buying books from you in the future.

I am very impressed with your service. The CD's arrived more quickly than most of my domestic orders from Amazon. I visited your website the other day and it too is very impressive. Thanking you. Jon F., USA
Dear Ruslania,
Thank you for your enquiry about the deliveries of my two orders from
Ruslania Books Oy. I am pleased to tell you each order arrived safely within
10 days after I received notification from your company that they had been
dispatched. I am very grateful to Ruslania Books for making it possible for
me to have the items I ordered. I will not hesitate to use your expert
services in the future. I enjoy the time I spend studying your offerings on
"ruslania.com".
Sincerely,
Craig R., Canada
The GPS-maps for Garmin were great! They were a valuable help in making the rally a success. I will let you know when I do my next trip through Russia. I will probably wait until then to buy the new maps as it may not happen for a few years.
