Online journals/magazines for learning Russian?
Hello eager learners/speakers of Russian! I am looking for some online resources like magazines or journals to build up my vocabulary (and how it is used) in Russian. Can you recommend any that are not too hard for someone who doesn't have yet a strong vocabulary?
News sites seem to be really too advanced for me at the moment.

What is your experience regarding those resources? Are they even suitable to build up vocabulary or would it be better to go on with textbooks or texts that are designed for language learners?

I would be happy to hear your opinions and recommendations :) Thank you!

Hi! If you’re interested in fashion, try to read Glamour or Cosmopolitan in Russian.

Hello, Marlene.
I can recommend "Diletant". There are plenty of interesting facts from different spheres of life. It is mostly historical but there is a lot from modern history.

Hi Marlene!
I've never seen something like deutsch perfekt for Russian. I don't think there are any Russian magazines that have adapted language for different levels, like it is carried out in deutsch perfekt. But I can recommend you some magazines I read:
Wonderzine: it is a profeminist magazine about fashion, psychology, and political issues as well.
<a href="https://www.wonderzine.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wonderzine.com/</a>;

Такие дела: it is all about social issues in Russia, charity, medical care and so on.
<a href="https://takiedela.ru/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://takiedela.ru/</a>;

As for native speaker, I don't have problems with reading these magazines:) But I have some experience in reading German magazines, and it seems to me that finding an interesting material is the most important thing. I read some articles that are especially interesting for me, though my German vocab is not so advanced.

Удачи!
