Lingvist has a very good vocabulary app.
Bondar's Simplified Russian Method is the best textbook to get you reading quickly. It was printed by Middlebury College in 1949 and was used by the CIA and DOD. It's a funky way to learn while still being grammatically accurate, even if it uses words like гражданин/гражданка and перо.) Each chapter is between 3-10 pages.
Unlike новая искра! It doesn't waste your time with endless pictures of people saying "Hello, Mr. Smith, how are you" "Good, thank you" "Are you a teacher" "Yes, I am a Russian teacher." etc.
It's all about increasing vocab, methodically teaching grammar and getting used to reading long-ish passages.
You can get a reprint for $35 on Amazon.
