These are the official Russian courses if you go through them one by one they amount to approximately 54 hours of content. The thing I like about Memrise is they test you on your pronunciation, and they have lots of videos by Russian native speakers. So it really tests you in all your skills.Russian 1 by MemriseRussian 2 by MemriseRussian 3 by MemriseRussian 4 by MemriseRussian 5 by MemriseRussian 6 by MemriseRussian 7 by MemriseThese are some unofficial Russian Memrise courses you might like too. Although they tend to not have audio and they don’t have pronunciation tests or native speaker videos, they can still be a good resource.Learn Basic Russian Top 10,000 words part one Top 10,000 words part twoRussian Grammar through ExercisesAssimil RussianNew Penguin Russian Course Vocabulary Vocabulary resourcesAnkiWord ReferenceBa Ba DumL-LingoRussian Swadesh listEnglish terms derived from RussianWikipedia Russian Topics (Click on different topics then click on different words for their English translation and meaning)Russian IdiomsRussian ProverbsRussian Similies20,000-word Frequency dictionary of the modern Russian language (the Russian National Corpus)Russian spelling alphabetRussian Frequency lists/1-1000Russian Frequency lists/1001-2000Russian Frequency lists/2001-3000Russian Frequency lists/3001-4000Russian Frequency lists/4001-5000Russian Adjectives - Frequency ListRussian Nouns - Frequency ListRussian Verbs - Frequency ListRussian palindromesRussian PronounsAlpha DictionaryDubbed Russian Songs (Russian songs with Russian lyrics alongside transliteration and English translation.
