Our aim is to build a study corpus of Russian, in which a L2 student is able to select texts of a desired complexity. We are building on a pitot study, in which we classified Russian texts into two levels of difficulty. In the current paper, we apply the classification to an extended corpus of 577 labelled texts. The best-performing combination of features achieves an accuracy of 0. 74.within at most one level difference.deuL2 Russiandidactic corpustext complexitytext classification490bookpart10.5167/uzh-186960
