The Linguaphone Group has selected Evrokniga and Knizhny Dom to act as official partners for its character-based children's English language programme, Pingu's English, across Russia.

Moscow-based Evrokniga has been appointed to distribute the property across the whole of Russia, apart from the North West Federal region.

Meanwhile, Knizhny Dom will handle St Petersburg and the North West Federal region of Russia.

"Knizhny Dom and Evrokniga are revered and well established publishers in the Russian education sector and we are delighted to sign two partners in such an important strategic market for the Group's expansion plans," said Derek Price, COO of the Linguaphone Group.

"I have no doubt that with their hard work and expertise in the market, Pingu's English will fly."
