It's a solid edition with font that is easy to read with nice, thick pages and a wonderful cover.
The contents are well organized and cover all your basics; morning, evening, hours, occasional prayer.
The language is Slavonic, but written in old Russian lettering from before the Revolution.
As a Russian-speaker (and reader), there's still a barrier to entry because Slavonic is different... but it doesn't take that long to adapt. In my humble opinion, it helps to get the English-language Jordanville prayer book (if you don't have one in modern Russian), because it's got most if not all the same prayers in modern English. This helped me get my head around difficult turns of Slavonic so that I could gain a better understanding of it.
Well-worth the money.
