This is easy with Russian! There is a wealth& of books and DVDs waiting for you, and many are accessible from the internet or even at local Russian shops if you live close to a Russian expatriate destination.
The ressources available on the Internet in Russian are incredibly rich. You can find millions of high-quality newspaper article, commercial website, download Russian music, etc...
You can spend hours reading about local news, or strange faits divers that happened in remote places in Russia from your web browser.
And if you travel to Russia, you can buy truckloads of CD-ROMS, DVDs and books for pennies in the many open-air markets in large cities.
Sweet, I bought this book a while back, but haven't gotten around to reading it, I'll have to give it higher priority!
