Yes. I know a 7th grader who goes on my bus. His name is Dmitri. I do not know his last name, though. He speaks American english very well (he even got the accent right!).

Russian is more tough than spanish or italian or german, but not as bad as Chinese or Japanese.  Russian would be an extremely useful language skill to have as there are lots of business opportunities in Russia for Americans.  Let's just hope that Putin hasn't taken away ALL their freedom before you finally learn it.\n\nWarning:  I've been to russia a few times and if your avatar is true to form you need to know that there is massive ignorance and racism against black people there.  I've had students ask me point blank, "What's the deal with the blacks in America, are you all just afraid of them, do they just rob and kill all the time?, that sort of thing.

I know a mail order bride from Russia. She is not with her husband anymore for what ever reason. But she gets mad when you even bring the subject of immigration or mail order brides up in front of her. She screams and yells at you if you do.

I'm an American and lived in Russia for 6 months.  I am absolutely amazed at the strength and amazing fortitude of the Russian people.  They are very intellegent, hard working and patient in the face of adversity.  I think the family unit there is stronger than in America.\n\nAs a nation, however, I was so sorry to see such disarray and lack of organization.  Pot holes in streets, decrepit buildings and almost anything that was the government's responsibility to take care of was falling apart.  I am sorry that the salaries of Russian people are so small that it drives them to the black market.  I understand that it was just the necessity of survival but I was disappointed in that.\n\nAs a whole, Russian women are beautiful and the men are handsome and strong. Everyone was incredibly patient with me and my lack of ability to speak much Russian...much more patient than Americans are of people who can't speak English.  I think Russians have a much more global view of the world than Americans and are more patient and understanding  of the differences.  \n\nI admire the Russian people and am amazed at your ability for hard work under difficult situations.  Russian people have certainly made a big impression on me.
