There is a fairly large Russian immigrant population in Utah. But its not so much that as now that I speak and read a little, I seem to notice it so much more and I get frustrated when I can't understand it. Like in O'Hare the other week I was posting up in a quite corner waiting for my flight and reading a book when suddenly I noticed that everyone around me was speaking Russian. I had found myself in the waiting area for the American flight to Moscow. It was interesting to sit and listen, but I would have been hard pressed to reply because though I could understand, I can't speak for sh!t.Now you've intrigued me. I can't personally imagine any circumstance HERE where Russian would intrude into my life. Where I grew up in NY, there was a large Ukrainian population, and Russian may have had some nominal usefulness.
Tell me more. Is there a secret Russian underground here??? That would be great. Russia herself fascinates me. I'm surfing Englishrussia as we speak.
Or I'll run across an old Soviet poster or book in my wanderings, and I can read like 30% of it. Just things like that. Russia fascinates me as well, maybe thats why I studied Cold War history.
