Russian and the reason as you can guess is Stalin.

For me it was Beria.

Yes, the famous Beria circle.(flower game).

They were mostly perverts. Ruthlessness of this man is rare. I don't know why but some things I read about him made Stalin look like honest pensioner (compared to Beria).

Ex Yu communist elite was boring. No sexually hazard games. Only lovers here and there.

The best part was when Beria kissed Zhukov boots in vain after his death sentence was announced by Krutsev in the house they had trapped him.

Zhukov

Is Daria Zhukov (Roman Abramovich's new girlfriend and wife) his granddaughter or some relative? She must be. I don't know, do you?

Everyone needs some boots to kiss.

She is half Jewish (mom), and feels more Jewish than Russian.

cute

She looks like a cute Russian girl.

Her father is one of oligarchs. Handsome man. I tried to figure out why I like him...he is bald :))))

It looks more like preservation of the capital than anything linked to boots.

Russian reality is so byzantine and complicated that is totally unapproachable for us outsiders.We just enjoy the results and wish the best.(this Abramovic is a fan of Rhodos and a Greek singer called Pantazis who came from former USSR.Everytime Abramovic comes with his personal jet to Rhodos to stay on his yacht(the biggest in the world) he calls Pantazis to sing in a club reserved only for Abramovic and his friends for this particular night.Russian oligarchs usually want everyone out of the place they use for personal entertainment.

Merged: What languages do you speak

Angielski and Polski fluently for me. German basic, learning Russian [don't ask] for the past month or 2. Tried to learn a bit of Spanish a while ago but gave up as I didn't have the time and just had enough of it as it is in no way similar to anything that I know so there is no starting point for me and I like that. How about you?

Come on guys don't be shy?

Good luck. We need such intelligent people in Poland. Come, settle, get married or bring your wife and have as many equally intelligent kids as possible.

Is Babbel adequate for learning a language?

No single system is adequate in itself. All are necessarily artificial.
Lyzko 45 | 9,420

Yes. You're right.

There is only one system that works: drop the old one ASAP and use the new language 24/7 - even when talking to yourself.

Yes.

A blend of methods and approaches usually works best. How that works depends largely on the person and their circumstances, as well as the specific language skills they need to acquire.

The worst place: the classroom. The best: streets.
I "studied" Russian for seven and Latin for four excruciating years and couldn't say what's for dinner in either one when I was finally done with that torture.

I am happy and proud to be able to report today that I have no idea what plusquamperfectum is all about.

Babbel

Essentially the Direct Method. Dated, but helps as one tool among many.

Many theories about that one.
