blanche, you're wrong.
Russian does have that sound, but unfortunately, the pronunciations differ. The standard Russian has this sound. Ex.: den', ponedel'nik etc...
The problem is that some Russians pronounce these words like djenj and not like dzjenj.
@ moi: About GL again. OK, if you're so sure that there's a great difference between Croatian LJ or Portuguese LH and Italian GL, try to explain it here. Except the doubling phenomenon that occurs in Italian now and then in this sound, something else to add?
