Should I learn Russian?
Real Deal, I am Russian. But my grandmother is Ukranian and my grandfather is Tatar.

Seljuk, before you make this decision maybe you find it interesting how Turks live in Russia. I mean "forewarned is forearmed" thing.

LEARN RUSSIAN DEFINITELY!I'm not telling you to do that because im myself a Slav, a Czech, but for that, Russian is really a necessity in both the CR and the world.When i enter to chat-sites where different languages are spoken, I don't speak my own language Czech but rather Russian as it is more widely known.Many more people speak it today, and it's getting more important day by day.I hope Russia develops quickly enough to catch the trading world around herself.Best luck with your Russian.By the way go RUSSIA and learn RUSSIAN!
Living with race hate in Russia

DON'T LISTEN TO ANY OF THE RUSSIANS ON THIS SITE. RUSSIANS ARE EXTREMELY RACIST AND HYPERNATIONALISTIC - YOU WILL ENCOUNTER THE MOST EXTREME FORMS OF BIGOTRY AND RACISM IN RUSSIA, GUARANTEED, IF YOU AREN'T WHITE RUSSIAN.
Most of the Russians on this site look pure white so they are oblivious to racism in their country. You MUST be careful if you don't look white otherwise you will either get beat up or, worse, killed. If you date a Russian you are guaranteed to be denied entry into certain clubs and restaurants, and you will be threatened and heckled everywhere you go.
I, however don't blame the Russian people because they are "relatively" poor and culturally backward - they are afraid of foreigners and are constantly inveighing against the foreign immigration because of the monumental problem of white-Russian demographic decline. In 5-10 years, I hope, Russians will be more accepting of foreigners into their country because of globalization, but I wouldn't bet my house on it.
Even if you look white, you aren't safe - Russians dislike Poles, Chechens, and Georgians; if you are Muslim, you too WILL be discriminated against during your stay in Russia. The police WILL NOT protect you and sometimes they encourage the attacks against minorities. For the most part, Russians are either oblivious to the racism or they are unwilling and scared to take a stand. Slowly, but surely, liberal, pro-democracy groups are protesting against discrimination and racism against foreigners in Russia, but they are the minority (no pun intended - not that this is funny by the way).
Russia: racism on the rise

A spate of attacks against ethnic minorities and African students reflects a wider growth of nationalist political sentiment, says Zygmunt Dzieciolowski.

Well, I find this statement racist itself, because lots of people of different religion and race come to Russia and leave Russia without a trouble. You blame the whole nation for some 100 murders a year on racist base.
Are you propagandist?
For your knowledge - Russia is a country second to the USA in number of illegal immigrants. Russians living on their own territory face harsh criminal pressure from newcoming ethnic mobs. So the reaction is opposite to the action. Statistic shows that number of crimes commited by foreigners against Russians is higher then race crimes commited by Russians. Definately recent economic crisis has added to this much and altered usual Russian internationalism to the opposite.
>>I, however don't blame the Russian people because they are "relatively" poor and culturally backward - they are afraid of foreigners and are constantly inveighing against the foreign immigration because of the monumental problem of white-Russian demographic decline.
Funny indeed. Did anybody ever ask oneself why newcomers move (or, maybe, escape) to Russia? Lots of Ukranians, Moldovans, Tajiks Georgians (the average monthly wages in Georgia is about $80) have so degrading and poor life in their countries that they run to Russian big cities to scrape up for living of their families stayed "at home".
And illegal immigration has nothing in common with demographic crisis, I can assure you. If Russia had real need in immigrants we would INVITE them.
>>In 5-10 years, I hope, Russians will be more accepting of foreigners into their country because of globalization, but I wouldn't bet my house on it.
If you guys stop bashing us for your own stupid conclusions, we will.
>>Even if you look white, you aren't safe - Russians dislike Poles, Chechens, and Georgians; if you are Muslim, you too WILL be discriminated against during your stay in Russia.
Give me a break. Open any Polish newspaper and read what they write about Russia. However no Pole has been discriminated in here. If you think the opposite, I am waiting for a link...
As for Chechens there is some tensions on the both sides.
Talking about Georgians, try to google who is Boris Akunin (a pen-name for Grigory Chkhartishvili), Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Zurab Tsereteli, Valeri Meladze, Zurab Sotkilava etc. These are Georgians. They live in Moscow.
>>The police WILL NOT protect you and sometimes they encourage the attacks against minorities.
Where did you get this crap?

Mishuk chill out the guy doesn't know life that's about it. Don't bother yourself to replying this doorknob.
Russia has the brightest future of them all, if counts Vanga has said so....))))) who was not from Russia

Oh, I didn't think Russians were that racist, I stil hope they are not that much...Otherwise I'll be very sorry...By the way, Hey Russians, is the education in Belgorod State University good for foreigners?Would you recommend me to go there?
It's difficult to recommend anything. I live 10 000 km from Belgorod.
I just found out that in the rating of Russian Institutes of higher education BelGU occupies 269 place among 1780 Institutes.
If you are afraid of possible racism (which is doubtful, IMHO, because Russia gives education to some 100 000 of foreign students yearly), you may find some more "Islamic" place like Kazan or Ufa.

As far as I know, Vanga predicted that Soveit Union will be restored and Bulgaria will be a part of it...
Hm. Looks like our future is free from prophecies and fully depend on ourselves.
:-p

Well, Russian is an important language. It is an official language of the United Nations, and spoken by 170 million people as mother tongue. It is in the top ten languages.
The top ten languages:
1. Chinese
2. Spanish
3. Hindi
4. English
5. Arabic
6. Bengali
7. Portuguese
8. Russian
9. Japanese
10. Penjabi

Sam,
There are slightly more Native Hindi Speakers(more or less 400 million) than Spanish.
What do you mean that there are other very important languages? Spanish is more important? How can that be when it is virtually unknown in Russian speaking zone?
French, German, and Italian as well as English are the most popular Western European languages here.
