any questions about poland or polish language remaining unanswered?
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol I only speak Russian but I have no real desire to go there anymore. I knew a former Soviet who designed Missile Defense Systems. He would not talk about modern Russia without a look of disgust and sadness.

Sad to say to everyone sane today russia is black spot on the map. Dont confuse with its people but their tzar gru police military are to be purged with 100 sharp blades.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol I have heard the same about Ukraine. The problems there are just different.
@AmpBenzScientist
Much closer to russian out of few borrowed words. Very close relative of ukrainian. If you have decent ukrainian, russian is not very hard. Romanian is hard to polcits as its too much like latin. Average polish and ukrainian and slovak can use their languages and will understand each other. Czech is strange and harder than slovak. Slovak is relative of ukrainian. Lithuanian latvian and estonian look like mandarin to polish. Something like this.
