  1. Catch the first lesson: Take any English word with suffix -ation / -tion and replace it with -aciya / -ciya. Take any English word with suffix -sion and replace it with -siya. Examples: revolu-tion > revolu-ciya n-ation > n -aciya profes-sion > profes-siya. My congratulations, now you know over 50 thousands of words in Russian.

  2. It was the most stupid example of "sanctions". Western countries denied for Russian companies to fly over own airspace. As response Russia did the same. But the most funny thing here is that Russia almost never flew over Western countries, except when it flew exactly in that Western countries. While Western countries all permanently flew over Russia just because it is huge and in center of map. As example, it can’t be unclear when you see map of world, but actually shortest distances from US to Japan is over north — over Russia, now imagine flight from EU to Asia, Middle East — everything over Russia. And now all Western companies forced to fly additional hundreds kilometers, spend more fuel and time, while all rest companies in world fly directly. As result tickets in western companies grew in price and flight need more time than in any other non-western air company. Western companies losing clients and markets, while foreign companies only increase profits. Idk how to comment this. Just awesome :D

  3.  @lervish1966  False. In a lot countries actually English can’t help at all. As example when I worked in few African countries, most of top officials knew Russian (because they all got education in USSR) and French (official for some countries, majority know it), Afrikaans also was useful (English mainly didn’t knew even local white people). Worked in Nicaragua — they even had no menu in cafe in English, in hotel also nobody knew English (in most countries of world at least in cafe you have english menu). In exUSSR and around it (e.g. Mongolia, Afghanistan, Turkey) in dozens times more chances to meet Russian speaker than English speaker. English is useful in Western Europe and former British colonies. Also it is useful when you are software developer :)

  4. By Irish passport you can make electronic visa just online (allow to visit country for up to 16 days). The easiest way, not more complicated than order of ticket for airplane. While by British passport — no, you already need full scale process with visit of embassy.
