  1. Hmmm... Tatars, hated Russians, taught you Skazki in Russian? Why not in Tatarça?

  2.  @sterlingdafydd5834  oh, sad linguistic realities of endangered minority languages, I get it. Oh wait - how come in my family, where my father actually barely spoke Tatar, I still had a bunch of Tatar fairy tales growing up (printed in Tatar in late 70s-early 80s). Also, if a family is indeed bilingual, it would be somewhat inaccurate to speak of a dominant language (take many, many Russian families living abroad as an example). And even in families that are not truly bilingual, Russian fairy tales will be passed along, in Russian, along with English-language tales.

  3.  @tomarthur2617  actually, - a bit of a shot in the dark, but worth trying, there couldn't have been too many Britons in Kazan in 92: do you happen to have worked at a TNT/UPS/DHL-like company in Moscow through mid-late nineties?
