I learned few new things about Russians : )
…a company, Clara Anima, from Tallin, Estonia, specialises advertising in Russia and for Russian speakers… they make mistakes in English too (probably less than Russians) but they are strong partners with Google’s Ads, they joined forces with Facebook too, to invade the Russia’s Advertising Space, they used some cool 3d-images of Caesar I think (one had cool blue eyes, the other blue glasses) I decided to click – I learned that Russians don’t like foreign languages (not to say at all, some of them well, but not that much), it seems they strictly like Russian, Clara Anima says that 93% of Russians do not know a foreign language (wow, didn’t know, that’s really quite interesting detail : )
…why 93% don’t ? well, who knows, but based on Clara Anima’s stats, maybe because 3 hours per day Russians spend on social networks, 87 million of them use “vk” (Russian kind of Facebook), 47 million use “ok” (also Russian), and only 15 million of them use + Fb – even the search engines they use are 65% Yandex, 34% Google… and the rest 1% probably the Chinese Baidu, or something – I was guessing : )
