    Mordan and Remyisme, why do you call Moscow town? If Moscow is town, then what is city?
    Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.

    Yes Ramil, I know that.
    And that thing - wheel did you said, did you? How do you use that? How does it look like? We have not wheel yet - our engineers are still investigating at this!

    Barmaley - yes we have cows! But they look almost like bears!
    Я так думаю.

    Tssss. It's classified information. Wheel has only recently been adopted by russian military so if I tell you, I would have to kill you.
    I have no idea on how it looks like anyway

    And Belorussia is a motherland of the white elefants!
    Talking frankly, my zodiac symbol is elefant!
    Yes!

    Wha-what?
    I assure you!
    Я так думаю.

    никогда до конца не пройти тебя.

    If so, you must be referring to all the bones of mammoths found in Siberia. I hear that on some islands in the Berring Sea the sand on their shores is completly made up of crushed Mammoth bones.

    I was wondering why the professor I knew about was doing his "research" in Saratov. Now I'm beginning to wonder what EXACTLY this "research" consisted of and how he got funding for it...

    I remember when I was in Kazan'. Girls were dressed like sluts to go to university. It's university, not a bloody night club!
    I thought Britishers are cold-blooded in every situation. So sweet to debunk another myth!
