I have picked up my Russian language studies and yes, sure the Political Forum is a huge distraction. But to be honest the way the world is moving lately, the political aspect has become one of the reasons I want to learn Russian.

Didn't expect it, but my re-awakened interest in Russian language and culture after a 15 year hiatus happened to co-incide with plenty of political and international events where I find myself sympathising much more with the values Russia stands for, than the Western ones.
What got into me is 2 more weeks with lots of exams. I'll still be reading current events threads but I won't have much free time to join in till after May 23rd. And I totally do agree. All the Russia bashing and lies in the Western media totally is unnecessary and counterproductive. There's just so many cool things I see in Russia that I never see here.
