I don't think it was an unreasonable question at all. Even the language of a few hundred years ago can be challenging to a native speaker, much less someone who's trying to learn a language.
To answer your question, I really don't know. I don't know if it applies in this case, but one of the things you may have a bit of a hang-up on is some of the abbreviations and acronyms. Words like Обком, Обсовет, etc. may look really weird -- use something like sokr.ru for those...
