Well, since you're asking: I will be 50 this year, born in the autumn of 1956. I should have been 26 when Kruchev died then. In those days the USSR was'nt that interesting. The first interest for Russian I got when a relative started learning Russian with the Norwegian army. He is today a language professor with the University of Oslo.
Well, USSR in USSR was probably more interesting Your relative isn't Geir Kjetsaa is it?[/quote:2de7ahy6]
My relative is Arnfinn Muruvik Vonen. He knows at least Russian, Samoan, and the language of the deaf in Norway. He works with the latter language at a school/centre for deaf people in Norway, and is there part time together with his job at the University. From time to time he has lectures at universities abroad, or participate at language conferences around the world.
