    I am a Russian-native speaker and i can say from my personal expirience that it is true. I got a job in Europe mostly because of my Russian skills. I am working in a company of a on-line dictionary http://ru.bab.la/ where my part is working on the Russian dictionary, creating new tests and quizzes.I am really glad to be part of it because this dictionary is getting the biggest in the world! The working atmosphere in the company is stimulating and it is just fun.So, Russian people out there, be proud to know Russian and make use of it!
