    Russian ( )

    Russian is an Eastern Slavonic language closely related


    to Ukrainian and Belarusianwith about 277 million speakers mainly in Russia, Ukraine,
    Kazakhstan and Belarus. It is also spoken in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Kazakhstan,
    Kyrgyzstan, Finland, Mongolia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Israel,
    Afghanistan, the USA, Canada and a number of countries.
    The earliest known writing in Russia dates from the 10th century and was found at
    Novgorod. The main languages written on them in an early version of the Cyrillic
    alphabet were Old Russian and Old Church Slavonic. There are also some texts in
    Finnish, Latin and Greek.
    Russian started appearing in writing regularly during the reign of Peter the Great (a.k.a.
    Peter I) (1672-1725) who introduced a revised alphabet and encouraged authors to
    use a literary style closer to their spoken language. The dialect of Moscow was used as
    the basis for written Russian.
    Russian literature started to flower during the 19th century when Tolstoi, Dostoyevskii,
    Gogol and Pushkin were active. During the Soviet era knowledge of the Russian
    language was wide spread though the subjects authors could write about were
    restricted.
