Quite right, Alex. It is okay about Moscow, St Petersbourg and some other
cities. And we are connecting other regions where it is not so. Think 
it would be better if people all over the world spoke the only language,
but is it possible? Hope it would change ( English language in Russia and
ex-USSR countries ) but God knows when. And things would run better if
we have office speaking English to all the world and Russian to people
which have not learned English good enough yet.
