That makes me think of the Hunt for the Red October. I grew up in Russia and still speak the language, feeling too lazy to switch keyboards right now. Did you learn it as a hobby or for work, if you don’t mind me asking?
I only had one year in high school. Started learning because of how common it is in NASA / Роскосмос liaison operations (I’m going into space systems engineering, and all crew on ISS must be bilingual in Russian + English). But then cooperation and diplomacy fell apart so now we won’t have a joint orbital project soon. It’s sad to see it go but the hardware is getting old.
Ended up switching languages to learn Old Norse (I’m more into ancient languages), but I still pick up a few phrases in Russian every once in a while.
Джрагон… Cyrillic makes so much more sense, why the heck did we have to get stuck with Latin (+ 2 runes)…?
You must speak Russian or similar. Always nice to see some unexpected Cyrillic.

That’s so cool, thank you for sharing. It’s sad indeed that it’s all falling apart. But how awesome it is that you’re learning Old Norse!
