JC Helary --- I was thinking something similar with respect to Russian... Knowledge of Russian in a country like Uzbekistan is a hell of a lot more useful and "international" than knowledge of English. The "international language" of the CIS is Russian, and if you go into an business office building in Kiev or Tashkent, you are probably going to hear Russian spoken, not Ukrainian, Uzbek... or English.
