@pony Oh c'mon, given no experience with Slavic languages whatsoever he deserves a fair share of respect for even trying. Much better than another Muscovian who at the B1 level still reads „ale“ as „álě“.

@ljs @pony Slavic languages are hard for Brits not because Slavic languages are hard but because Brits are arrogant.

@pony @oleksandr @vbabka I hear Ukrainians have a lot of good experience managing nuclear power plants, maybe Oleksandr could take a look?

100% safety record. OK well apart from that one time but you know...

Sorry sorry I'm an arrogant Brit ;)
