Country: | Yeah it might be hard to get info. The Russians were just a secretive especially after the war.

For example: Soviet Fighter Tactics
These pages are a fairly good translation (I've confrimed this as one of my Russian contacts, who is a flight simulator programmer and an experianced aerobatics pilot, has read the orginal) of some of the pages from this book, which was "classified" until about 1992.

Country: | I was always amazed at how backwards they seemed sometimes. I went to East Germany in 1987 and then to Moscow in 1992 and it was just amazing how they seemed to be so far behind every one else socially. I have always been fascinated in Russia and so forth.

I guess if you don't have something, you obsess on it! | |

Country: | I am going to have to make another trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg when I get out of Iraq. For some reasom the people and the country just fascinate me. Especially when I was growing up in Germnay during the Cold War. The whole aspect of it amazed me. I always wanted to work in the US Embessy in Moscow when I was a kid. I thought it would be fascinating the whole cat and mouse stuff that went on.

Country: | I agree with you. When I was in Highschool I was on the rifle marksmanship team and my coach was an olympic shooter, she learned to speak Russian so that she could comunicate with her Soviet counterparts and she tried to teach me but I gave up after only 6 weeks it was just too hard for me. Now I wish I had not quit and I hope to still learn it someday.

Country: | Russian is the #1 language id like to learn. Followed by Italian.
Its a shame that my school only has the option of French and Spanish (Im doing French). We dont even have German which is a language id like to learn.
