The current edition owes its existence to many individuals, all of whom we would like to thank. While time and space do not permit us to. thank them all individually, we would like to bring special attention to the efforts of the following: Without the computer skills and language teaching expertise of Language and Culture Instructor Garegin Petrosian, this book would not exist today. Thanks are also ‘owed to Linda Coble and the staff in OMIS who responded, generously and promptly, to every request for software, as well as hardware. Tatiana Hassan, Natasha Lord, Olga Shishkevish and many other Language and Culture Instructors in the Russian Section make up the team which brought the first, and then later versions of the FAST course to our students. We are grateful to them all for their hard work and dedication. Special thanks are due Tatiana Hassan who has been the driving force behind the current FAST course and this latest version of the book. Without the efforts of Lawrence Williams and David Coy in Multi-Media Operations we could not have produced the tapes which accompany this book. Thanks also go to those instructors in the Russian Section who lent their voices. Thanks are also owed to all the Language and Culture Instructors in the Russian Section who gave so freely of their time to proofread, correct and suggest improvements to this book. ur work on the FAST course has always enjoyed the support of our administration. We owe a special debt of gratitude to Dr. James Snow, Chair of NEE, Dr. David Argoff and Gary Crawford, Associate Deans of the School of Language Studies at FSi. Finally, and most importantly, we are grateful to our students, who have so patiently helped us test these materials and who have so generously shared their comments. We have benefitted greatly by their experiences, and we hope that our future students will do so as well.

We're glad you're going to be with us for the next 8 weeks, and we'd like to do everything we can to make this time both enjoyable and profitable for you. You may be wondering just what we have in store for you, and what you may expect to accomplish in the time you have. So, without further ado... F.A.S,T. COURSE OBJECTIVES The F.A.S.T (Familiarization And Short Term) course is designed to prepare students for life in Russia (and the Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union) by giving them the necessary basic skills in the language. We want you to leave here with the ability to face, without hesitation, any number of situations you will encounter in day-to-day life in those cities where you will live, work and visit. Some of the skills we will help you to acquire include the following: 1. The ability to ask simple questions pertaining to your daily practical needs. You will need to know HOW to get something done, HOW to elicit necessary information. 2. The ability to understand key words in the answers to your questions. You will learn to use those key words in your own speech. 3. The ability to work with numbers (as used in prices, phone numbers, addresses, etc.), especially the larger numbers which are in use today: 1,000 and above. Most importantly, you will learn to recognize and understand theseINTRODUCTION numbers when you encounter them, either in written or in spoken form. You will also be able to produce simple number combinations of your own (your address, your telephone number, etc.) 4. The ability to read and understand street signs, signs in the metro and other forms of transportation, in stores, hotels, etc. You will be able to read and decipher such things as concert/theater programs, menus, instructions for guests in hotels, rules for using public transport, hours of operation of various establishments, etc. 5. You will become familiar with the telephone and be able to handle many types of different calls. 6. The ability to introduce yourself, and others when necessary; to appropriately greet people and to distinguish between different levels of formality and informality in the language. You will be able to speak about yourself, your family, your interests and work and be able to ask your friends and colleagues the same. 7. Finally, you will become familiar with Russia (and other NIS countries, whenever possible), its geography, history, politics, art and literature. The F.A.S.T. course, and this textbook, have been designed to familiarize you with the Russian language and Russian culture in their broadest contexts. You should not expect to receive a formal presentation of the grammar and structure of the language. You WILL learn some grammar, but only that which it is necessary for you to know in order to perform a givenINTRODUCTION task. There are simple grammar notes contained in each lesson, but if you are a student who wishes to learn more about the theoretical aspect of Russian grammar, you may find the purchase of Brian Kemple’s Essential Russian Grammar helpful. The course will emphasize more the development of good, oral skills and aural comprehension and less so the development of an ability to read and write in Russian. However, skills such as being able to read signs and to write down names, addresses and/or phone numbers will be essential for you to acquire. With the help of the book and your instructors, you will accomplish that. All that remains to be said is that, while we are here to teach you the basics of Russian, you must realize that only you can learn them. No single textbook or instructor wili be sufficient without a certain effort on your part. You will rarely be asked to do homework assignments, but you should plan on doing work outside the classroom. We have audio tapes to accompany each lesson, and the Multi-Media Center has some computer-assisted Russian language materials. All this together can combine to make your F.A.S.T. course experience the best one possible. ’ YAU BAM!

The task is both a simple and a difficult one as you have already seen, now that you know the alphabet well. In this lesson we will work on the basics of Russian pronunciation; specifically on the distinctions between “soft” (palatalized) consonants and “hard” ones (non- palatalized); how these differences are indicated in the orthography (writing system) and how they are manifested in the actual pronunciation of words. “HARD” AND “SOFT” CONSONANTS When we say that Russian has 20 consonants, we are referring only to the 20 consonant symbols in the alphabet. In reality, Russian has nearly twice that number of consonant sounds due to something called “palatalization”, or “softening”. All this means is that certain consonants can be slightly modified by arching your tongue and moving it forward, towards the hard palate area (that ridge on the roof of your mouth where your upper teeth fit in) while making the consonant sound. The effect is to make the sound “softer” and, in terms of pitch, slightly higher. The best mechanism for a good, palatalized consonant sound is to SMILE while pronouncing. Try it -- it really works! Now you know how to make the sound. But how will you know when? Consonants which can be palatalized (all of them EXCEPT >, w and uy) will be pronounced palatalized when you see them followed by: -- the “soft sign” b (usually at the end of a word) 35M1, ANO) OR: --one of these vowel symbols: A, e, 6, 10, H (called “indicator” vowels) The function of these vowel symbols is to indicate that the preceding consonant is pronounced in its “soft” variant. The consonant is then followed by the vowel sound: a, 3, 0, y or bi. When any of the consonants listed above has no “soft sign” following it, or is followed by one of these vowel symbols: a, 3, 0, y, t!, that consonant will be Pronounced in its “hard” variant (no smiling allowed!). KEEP IN MIND: 4 and Ll are always SOFT, no matter which vowel symbol follows them. >K, ll and Ll are always HARD, even if they are followed by a dicator” vowel symbols. “soft sign” or one of the “ 36YPOK Ni. AN@ABUT PRACTICE IN RUSSIAN PHONETICS Listen carefully as your instructor reads the following pairs aloud.

ANOABUT SPELLING AND PRONUNCIATION In an ideal world, words will be pronounced just as they are written. However, since we do not live in an ideal world, we see that the pronunciation of certain words does not always correspond to their written representation. This is true not only in Russian, but in numerous other languages as well, including English. For example: the o in women is pronounced as i; the initial wis not pronounced in write, and the t in action is pronounced as sh. Russian has a specific set of rules which govern those instances where ‘spelling and pronunciation differ, and if you can master these rules, you will be well on your way to acquiring good pronunciation skills in Russian. REMEMBER: 1. Vowels carry stress and in Russian the stress can fall on any syllable in a word. 2. Russian words have only one stress. 3. Stress is not part of Russian orthography. However, many teaching materials mark stress as an aid in learning. 4.The way a vowel is pronounced depends on whether it is stressed or not. This is a very important rule and we'll discuss it in a little more detail in the next section. 398 aT RULE 1: THE VOWELS O AND A 1. In Russian, the vowels 0 and a are pronounced as o and a only when they are stressed. Look at the following words and note the syllable which is stressed. Listen as your instructor reads these words aloud and repeat after hinVher. You'll also find this exercise on the tape for this lesson. ‘ ' : ’ opt BHO AMMOH NarpHot Giopo ' ‘ 1 ‘ copT HOpMa >kaprouH Bonra KHHO 30Ha MeTpO_ Knock kooe Homep 2. in the syllable directly in front of the stressed syllable or when the vowels o/a begin words, both are pronounced as a short a similar to the “a” in about.

Poccua Russia covers more than 6.5 million square miles or, roughly speaking, an area more than TWICE the size of the United States. The Ural Mountains divide the country into a European (western) half and an Asian {eastern) half. To the west, Russia shares borders with Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia. Southern Russia extends to the Caucasus Mountains, which form the frontier with Georgia and Azerbaijan. In the east, that portion of Russia known as CnOupb Siberia stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China in the south. The southern portion of Russia is composed primarily of flat, treeless Plains known as cTenb steppe. Siberia itself is comprised of a northern belt of permanently frozen, treeless plains tyHapa and, more southerly, vast evergreen forests Taira. The tundra region has one of the harshest climates known to mankind, with extremely long, cold winters and brief, often sweltering summers, CaHKT Netep6ypr St. Petersburg , founded by Nétp Benuxun Peter the Great on the Gulf of Finland as a “window to the West”, has been nicknamed the “brain” of Russia. This is mostly due to its “European” look, thanks to a regular, grid-like pattern of city planning. Mocks Moscow, on the other hand, is often referred to as the “soul”, thanks to its more chaotic growth over the years and a more “Russian” look.YPOK N'2, TEQTPA@UA The climate of Moscow is more continental than that of St. Petersburg, with summer temperatures averaging in the high 70s. Summers in both cities can be humid (though the level of humidity there can hardly compare with that of a typical DC summer!), with frequent thunderstorms that seem to come up without much warning. Winter can begin as early as October, with the first significant snowfalls in early November. Winter temperatures in Moscow, as in St. Petersburg, average in the mid-teens. Thanks to the effects of the Neva River and the Gulf of Finland, winters in St. Petersburg tend to feel more damp than those in Moscow. In general, the weather in these cities is similar to that in the northeastern U.S.Ynpa>knenve NeI. Russia shares common borders with 14 different countries.

Kpactan nnowaap has been called Kpdcuan (red) since the second half of the 17th century. The square was constructed towards the end of the 15th century (around the time of Columbus’ discovery of America) when Tsar Ivan the Great Mean Benvixnit was building the magnificent cathedrals of the Kremlin Kpemnt, that walled fortress which was the heart of the city's defenses. Every major city in Russia would have had a kremlin, but the Moscow one is by far the most famous. The square was first called Topr (Trading Place) and was the site for some very lively commerce. Later, in the 16th century, it became known as Tpowukaa (Trinity Square) in honor of the Trinity Cathedral which stood at the southern end of the square. In 1571 the square was renamed No>kap (The Fire) after the great fire of that year. Finally, the square was named Kpacuan when it was cleared of all the trading stalls at the end of the 17th century. At that time the word Kpacueiit (red) meant Kpacnenii (beautiful), and had nothing to do with the red brick of the Kremlin wall which runs along one of itsYPOK Nt2. TEOTPAOUA Ynpaoknénne Ne3.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING A. Cases Russian is an inflected language which simply means that nouns (and their modifiers) will change their shape to indicate a change of function within the sentence. A noun may function as a subject, an indirect object or direct ‘abject or the object of a preposition. In each instance it will change its ending to inform you of its particular role. Each of these functions is indicated by a set of endings (1 each for each of the genders and 1 for plural), which are grouped into CASES: 1. Nominative 2. Genitive 3. Dative 4. Accusative 5. Instrumental 6. Locative/Prepositional names the subject (who? what?) shows possession (whose?) indicates the indirect object, recipient of the action (to whom? to what?) indicates the direct object (whom? what?) indicates instrument or means; or accompaniment (how? with what? with whom?) shows location (where?); indicates the object of the preposition (about whom? about what?) 27YPOK N2, TEOTPADUA B. Gender of Russian nouns All Russian nouns belong to one of three grammatical genders: masculine, neuter or feminine. Do not confuse gender with sex; the word for table in Russian is a masculine gender noun, but there’s nothing male about the object; book in Russian is a feminine gender noun, but there’s nothing inherently female about it. However, nouns referring to male beings will (usually) be masculine gender; those referring to female beings will be feminine gender. In most cases, the gender of the noun can be determined by its ending. The table below illustrates this: MASCULINE NEUTER FEMININE end in a consonant or end in -a, -A or -b “b nacnopt é3epo Bisa aBTOMO6HiNb ope amvinua noproénb nanbto Cnovpp oH OHO. ona 28POK A C. Adjectives Adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case. This means that when a singular feminine noun is in the nominative case (the subject of the sentence), the adjective that describes that noun must be nominative, singular, feminine. Since the noun and adjective do not necessarily stand together in the sentence, agreement is especially important. Agreement in the nominative may look like this: OH OHO OHA _ HOBbI OM HOBoe sane san KBaptipa xopowink ctyasHt xopduiee BUHO xopowan ctyAéHTKa OHM OHM OHM Hésele Joma HOsbIe 34aHHA HOBbIe KBapTVpbI xopowme CTY AEHTEI xopduine ana Xopowne cTyaeHTKH 29YPOK Ne2. TEOTPAOUA D. Personal pronouns Russian uses pronouns in much the same way English does; they take the place of, or refer back to nouns. The table below shows the correspondence between Russian and English pronouns: A ! Tot you (sing. and informal) on/oHd/oHd he/she/it MBI we BbI you (pl. and formal) oni the As you can see by this table, Russian has two pronouns for the second person you. Tol is informal and singular; Bb! is formal and/or plural. (See the comments on TbI and BbI in Lesson 3). As in English, Russian pronouns change form as their function changes inthe sentence. Take a look at the following sentences: | know you. You know me. I changes to me when it switches from the role of subject to the role of object. A stato Bac. Bui sete Mens. 30YPOK N'2, FEOTPAOVIAL E. BOT Bor is used in Russian in the sense of “Here is...” when pointing to something or someone. For example: ae Gara? Where's the luggage? -Bot on. Here it is. Fae Sinaa? Where's Linda? -Bot ond. Here she is. F. Why do verbs have different forms? The verb 2kuTb [to live] appears in two forms in this lesson: (oH/ona) >kuBéT and (OHM) 2kMByT. Verbs in Russian, as in English, agree with their subjects in terms of person (I, you, he/she, we, they) and number (He lives. vs They live.). The two forms indicated here are for a singular subject and a plural subject, respectively. OH 2knBéT B Mockae. He lives in Moscow. Ona xvBét 8 Kieze. She lives in Kiev. Oni 2kupyt 8 AMEpHKe. They live in America. Kro nBéT B Yxpanve? Who lives in Ukraine? B Y«pavine >xnpyT ykpanHuysi. Ukrainians live in Ukraine. 31YPOK NZ, TEOTPA@UA G.

The question word Kako“ 2KMTB: to live OH 2KHBET a = [ane | [sare | [on xneyr__ Kakoit, Kakde, Kakda, Kakle is a question word which asks: Which? or What kind of?.. It is an adjective and will agree in gender, number and case with the word it modifies. The first three forms shown here are the masculine, neuter and feminine forms, respectively. The fourth is the plural. Compare these forms to those of the adjectives in the table on page 29. OHA 7 kakan 32Oui h inative C The nominative case is used to indicate the subject of a sentence. It is also used for other nouns in the sentence which give more information about the subject. As it is the dictionary form for nouns and adjectives, you should memorize nouns and adjectives in their nominative case forms. Aiuay B teatp. lam going to the theater. Kutira na cron. The book is on the table. Bot fom. There is the house. $ro mon pyuka. This is my pen. Moit 6par -- uH>KeHEp. My brother is an engineer. B muctunyte pa6oraiot aMepuKancKue gu 3uKU. American physicists work in the institute. Because Russian has cases, word order in a sentence is less important than it is in English. The subject [that noun plus its modifiers in the nominative case] can come at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the sentence. Knowing the nominative case endings for nouns and adjectives will help you find the subject of the sentence more quickly. Adjectives are linked to their nouns by their endings. The adjective may stand in front of, after, or at a distance from the noun it modifies. You can always find the adjective which modifies a noun by looking for the one whose ending matches in gender, number, and case that of the noun. 3ro Bénbiit 20m. Ona yuvirenbanua xopéwaa, onbiTHaA.

It can be as simple as Sapaectayite/Sapascteyi! Like “Hello” in English, you can use this greeting at any time of the day and with nearly anyone. Keep in mind, however, that you will use this expression only once in the day. If you meet again later, you should greet each other using a different expression. You may use [,06poe ytpo! Good morning! Aobpnii exp! Good afternoon! or Qo6ppii Beuep! Good evening! depending on the time of day. More informal greetings such as Mpuer! Hi! or the very slangy Cant! Hey! are also Possible, but you should be careful when, and with whom you use these. As we do in English, you might ask someone you know how he/she is doing: Kak nooknBaete? How are you? Kak aena? How are things (going)? Possible responses are Xopowid Fine; HopmanbHo As usual; Huuero’ O.K. Unlike Americans, whose response to these questions is often nothing more than a polite “Fine, thanks.” Russians may take the time to tell you the whole truth! Qo ceuganua Good bye! (literally: “Until our next meeting.”) will work in all situations when saying good-t sae You may also use: Beero xopowero; Beero A66poro! Allthe best. Moxa!

SHAK Russian names Russian names consist of three parts: uma first name, dTuectBo patronymic and gamunua last name. UMA -FIRSTNAME | If you'd like to find out what a person’s first name is, ask: Kak Bac 30ByT? What is your name? Kak pdwe ima? What is your name? You can then tell yours by saying: Meus sopyr... My name is... Moé va... My (first) name is... [_6r PATRONYMIC The patronymic is a Russian’s second name. It is formed from the father’s first name. In English, there are last names which are similar to the Russian patronymic: Johnson, Peterson. The ending for the patronymic will depend on whether it belongs to a son or a daughter. This table gives examples of common patronymics and shows how they are formed:"3, SHAI Father's name [ Son’s patronymic | Daughter’s patronymic | Anexcdnap AnexcaHapOBA4 AnexcaHapoBHa Huxonait HukondeBA4 HuxondeBHa Adults address each other using a full first name and the patronymic: Vedi AnekcaHaposnu! Tatesva HnkondesHa! Non-Russians will also use this form of address when speaking to Russians. But when Russians address ircles, they use rocnoaMn Mr. or foreigners in formal or diplomatic Focno2ka Mrs./Ms. and the individual's last name. @AMMNMA - LAST NAME Russians rarely use last names when addressing each other. When identifying themseives, it is common for Russians to state their last name first, followed by first name and patronymic: Kak pac sosyT? -Tletpée, Opnit Hukondesny. Kax Bac 3081? --letpéea, BaneutwHa @égoposna.K Ne. SHAKOMCTI When to use Bol and Tot Russian, unlike English, has two different forms of the second person singular pronoun “you”: BbI and Tb!. Compare these to the French Vous and tu or the German Sie and du. The Bbi form is also the second person plural. Bb is used in formal situations, work settings, when speaking to a superior or to someone older, to whom you wish to show a degree of respect. Bt indicates distance (emotional, social or chronological). Tot is used in informal situations, family relationships (between spouses, parents and children, between siblings and with other relatives), when speaking to someone younger than you. Tb! indicates closeness (in age or in terms of friendship and intimacy). Bpl-forms of address can be full first name plus patronymic, full first name minus patronymic, or shortened first name only. Tei-forms of address will be first name only, either full or shortened. Twi is always used when addressing God, speaking to children (your own or anyone's) and calling your cat or dog. When they first meet, adults will usually begin by addressing each other as Bbl. At some point in time in the relationship, one may suggest to the other that they change to TbI by saying: Aapainte nepenAém Ha TbI; or Mo>kHo Ha TbI? If this is mutually agreeable, the relationship passes onto a new level; some people even make a ritual of it by drinking “6pymepuiapr”.YPOK N83, 3HAKOMCTBO dd! ing fri ii i The first name is the most common form of address between persons who enjoy a close relationship. The use of the various forms of the first name (similar to our American nicknames) is influenced by the degree of intimacy in the relationship. The greater the intimacy, the more variety in these forms. For example: A. Full forms of the first name (Bnaavmup, TaTbAHa) are the most neutral forms of address between individuals who are on either Bbt or Te! terms. B. Shortened forms without suffixes (Bonoaa, TaxA)indicate a certain degree of closeness. These forms are often used interchangeably with those in category A and are appropriate when the relationship is either But or Tol. C. Nicknames with the suffix -ka (BondgpKa, TéHbKa) imply intimacy which may be without affection. The younger generation prefers these very informal forms and depending on the situation, they could also be interpreted as condescending. D. Only if the individuals are on tei terms should the “diminutive” or “affectionate” forms of the name be used. Nicknames with these suffixes, -euka, -ehbKa, -loula, -louka (BondgeuKa, BonoseHbka, Taveuka, Taniowa) have a very specific coloring and non-native speakers of Russian will want to take care in using them. Russian women seem to favor the use of diminutive forms more than men and as you might suspect, men will use diminutive forms when addressingYPOK N3. SHAKOMCTBO women, but not when addressing other men. E. Nicknames with a “zero” ending (Bondas, Tat) belong almost exclusively to the younger generation and non-native speakers should avoid them. They are used as a type of vocative case, that is, when trying to get someone's attention. Examples of names and patronymics 7 7 MYOKCKVE UMEHA MEN'S NAMES Ya.

Examine the following English sentences. Note their punctuation and attempt to read them with the proper intonation: Your son graduated from Harvard. Your son graduated from Harvard? Your son graduated from Harvard! Now listen as your instructor reads this set of similar sentences in Russian. Note where the “center” of intonation is (always on the word in question or a question word, in a question), and the rise and fall of the voice: Bawa 204b oKoH4nna MY. Bawa ous oxdH4nna MY? Bauia qo4b oxdH4Hna MY! The Russian intonation patterns have been organized into a system which refers to them as “intonation constructions” or “UK”. There are 5 basic patterns: 1. WK-1 for declarative sentences, statements. The tone is even, with a slight falling off at the end. Often this intonation is perceived by speakers of English as “boring”, but you should resist the temptation to “jazz it up”. 28YPOK N'3, SHAKOMCTBO For example: Mof ¢amvinua Mopd3os. Mens sopyt Hukonait Metpoany. Sto mos xkeHd. Eé s08y't Exatepviva Bacinbesna. Mbi MockeWuv. Mbi xuBéM B Mockeé. 2. WK-2 — for questions containing a question word (UTo? _KTo? Kak? Tge? Koraa?, etc.). The intonation rises on the question word and then drops and levels off for the rest of the sentence. For example: Kro 310? Ut0 $10? Kak pac s0Byt? Tae pbi xneéte? Tae abi pabdraete? Kora sbi npnéxann B Mockey? 3. WK-3 for questions which do NOT contain a question word. This pattern is used to turn declarative sentences into questions without changing word order. The intonation rises on the word in question and then drops and levels off for the rest of the sentence. For example: Bui ropopiite no-pyccxw? Bei xopould ropopyite no-pycckn? Bui paSdraete B amepukdckom nocdnecTBe? Bei aBHo B Mockeé? So sdéwa mauina? Y pac ects nétn? 26YPOK N'3, SHAKOMCTBO 4. UK-4 for ‘incomplete’ questions which are usually prefaced with «A..2», Ina dialog, these refer back to a question asked previously. The intonation dips slightly at the beginning of the question, then rises sharply and continues to rise to the end of the sentence. For example: ~-Kax end? ~-Guens xopouid, cnaci6o. Ay sac? (AKaK y sac dend?) Moi cei Yuutcr B yHnBepcuTéte. A Bau? (de yuumca Baw cEIH?) Siétom mei noégem Ha YépHoe mope. A sbi? (Kydd ae noedeme nemom?) 5. UK-5 for exclamations which may be either sincere or sarcastic, depending on the context. The intonation rises at the beginning of the sentence, levels off, stays high and then drops at the end of the sentence. For example: Kaka cerdaua nordaa! , , 4 Kakan ceroaHA norozal Kakdi y Hero ronoc! Kaxdit y Herd ronoc! (the sun is shining, the sky is blue, the birds are singing...) (it's raining cats and dogs, the wind is howling...) {a real Pavarotti!) (he couldn't carry a tune in a bushel basket...) 21YPOK N'3.

While urban families are more likely to have just one child, it is not unusual to see large families in the rural areas. In the cities as well as in the country, parents will often live with their adult, married children and help raise the grandchildren. This extended family provides a certain degree of stability and security to the children and alleviates the necessity of arranging for day-care outside the home. The economic situation in Russia and the Former Soviet Union dictates today (and has historically) that both parents work to support the family. However, some things have changed and are continuing to change; you can now find mothers who do not work outside the home, though the concept of a “house-husband’ is still foreign to Russians. The use of words which indicate relationships between family members is somewhat fluid. Children will often refer to adults (their parents’ acquaintances and strangers alike) as TéTA Aunt or asian Uncle. You may also hear people refer to elderly individuals, with whom they are not acquainted, as 6a6ywika Grandma or Aéayuika Grandpa. The form of address will always be Bb! in these cases. Though there are terms for cousins: ABopomHEIA 6pat(for males) and ABoopoaHan cectpa (for females), Russians will often simply use 6pat or cectpa.SETTING THE SCENE A Russian and an American are discussing their families.

[ 2 LESSON N°5 WHERE DO YOU WORK? YPOK N°5 TAG BHI PABOTAGTE?YPOK N85. (1E Bbl PABOTAETE? Many of your acquaintances in your new country will be interested in getting to know you better. One of the things they'll be asking will be Te Bb! paGotaete? “What do you do for a living? Where do you work?” Don’t be suprised if you're asked questions, especially having to do with how much you are paid, which Americans would find inappropriate. During the Soviet period, wage scales were standard and common knowledge throughout the Soviet Union. A bus driver in Moscow was supposed to make as much as one in Irkutsk; a university professor in Kiev had the same salary as his counterpart in Gorky. In those years, manual labor was more highly valued (and better paid) than those professions which demanded more brain and less brawn. With the break-up of the Soviet Union and the disappearance of the communist state, the nature and scope of many professions have been altered. And as the country moves toward a market economy, new professions are appearing (uSnea>kepet, GanKvipbl, 6H3HecMeHEI and others) which enjoy varying degrees of popularity and respect. As a residual effect of the Soviet period, there are still many who think that any individual who is even mildly successful in business (and in economic and material terms) is obviously a cneky nfl who could have acquired his/her wealth only through illegal means. We can expect to see this situation continuing for some time as the society gropes its way toward a new order.bt 2 SETTING THE SCENE A Russian and an American are discussing their jobs and workplaces.
