Many people of ex-USSR countries speak Russian and ( for now ) not so many speak English ( alas! ). Thus language selection matters something too.
I'm wondering why Moscovites try to decide something for other people. Soviet Union is history now for more than 6 (!) years. During this period there emerged new generation of people graduated from high schools etc. Let's make registry for "former Roma Empire", why not? We must look into future, not past.
As I said before, basedon my own experiance, speaking Russian is contentious. Best to use English and be done with it. Use Russian for the Russian speakers if need be, and English for everyone else. DON'T use Russian as default for slavs, it's offensive to some.... Aleks
