Russian is the most common and most important Slavic language. It has about 165 million native speakers, and in addition to these, a good 100 million people speak Russian. Russian is most commonly found in Eastern Europe and Asia, but the language is also widespread throughout the rest of Europe. The Russian language thus plays an important role in Slovenia as well, which makes it understandable that it is so very popular among our listeners, who are traditionally learning Russian at the Hiša jezikov language school.
