Russian is a Slavic language spoken primarily in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. It is the official language of Russia and one of the six official languages of the United Nations. Russian has a rich literary tradition, with famous writers such as Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Anton Chekhov.

The language has a complex grammar with six cases, three genders, and two numbers. Russian is known for its phonetic pronunciation, with words generally pronounced as they are written.
