I also am from a Russian speaking family and I came to California when I was one. We spoke Russian at home and English outside. So I turned out fluent in both languages. I guess you can say Russian was my first language because I only started school when I was 4. Sometimes I have trouble speaking Russian when I have been around English for a long time, but it goes away after about an hour. So I think your case might be unique.

None at all. But as I don’t speak Russian, that’s hardly surprising.
