Is it important to study the Russian language? What's the importance of learning it, aside from being one of the most spoken languages, being a United Nations offcial language, and its importance in the field of science and discovery?
Please don't give stupid, insensible and racist answers. Thank you.

It is spoken by huge popullation ( in most of former soviet union republics it was mandatory language at school ), but it is very close to other slavonic languages, with similar grammar bases ( they can partially understand some basic words or the general meaning of the sentence ) . .. it is main language of one huge language group and it is becomming very popular also in western Europe and America.
I can understand, write and talk Russian a bit, but I would LOVE to speak and understand more.
Yes, Smirnoff, it is.
It’s a great language, but very looooong. Try watching ( as I did in the Great Hall of the Kremlin many years ago ) a German libretto opera translated into Russian, it goes on for ever, and the singers need extra oxygen to hold the long bits together !
But seriously, I was privileged to be able to start learning this wonderful language under a delightful Russian teacher, whose husband was an emigre physicist, when I was about 14 years old, It has served me very well, and wish that I had studied it better.
Also, in the same vein, I would thoroughly recommend the study of Mandarin Chinese to any young person today, I am sure that it will become the world’s second language within a few decades.
There is very good reason to learn it.
On a serious note, you may need it if you are ever sent to do business in Russia, or a Russian speaking country.
On a less serious note, you can cuss out and insult your friends in a language they dont know!
yes… learn as much languages as possible. they can help you when finding a job.
Given the history of Russia, its essential that the language be studied by other people.
