We have adopted a Russian child, and we're hoping to get him some fairy tales in his native language, any websites you guys could recommend would be quite helpful.

Do practically everyone in the former Soviet Republics speak Russian as a native language or second language?
Is there specific data on the number of people who can speak it?
Thanks.
