I've just found very cool test about "How good do you know russian culture?".

http://www.kommersant.ru/k-vlast/vlast-test.asp?level=

Test contains a huge set of proverbs and famous phrases from films and books and more...
It's very far from basic level and level 5 is very hard even for me, native speaker. But there are answers and everyone who knows russian can have some fun! :)
It's fully in russian, of course...
P.S. Fogive me for my mistakes, if there any :)

Ha =) For me, native speaker, level 1 is too difficult =)

Too bad!

I've got TRUE SOVOK degree (completed 5th level), but I cheated for a little: had using yandex.ru for some questions.

I don't even know my native popular culture like that.
russian, I've only been around it for about 4 years, and only lived in Russia for one.

I guess I don't pay much attention that stuff.

Some of this is strongly dated anyway (I bet that 90% of native Russian speakers aged under 30 will fail). You just have to have lived then and there to know some of this stuff. Or use Yandex.

I wouldn't get a Russian citizenship, judging by this test... +)

Ho, ho, ho!

I believe one's got to be about 40 to know all these things and quotations and idioms... and quite a well-educated person, too.
I don't take it too much to heart... +)

Well, I'm 28, and I hadn't much problems with the test, however I must admit that I've googled couple of things to remember their exact forms -- test engine seems to be too simple and doesn't allow even slightest errors.

Not exactly. However, one should really know lots of old movies. ^_^ But I'm still puzzled about test's authors' fascination with "Берегись автомобиля"...

??? Just a couple of quotations, I'd say. "Нога кого надо", "Стелькин-взяточник"... what else?

I couldn't remember it right now, but when I was taking the test, I got an impression that it was quoted significantly more often than other cult movies like "Белое солнце пустыни".

Давайте :)) As I understand you are from MAI also.

I graduated from МАИ in 1983, 4th faculty - Radio-Electronics of Flying Apparatus (ФРЭЛА) - sounds weired in English, doesn't it? :))
I specialized on digital integrated circuit (IC) design.

And this is what I currently do at ATI Research. This days it's called "ASIC" design, I design digital demodulators and decoders for digital and analog television. BTW: ATI is becoming AMD soon, i.e. we were recently purchased by AMD and will be officially "AMD" in November 06.

... and I write in Russian in my LJ. :)) Lets talk there.

I beg your pardon, but you're asking a completely wrong person. I live in Germany and have never been to USA, neither I have any connection to literature or publishing. Means I can give no useful advice. Sorry again.
