Well?

Are we going to talk about Russian or argue over the correct use of вы versus Вы all day? ;-) I barely know how to conjugate in Russian! Can someone provide some basic verbs, the most common ones and things like that, irregular things, greetings, simple phrases, etc.?

I'm assuming everyone here who's learning Russian has the alphabet down and somewhat of an idea of correct pronunciation and stress. I know that much, at least... so... anything?

Russian names

[kutsuwamushi.livejournal.com]

Sometimes while working on homework, I'll come across a Russian nickname that I'm unfamiliar with. It would be nice to be able to look up the name so I don't get my papers back with smiley faces and notes that Стёша would probably object to being called a girl. The problem is that the lists I've found online so far are pretty limited.

Are there any more comprehensive lists online? Russian pages are fine - I'm just not proficient enough to search in the language, myself.
