The Letter З

[ugly-boy.livejournal.com]

In written Russian, З is supposed to look like this, right: z right? (Note: requires special fonts)

i've had about zilch experience with russian, so...

if I wanted to say "Lenin's Bolshevik newspaper", would I say "Bolshevik gazeta Lenin" or anything remotely close to that?...

oh, and i'm trying to teach myself russian (not very successfully) and how can you tell where the stresses are in a word? like "a" is "a" in Cyrillic when it's stressed, but "o" when it is not (I think). or would you just have to memorize them?

i would appreciate the help, thank you. :)
