Welcome everyone!

To begin with, here's a great link for everyone who doesn't have a Cyrillic keyboard:

http://www.translit.ru/

You type in Latin, and Cyrillic characters come out.
However, since it uses VBScript, it only works with Internet Explorer. But there's another one, http://www.cifirica.ru, which is a little less user friendly, and sometimes glitchy - however, it's the original, the almost legendary Lat2Cyr convertor which has been around for years, so it's not to be lightly spoken of. :)

I'll come back tomorrow with some hopefully interesting stuff of the did-you-know type. Meanwhile, feel free to share impressions, ask questions, and everything (...и всё такое).

So far there are two native Russian speakers in the community, centralasian and myself. We've already got into a small debate over a tricky case of punctuation, and found that neither of us is 150% sure. This is certainly going to be fun.

Yours,

Nikolay

I've been using a phonetic-keyboard recently and it's been much better than the standard MS placement for me. I reccomend this keyboard to everyone: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PaulGor/kbd_eng.htm#p1251
