99% are NOT from Russia, most people that say they are Russian, and in the U.S. ARE NOT, THEY ARE FROM EASTERN EUROPE (they might speak a bit of Russian). For some reason (prolly cause they think that they will get more respect), and YES, it's a scam, the Russian Mob make the U.S. mob look like a bunch of Cub Scouts, (and they all have Phd's). The women come over here, marry you, have a kid, BANG instant citizenship, files for divorce, BANG, instant income, and you picked up the tab COMRADE !

It depends what you'd like to do with the second language and where you live. Some areas of the U.S. have large Russian-American communities (such as Los Angeles) and others have longstanding German roots.\n\nIf traveling in Western Europe is intriguing to you, you'd be fluent in Austria and Switzerland, as well as Germany. Plus, you may be able to understand some Dutch. In many former Iron Curtain countries, many residents still know Russian, though some refuse to use it since they were once forced to learn and speak it.\n\nGerman does use the same alphabet as we do, so you have a head start there. Did you know that German is the sister language to English?

New York City, New York.\n\nThe cultural Melting Pot of the World and unofficial Capital of the Free World.  Home of the United Nations.  That alone tells you that there is people from every registered nation on the planet, there.\n\nJust taking into consideration of all the restrictions most european countries have on immigration.  Your best bet would be New York and Toronto, Ontario.  Those two cities are actually relatively close and can see both in a day.  Only about an hour and a half flight between the two.

California continues to be the state with the highest proportion of immigrants, with 26.9 percent of residents born abroad in the 2002 count, up from 26.2 percent in 2000, the survey concluded. \n\nAmong large cities, San Francisco and San Jose rank fifth and sixth in the nation, respectively, for their high percentages of foreign-born residents. They rank behind Miami, Santa Ana, Los Angeles and Anaheim. New York is seventh.

In my opinion it would be in New York.  There are many schools there and you can fence competitions year around to get your classifications and experience in any weapon or age group.\n\nThat said, there are good schools everywhere.  What you want to get, though is a good school with a good trainer, as well as a lot of students with whom you can mix it up and get experience. Also, the high density of fencers and competitions is important, too.\n\nI am fencing in St. Petersburg Russia now and love the variety and excellence...I see better 18 year old fencers here than anywhere else and I get to train with them even though they are international level and I am not.

It absolutely will not hurt your chances - it just means that you would be given the same chance as any American in the U.S. and the same chance as any Russian in Russia, so you are ahead of the game.\n\ns

Very few.  If she wants to practice in the US, she will have to go through State licensure--and that may require additional coursework & clinical rotations, but its doable.  If you come to the US, plan to stay in the larger gateway cities initially--New York City would be your best choice.  There is a very large Russian-Ukrainian-Polish etc. community there and it has developed quite an extensive network of assistance.

everyone in the americas is the descendant of immigrants, unless you are a first-generation immigrant. the so-called "native americans" and "first citizens" as well as the "pre-columbian indians" migrated across a land-bridge between alaska and siberia (across what is now the Bering Strait) between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.

I moved from NY about 2 years ago, but i grew up all over, Albany, Utica, Frankfort, Hicksville (yes that is a town), Herkimer, Queens, Westbury...the list seems never ending.

Chicago has the highest population of Polish people outside of Warsaw. Casmir Pulaski was some kind of hero in the Revolutionary War, but I don't remember exactly why.  All of Illinois celebrates it as a holiday.
