Nice, nice! I have been pretty obsessive about the whole thing too, hah. Given statistics though, it looks like applicants to Russia often have a decent shot, relatively speaking. If you don't mind me asking, how do you think the whole interview went? Mine went well, I thought, but I couldn't tell what they were looking for necessarily. I don't think I dazzled them with my Russian, but isn't the whole point of the interview for Russia, at least as I understand it, to let them know (because of the language requirement) you can speak functionally. Just curious to hear your thoughts.
