Polese, Abel – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2014

We demonstrate that, in terms of oral language, MB is as proficient in Russian as English, with a mild advantage for…

Latova, Natalia V.; Savinkov, Vladimir I. – European Journal of Education, 2012
The emigration of highly-qualified academics ("brain drain") is considered an essential factor in the decline of the human capital of post-Soviet Russia. However, statistics show that the scale of this phenomenon since 2000 was minor. The Russian scientists who went abroad for permanent residence or for a contract job abroad represented…

Numerous studies, examining the acquisition of non-referential it in [-pro-drop] English by learners of [+pro-drop] languages, have revealed that their participants omit non-referential subjects in English if their L1 allows null-subject position. However, due to the specificity of their focus, these studies have not considered other difficulties…
