Language Russian, the official language, can be difficult for Westerners to read as it is written in Cyrillic script. It is, however, worth taking a bit of time to learn the letters as it will make any time spent in Russia much easier. For example, the indecipherable PECTOPAH can be transliterated into RESTORAN, giving a much better indication that this is a place to get a meal. Russian has a lot of similarities to other Slavic languages, and to a degree they are mutually comprehensible, especially Ukrainian. English is not common in Moscow; it is usually only spoken by those in business or in the tourist trade.
