Why students do not study Russian anymore

[Subhash.Jaireth at AGSO.GOV.AU]

Friends,

A few years ago, in the online journal Australian Humanities Review there
was an interesting discussion on the same question. Please see the following

Best wishes

                Latin and Greek (though, alas, not nearly enough of the
latter) are still
                taught in schools.  One of the arguments advanced in their
favour is that
                their study teaches people to think.  The same argument
could be made for
                Russian.
