Fw: "Rossianin": QUERY

[Katja Hirvasaho]

What is a Russian? Here's a quote from Knizhnoe obozrenie, #32, 5 August 2002, p. 4, Section ‘Retsenzii,” column heading “Russkaja duel’”:

--Pervaja duel’ sluchilos’ pri Aleksee Mikhajloviche v 1666 godu.  Soshlis’ togda russkie ofitsery major Montgomeri í Patrik Gordon´, kotoryj komandoval Butyrskim polkom pri vzjatii Azova.

Sudite sami.
