Rice on Russian Radio

[Elena Gapova]

Condoleeza Rice did say several phrases in Russian in the NTV interview -
that she does not speak the language as well now, for she does not have
regular practice, and skills go away, but she loves the language - and it
sounded very well; it looked like she speaks well (no mistakes with cases or
soglasovanie sushchestvitel'nogo s prilagatel'nym).

I was just speaking to a Russian friend of mine in Moscow last night,
and he said he watched an interview with Condoleeza Rice on NTV. She
apparently spoke Russian, and he said her Russian was actually quite
good (it wasn't dubbed? I asked skeptically, but he said no). If you go
to www.ntv.ru there are at least two articles about C. Rice's visit to
Vilnius and statements she made about Belorus' and meetings she had
with Belarusian opposition leaders. I didn't see any way to play the
actual footage, but perhaps I missed it...

Best,
Sara Stefani
