Sorry, but Madeleine Albright also speaks Russian--probably much better than Rice. A native/heritage speaker of Czech, she took Polish for graduate research conducted in Poland, and she began studying Russian in 1961. I don't know her exact level of ability in Russian, but she was known to conduct official business in Russian, as well as Czech and French.
