>>9170921It's an interesting place, for sure, but in terms of return for time put in, there isn't much that you get from learning the Russian language if the pursuit of it is purely for personal enjoyment.
If you're looking for discussion, you won't find much of worth on the internet. If you're looking for entertainment, unless you enjoy literature you'll be far behind a lot of other languages in terms of content. If you're looking for any experience other than traveling among them, you won't be missing out on very much, I don't think.
It all depends on time investment, I suppose, if you pursue it with the hope of unlocking a treasure trove, or just as a point of saying "I can do this," but that's my perspective on it.
