I havent' understand the purpose of this topic. What is interesting in writing Russian words in English letters?Of the special interest of this topic are those Russian words or Soviet neologisms borrowed by English language and being used by native English speakers - in newspaper, broadcasting or even in everyday spoken language. There are plenty of English words adopted by Russian ("file" or "computer" to name a few), by the opposite flow is not so energetic. The more precious are those Russian words that penetrated and the more interesting is encountering one :).
