Yes, there are Russians here, but "you commonly hear Russian on the streets" is nonsense. Quit your bullshit.

    You’re clearly not listening. It’s a rare day I don’t overhear someone speaking Russian.

    edit: to clarify, I'm not sure if you just hang out in neighborhoods with a smaller group of Russian speakers, or if you have a different sense of what часто means than I do, but I can tell you I would have struggled with homesickness a lot less if I had heard English spoken in Nizhni as often as I hear Russian spoken in Seattle.

    Clearly, you are choosing very specific places to frequent.

    Yeah? I'm a Russian speaker in Seattle, it might just be possible that I'm more frequently in Russian-speaking places in Seattle? And "often overheard" is not a high bar to clear -- if you take the bus to lunch and back again, you'll hear dozens of conversations; even if only a very small portion of them are in Russian, you'll still hear one most days.
