Reply to comment by mondeir in Lithuania should phase out Russian language teaching - president's adviser by Interrete

There was still a lot of trade with Russia, especially before 2010's-ish. On top of that due to Soviet Union there were a lot of Russian teachers and very few of other languages. It wasn't much of idealogical choice, more just practical.

Yeah but the bigger problem is abundance of Russian teachers and lack of any other language teachers.
