You do understand off course that a large group of eastern Europeans know Russian as a second language, because... History. It can be useful even without going to Russia.

Yes. I do speak Russian. The times that I needed it were when I was travelling through former USSR countries where English is not that prevalent and when talking to some Ukrainian refugees if they don't speak English.

If I could trade knowing russian to any western language (not even western, basically any) I would, in a heartbeat.
