DARIA MOLCHANOVA
About this episode

Где говорят на русском

Если вы думаете, что люди говорят на русском языке только в России, то вы глубоко ошибаетесь. Русский язык – это шестой в мире язык по численности говорящих. Количество владеющих русским языком в России – 137,5 млн человек, а в мире – около 260 млн человек.

Это государственный язык Российской Федерации, один из двух государственных языков Белоруссии, один из официальных языков Казахстана, Киргизии и нескольких других стран. Многие говорят на русском в Восточной Европе и в странах бывшего Советского Союза. Русский – это один из шести официальных языков ООН и других международных организаций.

Translation

If you think that people speak Russian only in Russia, you are seriously mistaken. The Russian language is the sixth language in the world by the number of speakers. The number of Russian speakers in Russia is 137.5 million people, and about 260 million in the world. 

It is an official language of the Russian Federation, one of two official languages of Belarus, one of the official languages on Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and several other countries. Many people speak Russian in Eastern Europe and the countries of the former USSR. Russian is one of the six official languages of the United Nations and other international organisations.
