HSE Researchers Discover Who Eats Out in Russia-And Why
Around one-third of Russians (31.3%) rarely eat out or buy ready-made meals. The core group of active consumers—those who eat out or purchase prepared food almost every day or several times a week—accounts for only about 9% of the population. These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Varieties of Alaskan Russian: The diachrony of language contact

.
Bergelson M., Kibrik A., Raskladkina M.
In press

Alaskan Russian is a language that emerged in the 18th century as a result of Russian colonial presence in Alaska, was used for everyday communication in Russian America and is still remembered by several elderly persons.  During the Russian America time, Alaskan Russian (termed as such in Krauss 1996) became the native (=first) language for the people of mixed Russian/Native origin (Creoles) residing in various parts of Alaska.  Later, some varieties of Alaskan Russian (AR) kept developing on their own, and served as means of communication, creating and maintaining cultural identity of local communities long after the end of the official “Russian period” in 1867. As a result, AR represents a specific variety of the Russian language.
