    Yes, sure it is. I speak both Russian and Serbo-Croatian. But to me this does not prove the point that Russian is a ripoff of South Slavic languages. Imo Old Church Slavonic might be the closest to proto Slavic. The Slavic language branches independently evolved into different directions. Some of these stayed closer to proto Slavic in certain aspects than others. But none of them is a rip off of another Slavic language branch. I think Mingle in a prior post gave a few good hints on how they differ.

    the verb "be" exists in Russian and there's only one present tense http://www.russianlessons.net/grammar/verbs_present.php

    It's a language of a Norse people, of course it's terrible.

    How hard is a Russian language for Bosnian speaker?

    Ikr, I was talking in English way since there are two of them in English. I actually meant быть, there are many alternatives for sure but they don’t exactly mean the verb “be”. Is there any way to use быть in present tense?

    In Russian, in official form - Menia zovut Sasha/ My name is Sasha
    And, maybe in this way / informally / - J Sasha/ I am Sasha
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.

    Menya zovut... - they call me ....

    that makes them prone to hear and carrying out orders from the Tzars, passive mass
