What good Russian interpretation takes.
Many Russian speakers we serve speak it as a second language. Russian remains a lingua franca across the former Soviet Union, so interpreters stay alert to Ukrainian, Central Asian, and Caucasus backgrounds — and we always offer the speaker's first language where we cover it.
