Russian Word Search
Russian words spelled the way a textbook writes them in Latin letters: privet and spasibo, babushka and dedushka, the koshka and the sobaka, blini and pelmeni, the samovar, the matryoshka and the balalaika.
Russian is written in Cyrillic, an alphabet of 33 letters named for Saint Cyril, a Greek missionary of the 800s, though it was most likely drawn up by his students in Bulgaria. Some letters look Latin but are not: the Cyrillic P is an R and the H is an N, so the sign that looks like PECTOPAH reads restoran.
Sputnik means fellow traveler; the first one went up on October 4, 1957, and Yuri Gagarin became the first kosmonavt in space in 1961. The matryoshka is younger than it looks: the first set of nesting dolls was made in 1890. In English a babushka is a head scarf, but in Russian babushka means grandmother, who often wore one, and the Volga is the longest river in Europe.
