   Hi, Anton Shepelev! -> Alexander Koryagin

   Maybe -- a translation is generally longer. In this case, in addition to the   
   fact that Russian words are generally longer than English, it can be an   
   additional factor that makes it difficult for a Russian to understand quick   
   English speech. A translation from English makes it longer! ;-)   
      
   Bye, Anton!
