Reply to comment by southern_breeze in Lithuania should phase out Russian language teaching - president's adviser by Interrete

Can't blame ya. What with Russian government deciding to become terrorists.

I can't really comment on bussiness side of things in modern Lithuania. Haven't lived there for 12 years and things most certainly changed.

But 12 years ago knowing Russian was a massive boon for finding jobs in Lithuania it self. Even more so if you knew both English and Russian.

yeah, a lot has changed these past few decades. With the sanctions that started a long time ago, a lot of businesses has reorganised from working with russia to working within EU and western world, and obviously "the money is in the west".

Probably the biggest industry that I can think of that Russian language is still needed is logistics - someone has to know Russian to speak to the drivers that majority comes from the East and they don't speak English.
