Schtirlitz embraced self-control

[izard]

I must be losing Russian language skills faster than expected.

Yesterday I dropped something, and automatically said "oops". When this something landed on my bare foot, I said "ouch! shit!" rather than "%:?№!"

I hope I don't have any accent in Russian yet like my wife who some times pronounces the trailing vowels like they sound in German.

Now I can believe Soviet spies were really not using Russian expressions regardless of what happens with them.
