Is Livejournal a Russian community nowadays?

 Not that I mind Russia, Russians or Russian, quite the opposite - it just bugs me that there's so much interesting text on here that I can't get at the contents of. So far I've found at least two communities that I would really love to be able to read on here - only I can't, because even if I could decipher Kyrillian letters without having to look up half of them all the time, I still don't get anything much out of the content.

Clearly, I need to learn to at least read a little Russian. They seem to have so much fun on Livejournal, and they share so many of my interests!

In other news, the first snow came today - or, rather, the first snow that stayed on the ground for more than a couple of hours came today. Still has it's charm, but I'm definitely tired of walking to the subway station with cold and wet feet already. I need a warm and stylish pair of rubber boots.

Hasn't Livejournal survived at least a couple of those, though? Myspace and Facebook, and probably another fad or two that I missed completely. There was a discussion about this on a blog I read sometimes a few weeks ago, and someone there put it rather well, I thought - the people who stayed on LJ were the ones who actually have something to write about. I think LJ will survive, unlike many other networking sites.
The communities are what makes LJ stand out the most for me, that's what made me get a new account, but the friends page is a great thing, too.

I hate Facebook, but I capitulated and got an account because I have friends who post photos and the like there and nowhere else. The intention was to fly under the radar and only use it to keep track of them, but I have to admit (grudgingly) that it's actually very useful for getting club and scene information too, as dreadful as it is.
