On gavarit po russki

I visited the Vatican museum and St Peter's this morning.
It was very crowded, and as you approach the square you run a gauntlet of guides offering tours in different languages. Of course there are guides in English, Spanish, German etc, though not many in Asian languages though there were many Asian people there. I think people from Asia often come in groups with their own guides.

The thing that surprised me was the number of guides offering tours in Russian, it seemed like almost 1 in 20. They were definitely Russian and not Polish. I suppose Rome is very cosmopolitan, so maybe it should not be surprising.
