I saw Russian Ark years ago -- maybe it's time to try it again. It was a little confusing
the first time.
I take it you haven't specifically studied Czech, and this was all due to Russian
cognates, yes? Back when I was trying to study Russian the first time, I recall that I
ended up on a Bulgarian website somehow (no idea why), and I was pleasantly surprised to
see that I could puzzle out a few things here and there (including determining that
твёрдый знак from the Russian Cyrillic alphabet has it's own phonetic value in Bulgarian
writing--apparently this is conservative from Old Church Slavonic, see:
here for other fun facts).
