False. Быть, ecть, бытиe, ecтecтвo, there are four of them.

Subjective, five tenses with two overarching aspects. If tenses were extremely simple, foreigners wouldn't be absolutely buttmad from aspect pairs.

Free word order, nigger. Definite nouns come first, indefinite and/or new and/or important info goes last, literally any word combination is allowed with extreme nuances conveyed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckold

English usage first appears about 1250 in the medieval debate poem The Owl and the Nightingale. It was characterized as an overtly blunt term in John Lydgate's "Fall of Princes", c. 1440. Shakespeare's writing often referred to cuckolds, with several of his characters suspecting they had become one.

The female equivalent cuckquean first appears in English literature in 1562, adding a female suffix to the cuck.

Even if your Sapir-Whorfcel argument had merit, it would still be wrong simply because russian intelligensia in both tsarist and communist regimes was nearly always bilingual or above that. Since Peter the Great russian culture was basically imported european culture, mostly german and french, russian governments were ruled by foreign princes and princesses, hell Peter himself wasn't ethnically russian. The nobility was not interested in disseminating foreign works of fiction or philosophy to the serf masses, so the only access one could have to learning from say Hegel was by studying the original language. It's safe to say that every great russian thinker/writer wasn't a monolingual troglodyte like OP. Lenin for example knew ancient greek.
