I suspect that there may be more than one individual posting as user racedo, because the writing style has changed over time (as has the user's location, which was once "Darkest Surrey") but I am quite sure that the mother tongue of the poster is not English, based on some oddities of English phraseology which are characteristic of native speakers of Slavic languages - such as misuse of definite and indefinite articles. That is not to say that the demonstrated fluency in English is anything but admirable, and a credit to the Department for Language Support at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow.
