The latin alphabet is used frequently in russia

Russia uses Cyrillic alphabet and latin alphabet is used very rarely
(the only related example I can think about is tiny transcriptions of
station names on some Moscow Metro maps).

I found Central Moscow very friendly to those of us only fluent in the
latin alphabet. The one exception was the Landing Card at the airport,
which is only available in Russian. I did think the airlines could have
made more of an effort to provide us with a translation.

That card is a stupid formality - I'd prefer it to be completely
removed. A lot of Russians complain that it is hard to get visa to
European countries or US, but somehow forget that getting visa to
Russia is even harder...
