Some of them are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vokrugsveta.ru\/vs\/article\/7600\/\">older<\/a> and almost sound native, e.g. <strong>\u0444\u0443\u0442\u0431<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u043e<\/span>\u043b<\/strong> &#8211; soccer or <strong>\u043b\u0438\u0444\u0442<\/strong> &#8211; elevator.
