Cyrillic has been and should be the way Russian is to be written. Anything else will be the dumbed-down version. A book was written here in India on the Romanisation of Hindi ; linguists here had the sense to ignore it

majeed said linguists "had sense to ignore it"... I (as a possible "purist") would have preferred they criticized the attempt to pollute/dilute the language. I strongly agree using Cyrillic is as essential to Russian language as is the proper use of Greek alphabet, Hindi Devanagri, Urdu or Thai script, Korean characters, and so on....
