Many thanks to those who responded to my message!
My question was as follows:
>What has been done for Russian in the area of computational linguistics?
>Are there any tagged corpora of Russian text available (or untagged
>corpora, if they are interesting in any other respect)?
>Are there any machine readable lexica for Russian available?
>Morphological descriptions? Grammars?
>Do people feel that the methods developed for languages such as English
>are adequate for Russian? (My own feeling is that they are not always
>adequate..)
