Hi Rubin,

yes - Facebook offers targeting both per language and per location
(i.e. per country; and in some countries also on a sub-country level).
I have re-shared it targeted to Russian language users; for the
geotargeting, which countries do you mean aside from Russia?

(We usually find that a geotargeted post reaches more users than a
language-targeted one, even when a country consists almost entirely of
speakers of that language. One can also select both at the same time,
but unfortunately it seems that FB interprets this as "AND" - i.e.
showing the post only to users who are both located in that country
and have that language selected. Therefore we normally post twice,
once geotargeted and once language-targeted.)
